Bill Provides for Passes.

Should the bill which is before the
house just now be sent through to vic
tory, railroads will be compelled to
issue passes to all public officials, from
notary public to the governor. The
bill was reported out of the house rail
road committee last week and it was
voted upon for passage. The measure
is the direct opposite of the pass bill
now before the senate, which prohib-
its any public official from accepting
free rides from the railroads. Sew
eral measures upon this subject have
been introduced and, now that this ex-
treme is before the house, it is felt
here that the solons. will be made to
commit themselves upon their attitude
on the pass question.
Clary Bill Put to Sleep.
The senate effectively killed the
Clary house bill to give persons con-
victed of crime a new trial on the dis
covery of new evidence. The measure
had appeared before, once, on the floor
Of the senate and was recommitted to
the committee on judiciary, which the
second time promptly voted to recon-
mend it for indefinite postponement.
The measure called for interesting dis
cussion and on the several motions al.
most won a victory.
Legislative News in Brief.
The municipal accounting bill was
introduced in the senate by Senator
Durham. It authorizes the auditor

tenn Of accounts, reports and audit in

Cummings pure food bill.
The judiciary committee OF the SEN
ate was in a bloodthirsty mood re-
Gently, and by the way that the bills
considered by it were decapitated
must have made the fellows that en-
gineered the guillotines Of the French
revolution turn over in their graves.
The senate pharmacy committee
voted to recommend for passage the
Molsberry bill, requiring strict exam
nations of persons seeking certificates
as pharmacists. The bill as amended
