Joint Committee to Adjust Number
of Bills.
Pierre.—The bitter contest *over
printing bills of the last legislative
session showed its teeth again Friday
in an innocent looking resolution in
creasing the number of house bills
printed for distribution from 750 to
10,000 and another providing for extra
house journals. Before it got far on
its road a dozen members—Ruckman,
Withee, Johnson of Spink, Benson
Patterson and otherSs—were taking
part. The final result was the adop
tion of an amendment for a joint, com
mittee to adjust the number of bills
printed between the house and senate.
The resolution fixing pay days start
ed a lot of discussion as to just when
the members might be absent on a
recess. The date of January 22 as the
first recess was objected to, indicat
ing that the expectation of the mem
bers is to take their recess on that
date. The whole matter finally went
over to a special committee after all
who desired had discussed it.
The house adopted a resolution by
Quickstad setting the fortieth day as
the last for receiving general bills
and the forty-fifth day as the last for
committee bills, which is the earliest
"closing" date ever fixed.
Among the senate bills Friday was
one by Hagen, of Beadle, which gives
cities which have adopted a commis
sion form of government the right
to back up and again adopt the coun
cil form if so desired by- a majority
of the voters of their city.
Widlong presented a bill in the
house fixing the liability of townships
and counties for damages by defective
bridges, dividing the responsibility on
the line between structures built by
the different subdivisions.
The senate accepted two new bills
and several committees were an
nounced, the chairman of which are:
Health, Miller cities under commis
sion, Printup education, Whitt.emore
agriculture, Lincoln mines and min
ing, May charitable institutions, Mor
ris.
The record of quitting a legislative
job after securing an appointment
goes to J. M. Lork, of Clark county,
who has set a precedent in that line.
He started as an applicant for house
bill clerk and, failing in that finally
took a committee clerkship, but
changed his mind before beginning
work and has gone home.
An effort will be made to change
the ballot form for constitutional
amendments and referred laws. so as
to give the. voter a concise statement
of what he is voting on on the face
of the ballot, instead of the vague
provisions which were given in the
last election.
