Certain Senators Block the
Amendment to Work.
mems Compensation.

Helena, Feb. 21.-(Special Core
spondence)-Oneo of the features of the
recent proceedings in the senate has
been the killing of the Kane bill, which
amended the workman's compensation
act in accordance with the Republic
an state platform adopted last fall.
ut certainly is marvellous to witness
the rapidity with which party planks
have been shattered during the present
session." said Senator Kane, discussing
the assassination of his bill. Zone OF
the main reasons why SO many have
been broken is, of course, the fact that
there were more made last fall than
usual, but is it, nevertheless, rather
a strange feeling to sit and watch fell
low Republicans break into bits the
planks on which they ran for the leg
islature. The Republican platform dis
tinctly called for an amendment to the
compensation act. Even though the bill
was my own, I believe it was not n
bad measure. It embodied the views of
all OF the people who thought that the
compensation act needed fixing and 1t
was killed with no fanfare of trumpets
and no blowing of bugles. Not a reason
was assigned for the deed. The Re-
publican senators-and by that mean
those who have lined up consistently
in an effort to repudiate Republican
ism-were there sufficiently strong to
kill the bill without assigning one
single reason for bringing it to pre-
mature grave. They simply killed it.
"Of course. one of the chief hits at
the Republican party has been the un-
heard of action with regard to the state
land board. All during the campaign
there was hue and cry for an in
vestigation of the proceedings of this
body. Yet when an opportunity pre-
scented itself to really get at the
bottom of things in this department
the Edwards faction thoroughly ham
strung the Republican board OF en-
aminers and withdrew the real ad-
ministration Of affairs from the state
