Mr. toncgys.L'nn you do hat.
Mr.. kinncar-That Is for this conven-
tion to decide. think YOU can. Power
explained how the Pacific mail steam
ship company and the transcontinental
railway pooled and kept up frcights.
Mr.. Bcttis said II was beneath the
dignity of a state to put something in u
constitution tn apply to one single case
as this would do California had done
II, but we should not.
Mr.. Gritiitss said this was probably to
regulate commerce between states and
foreign countries, so he should oppose it
! Mr.. Buchanan thought he would do
the same, and was moved thereto by roc
olccting that the Northern Pacific might
want to join with some shipsto
MAKE 4 JAPAN LINE
and compete with the Canadian Pacific,
which ought certainly not to be prohib-

i MIR. Turner did not think the state

would not give the machinery of its
courts to the enforcement OF any pool

sarY to enforce this idea in cases of local
rooms.
Mr.. Wcisenborgcr said there were now
steamboats, on Puget Sound and they
hoped soon TO have railroads on both
sides of II. Surely the state would not
want to prevent pooling between the
boats and these roads.
Mr.. kinnear was
OPPOSED TO ALL SCHEMES
of pooling and proposed to apply this
prin Ciplc to all common carriers.
Mr.. Griifitts thought the pooling bust
ness was covered by section ~, but Mr.
kinncar did not.
Mr.. Goldman moved to amend by
striking out that leaves port or make,

: ports" SO as to make it ali local.
Mr.. ComcgyS thought we had no powc
to Interfere with commerce, but with
