QUESTION"
The bill introduced by Representa-
tive Wheeler to prevent the eXpector-
alton Of tobacco products" in passen-
ger coaches and cars. except where
cuspidors are provided, was passed. a
similar bill in the senate was defeated
because it did not confine itself to
tobacco products" and it was held
that its scope might be extended to
cover anything from orange peel TO
dead men" and thereby work a
hardship on the travelling public.
The house passed unanimously
Oshant's bill empowering the board of
railroad commissioners. upon COM
plant, to investigate all express rates
charged by express companies within
the state of Kansas, and directing such
investigation to be made. and to
change any rate or rates or classical
ton and substitute therefor a reason
able rate or rates or classification.
On motion the house took a recess
until o. m. with the understanding
that at that hour it would go into COM
roittee Of the whole for the considera-
ton Of bills under general orders, but
only to include such bills as are purely
Of a local nature or of MINOR impor-
lance. unless the author, if absent,
