expects to join the tire angela angels when be lie leaves this place for lie is not practicing his profession a as a very closely several times the members have requested a ore fire to be male made and it very cold either the tile watchman however is scarcely to be blamed bla for the temperature a in tha the council is so difficult to maintain one moment the business runs along so sluggishly eliat all begin to freeze and tile next moment things thin go arc are in a red liot hot slate state then again the genial watchman thinks they are makine makins it hot for somebody else and that ought tv tor serve all purposes ilia election bill baa han at last pawed and will ill now receive lve the governors attention it was introduced by mr bryan and has met with quite a little opposition it provides provi deFt for a anew new system of registering and balloting and anti would be a great improvement on the present manner of carrying on elections there is some dubiety among lie the members as to what ion it will receive at the executive office the tobacco bill lias has probably been lie the roost most hard liard fought bill in the assembly at the tile present session substitutes have been breser presented ted and adopted these have been amended and find finally the two houses stuck an amendment was inserted In aa as was a stated tilted at the time in TUB standard DARD providing

hie ills seller of tobacco to minors rather than loose it all and the bill passed the tile bill providing for street paving w which was passed in tire council but killed in the house was today to day re on a consideration reconsideration re of the vote and passed mr air stewart on the committee on militia created a little laughter today to day by reporting porting the bill introduced some time ago by mr ir kimball and recommend that it ba be pu put t on ita its passage during tire afternoon the council was toasted feasted on a lengthy veto of alie tit 0 free school bill on which BO so much

earo this method of distribution TIRS been much criticized arid w ich ap parent reason under its kolta 80 me of the tb most an r d we I 1 ay iy 1 counties ASES have paid ta tile trl tr 1 I school fund a less amount than they effis receive if tile only irregularity it ns effected arose in the fiS difference of tire is umbers of children compared rit 1 the amount of assessable property the tile objection I 1 to it would not be ro so serious for in such a case as to the territory it w winkl 0 il id merely make mace the torri territory torr a t tux a x district for schooling all tho th cill children but there ia is reason to 1 b that in many cases tha tire inequality b between 3 counties arises from unequal aa as seve mentS A requiring aass merits to be made at the full ill c sli all

piroa cli to equality ia IS obtained in I 1 the absence of equality in the tile assessments bet e an I 1 llie I 1 to counties I 1 suggest that section 2 of article I 1 bo be amended BO so as to provide in substance that no county having a population of or over as shown by the tire national census to be taken in juno june next shall receive in the apportionment tion ment of the territorial amida fund a larger amount than lua has been wen raised and paid by said paid county and that after otter an apportionment in its mada made tire amounts remaining of such territorial school fund undistributed shall bo be returned to the several counties by which such excess wai wa paid in dun duo proportion thereof and anti such payments hall lie be made to the treasurer of I 1 lie several conn counties tiem entitled thereto and by auch such treasurer paid to the school superintendents and by them appropriated annually to the several a school c hool districts of tho tile county it in the same manner and on the same limits as mothr school funds section 8 of article 2 relating to count county superintendent superintend enO should provide talat that before eute entering ring epou poll ills duties a superintendent of district schools must bo do commissioned by the gove governor anor becton 19 10 of the same article should brov provide de that tho the deputy superintendent e t 1 if f a appointed must bo be a registered yo voter ter bention 21 of article 3 provides to for r a it C county 0 U tt board of examiners the section fl n should on id provide that no person shall ba be eligible to serve as examiner who is not a re registered voter section 20 Y of article 6 cont contains allis this provision every male person of the tile age of 21 years or over who has been a resident e tit of t the b e school di district 8 triet for ninety days immediately preceding the day of election and who alio is is the parent of a child of school age residing in the district or w ho ito paid a territorial or county school tax in any such much district during the preceding year or who has been assessed for any territorial or county scho sello jl it tax in any ll 11 such ll 11 c it district tor for the year in which a any n y election is held shall be entitled to vote at any district election under the existing school law it is provided there shall bo be elected by the registered voters of the district three school trustees for each district etc and this law was in force at the tire time of tho tire passage by congress of what is popularly termed tho tile edmunds ejmunds EJ munds act the tile act bedoe o me would if approved sweep away the tile restriction which congress hai has deemed it necessary to place upon the exercise of the franchise at these those elections I 1 do not believe the time has corn com for such much action on the part of the tile governor and legislative assembly and arid therefore suggest ang zest that the provisions provision of the existing law be retained in thia this connection I 1 also suggest that some provision vision be made for chalmers ch challenges allers goo at be school 1 10 elections and to require that a person to be eligible aa as a trustee must be a registered voter section 33 of the same article should berovide that to entitle a person to vote he a must havia been a resident of the territory tor for six months and of the tire pibool district for thirty days davo I 1 it further r suggest that this sect section loil ilo bo placed at tile end of the tire or article 1 icle section 79 of ar article I 1 aclo XI seems to embrace a general revenue act and pr provides oides for the general territorial and slid county tax as well as a tax tor for school purposes I 1 cannot see N hy an act to establish a school septem should contain a general revenue law it seema seems to me to be more snore appropriate to leave ont of this act all such provisions and to provide for only special school taxes in districts and leave a general genoret revenue act to be considered on its own merits this change in section I 1 may require suitable changes in section 81 of the tire same article section 83 article XII relates to he the special school tax the first nineteen lines of this beet ion except BO so tar far as they relate to tile rate we of tax to be he levied are fully covered by section 33 3 ot of article V and with if alie Is exception stated should be stricken out I 1 suggest that section of article XV relating to schools in cities bo be made to provide that the election shall be held on the tile day lay of the general ele election the first monday of august annually this will obviate aviate the necessity for two elections within thi thirty ty days lays this will require that sect section 1 0 u 6 be amended so as to provide f for 0 r notice of election etc in the same manner as aarfor for the tile general election and suitable |
