Overwhelmingly defeated, and
the university allowance stands
as it was amended by Mr.. Hamil-
ton in the House.
The anti-syndicalism changes.
advocated by union labor, swept
through the House, as they had
in the Senate, while the prohibl-
tion act also withstood every at
tempt at amendment. The gas
bill also was passed, without
amendment, the final vote being
50 to 40. Thus the Senate dis
posed of two of the 10 House
bills before it, while the House
got through three of the 90 Sen
ate bills it has TO consider.

the Senate refused to grant the
Simmons amendment, seconded
bv Senator Stoll. to increase the.
board OF charities and corrections
allowance from 81 l,250,0O0 to ST.
100000 in the 1923 budget bill.
| Judge Alex =. Humphrey had
written letter which Senator
Stoll read, calling attention of the
Senate the fact that the budget
allowance reduces the board by
almost S5O0,0OO from the figures
Of the present fiscal year, and
that only by the exercise OF the
most grinding economy will II be
possible TO conduct the institu-
ton at all.
When Senator Simmons then
asked for an amendment to make /
an increase OF 100000, Senator
Daughcrty tried to prevent It's
consideration on the ground that
il was out OF order, but failed 10
gain his point. Senator Daugh- /
crty led the fight against the APP
preparation. and moved To put
the clincher against the S2OO,UOO
item.
When the vote was taken on
the $4,000 increase Senator, T
Garner and Dcmunbrun, who had /
opposed the 100000 item, chang (
ed and voted for il and Senator /
Tabor. who was absent when the I
