President Arnold. The resolution
provides that not more than three
shall be appointed from the same
political party.
A similar resolution was rejected
by the legislature just before former
Governor John J. Cornwell took
Office. The latter appointed an eff
cheney commission on his own initia-
tive, but the war soon terminated its
functioning.
The Bowers resolution authorizes
the commission to employ such cleri-
cal or other assistance as may be
needed, and may call upon any ac-
countants employed by the state to
assist in making its investigation and
report.
The commission serves without paw
but the governor is empowered to pay
its actual expenses out of the civil
contingent fund.
Nine bills were passed by the SEN
ate, six of them being house bills,
two of them senate and one senate
substitute for house bill.
Repeal Ripper Bill.
Another ripper" bill was repeal
ed when the senate passed house
bill, 25 to 0, empowering the COVER
nor to make temporary appointment
to the Office of United States senator
in case of vacancy.
A house bill providing for the
adoption of school text books was
approved, 20 to 0. Hereafter five of
the seven members of the state board
of education may order a change in
text books, but not more than 80 per
cent of the subjects may be changed
in any five year period. A unani-
nous vote to make a change was re-
quired heretofore.
A house bill authorizing county
courts to aid county farm bureaus in
the employment of agricultural
agents passed, % to 2. Senators
Burr and Hartman dissenting. A SEN
ate bill providing for a state law
library, held up several days, made
the goal today, 20 to 10. Others
passed by the senate were: One en-
larging the right of consolidation of
lands; another authorizing assistants
for prosecuting attorneys; one autho-
rizing municipalities to lay levies for
Fairgrounds and other recreational
facilities, and a house bill relating to
streets, roads and highways within
the corporal limits of Wheeling, pas
sed 20 to 0.
The senate defeated, 16 to z, the
house joint resolution for a commits
sion to investigate the whole question
of state hospital and the establish
ment of medical school.
Court Bill Tabled.
The house of delegates tabled to-
day a senate bill relating to the trial
of criminal cass, after lengthy de-
bate. The measure, which was pass

when conditions will not permit hold
ing the trials within that time. This
measure was recommended by form
er Governor Cornwell at the last
