of these was a right OF search with
out warrant, These matters will all
be attended TO by the amendments
offered In the house or which will be
offered in the senate next week. 80
that one OF the things which the as
semhly will be remembered for IL
this really fine piece OF work. In
previous sessions never less than a
hundred bills have been put into each
house concerning fish and game laws,
Many of these have been local and
naturally the large majority OF them
have been defeated each year. sena-
tor George i, Mclean, when COVER
nor, and often since, has continually
called attention to this large amount
of unnecessary proposed legislation.
Senator Mclean was always greatly
interested in hunting and fishing and
since he has been in Washington has
been one of the hest friends OF con-
scrVation.
School Laws.
The bill has passed both houses
and will undoubtedly be approved by
the governor raising n commission TO
codify tho school laws aud 10 simpli-
fy and make suggestions or the
changes to he acted upon by the next
general assembly, This commission
will consist of the Lieutenant. governor.
Hiram Bingham, the speaker Of the
house, Judge Nickerson who will
serve, although appointed 10 the
bench, member of the senate, two |
members OF the house. two laymen
which five shall be named by the
governor and one appointee OF the
state board of education. II is OK
'ected that Mr.. Meredith. the sccre.
airy OF the state boa" OF education
will be appointed by the board to be
member of the commission, for
here is every desire on the part of
he hackers of this bill to work IN
harmony with the state board.
Highway Matters
The committee on roails, bridges
nd rivers has not reported a bill
'roviding for an advisory commits
ion of three to act with the road
commissioner. Governor Templeton
as appointed John A. Macdonald,
equity commissioner OF motor We
iclcs. to succeed Commissioner Ben
EFT. The sentiment in the committee
n roads. bridges and rivers is strong
opposed to commission of three I
D act in an advisory capacity. 1t is
robable that no such bill will be re-
orted. The committee held hearings
n the proposed change and the two
eople who favored it were Colonel
-rthur +. Ellis and Colonel Howard |
;. Durham, respectively chairmen of
he judiciary and railroads commit |
aes. The greater sentiment at the |
caring was for a single commits
Toner and it is probable that a re-
ort will come in next week rejecting |
his bill. /
State Purchasing Agent.
The judiciary committee has not |
ct put in a report on the state pur-
hasing agent. This office was rec |
by the governor in his |
Inaugural address, There has been |
ONE sentiment for the appointment
someone to be connected with the
Office who will keep in
ouch with prices of commodities and Il
dVise the different institutions /
the state. Some such bill L
lay be reported this coming week, Il
ut this is probably as far as the /
judiciary committee will care to go
l this regard and there is some doubt
hat the judiciary committee will
ven make this recommendation.
here has been a great difference of
nd "
this position, various commissions /
the state opposing it. III
Automobile Laws. II
Few changes will be made in the
automobile laws. These will he re- II
orted this coming week. The changes Il
e made on recommendation of Com II
issioner Stoeckel and his assistant, L
1hn A. Macdonald, who becomes .
ighway commissioner on the first of
