Thero was no objection nnd Lieu

Tho bill nuthorlzng tho $S0,000 hog

Tho proposition to ndvertlso Ne

given the snnctlon of tho lower liouso
when tho bill to create n state depart

voto of CO to 27.
When this bill was up In committeo
of tho wholo two weeks ago an effort
was made to tack on an nmendmont
appropriating $25,000 for tho work, but
this was voted down. Whon tho bill
reappeared tho amondment was in
cluded, and tho measuro might havo

that any ono hnd tried to slip anything

appropriation.
