DOWN by THE SENATE.

protest came from cities which own
and operate their own municipal
plants and which protested against
turning over control of their affairs
to the state railway commission.

luton for a constitutional amend
ment allowing the counties Of the
state TO engage in public hail insur-
ance through assessments on agricul-
tural lands. II will be submitted to
the people of the state at the next
regular election.

creation of a state industrial farm

who the court thought would be bet
ter off at out of door labor than in
the ~penitentiary or reform school.
This was amended to definitely fix
the location at the site of Fort Sis
seton, in Marshall county, and
passed.
The bill to provide for mutual in
surance of workmen under the work
mems compensation act was paced
by The house without a protesting
vote.
The house devoted a part Of the
afternoon to appropriation bills and
gave it's approval TO bills which carry
a total of s341, 500, including build
the tuberculosis sanitarium. at the
state university and on the state fair
grounds.
The special appropriations TO date
run about $700,0 900, with the gen
eral bill carrying $3.400,0 600. With

for the session will be near $4,000
900.

church, gave short addresses to both

The senate members this after
noon presented Lieut.. Gov. McMas-
ters with a fine watch as a token of
their appreciation of his services as

partment made public a synopsis Of
the army general staff universal serv-
ice and training plan which also vas
sent to congress with the estimates OF
