WORKING on the Railroad Bill.

AS soon as the house bill had been
reported to the Senate and referred to
the committee on constitutional
amendments Tuesday, the Democrats
secured an adjournment and the sub
committee of the caucus met to frame
a railroad bill. The railroad bill seeks
to make the present law constitutional
and to fix the salaries of the commits
sioners who will succeed the present
commissioners at $4,000. provision
requires the railroads to move live
stock and perishable goods a, the rate
of at least ten miles an hour from
point of original point of destination.
The commission will not give any
power to fix rates, but will have the
right to adjust discriminatory rates,
subject to review by the courts. At
torney General Barnett was called into
the meeting and asked his opinion as
to the constitutionality of the provis-
ion, and the attorney general finally
declared that the provision must be
changed to stand the test. He ruled
that too many judicial powers had
been given to the commission. The
measure. besides placing ban on re-
bates and all Determinations In the in
terest of favored shippers. forbids the
railway to discriminate between local
tiles. fiFt-lI9-Ei t
Referendum Bill Passes the House.
With only two Democrats voting
against it the initiative and referen-
dunn, like the Oregon law. was passed
on third reading Tuesday and went to
the Senate Wednesday with an emer-
gency clause.
The vote on third reading of the ini-
tiative and referendum was 81 ayes
and eleven noes. The emergency
clause brought the noes" two votes,
but they were changed before the vote
was counted, making the vote upon
this the same as that on the bill.
Those who voted against the bill
were Republicans with the exception
of Speaker Lubers and Representative
Hits of Denver. The Republicans vot-
ing mo" were: Amador, Baldwin,
Boyle, Gardner, Hayden. Packard, Par
rish, Teller and Trindle. Those absent
and not voting were Garcia and

HAVENS, DEMOCRAT, IN
REPUBLICAN HOUSE SEAT
Is Sworn in as Successor of the Late
James Breck
Perkins.

James S. Havens OF Rochester, n. Y.
was sworn in by Speaker Cannon this
morning as successor to the late Repre-
sentative James Brock Perkins, There
weren't many democrats on the floor at
the time, but those that were on hand
made up i'm noise what they lacked in
numbers. Representative Henry of Texas
made a point of no quorum during the
reading of the journal. with the idea OF
getting a full turn out before Ravens
took the oath. But he was ignored by
Speaker Cannon after the two had in
dulged in a lively exchange of personal
tiles
After Mr. Ravens credentials had been
read Representative William SuIzer. the
dean of the New York dele cation in the
House. led the new member up the aisle
to the well in front of the Speaker s
desk.
Mr. Ravens was nervous as hen
ON a hot griddle. He stuck his hand up
/ I'm the air a minute or two before the
Speaker began to read the oath, hddled
with his watch chain, all the buttons on
his coat and finally turned around and
smiled in a Observation-Disclosures
way at some of his friends on the demo-
cratic side.
The democrats yelled fiercely when the
new member. hanging on Suffers arm,
marched back down the aisle.
Then Mr.. Henry withdrew his ignored
. point of no quorum and the House
laughed.

ing to a standstill. The fact that travel
ing is increasing in a higher ratio than
the population Is accounted for by the
outward movement of the population. The
facilities which have been afforded in the
last five or six years have encouraged
people to live further af1eld. and conse-
quently to rely to a much greater extent
on trains, trans and Omnibuses. Few
people now live within q walk Of their
businesses. and If they do, they seldom
walk. This is a point which might have
been mentioned in this report. Ten years
ago people used to walk il they had only
a short distance to go, but now they
either take a taXicab or a motor bus, and
excuse themselves by the saving Of time
thus effected. The outward movement
Of tine population and the habit Of riding
for the shortest distances have, between
them, caught up the increased facilities
provided by the motor buses, the taxi
cabs and the electric tubes and the pro-
vision Of facilities has now ceased to in
crease at anything like the rate OF the
last six years. Railway enterprise is al
most at q standstill, and this Is not sur
prising. considering the heavy rates and
the unfair competition introduced by mu-
nicipal trans. But that tramway ex-
tension is also falling off Is more sur
prising. The widening Of the streets will
probably be the next direction in which
relief will be sought.

QUESTION OF HIGHER SALARIES

There was a hearing before the House
District committee today on the bill in
troduced by Representative Smith OF
Michigan. chairman OF the committee,
creating permanent retirement and PEN
sion fund for the local police and fire de-
partments. Among those who advocated
the measure were District Commissioners
Rudolph and Johnston, Maj. Richard syl-
vester. Sergt. Curry of the sixth precinct,
Private c. e. Smith of the second pre-
cinct, Fire Chief Wagner, and John
Kane, a fireman on the retired list
The policemen of the National Capital,

committee. are very much in favor Of
the legislation proposed. but want one
amendment made so that retirement will
occur automatically after twenty years
in the police department, instead Of
Twenty-Five years. as the Smith bill pro-
poses.
MAI Sylvester suggested that the meas
ure be favorably reported by the COM
mittee as it was introduced explaining
tnat the pension fund is not now suff1-
clent for the demands made upon it and
that there is often a delay i'm the pay
ment of pensions allowed
Fines Go to Fund.
At present the retirement fund Is
made uo of the Police Court fines AMI
the monthly assessments of policemen
and firemen. The Smith bill proposes
when the amount derived from these
sources proves insufficient that the Dis
trict may draw upon the licenses paid to

Under the bill the pensions proposed
range from $3.50 month for the chief of
police and chief of the fire department to
$50 month for privates
Sergeants, lieutenants and captains Of
police are underpaid at present, Sergt.
Curry told the committee.
"A sergeant gets only 1915 a month
more than a private" he said. "The
