Mr.. Linson offered his bill creating an IN
vestigating Commission as a substitute lor MI
Iaughlns canal investigation resolution
Mr. Cantor informed the Senate that such
bill passed the Assembly last night lie thouGht
the Republicans should accept it. That would
end the deadlock. Year after year" SAID MI.
Cantor, the Republicans have been defeated ana
now they are seeking by most desperate means
to turn the tide o.. -, c,
Yes. and we shall turn it, said Mr.. Sloan;
"but permit me TO ask what kind OF nOh-paIuSan
commission would David b. Hill appoint? Every
one knows that it would be partisan thTouGhoul'
IL would shield the Canal Department admlhlStId-
ton from all blame. But am opposed 10 theSe
State commissions. The Legislature shoulu nno tIo
delegate its powers to them in such matters as he
present; when, obeying the commands OF ule
Constitution, we are trying to discover now lne

We want the Legislature TO make this lnvcstlga-
ton of the canals. Then, some OF the memDGre
of the Canal Committee will be members OF the
next Legislature and will be interested III brln9-
ing about the reforms suggested by the reports
II is strange that tic Governor should press US
to have q nOn-partiSan lnvestlgatlOn, Whcn tlc
Democratic Assembly has held at least three

only partisans should make these inveSugatlOns'
Then Mr.. Cantor said, addressing MIR. sloan
"I will agree before the bill is passed that Ine
Governor and the Senate name tile Commission
Mr. Sloan said that such n proposition was no
imprsvement. The Legislature should investigate
such things
Mr.. Ives-I therefore propose, in keeping with that
view, that the Commission consist OF members, OF

That gentleman seemed dazed for moment by
the audacity of the question, and then lie replied
