The House early in the session went on record against an increase in rail- road passenger fare. A bill introduced by Mir. Armstrong of Conway, increas ing the rate to three cents a mile, and resolution accompanying it, that it be referred to ajoint committee of the House and Senate, before whom rep resentatiyes of the railroads might ap- pear and present their case, were lost
 The introduction of the measure at once brought forth storm. The reso- lution was opposed by Reigler, Belote, Bishop, Condray and Johnson, while Beeson, Wilson and Armstrong spoke for it's adoption, urging that it was on- ly a matter of common fairness to the railroads, who come in the attitude of petitioners. MT.
