IF SOME grand jury would only get the rest of our United States senators perhaps the United States government could begin to do business. St. Paul, March 15—G. E. Perley’s bill, making the use of free text books by the public schools of the staite com- pulsory, under pain of being denied state aid, was killed in the house Tues- day. In committee of the whole, the bill was orderéd indefinitely postponed. The vote was 55 to 31. Because of the lack of five votes, J. A. Anderegg’s bill to allow the con- solidation of rural schools, went to the wall. While the opposition only had twenty-five votes to. its credit, all Mr. Andregg could raise was fifty-five votes and he needed sixty to pass it. He gave notice that he would move to reconsider. ‘The bill from the cummittee on pub- lic health, providing for the reimburse- ment of personal suffering the loss of live stock, condemned because Of in- fectious diseases, passed. 7 “The end of the clash between the riles committee and the house oecur- red when the committee reported out intact P.
