and the other is Canadian Thistle
which is just beginning to show in a
few places. When bad weeds first
begin to appear, then is the time to
do effective work. 1t is too late when
they have spread all W. This bill
was a large one and was not intro
duced until the very last. 1t needed
too many changes to make it pass
able. Therefore it was decided that it
be killed in the committee and save
the expense of printing the bill.
Senate Bill No. 3S, passed. This
bill relates to the new registration
fees to be changed according to the

bill relates to the classification and
basis upon which taxes shall be i'm
posed upon the shares of National

Bills No. 81 and 81, passed. Title
of Bill reads as follows: An act ma
king it unlawful to drive a motor We
hicle on the highways of this State
while intoxicated or under the in
fluence of intoxicating liquor or any
drug or narcotic; Defining certain Of

Senate Bill No. II, passed. A bill
for an act entitled: An act provid-
ing for the storage of grain on farms
on or near railroad right-of-ways and
other suitable places making provis-
ion regulating said storage, provid-
ing for the issuance of negotiable
warehouse receipts on grain stored
herein, providing for the supervision
and regulation of said storage, dele
eating authority under the provis-
ions of the act and providing for gen.
eral regulations and funds to carry
out the provisions of this act and
providing penalties for violence of
this act. The chief arguments in
favor of Senate Bill No. AZ, it tends
towards holding and storing the
wheat on the farms, thus relieving To-

he Fall congestion. Should tend ul-
timately towards a more uniform and
higher market, would be of special
benefit to those farmers living some
distance from market as it would n

provisions Of this act, pay off their
pressing expenses, complete their
necessary Fall work and deliver
their grain to the shipping point dur

would invariably give them more
money for their produce.
Last but not least, quite naturally
many people are concerned and are
asking questions about the gasoline
tax, what roads to be built with the
extra two cent levy etc. When the
bill came up for consideration asking
for an additional two cents per gallon
an effort was made to have one cent

ty. This amendment of the bill did
not receive very strong support. The
chief arguments against such re-
fund were that the Counties would
