During the discussion Senator
Walls declared that one OF the sena-
tors had admitted to him that.a "fim-

grouping the muskrat and squirrel
bills together, as neither bill could
have passed alone. Senator Ewing de-
MED that he had made the statement.
Senators Reinhardt and David both
claimed to be the author and peace

The Senate discussed informally the
courtesy of permitting House mem
bers to appear before Senate commit
tees in the interest of their measures.
A number of senators expressed the
opinion that this courtesy should be
granted before such bills are reported.
The discussion was caused by a diff
ference that has arisen between Presi-
dent pro TEN Marshall and Represen-
tative Mooney over the latter's bill to
compel railway corporations to file
stockholders reports with the secre-
tary Of state. The Mooney bill has
