Mr. Hixon's bill to take the control of
the agricultural college away from the
university regents and place it in charge
of a board to be known as the agricultural
college board, came up in the senate on the
9th. The bill is similar to the one killed
two years ago. Ito was a special order in
committee of the whole. It was heartily op
posed by Senators Eaton and Clark, but
on final vote was recommended to P9.S3 hy
e, vote of 21 to 16. This result was a surprise
to the friends of the measure. The anti
pool selling bill bobbed up again
only to be sent back to the Ramsey coun
ty delegt on for amendments. Pope's
bill designed to prevent the manufacture
of paper railroads was passed. The Sen
ate judiciary committee decided to rec
ommend for passage the bill forfeiting the
land grants of the Duluth & W innipeg
railroad. The following house bills were
passed To authorize the village of Mon
ticello to issue bonds to purchase an
electric light plant To amend section 27,
chapter 36, General Statutes, relating to
the issue of school district bonds To con
firm certain deeds given by the regents of
the state university To fix the amount of
wages of laborers which shall be exempt
from process To repeal the act abolishing
the act relating to garnishment as applied
to the wages of workingmen.
