The House has passed a bill repeating
that part Of an act which forbids the
importation of borses whose tails have
been "docked." Debate was opened
by Mr. Dolph. author OF the bill. He
stated that the measure did not pro-
pose any interference with the law
against the docking Of horses. Its OBJ
ject was TO permit the importation OF
valuable horses whose tails had been
already docked. Some OF the wealthy
horsemen Of the state wished TO estao-
lish large breeding farms. but were
unable to do so because OF the strict
laws agairst bringing In docked horses.

In the House Monday. Mr.. o'Conneii
made n speech In supper; OF his bill.
providing for u constitutional amend.
ment to make smelters to be public
utilities. MIR. oConneil charged that
the smelters annually took hundreds OF
thousands Of dollars OF the value of
ore and made no report TO the pro.
ducers OF that ore. Hc also attacked
an interview which was credited TO
Simon Guggenhcim two years ago. In
which the latter gave figures on the
! results to the miners OF ore sold TO
smelters. His argument was that the
smeltcrs should be declared public
4. Niu'ltlHE oFFh
should bo fixed by public commits.
, sion, An extended reply was made by
MIR. Dolph. who quoted from the rc.
ports Of numerous Investigators to
show that illadyiscd legislation
against trusts has resulted In making
, the trusts stronger. Al the conclusion
: of the debate. which took up all OF the
afternoon, Mr.. Dolph moved that the
{ cnacting clause be removed from the
! bill. Carried.
