1t is an interesting fact that former
Speaker Ray. who was the Stalwart can
didate for Speaker against Mr.. I.euroot,
saved for the administration three of
the most important measures. One was
the primary bill Another was the mort
gage tax measure and the third was the
bill increasing the power of the railroad
commissioner to examine into the ques-
ton If the giving of rebates by the rail-
roads Mr. Ray saved the mortgage tax
bill by persisting in a demand for a call
of the House, although there were cries
of NO" from all parts of the House.
But for that call it would have been inn
possible to secure the attendance of sixty
members, the number necessary to vote
on the bill in order to secure it, legal
enactment In fact. Speaker Lenroot
had stated that all that could be done
was to take a yive voca vote and let the
journal show il aud let the courts decide
the legality of the enactment. Sixty
members were necessary to vote on the
rebate bill That measure could not have
been enacted into a law but for the call
Of the House. 1t is understood that Sen
ator Gaveney does not desire to return
TO the Senate and in that event it is
probable that Mr.. Ray will be his sue
cessor.

There were a larger number Of young
men in the Legislature than ever before
