ELECT COMMISSIONERS
House Committee So Reports, Bat
There VIII BE :, big Fight On 1t.

The reporting of the bill providing for
the election by the people of commission
crs of the revenue by the house commit
tee on counties. cities. and towns yesterday
merely transfers the indecisive ba tile over
the matter Of election or appointment Of
these officers from the committee room
to the floor of the house. The report was
not a unanimous one but there was no
minority report filed. the opponents of the
measure rsserving the right to oppose the
bill on the floor when it comes up.
The fight over this bill promises to be
of the session. Under the constitutional
provision. on the subject, the commission
ers OF the revenue. if elected by the peo-
pie, are made ineligible to succeed them
selves. and must retire after one term. On
the other hand. if they be appointed by
the circuit or corporation courts, as pro-
posed in the Lyle bill, they may be re-
appointed as often as the judges see fit.
The commissioners generally favor the
appointive plan. and the joint committee
on counties. cities and towns was hope
essly divided, the vote on the question of
popular election being 10 to :.
The result cannot be forecast. but it
is agreed On all sides that the contest
will be very close in the house.
Many leading citizens. Of Richmond
have petitioned for the adoption of the
appointive plan.

Contempt

A canvass of various prominent mem
lative department. otherwise known as
the City Council. and Of eminent legal
gentlemen, seems to establish clearly
and beyond doubt the right and author
ity Of the Board of Aldermen, independ-
emily of the other branch. to appoint
committee to inquire into and investigate
the conduct Of it's own members.
Thus far there seems to be little dis
pute for the competency Of the body
to proceed on the line laid down by Ma
jor Aliens resolution. adopted by the
board Tuesday night. But from this point
opinions diverge on one important, If not
essential question. and that is as to the
authority of a committee so constituted
to compel the attendance OF witnesses
and to punish them for contempt for re-
fuhing TO testify.
JURISDICTION OF CONTEMPT.
This power necessarily inherent in all
courts OF law, is expressly given to the
City Council and any of its committees
in so mary words by the citys charter.
but it does not appear that the Board OF
Aldermen or 1.-THE Common Council are
Interchangeable bic terms, or can be inter-
changeable terms with the city Councfl
and any Of it's committees" These extra
ordinary powers. expressly delegated TO
