SENATE KILLS NEPOTISM BILL, MINE LAW PLAN Upper House Divides on| Relative Hire in Pub- | lic Office Measure | | Dividing four to four, the Terri- torial Senate today defeated the Roden nepotism bill which would have prohibited the hiri tives by i the measure were Brunelle, De\m(' Campbell and Frawley. Supporting it were Roden, Hess, Walker and | Powers. House bill 43, which would have | repealed the present law relative | to the right to use water incident | to location of mining claims, also was defeated by the Senate. The existing statute gives the first locator prior right to water for mining purposes.

It would have appropriated $800 to Isenmenger. Senator Roden brought in an- other bill today in line with several he has introduced. This measure would prohibit officers or em-| ployees of the Territory or of any legal subdivision getting salaries of $150 a month or more from taking any additional employment for compensation.
