st. Paul, April 3.-Once more has
the specter of sectionalism stalked
through legislative halls.
This time it appeared i'm the House
Of Representatives. The same meas
ure that evoked the sectional spirit
In the Senate was responsible, name
ly the constitutional amendment bill
limiting the membership in House
and Senate to 100 and so, respectively.
An amendment to the bill by Pascal
H. Frye of Willmar to limit the repre-
sentative from any one county to six
members" while loosely framed, was
recognized at once as the old attempt
to bring back the "seven senator"
amendment in another form, a propo-
sition twice turned down by the peo-
pie of the state. The amendment was
voted down.
Tom Davis of Marshall then submit
ted an amendment to limit the number
Of senators to seven and representa-
tives to IL from any one county.
James Dryer of Minneapolis led the
fight against this proposal. Many
members voted for this amendment
knowing that 1t would kill the bill
On final roll call the bill got only %
votes, there being II votes against it..
Four minor bills, prepared by the eff
f1ciency and economy commission,
were passed. They were as follows:
Placing the purchasing of station
cry, furniture and supplies for all state
departments in the hands of the board
of control.
Creating bureau of investment.
Abolishing the board of directors Of
the state public school at Owatonna
and placing the management of the
institution under the board of con-
troll.
Transferring the care of the state
capitol grounds to the board of con-
troll.
The other efficiency and economy
bills, including the public domain bill,
will come up later.

so-called blind pig" bill made a
special order of business in the House
of Representatives has been made. 1t
was opposed again on the ground that
it was entirely too drastic. The vets
and some of the drys insisted that the
bill is really statutory prohibition by
injunction. Dry leaders who are sup
porting the bill realize that the only
hope for its passage is to have it made
a special order of business. 1t is now

st. Paul, March 31-Partial suf-
frage, asked for by one woman's suf-

other, has been defeated in the Min
nesota senate yesterday by vote of
81 to IS.
The bill, introduced by Senators
Sageng and Putnam, would have
granted women the right to vote for
presidential electors.
With the defeat of the so-called
Statutory Suffrage bill by the upper
House, the hopes of suffragists for any
legislation at this session were shat

The appropriations committee Of the
House Of Representatives has slashed
$2,399,792 out of the requests made by
the board of control for state institu-
tons.
The board asked for $7,75S,9O0, the
largest request in recent years. Gov
ernor Burnquist recommended a
straight cut of $1,OOO,OOO a year or ST.
100000 in all. The house committee
has gone one better.
The committee allowed most Of the
requests for additions to insane hospi-
tails but denied all other requests for

Governor Sends Message.

st. Paul, April Ex-Governor J. A. A.
Burnquist has sent special message
to the Minnesota house, urging the
passage of the bill creating a public
domain department in Minnesota and
taking control of state timber, lands
and mines, from the state auditor.
The bill is considered the most i'm.
portant of the so-called efficiency and
economy" measures and was defeated
last week in the senate by two votes.
The governors action raises direct
issue between him and State Auditor
]. A. o. Preus, who opposes the plan.
Friends Of the bill have arranged for
its amendment in the house to meet
objections raised in the senate. Rep
resentative Charles H. Warner, spon-
sor for the bill, will seek to offer an
amendment striking out the provision
providing for a director of public do
main to have complete charge of the
department.

IMPORTANT HAPPENINGS IN
THE MINNESOTA LEGISLATURE
Review of Events of the Past Few Days
Primary Convention Bill Lost

st. Paul, April 2. The Rustad
primary convention bill was lost in
the state Senate by vote of 20 to
3d.
The amendment offered by Senator
William A. Campbell, striking out the
preamble to the bill, which set forth
the reasons for its passage, was car
ried. A second amendment offered by
Senator j. A. Jackson, emasculating
the bill by striking out the sections
referring to printing on the ballot of
the recommendations of the proposed
conventions, was lost by tie vote, 81
to 81.
The bill provided for the printing
of the nominations Of political parties
for state offices on the primary bal
lots, under party emblems.
Amended so as to exclude from it's
provisions organizations or persons
advocating criminal syndicalism, sa-
botage, crime or violence, an anti
injunction bill was passed by the Min
nesota House of Representatives by
vote of rs to 38.
The bill, Endorsed by the State Fed
Grafton of Labor, was introduced by
Representatives Leo ]. Gleason Of
Minneapolis and Thomas ]. McGrath
of st. Paul. 1t prohibits the restrain
ing order in case of strikes.
After hearing from those who want
the Mayo foundation utilization with
the university dissolved the House
committee on university and university
lands recommended the dissolution
bill out for passage.
Representatives John M. Harrison
of Minneapolis and o. E. Hammer Of
Rochester, voiced strenuous objections
to the committees procedure. When
the committe was called together, r.
T. Young, former attorney general,
representing proponents of the DISCO
luton, and several others opposed to
the utilization were present.
If the bill take it's regular course,
there is no hope of the House ever
reaching vote on it. If it should be
submitted to a vote, it will be beaten
by big majority, say those who OPP
pose the attempts to interfere with
what the regents have done.
