sion Of the bill providing that public boards

OF p to 10 The same measure, known as

Senator Orchard for the Committee on
Criminal Jurisprudence reported favorably

Governor. will be substituted for the COM
mittee bill =
The friends of franchise taxation are Be.
coming nervous over the situation, and are
not willing longer to take chances a. to
action on this important question. \ 81
The parliamentary situation of the COM
mittee bill tn the Senate Is taken to require
prompt action. in view of the understand
Ing that majority of the Senators are op-
posed to it. II the committee bill should b
voted down tomorrow and no substitute
offered for II the whole question would have
to be taken up again in committee and
thus the passage of the bill through the
Senate would be delayed for many DAYS. It
is known that the Williams bill can pass
the Senate. II Is believed. therefore, that
this bill will be offered a. q substitute for
the committee bill. and If, in the Judgment
OF the friends Of franchise-tax legislation
II should require amendment, this can b
done in ths House.
The parliamentary situation would. there
fore. be much improved, because any
amendment the House might incorporate In
the Williams bill would 20 back to the
Senate and require a vote there. or else the
bill with amendments would be sent to con-
ference, the effect being that the Senate
would have to vote on any amendments
fne House might desire to Offer.

TATUM ON THE NEsBIT LAW.
Says Nfne-Tenths of 1t IL Exact Copy
of Act of 1895.

Joseph T. Tatum OF the st. Louis bar, who
was member Of the Legislature In 1895,
said yesterday concerning the denunciation
Of the Nesbit election law by Republicans:
The Globe-Democrat, in its issue of to-
DAY. reports that Senator Rollins said yes
terday In the Senate that the present cleo
t1ou law wiped out an honest election law
and does not possess one iota Of merit from
its enacting clause to its close
made q careful comparison Of the Mes
pit act Qt should be styled Hawkins after
It's introducer. though he was not its author)
with the act of 1885; at least nine-tenths Of
the present law, section after section with
out change. Is an exact literal copy of the
act OF 1886. The wholesale denunciation of
the present law is inconsistent with the
proper epithet honest as to the former.
Il have noticed several instances where
speakers and writers about the present and
former election laws appear to be grossly
ignorant of the subject. both as to matter
and as to origin and method of manu-
facture of the bills.
Il had much to do with the wording of
the law OF 1895. and revised the proof sheets
before 1t was acted upon. / am therefore,
In favor Of II. and think 1t ought to be re,
enacted Shor' 4 that be done. would sug-
gest two or three improvements, to be
copied from the sNesbit' law"
