The Examiner retracts a previous claim that insane asylum costs were 95 cents a day, stating the proper rate has been 65 cents daily since Gov. Smith's second year. It supports state ownership but cites constitutional limits and urges legislative steps toward eventual state control.
The Beaverhead county newspaper notes the defeat of Representative Huntington of Carbon county's bill allowing out of state printing contracts. It argues local Montana printing keeps tax money in state circulation, supports Montana labor, and avoids delays during elections. The piece defends The Examiner and criticizes the Tribune while praising Col. Decker and Selway's legislative work.
The Examiner notes the beaverhead representative and others helped push Senator White’s bond bill through the lower house for early passage. It praises the lawmakers and contrasts Democratic coverage with The Tribune's response, while acknowledging fair-credit stance. The Tribune is accused of bias and neglecting praise for GOP efforts.
Governor Al Toole signed Senator White's bill authorizing issuance of 75000 dollars in bonds to construct and equip the main building of the State Normal College. The measure is described as the first important bill to become law besides the typical appropriations and fellow servant law.
The measure advanced with no opposition and passed both chambers. Senator White and Lieut Governor Norris aided the Senate maneuvering while Representatives Decker and Selway were instrumental in the House. Admirals Schley referenced, the group earned the people's thanks for the swift enactment.
The article notes Representatives Decker and Selway deserve thanks for backing the initiative and referendum bill. It failed to gain the two thirds needed for constitution amendment submission despite an overwhelming majority, with fourteen Republicans joining to fulfill a bipartisan pledge.
The Examiner thanks Mrs. Laura EK Howey for Vol V of Contributions of the Historical Society of Montana. The volume is richly illustrated, among the best issued, and contains extensive historic material valuable to the state and beneficial for future generations.
