The pa«s question is the leading
legislative topic. 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.
