Lower House Passes Twelve
Bills With Little Debate
This Morning


Apparently the senator's got rid of
most of their aggressiveness in the big
fight over the state highway commission
bill yesterday, for it was gentle and
peaceful body this morning remaining
on its good behavior throughout the ses-
sion. There was only one bill that caused
any discussion, or rather two companion
bills, Nos. SIG and 317, both introduced
by Judiciary committee. The first pro,
hibited the use of public funds afte:
December 81, 1918, for the care or sup
port of dependent, delinquent or defec
tive children, except in state institu.
tions. 1t was stated in explanation of
the bill that there was at every session
of the legislature bitter fight between
seetarian institutions as to who should
have the care of these wards Of the
state. This bill, said Senator Wilbur,
would do away with this. It was claim
ed, and undoubtedly true, the state
could have these wards taken care of
more eheaply under the present system
bnt it was because charitabfe, people put
up thenfoney. The people of the state
paid the bills, and it was right that all
the people should contribute to theil
support instead of those who were sorry
for and wanted to help these unfortun
ates. The bill failed to pass Its com
panion, No. 317, had better luck anc
went through. It provided for submis
sion to the people the proposition OF
building and maintaining a, state insti
tuition for these wards, and fixed the
sum to be voted on for construction of
the necessary buildings at 100000
This bill will go on the ballot at the
next election, if it passes the house foI
the people to pass upon. AS Senator
Wilbur said "If the people want il
they can vote for it and if they want
the present system it is up to them to
say So" President Moser made strong
plea for the passage of the BILL and
