FAST ALBANY QUINTET
Put One Over on Confident Team.
Final Score Was SO to %.

OF all the hard fought and fast
games of basket ball played on the
Dawson court this year the game
with Albany Friday night caps the
list. Albany came over confident of
winning, but instead were showed I'M
der by 1922 score. Albany scored
first and held the lead for several
minutes, but soon the ball from the
hands of Wilkinson and Bridges at
forward for Dawson began to find the
basket with wonderful regularity.
Both teams played nice variety Of
ball. Riley, of Albany, played good
game for the visitors. The first half
ended with Dawson in the lead 23-ll.
In the second half Albany came back
with vicious attack which livened
things up considerably, but the Daw-
son team was able to hold its own
throughout the remainder OF the
game, the final score being 1922.

but without success in all but
one or two instances, and Monday
morning a big fight broke out
over the bill in the senate. The
temperance committee of that
body had already considered it
and reported it back for passage,
with the request that it be made
a special order in a few days.
This made the liberals very
hot. They charged that the
committee was resorting to sharp
practices and demanded that the
bill should be re-referred to the
committee and given proper

Brooks-Coleman Bill STAYS.

The Brooks-Coleman street rail-
way act, which has been so gen
orally denounced all over Mime
sofa during the past two years,
will stay on the statute books of
the state for at least two more
years, for the house killed all of
the repeal bills Thursday after
noon. At the same time the Pear.
son-Switzer bill, making the twin
cities one street railway zone, was
also put to death, much to the re-
gret Of st. Paul people. especially

district. who used to be able to

but must now. as a result of the

A fierce debate broke out over
the street railway bills Thursday
when Rep. Barnard of Duluth
moved that they be made a spec
ial order for next Tuesday after
noon. Rep, 7. H. Girling of Rob

The house chewed the rag for
about FIVE hours on the motor
vehicle license tax bill Monday
and finally passed it by vote of
80 to Is. In so doing it passed
the buck" to the senate, for the
house leaders admitted that it
is a very poorly constructed bill,
badly out of proportion and un-
just in some of it's provisions. 1t
was not a good bill when submit
ted to the house yesterday morn
ing, but it was much worse after
a large number of amendments
had been adopted. The trouble
in connection with this bill is that
the committee, which had it
under consideration. has been
divided into two factions all
winter and accomplished little or
nothing. The bill should have
been presented to the house a
month ago. thereby giving the
two houses ample time to revise
it.
Rep. F. A. Green of Marshall
county, chairman of the motor
vehicles committee, aimed to put
through a bill that would yield an
income to the state of about ST.
100000 per year, as against So
100000, the receipts from the
law now in force After the
amendments placed upon it by
the house, however, it is doubt
full whether the income will ex-
ceed S6,0O0,OOO. The tax on old
Fords was reduced from $12 to
$40. That on new higher priced
cars was raised one half per cent,
while the minimum tax on trucks
and busses was given a nice boost.
Under the present law there is
no reduction in the tax on a car
for three years; the proposed law
cuts the tax ten per cent each
year, with the result that the
new tax, while higher on new
machines, is lower on old ones.
