OUR WASHINGTON
NEWS And NOTES
ITEMS OF INTEREST BRIEFLY
CHRoNICLED.
WAS QUICKLY ADOPTED
The House Lost No Time In Adopting
the Tillman-G Gillespie Resolution as
there Was not an Opposing Vote.

Preceded by debate which indie
ated not hesitancy, but rather a rel
ish in taking action against alleged
railroad combinations, the house
agreed, without opposition, to the Till
man-Gillespie resolution, directing the
Interstate Commerce Commission to
make an immediate inquiry and re-
port regarding the alleged restraints
of trade on the part of certain rail-
roads in the handling of coal and oil.
Phe resolution was not in the form
in which it passed the senate, and
will go back to that body for its sec
ond action. The debate occupied
an hour and consisted Of a succession
Of speeches in denunciation of alleg-
ed practices and an endorsement of
the proposed investigation.
Mr.. Grosvenor of Ohio characterized
Mr.. Grosvenor of Ohio characterized
it as rebuke to the recent "peurile
report which had been made by GER
tain railroad official" Mr.. Gillespie,
of Texas, said that if half that he
had heard was true, the commercial
brigandage of today put entirely in
the shade the hold-up man Of the
frontier days. Mr.. Townsend, of
Michigan, who presented the resolu-
ton from the committee discussed
the conditions which in his opinion
made it necessary. The only note of
apprehension was from Mr.. Mann of
Illinois, who called attention to the
law which exempts from prosecution
persons who may testify in the in
quiry. In this manner he said, the
guilty officials, if any such were
found, might be able to escape pun
ishment. 1t was explained that the
resolution in no way changed exist
ing law on this point, and the belief
was expressed that in making the in
quiry the committee would exercise
discretion in getting its information
from sources which would not exempt
possible guilty parties.

writes, "has concluded its first year
with loss of $14, 800, which is charg-
ed to agricultural losses and general

both for quality and quantity of pro-

the company would supply the Ital-

The crusade inaugurated by Com,

Of pertinent questions to one Of the
large companies and if they are mol
answered satisfactorily the concern
will be stopped from doing business
in the Lone Star state. While such
action may be considered stringent
it is necessary for the good of those
who have been paying their money fol
protection, and an active and con.
scientious official at the head of an

to step in between the policy holder
and those who would treat him un,
fairly.

of consequence has as yet been

fculty in raising revenue to carry on
the expenses of state government! !!

ed at a very low rate and is really NOT
worth a very great deal in its pres.
ent condition. IF it were in proper
cultivation, it could be made to pro.
duee liberally of the worlds need.
and would at the same time prove q
much better source Of revenue to the
state. The policy prevailing at pres.
ent is suicidal to the best interets OF
the people in general. Shall Mississ

most progressive young men to Other
states to seek opportunities, and keep
up the practice of paying tribute te
other states in numerous waysq She
most certainly should not. Prepare
to handle the situation here at home
and commence by developing the won
derful resources that are here in such
abundance.
