questing cur Representative to urge
the passage Of the Reagan bill was de-
feated in the Assembly. Honors are
easy between The two Houses Of the
Nevada Legislature on all matters re-

seems to have been that all bills affect
ing railroads which originated in the
Senate and passed that body wore to be
defeated in the Assembly, while oil bills
OF similar import passing the Assembly
were to be defeated in tho Seuete. BY
this amicable arrangement, although
the majority in one House was Demo-
cratic and Republican in the other,
neither party could gain any political
advantage on the railroad question.
