The tonnage tax bill will now 90 to
the senate, where the Range people
will make their last effort to defeat it,
as 1T has been intimated that Governor
Burnquist will sign this bill in. the
event that the senate o. k. g the action
Of the house. At present the result is
in doubt, although the Range has high
hopes Of defeating it in that body.
The Christianson bill increasing the
responsibility Of common carriers pass
ed the house last Monday with only
seven dissenting votes (Levin, Davies,
j., Bjorklund, Lennon, Malmberg,
Searles and Dwyer) voting against It.
"This bill,' said Mr.. Christensen
in speaking on the merits of the meas
ure, "cnly brings us back to the juris-
diction Of carriers under the common
law and if enacted into law will only
be the law that is now in force in
three-fourth Of the states in the un-
ion.'
After what Claude E. Southwick, the
bachelor representative from Faribault
county, had declared was the "tamest
fght' On woman suffrage he had ever
witnessed in the legislature, the house,
by vote Of IS to Al voted to submit
this question to the people.
Rep. A. NJ. Peterson of Itasca coun-
ty, author Of the bill opened the de-
bate in the house and was followed by
Bernard, Corning, Holmes, Stenvick,
Bendixen and Konzen, all speaking for
the bill. Fearing that the contest
might be 'too one sided,' Tom Girl
ing of Hennepin took the floor to op-
pose the bill and was later assisted
by Rep. Nordlin of Ramsey who de-
clared that the women did not want
the vote at this time and when they
did he would vote to submit it to the
people, "but not until them he add
ed. The only diversion of the day was
the outburst Of ''Uncle" Henry Har-
rison from the prison city and the
parliamentary tilt between Tom Davis
and w. I. Nolan. The lineup on this
question was with but few exceptions,
identical to that on the prohibition
amendment, the drys voting for and
vets against the suffrage amendment,
in spite Of the claim made by the dry
leaders that the vets are for the
amendment at this time.
The woman suffrage amendment will
now 60 to the senate where its success
is still uncertain, if we are to judge
the result by the sentiment expressed
by some Of the drys in that body who
have >declared they will kill suffrage
because they fear that if both prohibi-
ton and suffrage be submitted to the
people at one time it will lessen the
chances for prohibition to pass. Should
the vets in tho senate, however, accept
and support this theory, it is possible
that woman suffrage will pass the up
per house Of the legislature with many
votes to spare.
The final roll call on the amendment
was as follows:

being made to pass law establishing
military training in the Minnesota
high schools, and captain of the reg
ular army discussed this matter before
the house committee on legislation last
Wednesday,.
This move on the part of those be-
hind the propaganda is nothing less
than to create a military spirit among
