ROCKNE BILL KILLED House Votes Down Railroad Stock Issue Measure. BATTLE WAS HARD FOUGHT While the Measure Was a Popular One in the House, Some Members Con- cluded There Was 'no Demand for Its Passage. St. Paul, April 12.—The Rockne bill for the regulation of railroad stock and bond issues failed of passage when it was put to a vote in the house. There were 57 votes against the bill and 47 for it. The vote was taken af- ter a long and earnest discussion and the battle was one of the hardest fought in years. As was stated on the floor of the house, the measure was a popular one, as are most of the measures directed against corporations, but the members of the house concluded that there is no valid demand for the passage of the bill, that it is uncalled for and unwise because it would hamper the building and improvement of railroads in the state, and unjust because it would af- fect only the roads that have their home in the state. During the discus- sion it was pointed out that the Great Northern and the Soo line, besides some local roads in the northern part, are the only roads that are organized as Minnesota roads. The Northern Pacific, Northwestern, Milwaukee, Great Western, Minneapolis and St. Louis and the other roads in the state are organized in some other state. This bill provided that before any railroad company issues any stocks or bonds, either on original organization or increase, it must make application to the railroad and warehouse com- mission and secure its approval. The commission must give a hearing, and if it finds that the company has com- plied with the laws of the state and the issue is warranted it is to allow the issue. If it refuses the applica- tion, the railroad may appeal, but the court may reverse the order only if the order 1s confiscatory or in some manner a denial of the right of the corporation or a denial of justice. The word “confiscatory” was one of the things objected to by the constitution- al lawyers, and on Mr. Rockne's mo- tion this was stricken out. The bill re- enacted the present statute that no stocks or bonds should be issued be- low par. Drawn by the Attorney eGneral. The bill was drawn by the attorney general and was intended to overcome the defects of the present law, which was recently declared unconstitutional because it was a delegation of legisla: tive powers to the railroad commis- sion. The senate committee on general legislation voted to report for indefi- nite postponement Representative Stoke’s bill providing for the licensing of clarivoyants, trance mediums, palm- ists and fortune tellers. The same committee also recommended the same action with reference to the More bill prohibiting junk dealers, pawn brokers or second-hand dealers from purchasing or receiving me- chanics’ tools as security for money. The sheriff’s salary bill, introduced in the house by F. T. White of Elk River, was approved in the committee of the wnole. The bill does not relate to counties having a population of 25, 000 or over or to counties having 2,500 square miles of territory, but in the other counties the sheriffs are placed on a straight salary instead of a fee basis. Counties having less than 10, 000 inhabitants must pay their sher- iffs a salary of $800 and for each addi- tional 5,000 inhabitants an additional $100, so that sheriffs in counties of 30,000 to 35,000 get $1,300. They are to be allowed their actual expenses. For Indefinite Postponement. The house appropriations committee reported the semi-centennial bill for indefinite postponement. The other two state fair bills, one providing an appropriation of $150,000, and the oth- er tfor a loan of $250,000 for the pur- chase of land and improvement of the state fair grounds, were reported for passage. ° The senate passed the bill raising the salaries of the judges of the su- preme court and the district courts as amended by the house. The bill now provides for a salary of $7,000 a year for the judges of the supreme court, a raise of $2,000, and $4,200 for, the judges of the district court, a raise of $700. ‘The district judges of Ramsey, Hennepin and St. Louis counties will receive also $1,500 additional from the counties. A bili making it the duty of each vil- lage, township and county to cut and destroy brush and weeds on the pub- lic highways under its jurisdiction: for a distance of not less than one rod:on | each side of the traveled portion of the highway was introduced by Senator $. A. Nelson of Lanesboro. Minnesota will not be represented al the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposi- tion at Seattle in 1909. The senate killed the bill appropriating $25,000 for providing a state exhibit at the ex- vosition by adonting by a vote of 32 to 18 the report of the minority of the finance commitiee recommending the indefinite postponement of the bill. The bill authorizing the Minnesota Canal and Power company to divert the waters of the St. Louis river throngh a canal to Duluth for the pur- rate of the Bank of England has been reduced from 5 to 414 per cent in ac- cordance with expectations. The plethora of money in the market and the large influx of gold into the Bank of England during the past week made the reduction a practical cer- tainty. Victim Dies of Wound.
