LOCK HORNS AGAIN
Two More Conference Commit
tees Are Discharged.
Legislature Setting Stage for .
Special Session.

Members of the legislature appear
to be setting the stage for q special
session. Two conference committees
locked horns and were discharged to-
day and the bills under discussion hit
a new snag.
The first conferences between the
house and senate on contested apprO-
priation bills this morning resulted in
a failure to agree and the announce
ment that more time would be re-
quired for consideration of the apprO-
priatiOn for the expenses of the state
board of control and that for the state
home for the feeble minded at Win
field. Both senate committees asked
for new conferences, which means
that new committees will be ap-
pointed.
The i'll feeling between the two
houses was further manifested today
when the question arose as to what
should be done with bills which have
been submitted to conference. The
senate members of the conference on
the board of control bill brought the
bill, itself, home with them and turn
ed it over to the secretary of the SEN
ate. defending their action on the
ground that it was originally a senate
bill. The house then sent word 1t
wouldn't enter. into another confer
ence until the bill had been returned
to it. hTe question was raised on the
floor Of the senate just before the
final action, the bill remaining where
the committee put it.
This action on the part of the house
in refusing a further conference -un-
less the senate gives up it's own bill
may conpiicate Esinatters and cause
more delays. TIC house can refuse to
take further action on the bill or else
go to the trouble of drawing up bill
of its own on theosame subject, which
will have to go. .tn conference, unless
it recedes from its position and
agrees to a second conference on the
senate's bill. - 50. .--
If this form of procedure is adopted
on every bill which goes to conference
there is fine lprOspect that not a
single general appropriation will be
passed before the final adjournment.

to get on record in opposition to the
principle and in the process of strang-
ling the measure, the senate went to
the length of adopting at least one
ridiculous amendment that would
have rendered the bill imperative
that providing that bonds for pur-
chase should be incontestible in any
court even though they violated the
provisions of the state and federal
government. or any treaties that
might now be in force.

of making collections both of its own
notes or of paper held for collection.
