Enactment of law which will " permit the Chicago Historical society to erect a $1,0<>0,000 building in Lincoln park. ' Appropriation of salaries of two commissioners of the State Shpmne court. The offices were created at the last session but not provision was Made for their salaries. Marked 'by heated argument, the houre of representatives, on the first d:>y of the general session, discharged the elections committee, which was slated by administration leaders to, consider the primary measures, and voted that the primary law hills be taken up by the house as a committee of the whole. The vote was SS to 40 in favoring the discharge of the committee. Of the 24 bills introduced In the senate at the opening session, seven to solve the primary tangle were presented by Senator John T. Joyce, Chicago; sixteen were .offered by Senator Roy C. Woods, Chicago, to deal with tax levy corrections and the other by Senator Richard Meeuts of Ashkum, related to the proposed appropriation .for salaries for Supreme court commissions. All of the bills were advanced to the second reading without reference. The main primary bill introduced during the opeuing session provides for the nomination of state and other officers and sets the primary election date as the second Tuesday in April. ! Separate bills define the power orcotiKj niittees, delegates, conventions and T officers of political parties and for the | election of Presidential electors. It was said that Presidential electors are placed in a separate bill so that If a court finds this provision unconstitutional the finding will not affect the .status of main primary laws. Another provides for central committees of political parties and the manner of their election; another for the primary nomination of members of the general assembly. Thirty bills on the primary were scheduled to be offered in the house and senate, while sixteen bills were necessary to iron out revenue legislation which was rushed through the last session. Next in importance to the primary law Is the downstate bonding power question. The State Supreme court recently held unconstitutional the law passed at the last session which limited the bonding power of the downstate to one-half that of Chicago. The ; bonding power was expected to be i equalized in order to meet the situation. - If proper attention ts given to I ' MRS.
