Gals in the lightly populated counties
OF the west a few days ago. If his
bills were killed in the interests of
economy, he argued that the state
shouldn't spend any more money for
the state medical school.
Senator McIyor's amendment was
favored by Senator Green, of Elk coun-
ty, who said that he didn't believe the
state should continue to grant money
to institutions of higher education until
they had done more for the common
schools. Senator McIvors charge that
he didn't know of much good coming
from the operation of the medical
school at RosedaIe came under hot fire
from several directions at once, and
when the amendment was voted on,
only Senators McIvor and Green voted
in favor of it,
On the final vote on the bill, Sena-
tor McIvor came thru and voted
aye. But Senator Green did not vote.
The entire morning in the senate
was given over to appropriation meas
ures. The workmen's compensation
bill was not taken up, altho it was set
on special orders for 10 o'clock In
order to get the school appropriation
bill thru, Senator Hegler, who is spon-
soring the administration bill for the
workmen's compensation, gave way
and there was no further mention of
the workmen's act.
Money to Hospitals.
The senate passed the amended bill
appropriating money for the state hos
pitfalls, which gives the hospitals more
money than the house committee,
which originated the bill, saw fit to
give them.
The appropriation for the state geo
logical survey met with opposition and
a call of the senate was necessary to
secure the passage of the bill, which
originated with the senate ways and
means committee.
The resolution which returns to the
heirs of DIR. Simeon B. Bell of Rose
dale the site which the doctor gave to
the state some years ago to be used
as the location of a medical school,
was passed by the senate. The site
has been found unsuitable, and no
buildings have ever been erected on
the ground, for the purpose for which
it was given to the state.
The resolution providing for the
erection of memorial tablet in Me-
mortal Hall to the late Charles H.
Chandler. architect of the building
was rassed by the senate, after the ap-
preparation had been cut from $3.50
to $500.
