CALL HEADQUARTERS, CHAMBER
OF COMERCE BUILDING, SACRA-
MENTO, March 11.-Tomorrow morn
ing should see the passage by the SEN
ate of the Wright railway rate bill by
unanimous vote. The much debated
measure would have been disposed of
tonight and sent on its way to the as
sembly had it not been for a couple
OF typographical errors.
The bill was referred to iocularly to-
night as the Wright -Caminetti bill,p
Tor the reason that the Amador states
man had finally approved it after ex-
haustlng every parliamentary tactic in
an effort to bring it into closer con-
Iormity with the defeated Stetson bill.
Dnring the afternoon the irrepressi-
bic Caminetti fought desperately but
unsuccessfully to tack four more
amendments to the bill. He touched or
a lot OF ''gun cotton"
Caminetti's first amendment was sub
mtted for the purpose of broadening
the definition of transportation COM
panies. These were defined in the
Wright rate bill as railroads operated
Tor commercial purposes. Claiming
that this was dangerous definition
winch might be interpreted as referring
to freight and not to passenger trains.
Caminetti wanted to add the words ''all
common carriers
A roll call defeated the amendment
by vote of 20 to IA
Caminetti then insisted that the bill
should expressly confer upon the rail-
road commission the right to make
rules and regulations for the govern
ment and transportation of persons and
property
Another explosion of gun cotton;
good democratic campaign fodder, but
unconstitutional" said Wright.
The amendment was defeated.
The same fate befell Caminettis
other amendments. one of which dl-
rected the railroad commission to
classify and subdivide freight and to
fix rates for all classes and subdivi-
sions, while the other directed Stranspor-
tation companies to file with the COM
mission agreements concerning freight
and passenger rates and divisions of
business between competing roads, at
the same time requiring that the COM
mission accept, alter or abolish these
ARRANGEMENTS.

least 10 counties. and which must be
signed by at least 1 per cent and not
more than 10 per cent of the qualified
voters of his party in the state, each
signer agreeing TO support the candi-
date.
The principal argument in favor of
the district plan is that under it each
district will have its wishes carried
out by its representative. For instance,
at the last primary election in Mis-
souri,, Folk carried 81 out of the 30
senatorial and assembly districts, but
Stone received majorities in ST.. Louis
and Kansas City large enough to over
come the combined majorities for Folk
in the country districts. Had the dis
trict plan been a part of the Missouri
system Folk would have been the new
senator from Missouri.
If the senate majority caucuses to-
morrow on the amendments, the mat
ter of receding can be up to the assem-
bly, before adjournment tomorrow

the hands of conference committees it
