his county some 500 electors signed
petitions for the workmen's compen-
sation bill and that within few days
after the petitions had been filed, six
Representatives Of big corporations
were in the county inducing signers
to repudiate their vote. Lincoln of
Flathead told Of = similar situation in
his county, in which large number of
names were withdrawn. Fairgrieves
sad that the bill was measure pre-

labor. Another prolonged debate took
place over H. B. ZIG by Smith and
Nagle of Lewis and Clark, providing
that jury fees and mileage be exempt
from attachment. The bill was finally
recommended for passage.

imposing more burdens on the tax

Home Without a Mother" motto, we
would supplant it with "What is Home
without Federal Agent?" Ayes
