Senate Bill 70
Senate Bill No. IS introduced by
Senator Cotton of Valley and argu-
ments for its passage forcefully pre-
scented, met defeat in the senate. The
measure provided amendments to the
present state grazing law, making it
possible for one whose lease on state
lands has lapsed to secure renewal
of the lease on the same or other
grazing lands. Under the present law
it is practically impossible for per-
son not holding a lease of state graz
ing lands to secure one, and this
works distinct hardship on the small
stockgrower. The large stockgrower
on the other hand who constantly
keeps land leased has all the advan-
tage.
The roll call vote on the measure
in the senate is printed below. The
ones voting AYE" had the welfare of
the small stockman in mind. Those
voting mo" were for the interests of
the big boys" in the game.

A Record Low
The senate on Tuesday afternoon
Of this week. amply earned the so
Driquet of "'slaughterhouse" from the
viewpoint of labor in the state when
It killed eight bills of direct interest
TO the workers; all on unfavorable
reports and without, a, rec
ord vote on any of them. r.s .s5
The measures generally provided
or a 81 increase in the weekly COM
1ensation now paid to injured work
men, At the present time, the maxi
mum paid Except in exceptional
.ases where the injured workmen has
everal dependents in which cases it
S $40 weekly is SIS weekly. The
eason for the senate's action prob
.bly lies in the small additional cost {
o concerns like the Anaconda Copper !
lining Company for insurance OF :
line measures providing relief to in
ured workers, only one received a
avorable report from the committee.
This one (SB 1879 provided that arti-
icial limbs may be supplied to such
workers. as lose arms or legs while
working.
AS this is written, word has been
eceived that a companion bill to lib
, creating a separate department of
abor has been killed in the senate.
70 one can accuse the august body
f inconsistency.
