against the resolution.

Of course, the resolution was voted
down overwhelmingly, but Stockwell
had accomplished his purpose-that
of drawing public attention to prac-
tice which he considers an evil-a
growing evil which should be stamped
out-an evil wasteful of the taxpay-
ers' money
The second outbreak of hostilities
came Thursday afternoon, when Rep
resentative Youngdahl, author of a
bill to repeal the famous Brooks-Cole-
man law, moved that this measure be
recalled from the committee on gen.
eral legislation and referred to the
committee on cities of the first class,
his contention being that it is st.
Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth which
are chiefly interested in this street
railway question. The debate which
followed was exceedingly bitter, with
Norton, Dilley and other conserva-
tives opposing the motion, and sew
eral radicals from the cities, rein
forced by a few others from there,
backing up Youngdahl. One hundred
and twenty-six members voted on the
roll call-half for, the other against,
so the motion was lost. 1t is ex-
pected that the bill will be given an
unfavorable report by the committee
on general legislation, but the minori-
ty members will bring in dissenting
report and the fight will break on the
floor of the house, and it is not i'm
probable that the bill will go through,
for after the recent raise in the street
car fares in the twin cities there is a
rising tide Of resentment against the
Brooks-Coleman act, which took the
control of the street railway from the
municipalities and placed it in the
hands of the state railroad and ware
house commission. AS the vote on
the Youngdahl motion is an impor-
tant test vote, I'll publish the roll
call.

There haven't been any important
developments in the fight between the
Big Three and the senate finance COM
mittee the past week, nor between the
University and the Big Three. The
senate proceedings have been very
quiet and uninteresting, with no i'm
portant test votes. Senator Rockne is
preparing for big fight in behalf OF
the states wards in the state institu-
tions and will in all likelihood have
the backing of the senate finance COM
nittee and a majority Of the senate
membership.
On motion of o. K. DAZZLE of Spring
Grove, an administration floor leader,
the house remained in session both
Friday and Saturday, but as today is
legal holiday, it took recess from
Saturday to Wednesday, with commit
tee meetings scheduled for tomorrow.
That was good procedure. The SEN
ate adjourned from Friday to Monday.
