mileage regulation. The reciprocal de-
murrage bill and that giving the railroad
commission more power have not yet been
reported.
An Important Measure.
It is expected by the senate that all
the railroad legislation that is now in
hand will be passed by Thursday and
that 1t will at once go to the house and
receive favorable action. The house COM
mittee has acted very promptly, having
reported favorably the bill to provide for
pa cent passenger fares.
An important measure Is that present
ed by Mr.. Lusk. in which ii is asked
that a commission be named to prepare a
Judiciary bill that will meet the require
ments of the state and give all the coun-
ties adequate court advantages. 1t would
have a commission of five lawyers named
to sit during recess, or after the adjourn
ment of the session, to prepare bill
that would be reported back to the leg
islature and from it that body could
make up a measure to meet the condi-
tons. These commissioners are to have
$500 each for their services.
1t is pointed GU that there is so much
confusion in the courts of the state that
ii would be impossible to get any gen.
eral scheme that would please all save by
this plan.
