The bill. as passed by the house, con-
tafns a little joker which has escaped
some. The bill provides for license
fee Of $1,000 for a contest of more than
20 rounds, and ; per cent Of the gross
receipts where the bout is to be 20
rounds or less. The money so collected
upon this plea for financial help on
the roads many Of the members no
doubt voted for the bill But how much
will actually be realized from these
contests2 In all probability, should the
F1ynn-J ohnsOn fight be pulled off at
Las Vegas next July, It will not last 20
rounds, and there goes the big $1,000.
A Powerful Committee.
The committee on ways and means
has administered its first rebuke to
recaIcitrant member Of the house. The
committee on ways and means IS COM
posed OF 19 Republicans, three pro
Rressiye" Republicans and eight Demo-
Gratis. The majority OF this committee
controls and the committee Is supposed
TO vote as unit on whatever the ma
jority decides Mr. TOOmbs several
days ago introduced a bill providing
for exemptions for the heads OF faml-
lies, which bill was in every sense OF
the word a just and equitable measure.
It was referred TO the judiciary COM
mittee. which reported it to the house
with q recommendation that 1t pass.
In the debate on the BILL one little
amendment was proposed by Nj Rogers
This was taken I'D by several mem erS
OF the committee on ways and means
and the result was that a motion BY
John Baron Burg prevailed and tns
bill was recOmmitted to the commit
tee on ways and means. 1t was by tnat
committee reported with the recon-
mendatiOn that 1t be tabled indefinite
", and the report Of the committee
prevailed.
How Committee Works.
Mr. TOOmbs has now been shown by
this magic committee that he has no
right to. have an opinion Of his own;
his mind must, If he wants any legis-
lation be Just as this committee says
II should be. Mr.. TOOmbs was a mem
Der of the investigating COMMITTEES
which heard the testimony in the
bribery charges before the house anc-
along with Messrs. Rogers, Downs
Tully. Smith, Chrisman and Gage,
voted the accused guilty as charged
When John Baron Burg moved that
the resolution OF the house Temporal
rily unseating the accused be rescinded,
Mr.. TOOmbs was vehement in his an
in his remarks against such a move,
he was repeatedly interrupted by mem
bers opposed to his side OF the Ques-
ton. and was by the speaker raped
loudly to take his seat But he was
game, and finished what he had to say.
He has now received his first slap. He
will have another one in a few days.
or by the end Of the session He has
q bill in the hands Of the ways and
means committee asking that the nor
NAL school, to be established at some
point in the eastern portion of the
state be located at Clayton. This bill
wasintrOduced at the beginning Of the
but as IL carries an appropriation, IL
was referred 10 ways and means on
the organization Of that cOmmitte by
speaker Baca.
To All Powerful Committee.
This committee dominates all legis-
1atiOn- When named, the speaker threw
defiance at the house by declaring
When this committee reports, its re
port shall be accepted, whatever 1t may
be; il IS supreme; It is composed Of
