The "drys' of the house are said to be
dissatisfied with the amendment, es-
pecially the feature which provides that
it take, effect July 1, 1920 instead of
January 1, as originally passed by the
House, and it is understood, will now
take up and push with all possible speed
the statutory ''bone dry" bill, Ito take
effect January l, 1913: The bill may
pass the house, but it's fate in the senate
is very uncertain. Members of that
body, especially the conservative element
among the 'drys'' of that body feel that,
now an amendment to the State Con-
stltutlon has been submitted it would
be unfair to make the state "dry" be-
tore the people have had an opportunity
to- vote on the question. $780,.
The tonnage tax bill came up for
action yesterday afternoon, but it's fate
is not yet known here. go. 1T 49,
The house has passed bill that is re-
celving large amount of praise from
every quarter just now. It authorizes
the Railroad and Warehouse Commission
to order the railway ccmpanit to grant
special rates for hauling gravel and
crushed rock for road making purposes
in the state. .':..-
Cities and villages will be authorized
to employ prisoners on street work, pro-
viding a bill that has recently passed the
senate gets by in the house.
Grain Investigation Halted.
Some time ago the house adopted
resolution by A. F. Teigen providing for
an investigation of the grain inspection
department, of the Minneapolis Cham
Der of Commerce, the Duluth Board of
Trade and the Equity COOPERATIVE
Exchange of st. Paul by committee of
five house members. The speaker has
appointed Mr.. Teigen chairman of the
committee, but the investigation cannot
be gotten under way, until the rules
committee decides whether the COM
mittee can have any funds at it's disposal.
Former Congressman Manahan, attorney
tor the Equity, appeared before the
rules committee with a vigorous protest
against Mr.. Teigen's service as chair
man of the committee on the grounds
that he is not properly constituted for
such position and expressed the opinion
that the investigation would be barren
OF results. Mr.. Manahan was attorney
for the house grain investigation COM
mlttee in 1913 and Mr.. Teigen was
member of the same committee.
/ Seat Contests Settled.
All OF the contests for seats in the
house have been settled, and in every
case the man holding the certificate cf
election was seated. The most stubborn
~ fought case was that of former Repre-
sentative Wilkinson of Wadena against
E. E. Orr, who defeated him in the
election. This hinged upon number of
illegal votes and upon alleged violations
OF the corrupt practices act. Mr.. Orr
won handily. =.
The case of former Representative
Thompson of Mahnomen against J. J.
Flikkie was decided few days ago in
favor of Flikkie. The result is in a
measure rebuke to Judge Grindeland of
Warren, who had handed down an
opinion to the effect that Mr. Flikkie
had forfeited his seat, by violating the
corrupt practices act. -: :
