GOSSIP OF THE LEGISLATORS

now and then an incident bobs up which emphasizes this fact.
 There was such an incident in the Senate yesterday while the Senate was considering the Alabama Railroad Con- mission bill. One section of the bill declares any man who Is an officer. who owns stock or who has any sort of a connection with railroad. shall be ineligible to be member of the Ala bana Railroad Commission.
 Senator Blackmon proposed to amend that section by providing that no large shipper, no man who had great inter- ests to be affected by cheap rates should be eligible to membership on the Commission.
 The other Senators looked at Sena- tor Blackmon reproachfully. and killed his amendment as dead as door nail.
