that there are nearly hundred important bills
on the Senate file which the Assembly had

hope of he Senate acting upon these bills the

clared that the irrigation bills were i'll the inter
est of monopolists, and he believed their way
through the House was paid for.
Jones to Firebaugh-I am with you in this
matter, but am afraid you have gone over 20
the enemy by talking out the days session
You have been our friend, but you seem to have
played of on US.

infamous charge against the members who had
voted for the pas age OF the irrigation bills in
that they had been paid for their
votes. FOR himself he hurled back the accusa-

repeated that money could be used in various
ways in the interest of the irrigation bills.
