Harper bills passed on insurance book production penalties and an inspector for insurance law infractions. Additional senate bills set railcar automatic couplers, dog tax collection, accident report restrictions in court, township road districts with levied taxes, and minimum 40 dollar monthly country teacher salaries. House passed Aiken tax bill to raise Dow Tax from 350 to 1000, with fierce debate and a rejected compromise of 500. Springfield race riots cited to justify higher taxes. House also backed Freiner’s broad rail haul enforcement.
