Mr. West. patron of the bill which
seeks to correct the fee system OF the
State, was called up by the patron. He
stated that the bill had been passed
by several days ago because of the alb
sence of a member OF the senate. He
said that time was growing short and
that the measure would have to be
hurried. He asked that 1t be made
special order for Monday at 1890
O'Clock, and will then have the right
of way over other matters. There was
no objection to the motion of the SEN
ator who Is advocating the bill. This
bill is also in the house. but they are
long ways from becoming laws
Rolling Stock Bill
Mr.. Holt called up the Williams
rolling stock bill--that being the
measure which means taking of many
hundreds of thousands from the cities
of the State, giving about two-thirds
to the counties through which the
railroads pass, and making a saving to
the railroads of the remaining one
third.
He wanted to make it the special
and continuing order for Tuesday next
at 11:45 O'Clock, but when objection
was raised to giving that bill the right
of way over the Buchanan county land
grabbing measure. there was objection
to the move on the part of Mr. Royal
who declared that he favored the roll
ing stock bill.
1t was then that Mr. Holt made his
move to have the bill taken up next

was agreed to.
