TOO BUSY To PLAY
Senate Spent Its Last Night
Working at High Speed.
Many Measures Put Thru at the
Eleventh Hour.

Adopted as One OF Last Acts.

by the Upper House.
GIVE MOTHERS PENSIONS

The last night in the senate was
a quiet, orderly affair as compared
with the night session in the house.
The senate had real work to do ana
while rules were suspended and busl-
ness was conducted in a loose manner,
for adjournment. Bill after bill was
swept from the calendar.
At o'clock Thursday night, three
hours before the time set for adjourn
ment, there were seventy-five bills on
the calendar and they were all house
bills. The consideration of bills con-
tinued for half an hour or more after
midnight by unanimous consent Many
a local bill for which the author
had lost hope was put thru in the last
hours. Senator Doerr was sponsor
for a dozen or more local bills in
troduced in the interests of the half
dozen counties in his district. They
had been pushed to the back of the
calendar time after time. Practically
all of them were passed last night
of business Very few bills of a gen.
eral character were considered after
the evening session began.
One of the last acls of the senate
was to adopt the report of a confer
ence committee on the mothers pen
sion bill. The senate acceded to the
house amendments. AS passed, the
bill places the administration of the
widows pensions in the hands of
the juvenile court (probate judge)
and limits the amount TO any one
family to S25 a month.
Pass Bill Gets BY.
The senate also gave way to the
house in connection with the anti-pass
bill As passed by the senate it per-
mitted telephone employees to ride the
trains on railroad passes. That was
slipped into the senate bill as an
amendment. What the bill was orig
inally intended to do was to permit
wives of retired railroad employees the
use of passes and to make certain pro-
visions for caretakers of stock ship
ments. The house struck out the
amendment relating to telephone en-
ployes and the senate consented to It
during the final hours.
Late at night, Senator Thompson,
of Reno, offered a resolution providing
a committee to confer with the state
architect about the remodeling of the
senate chamber during the next two
years. The legislature has appro-
priated 81 200 for repairs on the east
wing of the state house and a part of
it IS to be spent in the senate cham

A Good Test Splendidly Met

Some years ago sewing machine house under
took mail order campaign in which the offer was
made to send sewing machines to any readers of
religious papers who would order them No pay
ments were required down, and installment pay
ments were provided for, provided the sewing
machine was satisfactory. The house was doubt
full as to whether it could stand this absolute de-
pendence upon the financial responsibility and
the honesty of church people, and, after the first
seventy sewing machines had been shipped out on
this proposition, the advertising discontinued
temporarily to see how the collections would be-
After months all of the collections were in,
dthe sewing machine house reported complete
collections on every of the seventy sewing ma
chimes, sixty nine OF them paid up in full by the
reli gious press readers who had ordered them and
the SEVENTEEN paid for by railroad, which had
smashed the shipment in transit. That particular
test showing religious press readers to have a
credit 100 per cent good led to more extensive ad-
~vertising on a similar line, and the sale of vast
numbers of sewing machines on the unnvestgated
credit of readers of church papers.
