RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS LAW REPEALED
Mr.. AIKENS called up the council bill
repcaling the railroad commission law
which passed by the following vote: Ayes
Aikens, Allen. Adams, Baldwin, Bixler
Burnham. Clarke, Cooke, Douglas
Fletcher, Greene, Gronna, Hunter, Jones
Logan, Lillibridge, Mcdonald, Miller
Morris, Newman, Palmer, Patton, Potter
Price. Ramsdell. Roger, Ryan, Sheets
Swanston, Trude, Turnbull, Upham, Van
Etten, White, Welcome, Mr.. Speaker S6
nays, Messrs. Bennett, Mallory, McHugh
Partridge, Parkin, Smith, Wellman-9.
Mr.. AIKENS in calling up the bill said
it was apparent that there was no DISPOSE
ton to grant the railroad commissioners
power to do good and therefore the law
should be repealed. The commissioners
are of no earthly use and cost $4,000 fol
two years. Let Us pass some measure that
Mr.. PARTRIDGE opposed the repeal be-
cause the Council will on Monday pass q
bill amending this law.
Mr.. MALLORY urged that the bill
should be killed for the same reason.
Mr.AIKENS said when the council passes
bill that meets with the requirements OF
the people and the approval Of the house
amendments can be made to provide for 8
new board of railroad commissioners, but
it would be impossible for any member OF
commission: He urged that the legisla-
ture should do at least one creditable
thing.
