IRWIN BILL TO THE FRONT
RECENT COURT DECISION RE-
WIVES INTEREST IN MEASURE.
Would Repeal Section of Law EN-
towering Dismissal of Railroad
Commissioners by Governor.

SOIlInlSSIOHeES ny NONcThOI'
ATLANTA, Ca, March 21.-It is
not unlikely that one of the first bills
which the house of representatives
will be called upon to pass on its con-
vening next June is the Irwin bill
repeating section 2185 of the civil
code of 1895, which provides for the
removal of railroad commissioners by
the governor
This bill was introduced into the
senate by Senator j. R. Irwin of Daw-
son, and was unanimously adopted by
that body. 1t then went to the house,
was referred to a committee, dis
cussed there and reported unfaVora-
bly,, AS 1t has received the endorse
ment of the senate, however, it is
still live measure, and will be up
to the house for action when that
body meets next summer
There has been much comment in
political and legal circles here on the
wide sweep Of power allowed to the
governor in suspending a railroad
commissioner by the supreme court
decision in the McLendon case hand
ed down last week. One prominent
man, who is not yet willing to have
his name used in connection with the
matter, said today;
LAS I understand the courts In
depreciation of the law there is no
limit set upon the governors power
in dealing with the railroad commits
sion. He has full authority to re-
move any or all of that body on any
reasons he may assign and at any
time he may see fit.
while such a contingency is hard
ly likely a governor so minded could
remove all three of the commission
ers to be elected this year immedi-
ately on their taking their seats, and
could replace them with commission
ers of his own. To give any man the
power to set aside the will of the
people by throwing out of Office men
duly elected by them on any reason
he may assign is very dangerous
power to say the least of it. A COM
mission which must be subjected to
such control as that is no better than
no control at all, and unless the act
of 1879, as interpreted by the SUI
preme court, be amended or repealed
we might as well abolish the commits
sion"
The man quoted above attempted
no criticism of the courts decision.
They had exercised their preroga-
tive in declaring the law, and it was
law. However, he thought that the
courts decision had proved it to be
a very bad law, and that it should
be changed as early as possible.

TO See Officials
JOINT OWNING OF B. & M.
To Be Discussed with the Grand Trunk
Men-That Portion from White
River Junction to Boston Is
Meant.

Boston, July lf-Tne belief that Bos-
ton vii eventually be the principal Az
lantic coast terminal Of the Grand
Trunk railroad nas received great inn
petus within the past "A hours, several
things occurring within that brief period
OF time to add credence to the idea.
In the first place, the commonwealth
Of Massachusetts, granted the Grand
Trunk railroad right of way through a
portion Of the state, between Palmer and
the Rhode Island line.
Secondly, the Boston chamber Of com
merce. anxious to increase the trans
portation facilities Of the New England
metropolis, has sent to Montreal James
J. storrow, former president Of the
chamber, and d. o. Ives, the chambers
transportation expert. Messrs. storrow
and Ives will see the principal officials
OF the Grand Trunk railroad in an effort
to induce them to make Boston the
coast terlnin az well as Providence,
which, under plans already laid down,
had been selected as the coast terminal
point of the road.
Another significant development Of the
past "a hours was statement made by
Governor Eben s. Draper at a meeting
Of the chamber Of commerce, following a
trip Of inspection around the harbor
docks. Whether the governors remarks
referred to the Grand Trunk railroad is
not definitely known, but in view Of the
activity Of the Canadian road in getting
a location through a part Of Massaenu-
setts, It was believed BY many Of the
governors hearers that his remarks
must certainly refer to the Grand Trunk
The governor, during the course of his
address, said;-
Il have every reason 10 believe !

short time the completion Of an arrange
ment with great business interest in
this state for taking over for use the
great commonwealth pier. with large
amount Of land loca ted Immediately TO
the rear OF ii at very large annual
rental. Verbal agreements have been
entered into which show this transaction
can be carried through and the common
wealth pier and the land back Of it win !
be leased to one of the great railroad
interests at a rental which viii give to
the state some 100000 annually for a
period Of thirty years.
The eoumonwealth pier consists Of
zhree great docks on the South Boston
zide Of the harbor, so situated as to
furnish excellent railroad facilities for
tie moving Of freight and passengers.
President Roosevelt said that Messrs.
storrow and Ives would discuss with
President Hays the possibility Of what
s considered the most satisfactory solu-
2|6n Of the problem, namely, "the prac-
Eica joint ownership Of the Boston &
Maine railroad between White River
junction and Boston, double tracking It
and developing 1t generally in such
way as to handle easily the resulting
increased volume of traffic. This ar
rangement would bring the Grand Trunk |
to somerville, where connections could /
be made by way Of the Grand Junction |
railroad to East Boston, where the state
is about to enter upon plan Of modern
dock construction"
