SINCE the passage of the Aust
fee bill in the house of the general
assembly the lobbyists have not
been letting any grass grow under
their feet, and it is now predicted
that there will be wavering among
the members when the bill is re-
ported in the senate. The people
were never more thoroughly in
earnest than upon the question of
reforming the atrocious fee system,
and the action of each member OF
the general assembly will be watch
ed with more than usual interest

The muchly discussed anti-op-
ton bill passed the Senate Tuesday
by a vote of 40 to 20. However,
if all indications are true, there is
rocky road for the bill in the House,
before even the President can have
an opportunity to veto the measure.
Tennessee's Senators voted against
the bill. The bill was denounced
by Senator WoLCoTT as "a palpa-
BILE fraud on the Constitution" and
"a lie on it's face"

The disposition Of the members
of both houses for cut in the fees
of coal oil inspectors is very strong,
but just how to reach this end is
rather perplexing problem. From
the best information sent out Sun
day all the members are averse to
seeing the Standard Oil Company
the gamer, and they don't seem to
know just how to circumvent the
big combine and at the same time
reduce the fees. Mr.. Ellis bill to
increase the size Of the barrels from
43 to so gallons, and reduce the fees
per barrel from Is to 10 cents is
pending. The bill will probably
pass, inasmuch as it is somewhat in
line with the recommendation of
Governor Turney.

The Aust bill to fix the salaries
Of State officials, which passed the
house last week, will not have very
smooth sailing in the senate, if all
reports are true. Ever since the
passage Of the bill in the house the
lobbyists have been at work and
strong influences are being brought
to bear on the senate to defeat the
bill in that body. This influence
against the passage Of the bill is
said to come from shrewd and crafty
politicians who believe that "to the
victors belong the spoils,' and that
the fee system is the fountain from
which all blessings flow.
Representative Vincent, author
of the bill for a uniform system of
text books, is receiving letters from
all over the State endorsing the
measure and urging the general as

Vincent seems to have some doubt

struggling hard to convince the
members of it's meritorious charac.
