McDougall, Frlborg, Lawson, Williamson
and Northrup, while the house conferees
are Longstaff, Trumm, t'ralg, Allen and

The house ground out laws providing pen

deficiency tax levy of 1 mill on the dollar;
providing for organization of societies to
prevent cruelty to animals, and a number
of minor laws. By some means the house
bill passed yesterday' mWrntng to tax min

this morning, which made it too late to
get through that body. In line with tht

the house had "thrown the first bill through

this one should not follow, which It did.
Several days ago the senate adopted a
