This bill is copied after the one passed by the Missouri legislature and is in full as follows: Section 1. or employed for counsel or agent by any person, firm, corporation cor association to promote or oppose directly or indirectly the passage of bills or resolutions by either house or to promote or oppose executive approval cf such bills, shall, in each and every year, before any service is entered upon in pro- moting or opposing such legislation, file in the office of the secretary of state a writing subscribed by such counsel or agent stating the name or names of the person or persons, firm or firms, corporation or corporations, association or associations, by whom or on wnose behalf he is retained or employed, together with a brief des- cription of the legislation in refer- ence to which such service is to be rendered. No notice so filed shall be valid for more than thirty days after the adjournment of the session of the legislature held in the year in whicn the same is filed. of the secretary of state to provide a docket, to be known as the docket of legislative appearances, with appro- priate blanks and indices, and to forthwith enter therein the names of the counsel and agents so retained or employed and of the persons, firms, corporations or associations retaining or employing them, togeth- er with a brief description of the legislation in reference to which the service is to be rendered, which docket shall be open to public in- spection. Upon termination of such employment the fact of such termin- ation, with the date thereof, may be entered by direction of either such counsel or agent of the employer. No person, firm, corporation or association shall retain or employ any person to promote or oppose legislation for compensation con- tingent in whole or in part upon the passage or defeat of any legislative measure or measures. NO person shall for compensation engage in promoting or opposing legislation except upon appearance entered in accordance with the foregoing pro- visions of this section. And no per- son shall except any such employ- ment or render any such service for compensation contingent upon the passage or defeat of any legislative measure or measures. It shall be the duty of every per- son, firm, corporation or association within two months after the ad- journment of the legislature to file in the office of the secretary of state an itemized statement verified by oath of such person, or in case of a firm or a member thereof or in case of a domestic corporation or associ- ation of an officer thereof, or in case of a foreign corporation or associa- tion of an officer or agent thereof, showing in detail all expenses paid, incurred or promised directly or i directly in connection with the legi: lation pending at the last previous session, with the names of the payee and the amount paid each, including all disbursements paid, incurred or Every person recainedI compensation as| It shall be he duty | promised to counsel or agen specifying the nature of said lagtu— lation and the interest of the person, firm, corporation or association therein. The provisions, however, of this section requiring docket entries shall not apply to duly accredited counsel or agents of counties, cities, towns villages, public boards and:public in- stitutions. 'And the provisions here- of shall not be construed as‘effecting professional services in drafumg bills or in advising clients and in render- ing opinions as to the construction and effect of proposed or pending legislation where such professional service is not otherwise connected with legislative action. Every person, every member ot a firm, and every association or corpor- ation violating any provision of this section and every person causing or participating in a violation thereor shall be punisaed by imprisonment, in case of an individual, in the peni- tentiary for a term of two years or in the county jail for not more than one year or by a fine not more than one thousand dollars, or ‘by ‘both such fine and imprisonment, and, in case of an association or corporation, by a fine not more than one thous- and dollars. And in addition to the penalties hereinbefore imposed, any torpora- tion or association failing to file the statement of legislative expenses within the time required shall forfeit to the people of the state tne sum of one hundred dollars per day for each day after the expiration or tne two months witnin such statement is re- quired to be filed, to be recovered in an action brought by the ‘attorney general. Provided, however, that this act shall not be construed to apply to any person whose services consist ! wholly in appearing before commit- tees of the house and senate for the purpose of explaining or arguing for or against the passage of or ac- n upon any bill, resolution . or » matter then pending before Nor shall the pro- c said committee. | visions of this act apply to any citi- | zen or residnt of any legislative dis- trict or senatorial district in talking publicly or privately with a member ste. |Of the General Assembly from such district upon any subject. Section 2. It -shall be unlawful for any ‘person employed for a pe- cuniary consideration to act as legis- lative counsel or legislative agent for any person, corporation or assoc- iation, to go upon the floor of either house of the legislature, reserved for the members thereof while in ses- sion, except upon the invitation of such house. Section 3. Any person violating the provisions of Section 2 shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof, shall be punished by imprisonment in the county jail not less than ten days nor more than twelve months, and by a fine of not less than one hundred dollars nor more than five hundred dollars. The adoption of such a measure as this would make impossible paid lobbyists for the brewery interests or the steel trust of any other power- ful clique that makes it a practice to employ the sharpest of men to in- fluence the lawmakers. At the same time it would not remove the liberty for open and free discussion before all committees. I WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY ' Why February Is Short. February has only twenty-eight days so that we won’t have to wait so long for St. Patrick’s day. , A Suggestion. The St. Paul Pioneer Press is bat- tling valiantly for reapportionment If that newspaper wants to do some- thing really practical, let it get the two St. Paul Senators, Handlan and Van Hoven, to get in line for reap- portionment.—Minneapolis Journal. Blushes for Our Legislature. | It is coming out more and more that the brewers are fighting reap- portionment for life. Their hand is plainly seen everywhere and it is predicted that many of the undecid- ed men will become so irrate over this dictation that they will lalid in the county option camp. But then the same bunch is fight- ing county option of course. It is with blushes of shame that Minnesota views a majority of her | “Honorable” legislatores.—Bagley Clearwater Crystal. i Yes, And Then There is H. H. Dunn. According to the newspaper corre- spondents at the state capital, al- though early to begin the singling out of the gubernatorial timber, there is no question but that Lieu- tenant Governor S. Y. Gordon is a candidate for the Republican nom- ination before the next convention, and the fact that Robert C. Dunn, who is carrying all before him in the House, is not denied by anyone except himself.— Brainerd Tribune. is a candidate, Sees The New Light. The Bemidji Pioneer, in a' well written editorial throws a new light on the opposition to reapportion- ment in referring to the adverse position taken on tne quesiion oy the ‘Attorney General. The Pioneer hints that the Attor- ney General is from the southern part of the state and that it is barely posible that this might have some- thing to do with his recent pub- lished opinion that reapportionment can be made two years hence ds well as now when the constitution plainly provides that reapportion- ment shall be made only after a cen~ sus has been taken.—Bagley Clear- water Crystal.

He could stand it no longer ‘and one ‘morning ‘he called her in to the dining room. “Confound it, you. I want my meals cooked better hereafter or out of the door you'go. 1 don't propose to pay you $30 a ‘month to burn my meals for me.” “Look ‘a-here,” retorted Maria. “Don’t you talk that ‘a-way to me.

Several species of rhinoceroses, now extinct and only found in a ‘fossil state, used to exist which had no horns at all. The name, meaning as it does “horned nose,” ‘is rather a ‘misnomer in their case. Several kinds of rhinoc- eroses in Africa have two horns, one behind ‘the other, but the extinct rhi- noceros, known ‘as the dyceratherium, had a pair of horns on its nose side by side. .

The cry of the loon is one of the strangest, weirdest sounds in nature. Those who have heard it can scarcely wonder that it has so often been woven into song and legend. Alblood red ring hung round the'moon, Hung rounid the moon. ‘Ah, me! A, me! I heard ‘the ‘piping of the loon, Awounded-loon. = Ah, sme! And yet the eagle feathers rare 1, trembling, wove in my brave's hair. Almost all writers who have attempt- €d to describe'the cry of this bird have likenéd it to unmirthful laughter. Thus Mr. Vernon Bailey, speaking of the -sound, describes it as follows: “Only on the lonely lake in the heart of the woodsdo you get the startling thrill of the loon’s wild cry—one clear, piercing note or a long, quavering, de- moniacal laugh'that to the timid sug- gests a herd of screaming punthers:" Four Kinds of Liars. The late Sir Frederick Bramwell was famous both as a witness and arbi- trator in engineering disputes. It is re- called that his brother, the late Lord Justice Bramwell, on giving advice to a young barrister told him to be care- ful of four kinds of witnesses—first, of the liar; second, of the liar who could only be adequately described by the aid of a powerful adjective; third, of the expert witness, and, finally, of “my brother Fred.” Extra Hazardous.
