Shrap clashes and divisions on
many questions again featured the
nate. The advent Of Rep. Dell
Patterson, Nonpartisan, who has

alanding roll-call on numerous ques-

Among other bills killed, the
house put to sleep Rep. Trubshaw's
bin to permit cities to levy tax
for fund with which to provide
musical concerts.
Rep. Dell Patterson, who recently
returned to the house after con-
yalacing from an attack of typhoid
fever, continued to inject fire into
consideration Of almost every move
in the house. He began by object
ing to an appropriation of $4,000
for indemnity of owners of horses
lilled because of CHAMBERS and
durene.
Debate Appropriation
They don't have CHAMBERS any
more, ''vehemently declared Rep.
Patterson, after Rep. Watt, chair
man of the appropriations commit
tee, moved that the house concur in
The favorable report Of the Nappro-
priations committee.
Rep. Larkin, also a Nonpartisan,
directed the statement of Mr.. Pat
torson, saying there had been CLAN
ders in Eddy county and he knew of
cne man who lost 20 horses.
Rep. Watt said the appropriation
was cut $4,000 from that of the
previous biennium.
Rep. Patterson, still objecting, de-
Jared you're enacting bill so peo-
plc will let their horses die of CLAN
ders to get the indemnity.
"Pd like to ask the gentleman, if
he knows of any farmer who has de-
frauded the state?" queried Rep
Twichell, Cass county.
II can't say that do, replied Rep.
Patterson.
"Well, said Rep. Twichell. "Isn't
the gentleman unduly excited.
don't anticipate that the farmers of
the state are going to try to have
their shorses contract CHAMBERS in or
der to collect from the state.
II hope" said Rep. Maddox, Non
partisan, ''that the motion of Mr.
Patterson Ito refer the billy will
not prevail, as 1 believe the matter
was gone into thoroughly in the APP
preparations committee" Rep. Vo-
gel declared the minority was not
. necessarily against appropriation
bills but wanted detailed informa-
ton.
Rep. Patterson also objected t.
the appropriation of $4,000 recon.

Rep. Patterson was particularly
vehement against the provision OF

tion animals by veterinarians, de-
claring the state ought to teach the
owners to inspect the cattle.

Twichell. ut don't have anything
