measures going through according to
advance plans, only six were passed,
and only one Of these was of major
importance. The others will be con-
sidered on special order later.
The bill amending the present law
governing the issuance of marriage Ii
censes caused the split that disar-
ranged the plans Of the sponsors for
the measures.
The bill was originally presented
with recommendation that apple
ants be compelled to give ten days
notice of their intention to wed

changed the bill so that only five
days notice should be required.

to eliminate the notice altogether and
won by vote Of 81 to 48.
The existing law requires the clerk
of court to examine the applicant for
a marriage license relative to the le-

application must be certified to the
district court and no license issued

Oratory Costly to State.

St. Paul, March 23.-Here's what
cratory by state legislators is costing
tax payers:
The House of Representatives spent
one hour in debating a resolution to
grant an additional $3.50 to Reading
Clerk c. G. Kinney, because of his
ability and in view of the strain under
which he must work. On the final
question there were only IA negative
votes.
Each of the 1870 members Of the
House receives $1,000 for 90 legisla-
tive days or more than $11 day, or
more than $3.50 per hour, based on an
average Of three hours per day in
actual session.
Thus to grant the $3.50 appropria-
ton, the state spent more than $500
for oratory.
