Similar biQ was killed by one vote
in the house in the 1$25 session, but
only after a hot fight. No intense
battle preceded this year's defeat.

gone through formality of placing a
committee report on the calendar; but

biore than 15,000 citizens of the state
had petitioned the assembly for the
passage "for the good uf state ownetl
schools," maintained the present sjJ

conceded' defeat drew no surprise and
created no comment here. The ^ill

question of initial passage to. the sen
