1T is very i'll advised for the house
right of the bat to take a position
against the interests of the people ant
for the railroads. The matter SHOULD
at least be given due consideration Il
1t is not, l warrant you that some o.
you will hear from it when you return

Peterson argued against reconsider

sion now had power to enforce the
provisions of the bill. He admitted
that the railway commission hereto.
fore may have been in sympathy with
the railroads, but hoped the present
commission will not be-"
Divet insisted on making that hope
certainty by the passage of the bill
which had been so unceremoniously
killed.
The motion to reconsider carried, as
did Tenneson's further motion that
the bill be re.referred to the commit
tee on railroads.
The Mileage Graft.
Then Representative Peterson. who
thought some state departments-per.
haps all of them-had spent too much
money, again came to bat with a roar
over the pruning of his mileage bill.
Mr.. Peterson announced that he had
been member of other assemblies.
that he always had putin his mileage
bill for certain amount and that it
always had been allowed. This time.
an unfeeling committee on mileage
and per diem had dared to cut down
his ten cents per on ever so many
miles. And Mr.. Peterson felt particu
larly bad because the senator from
his district. with "2S miles less to
travel" had been allowed 100 miles
in the senate, while he, Peterson, was
cut down to a petty 504 miles, which
in actual money would net him but
5000 for the round trip to Bismarck.
If the committee doesn't know its
business, it should have called in some
of the old members of the house who
do know how to handle these things"
said Mr.. Peterson, who moved that the
report of the committee on mileage
and per diem be recalled and recon.

NEW MINING
LAW PASSED
Delegate Sulzer Wires that All Assess
ment Work on Claims Will be
Suspended for Year

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. "a
The House of Representatives today
passed a resolution abolishing as
sessment work on all mining claims
during the present calendar year. Be-
cause Of slight changes made by the
House a conference with the Senate
is necessary, but it is anticipated that
the measure will be finally enacted
into a law by the middle of next
week. All that is necessary is for a
claim owner to file statement to the
effect that he wants to hold his claim
with the recorder of the district
where the claim is located before the
81 day of December.
Delegate Charles A. Sulzer has been
working upon this law for some time,
and has finally succeeded in having

No Japanese will be taken into the

issued today by Provost Marshal Gen
eral E. H. Crowder. One japanese

ective conscription act. and 1t was the
drafting of him that was made the
basis of formal objection on the
part of Japan through Amaro Sato,
japanese ambassador to the United
States. Japanese are not accorded the
privilege of citizenship, while this
privilege is extended alien residents
from European countries. so the con-
scription law might be applied diff
ferently toward them.
