Montana Senate debates lower interest rate and land office powers
The Montana legislature sees a clash over a 10 percent interest cap with senators Brower and O Shea backing lower rates and Mason's House Bill 10. Debate centers on restoring land board powers over land office assistants, with Junod seeking to revert authority to the board and the senate ultimately killing the measure. Rep Blodgett opposes a $2 marriage license fee, urging free weddings, while a bill to abolish the game warden faces opposition from the fish and game commission and sportsmen. Senator O Shea returns from Washington amid Farm Loan Bank speculation, as press scrutiny grows over legislative coverage by the Missoulian.
