With county seat relocation fights
at various stages of progress in sew
eral counties. four bills have been in
troduced in the house of representa-
tives looking to the settling Of these
affairs under different laws than those
existing at the present time.
Nine counties have prospective re-
moval fights on, each of them varying
from the others only in the degree Of
intensity and activity with which the
present county seats are being as
sailed.
The warmest fight is probably in
Franklin county. where the city Of
Franklin is seeking to take the hon.
ors bodily from Bloomington. The
matter was voted upon at the last

Wait discovered that H. r. SO. signed

of the secretary of state refers to the
state railroad commission The Of
fetal name OF the commission intended
TO be mentioned by the trainers of the
bill is the railway commission" The
bill in question requires railroads to
use standard sized cabooses. 1t is not
believed the incorrect name of the
commission mentioned in the bill will
have any effect on the validity Of the
measure. For scme reason the mem
bers of the commission object 10 being
called railroad commission. To some
this term conveys different idea than
the term railway commission.

All for Stockyards Bill.

The house passed the Taylor stock.
yards bill as amended and as accepted
by the house several days ago. One
vote only. Mckelvie of Lancaster, was
cast against the measure. There is
openly voiced suspicion against the
bill in the house because the Douglas
county delegation voted for it. II is
even said that n motion will soon be
made to set day for the cOnsidera-
ton of the Oils bill and that this bill
will also be passed through the house.
The fear is that with the sitting com
cnittee appointed in the senate the
Taylor bill will be allowed to die in the
committee and no stockyards lesisla-
ton be secured.
