CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

The constitutional convention yes
terday refused either to limit debate 10
committee OF the whole or TO adopt q
rule permitting the previous or pend
ing questions to be called. Members
expressed opposition to gallopine
through the new constitution 10 any
such manner, and the body sustained
that view.
Mr.. Anderson charged that under
the present rule the convention, as
body, was helpless to protect itseli
from deliberate hold-up by any single
member who had the lungs and the
inclination to do 20. H." he exclsim'
ed, "the streams Of eloqusnce con
tinued to flow 90 they have poured FOL
the past six months. this convention
will be 10 session twelve months hence
and the very volubility or deliberation
will prevent the making OF any con-
stitntion at ALL"
Mr.. O'Flaherty spoke earnestly 10
favor OF his amendment TO elect circuit
Judges by the people. This and vsrl'
Gus other amendments were defeated,
aud the convention adjourned without
any impairment of the report as II
came from the committee.
The convention committee on Cur
porations yesterday afternoon adopted
the section prescribing the duties OF o
corporation commission. The vote was
7 to2. The commission Is TO be COM
posed of three mem bers elected by the
people. 1t will have exclusive power
to issue charters and amendments OF
extension thereof and to grant to for
eign corporations licenses to do busi-
ness 10 the State. 1t will be the agency
for the supervision, control, visitation,
and regulation of all corporations ano
will perform all duties and have all
powers now devolving upon the board
sioner. II is to be given general con-
troll and supervision OF all traffic rates
made by transportation companies, and
will have power to prevent discrimins-
ton. Appeal is allowed from the COM
missions order, after full hearing, to
the Supreme Court, but no order OF the
body is to be suspended 10 its operation
pending such appeal, and the action APP
pealed from shall be regarded as prims
face fair and shall not be reversed no.
less clearly illegal or erroneous.
The agricultural committee, by one
msjority, decided to report favorably to
the finance committee the ordinance
empowering municipalities to exempt
new manufacturing enterprises from
taxation for FIVE years. The finance
committee, whose members attended
the bearing, will vote against the ex-
emption, and the matter will be fought
out in the convention.
