Regarding Legislative Matters

record against these specific measures"
The opposition to the plan Of placing
the matter in charge of a railroad COM
mission raises the objection that the
creation of such a commission was
Matched by several persons looking for
fat, easy jobs.
A bill is now being prepared to be
introduced in the Senats fixing a maxi
mum rate Of probably ten cents the ton
to the mile, one-half the present rate,
and the fixing Of the maximum
passenger rate at five cents.
New roads will not be compelled to
observe the maximum rates the first
year.
In addition to these maximums it is
intended to rave q railway commission
the power and authority to regulate,
adjust aud classify freight rates. This
bill it is expected will be introduced in
the Senate within the next week.
Prof. Romance Adams appeared be-
fore the Educational Committee for the
purpose of drafting a bill along the lines
suggested in the recent State Teachers
Association.
The report was current at Carson
Wednesday that the railroad lobbyists
in the employ Of the Southern Pacific,
Tonopah & Goldfeld and the Clark
roads have opened the sack and that
several members of the. Legislature have
been approached. A telegram was re-
ceived from President Brook of the
Tonopah railroad asking that nothing
be done on railway matters until he
had an opportunity to see and confer
with the Committee on Railroads.
A representative of the Powder Trust
called on Senator Boyd, who refused to
entertain their objections to his bill
regulating the handling of high explo-
sives. As the bill reads it calls for
each package of high explosive to bear
a label. giving the date of manufacture
and the formula of the explosive; it
also states that not more than a days
supply shall be allowed in a mine at
IN time and that none be stored near
a ~habitation, or where men are working
or where its explosion will endanger
life. There will probably be a strong
opposition to the bill from mine owners.
but the probability is that the bill will
pass without much opposition.
