Legislative session notes reveal friction and reforms
The record describes tense night sessions with many absentees, a long adjournment, and disrupted committee work. Campbell's building loan bill advances in the Senate as meat inspector, eight hour smelter work, and Idaho Montana boundary surveys pass at third reading. The reform school probe report is pending.
Bills Amended in House and Senate Action Reported
The article notes amendments to a bill abolishing the circle at the top and restoring the ballot near the 1894 form. It covers related bills on mortgage assessment and veterinary surgery, executive session for governor appointments, and salary-linked actions. In the house, the Ways and Means Committee rejected Watkin’s tax script proposal and highlighted a reform school inquiry. The senate took up eight hour workday discussions and adjourned after various readings and county petitions.
