Appropriation Bills Die In Montana House Action
The Montana house killed two measures on third reading yesterday. House Bill 447, funding executive salaries and expenses, failed 32 to 59 as Republicans defected to oppose trimmed spending. Senate Bill 37, for absent voter ballots, faced long debate and was shelved. The house approved 449 for a deficit of 96,300 for the industrial accident board and 452 for maintenance of state institutions. Additionally, 353 would pay 33,902.65 to Applegate and Toole for the Skalkaho highway. A motion to strike 3,684.51 to Ludwig Rose’s claim failed, and 454 was recommended for $2,500 to buy historical war equipment.

Congress Passes Lot of Bills. Public Buildings Rider Fails
Congress ended its session with a tepid show of effort as a $150 million public buildings measure stalled in the senate after an hour of debate. The house had attached the rider to the deficiency bill but the senate refused, and lawmakers prepared to concede the rider when conference talks resume. The day saw 108 measures signed by President Coolidge as adjournment neared, while most items moved through with limited controversy and many await executive action.
