ssnSers fare on interstate railroads was in
troduced by Smyth. 1t came up as a spe-
c;aI order at 1870 O'Clock. Fish stated 1t
Was believed that several sections OF the
hill were irregular, II not unconstitutional,
and he moved that the bill be referred TO
tine Judiciary Committee. Smyth pro-
tested against this course. Pouiade
thought that as the author Of the bill was
willing to have it come up now, the others
| should defer to his wish. Parker said the
| Committee on Corporations and Railroads
had had this bill under consideration.
| None Of it's members we're lawyers, but
| they believed that certain provisions
| therein we're unconstitutional, therefore it
| had been reported back without recommen-
| dation, In order that the same should have
| a fair consideration. smyth said the time
| FOR reference 10 his bill to the Judiciary
| Committee was when IL was reported back
| To the Senate by the Committee on Corpo-
| rations, Dennis moved that the bill be
reported 10 the Judiciary Committee. with
| instructions for the committee to re-
mort the same back within three days.
Foley, chairman OF the committee,
| Thought the committee was being imposed
upon. 1t had q great deal OF business be-
fore it. 1t would report the bill In three
days II IL was possible 10 do 80. IL not,
| the committee would report when ii was
prepared to do 80. Dennis amendment
| prevailed, and the bill was referred TO the
Judiciary Committee. The object Of
Smyth's proposed law is to reduce the
maximum rate for carrying passengers on
interstate roads 70 five cents per mile.
Westerfeld's Railroad bill came up
shortly Afterwards. Fish said hat at the
risk OF being called 9 crank on consti-
t~utional provisions, moved its reference to
the Judiciary Committee. Westerfield
asked what the gentleman's object was.
Fish replied that the bill STIMULATING that
one-hslf OF tho penalties shall be paid to
the informer, was clearly unconstitutional,
when the Constitution required all fines TO
20 into the school fund. Westerfeld said
he was willing 10 have the bill go TO the
Judiciary Committee, because he would
recommend its passage. II passed, ii
would In his opinion be the greatest scheme
ever proposed on the subject. Poujade
believed In amending the bill right now,
40 as 20 make ID constitutional. and op-
posed its reference. The bill. however,
was referred 10 the Judiciary Committee.
Matters connected with the University
of Nevada are 10 receive some attention.
The Committee on Ways and Means have
reported in favor Of . very beggarly ap-
preparation for the conduct OF the insti-
tuition during the next tive years. A con-
| victiou IL growing that very little can be
accomplished in the cause Of higher edu.
cation in Nevada, 80 long ss the University
Ia continued 10 Its present isolated location.
:. Senator Poujade gave notice that be would
introduce q bill at some future date 70 re-
organize the State University. and pro-
el vide for it's government and maintenance.

70 to the greatest good OF our State to secure

removal Of the University from its present
+ locality. we would especially refer you 70
i the biennial report OF the Board OF he
gents OF the University for the years 1883
and 1884, page nine. We would also draw
the attention OF your Honorable body TO
a Section 4, article IL. Of the State Constr

establishment OF . State University wnich
shall embrace departments for Agriculture
mechanic arts and mining. Especially
would we call your attention TO the de-
partment OF Mechanic Arts, for the teach

been made. Taking into consideration the
fact that we have no manufactures

q knowledge Of the different trades by the
usual way, tina. Is by apprenticeship we
deem IL pre-eminently the duty OF she
State to carry ont the provisions ana sup

further believe that II is essential 70 the
future welfare OF the State 20 assist
our boys in procuring an education
that will enable them to obtain at
least an elementary knowledge OF the me
chsnic arts, who at present wishing 10 op-
tain the knowledge spoken OF above are
forced TO leave the State at great expense
TO parents and guardians. BY following
this course. our young men. the very peo-
pie we should most desire to keep among

way back. Trusting that your Honorable
body will give this favorable consideration
we remain, most respectfully yours.
