into three railroad districts, one
Commissioner to be elected from
each district.
Rolfe moved to strike out the
section, stating that this was neces-
sary to harmonic with the McCul-
lum amendment, adopted yester-
day, by which the Commissioners
were to be elected for
six years, one to be
elected biennially. He presumed
that, by that decision, it was in
tended to elect from the whole State
at large instead of by districts.
- Reynolds submitted an amend
ment adding clause that the Com.
missioners shall be elected by the
qualified voters of their respective
districts.
Estee thought 1t desirable, If the
Commissioners were elected in the
State at large, that they should be
residents of the respective districts.
FiIcher opposed the election by
districts, which would lead to colo.
nization.
McCallum expressed similar
views. If he could do so he would
make the area Of election wider
than the whole State and thus pre-
vent the use of certain influences
which had demoralized the politics
of the State.
Barbour moved recOmmittal of
sections 20, 81 and % to the Com
mittee on Corporations, in order
that the same be harmonized.
The committee rose and reported
progress.
A long discussion followed on
Barbour's motion to recommit.
The roll was called on reference tn
the committee, resulting in ayes
81, noes so. The sections are there
fore recommitted.
Tinnin then offered resolution
instructing the Committee on Cor.
porations to report sections provid.
ing for an election of Com mission
ers by districts; holding Office for
four years, and for the removal of
the Commissioner by a vote Of
two-thirds of the members of each
branch of the Legislature.
Harrington offered an amend
ment that instructions be given to
provide for Commissioners, one
from each district, but to be elected
by the State ut large.
Howard called for the previous
question, which was seconded by
Conden.
The amendment by Harrington
was defeated by ViVa Voce vote.
Hale demanded a division on
Tinnin's instruction to the COM
mittee.
The roll was called on the first
proposition, namely: Instructing
the Committee on Corporations to
report sections providing for the
election of Commissioners by three
separate districts, to hold office for
four years, resulting, ayes 80, noes
Al. Adopted.
A vote was next taken in the
second clause, requiring two.
thirds vote of each House of the
Legislature for the removal of
Commissioners. Ayes 90; noes CO.
Terry moved further instructions
to the Committee to report on Sec
ton 20 clause comforting upon
the Commissioners power to pun
ish for contempt of their orders and
process, the same as Courts of
record. Adopted under pird Uoce
vote.
McCollum offered a resolution
for further instructions to the COM
mittee, striking out from section
20 that clause where it is provided
that the rates fixed by the Com
missioners shall be prinlo .fdcie evi.
dence of the correctness of such
charges.
Pending the discussion recess
was taken until 2 O'clock.
