CHEYENNE, Feb. 17.— The lower house Wednesday budget bill, which re! which had been on the measure to concur in senate amendments to ‘the amendments restored to the bill $158,000 cut out by the lower house. A conference ‘was requested and Underwood, Mercer and Stevenson were appointed to represent the house. One item, thet appropriating $100,- 900 for the extension division of the University of Wyoming, appeared to be the chief bone of budget bill con- tention between the two houses. ‘When the house received the bill as amended by the senate disposition of many in the lower body appeared to be to accept the senate amendments with the exception of that. restoring the extension work appropriation to its original figure, $100,000. The house cut $25,000 from the original appro- priation before sending the bill to the senate and. the senate put the $25,- 000 back.. ‘There appears to be little if any opposition in the house to ac- ceptance of the senate amendments restoring $25,000 to the university building fund and $15,000 to the voca- tional education fund. An, “insur- gent” tendency is still working in sev- and there may yet be interesting budget developments.

CHEYENNE; Feb. 17.—Regarding with suspicion that a filibuster might be in progress, the Wyoming house ‘Wednesday, afternoon refused to eith: er to recommit to the) committee of the whole or to permit to lie"over one day on second reading file wi prefudice Senate 107, the legislative reapportionment measure under the provisions of which’ Natrona county will gain one senator and three rep- resentatives, Lincoln county lose one senator and one representative and several other counties either gain or lose a representative. The house by a decisive majority ordered tho Dill engrossed for third reading and it ‘was passed today. ‘ The “éffort to recammit the bill or to' have it lay over was begun by Representative Reynolds of Lincoln county, who later was supported by other members of that county's dele- gation. After the house's decision had been reached the belated explana- tion was made that the only motive of the Lincoln countyites: in seeking delay. was that they might ‘have op- portunity to present an amendment eliminating the provision for reduc- tion of ‘Lincoln county’s representa- tion. ‘The effort at delay previous- ly had been strenuously opposed by Representatives Free and Frisby of Natrona county, Representative Story of Sheridan county and several oth- ers. An attempt by ~Representative Franzen of Platte county to amend the bill by increasing the basis of rep- resentative representation from each 3,250 inhabitants, to-each 3,750 inhab- itants was voted down. The amend- ment,. Franzen. “would result in the size of the house being re- ced from, its present mi 4, to 51, instead of being increased, as by the bill in its amended form, to 60. The decrease, he argued, was ‘desirable both from the viewpoint of ‘economy and that of preventing over- crowding of the ‘already crowded hall of representatives by the placing therein of six additional desks.

The meas- ure was approved for passage by the committee of the whole senate Wed- nesday after an animated debate in which proponents far outnumbered opponents. ————>___ MARRIAGE LICENSE.
