Senate Kills The Bill On Appointive Officers
Helena February 8. The gambling bill was on general orders for consideration but was deferred after a public demand. Gambling houses in Helena shut down at noon per sheriff orders, and the measure was postponed to Friday afternoon. The house favorably reported the initiative and referendum bill with amendments, altering petition thresholds and processes for initiative and referendum. The fellow servant bill for mines and smelters sparked debate over mining company liability for worker injuries, with opponents warning of crippling industry. The appropriations committee amended dairy tuberculosis claims, some reduced, some accepted, and sheriff travel expense bills were debated with mixed support. The session moves to continued discussion on Page Two.
