Wi v should a mem ber receive a pass after he becomes such, wbeu the courtesy(?) had not been extended to him before? Is a a pass a bribe? Humph! How can tbe speaker of ihe house and president pro tem of the senate receive $3 e^ch per day for presid ing over those houses,when the con stitution expressly limits their com pensation to per diem aud mileage? Will Speaker Rouse or President Pro Tem Jennings please explain? A bill has passed the house pro viding a bounty on gray wolves of $5 on coyotes *2 and on wild cats #1. Also a bill to compel dealers to put gasolin • and benzine in red cans as a precaution. Also a bid by our Mr. Snelser, increasing the maxi mum levy for road tax from 2 to 10 mills, which passed with only 0 dis senting votes. These bills are of especial interest to our readers.
