Observation-Disclosures

The Legislature Thursday morning ex-
tended the time for the introduction of
new bills from Friday. Feb. 10. until
Tuesday. Feb. IA. at noon. A joint reso-
luton to that effect was introduced by
Assemblyman Leroy and passed the As
sembly and was Immediately concurred
in by the Senate. The pressure of new
bills was so great that the managers gave
way to the demand for more time in
spite of their desire to get started early
in order II bring about short session.
The joint committee on capitol and
grounds which held a secret meeting
Wednesday afternoon, recommended that
the report of the capitol commission,
strongly favoring the adoption of the
plans of Cass Gilbert of New York for
the new State house. be adopted The
report was introduced in the Assembly
by Speaker Lenroot and went on TO the
calendar without opposition. In the Sen
ate 1t was introduced by Senator Stout
but on motion of Senator Stevens con
sideration of the report went over until
next Wednesday at IL o'clock. The at
tempts of the leaders in the Assembly
to secure more patronage by creating
several new positions was again held up
in the Senate. Senator Stevens announc-
ed that he expected to have substitute
for the resolution, but that he had not
had time to prepare it and asked to have
consideration of the measure put over.
The administration railroad rate bill
introduced in both houses Friday. 1t is
long, comprehensive measure on which
the committee has been working for
weeks. 1t provides for three commits
sioners to be appointed by the Governor
for term of six years, at a salary of
$4,000 year. In substance the bill pro-
vides that the commission shall perform
all the duties now performed by the traf-
tic managers of the various roads of the
State. 1t gives the commission power to
change commodity rates, zone rates,
group rates, or any other rates that are
now established by the railroads them
selves which may seem to the commits
sion to be to the best interests of the
State. 1t provides, however, that there
shall be no secret rate of any kind or de-
scription. There is no long or short haul
provided for and no distance tariff, and
the commission is left free to work out
the schedules which shall be fair to the
railroads and fair to every shipping in
terest in the State. In addition to this
absolute ratemaking power it is proposed
to give the commission power to regulate
traffic on roads for the convenience not
only of railroads but shippers as well,
and to compel interchange of traffic at
functional points without inconvenience
or unnecessary delay. Provision is made
for power to compel the delivery of cars
upon spur tracks where the necessity of
traffic demands it. Power is given to the
commission to regulate charges for
switching and demurrage charges. In
vestigation of s!l accidents is provided
for.
