DIES MONIES. March O.-(specal. THE
doctors and lawyers had a tilt in the SEN
ate today over the anti-pass bill The
lawyers won and the bill was passed. The
senate committee had made changes in the
bill so that a railroad company could issue
passes TO one lawyer in each county ex-
cept where there are superior courts or
where there are division stations not county
seats, and also that there might be issued
passes to two doctors in each county.
Senators Elerick and Mates championed
a movement to remove the discrimination
and put the lawyers on a par with the
doctors-two In each county. Senators
Young and DeArmand opposed. This
brought out some sharp queries as 20 why
the doctors should oppose giving the law
yers the same measure of discrimination
as themselves. on roll call the lawyers
won. and IL was decided that two should
have passes in each county.
A number Of other minor amendments
were made to the bill and Il was passed.
When the vote was finally taken the
senate voted unanimously for the bill.
House Works slow.
The house today made slow work.of legis-
lation by amending bills till there was
nothing left and then sending them back
to the committees to have them patched
up again. This was done with the bill to
regulate corporations known as the Peter
son senate bill, and was done with the
house bill to prohibit candidates for po-
liuoal offices giving anything, including
cigars and drinks, in exchange for votes.
The latter provided that candidates must
file a detailed statement Of their campaign
expenses with the auditor OF the county
I'm which they reside, and the amendment
provided that the auditor should burn these
at the end Of one year. II was asserted
that the auditors ONCE would soon be
overcrowded with such statements and the
friends of the bill asserted that the having
of the statements on record would be a
deterrent to violation of the law.
The Gillilland bill. providing that express
officers and all other places where liquor
is dispensed c. o. d. must pay a mulct
tax, was discussed and amended and then
sent to the judiciary committee to have It
patched up again.
The house passed a bill providing that
street car companies shall allow interurbsns
to use their tracks and equipment for ter
minals and providing that II the street
car company and the interurban cannot
agree as to the compensation the railroad
commission shall fix the amount.

the case. So the bill has been finally dis.
