MODERN sTATESM ANsuIP.

The uninitiated senator or represen-
tative takes it for granted that the best
way to kill a bill or defeat a policy,
ID to speak against it and vote against
IL. Not so the initiated. He appreciates
the danger Of such n course where the
bill or policy commands popular re-
spect and he therefore poses ns its
friend, but he Is too solicitous. With
a determination to secure full. com
plete and accurate knowledge on the
subject he persists i'll bringing in
witnesses who take up the time OF the
committee having the measure in
charge, until it becomes too late in
tho session for action. This ia called
s%trangllng in COMMITTEES" and is the
favorite method of Senator Elkins,
Representative Dhlzsll, Gen. Grosyenor
and similar statesmen" Another
favorite practice, especially with meas.
ures OF national importance and
affecting the railroads, ia to amend
tho bill with the protested purpose OF
Strengthening its provisions, but with
the real purpose Of rendering il uncon.
stitutional, so that after the govern
ment has passed it in the courts at
great cost Of money and time il will
TALL before the supreme court Of the
United States. These are the methods
employed by the astute statesmen, but
they have still another to ian back on.
AS Il last resort they excite the radicals
in congress to a pitch 81 c]nthuGiasm
which utterly beclouds their better
judgment and leads them to insist on
such extreme legislation as to insure
ultimate defeat Tor the measure which
they have been Instrumental in amend
ing.
All Of these methods will be employ.
ed before the opposition will ALLOW the
remedial railway legislation to be
placed On the statutes. The Democrats
will exercise tha utmost vigilance to
prevent the success OF my Of these
methods without II complete exposure
OF the perpetrator, whoever he may be.
OF course, a majority will rule in any
event, but it is regarded rs almost az
important thnt the snakes in the grass

such expose may insure tho ultimat,
success OF the Legislative policy.-Johns,

4 BAD BILL.

Senate Bill No. IL, introduced by
Senator Rolf, has several features that
should be stricken ont. Section l pro-
vides that all insurance companies
doing business in the State shall pay
into the office OF the insurance commits
sioner at the end Of each quarter one per
cent OF the cash premiums received 10y
them on all business transacted in the
State.
II this bill becomes a Law, the iLsur.
State will add the four per cent collected
from them 10y the State to their present
rates and people who insure their prop
erty will have it to pay. This will make
the insurance rate 60 high that small
property holders aunot insure their
property. These rates are now so high
in Elko ns TO be almost prohibitive.
The bill also provides that one.hs!f OF
the money received under Section l shall
be used in providing hose, lire extin-
guishers and Other safety fire appliances
for the public buildings Of the State,
and the remaining half for The enforcing
OF the insurance laws Of the State.
Ii strikes the writer that il the State
needs fire appliances to protect its
buildings. the proper way to purchase
them is by a tax on all the property OF
the State and not Only ON that Of those
who insure their property.
There are other bad features Ill this
hill, but those mentioned above are bad
enough to kill it. The writer knows Of
no demand OF the people on the IeGisla
ture for cinch legislation on the insur-
ance companies or any other business in
the State.
