Railroad Bills Numerous.

About one-sixth of the $50 bills in
troduced in the legislature so far O
vide for the regulation of railroads in
some manner. There are, for in
stance, six bills relating to reciprocal
demurrage, four anti-pass bills, three
2-cent maximum fare bills and two
2h2-cent fare bills, two requiring rail
road companies to stop all
trains at county seats, a gross earn
1ngs tax bill and a bill for the taxa.
ton OF all freight operating lines do
ing business within the state, two
bills requiring railroads TO fence both
sides OF their tracks and to provide
cattle guards; two maximum coal rate
bills. one requiring all railroad cor
p%oratlons doing business in the state
to maintain general offices within the
state: two bills prohibiting railroad or
other corporations from using money
or transportation in elections in any
manner, and other bills more or less
directly affecting the railroads. OF
these, judging from the present tenn
per of the legislators, there will be an
anti-pass law, a 2 Or 2h-cent maxi
mum fare law and a reciprocal demur-
rage law enacted and doubtless minor
legislation along the lines indicated.

Correspondents Warned.

Never since the Louisiana lottery
proposition was up in 1891 has there
been so much feeling among news
paper correspondents themselves and
against most of them by the members
of the legislature. A few days ago
the senate served notice on the press
representatives that correspondents
must DE very circumspect in what
they send out and this probably has
fed the flame. as none of the CORE
spondents like such a yelled threat as
muzzling the press.
In addition to the friction between
correspondents and legislators there
is a war On between the correspond
ents and few of them will speak to
each other, while roasts in their pa
Ders are frequent. The recess has
given the boys time TO write up some
inside history" as filters and it is
likely that both houses may attempt
to sit IN the representatives of papers
hostile to the majority in each house
when the session reconvenes.
The 2-cent fare bill has passed the
house after several futile attempts to
amend it. Representative Buttz took
a violent shy at the measure and
moved to make the rate az cents.
Its adoption was defeated. Represen-
tative White then moved to strike out
the provision permitting passes to the
railroad commission. but lost. An
amendment providing for immediate
surrender by Legislators of their free
passes was also defeated.

Pleasing to Insurgents.

The appointment of B. F. Spaulding
OF Fargo to the vacant supreme court
%Judgeship gives great satisfaction to
the insurgent Republicans, who have
insisted upon his preferment. The ap-
polntment is received by the stalWarts
With %equanimity as part of the result
OF the late election, though they would
have preferred the selection of al
nos any n else. Some of the Dem
ocrats would have preferred the ap-
polntment of a Democrat, but recog-
nlze the fact that the governor had
to divide the patronage with the in
surgents, to whom he owed his cleo
ton. Considerable capital is expected
10 be made of his appointment owing

Politics in Reapportionment.
The matter of the election of a
united States senator WI years from
now Will enter largely into the prep
aration of the several reapportionment
bills which will be before the legisla-
ture this winter. While it is probable
that a primary election law will pass
which Will provide for the nomination
OF senators by the direct vote of the
people it is evident that there will be
several candidates for the Republican
nomination and it is unlikely that any
one will receive a majority of all the
votes cast. That would make ii a free
light in the joint assembly and for
that reason the number of votes in the
assembly for each of the several as
pirants will largely depend on the
way the state is apportioned. Besides
the question of the election of United
States senator there is the natural
division between the Republicans and
Democrats and the division between
the several portions of the state. Any
kind of a fair reapportionment will re-
duce the proportion of membership in
the eastern part of the state mate
rally.

CARDINAL PLAYER
NO GAIN FOR
BERKELEY

Athletes and followers of athletics
at Stanford University are much ais
turbed at the failure of A A Molnno,
the crack football player, TO return
Their present unhappy state or mlno
has not been helped any by the adol-
tional Information that the athlete VINO
formerly wore the cardinal and fougne
like a demon on the gridiron TO sub
due the hosts from Berkeley has de-
serted the Palo Alto institution and
enrolled under the colors of the enemy.
Molino was able TO keep UP with
his undergraduate work while the old
game of football was in vogue, but
when the faculty forced The students
TO engage in the English sport the
clever athlete could not keep the pace
Post season games and the strain of
sport resulted in his falling below
the standard set by the everwatchful
scholarship committee.
The disappointment of the cardinals
is in a degree soothed. however, by
the fact that while Molfino may wear
the blue and gold uniform in practice
games, he will not buck the forces OF
Stanford in any intercollegiate contest.
BY the rules Of the intercollegiate
a agreement a transfer from another uni
versity is not eligible to compete until
after he has been registered student
of the new university for one year.
This makes Molfino ineligible for the
football season of 1907 and by the time
another year rolls around Molfino will
have graduated. He was a member of
the 1897 class at Stanford and was
TO graduate at the end of the
spring semester. He viii be slightly
impeded by his transfer and loss o.
studies. but should take his degree next
May at the latest. While Molfino can
not play with the blue and gold ath-
letes, neither could he have taken part
in Stanford activities next fall, due to
the intercollegiate agreement. The
pact calls for six months continuance
at either university in case
the student is dropped by the faculty
for any reason.
While MoIfino was known to be a
senior il was thought possible that he
would return after the completion of
his four-year course 10 complete his
studies at the Paio Alto school. He
was a bulwark OF strength to either
a Rugby or an American football team
and his loss wiz leave a vacancy hard
TO fill at Stanford. He was the lightest
center that has played intercollegiate
American ball and in the game of 1905
put up a star exhibition He played
on his freshmen team in that capacity
and won Iaurels on his FIRST appearance.
Last season he played in the front rank
OF the serum with great precision and
aggressiveness.
