The Montgomery advertiser., 1907-11-12

The pyrotechnics will, it is expected, take place today. when the Governors pet measures will come up for final disposition. Then, 1t is anticipated, some of the Senators will break over sthe traces, and begin to ask questions. They will want to know why this bill is presented. and what are the merits of that other one.
 It is possible amendments will be offered. These will, without doubt. be voted against soiidly by the adminis- traitor Senator's, because the Governor in his message. said the railroad bills had been prepared by the attorneys for the State in the pending litigation, and he wanted them to go through, without change and without. delay.
 The Committee on Judiciary report ed the eight re-classifying bills, which displace the no commodity bill, which ing litigation. They were placed on the< calendar for third reading. These are the measures which. in each of eight groups, classify the rates permitted to be charged by the rail- roads for the transportation in Ala bama of various commodities. There are said to be in the neighborhood of 5000 rates provided in the eight bills.
 The feature of the measures Is the new classification of Alabama rail- roads. by which the Louisville and Nashville, which has been "recalci- trant" in the litigation in the Federal Court. is irnpeded with all the regula- tions of first class road, while the Southern, which has promised to be good is let off with tfird<ciass posi-. ton. The rates imposed on the Louis vile and Nashville. as a first-class road, are considerably higher than those provided for the Southern, as q third-class road.
 Seven of the other administration measures that had been in the hands of the Committee on Commerce and Common Carriers were reported by that committee. and were likewise placed on the calendar for third read ing.
