Austin Texas, October 1s.-It is learned
that the railroad commission win ask the
legislature 10 pass law giving authority
to any expert sent out by the commission
to examine the books and nsners OF others
than railroad companies, and 20 examine
under oath other than railroad officials aud
employees II has frequently occurred when
the expert accountant Of the commission
was making exarpinatlops 81 the books,
papers and employesset 5ailrosd compdries,
Mt distant points from the capital that It
has become necessary to examine. under
oath. merchants dealers aud other shippers
in order to elicit testimony necessary to
enable the commission TO enforce the law
against eXtortion and discrimination. And
in such cases delays often occur and OK
penses are increased by reason Of the fact
that one OF the commissioners has to go
to the aid Of the expert to administer oaths
to and TO examine the books and papers
Of such merchants. dealers and shippers.
The commission will also ask for law
compelling the secretary OF state to fur
nlsh court reports TO the commission, the
