Committees from both branches of
the legislature conferred on the bill
amending the Dunn road law. The
house refused to concur to the SEN
ate amendment to the bill, making
the minimum state aid in any county
eight-teaths of mill instead of one
mill. The senate receded from it's
amendment and repassed the bill last
Friday morning.

calendar the bill by Senators Hegnes
and r. G. Dunn proposing a consti-
tutional amendment repeating the
constitutional requirement of de-
cennial state census.
The house passed the road house
under suspension of the rules last
Saturday, but there is some question
as to the validity of the passage.
Speaker Flowers is of the opinion
that it requires eighty seven votes
to suspend the rules, although on
Saturday he ruled that lesser num-
Der would suffice. The "drys'' pro.
pose to stand pat, however, and as.
sumo the risk of the bill being de.
clared invalid by the courts.
The conference report on the Min.
nette Burrows telephone regulation
bill has been adopted by the house
and senate both. This bill puts tele.

nection to. the toll lines of Other
companies unless it can prove that
it is not public necessity.
The house under suspension of the
rules last Monday passed the pro.
posed constitutional amendment by
Representative Stevens giving the

governor can only strike them out
altogether.
The bill to admit Spanish-Ameri
can war veterans and their wives
and widows to the state soldiers
home was also passed in the house
under suspension of the rules.
Present indications are that the
bill forbidding the state university
to take up with the Mayo clinic
foundation has no chance of passing.
A majority of the house committee
is of the opinion that to pass the
measure would endanger the perma.
nent success of the institution.
The senate last Monday morning
passed the bill by Senator John T.
Alley providing that no saloons may
be licensed within two miles of a
"dry'' community. The law now
prohibits saloons within a radius OF
half mile of "dry'' towns.
The house paid standing tribute
to William A. Flowers, father of the
speaker, last Monday afternoon. The
elder Mr.. Flowers passed away sud
denly at Philadelphia.
The senate without an opposing
vote passed the bill by the finance
committee reducing the salary of the
state forester 81, 900 year and the
salary of his assistant $500. The SEN
