1T is high time that something should be
done" said Mr.. Davidson. Let the con-

Oliver of Cape GirarGeau said that the
substitute aimed at the scandals which
every one knew existed. The constitutional
amendment which l have introduced COM
pelling railroads to furnish free transporta-
ton will help clear the House of this at
mosphere. No effort has ever been made
to clear the House Of the imputations which
have been cast against it. Let US forever
put q quietus on this matter. The clause
in the Constitution which forbids members
using free transportation is the father of
the lobby around which other equally bad
influences futter like moths in the candle
light"
