torial force by authorizing janitor
for q group OF rooms in the basement
Of the capitol. The provision for one
for these rooms was Inadvertently
omitted from the Joint resolution.
The committee also appointed a spe-
cial committee consisting of Ring,
Berry and Kane on the work OF the
document editor and in order to- confer
with this new department In all cases
needing attention. This was done be-
cause the department is peculiarly the
creature Of this committee, which pre-
pared the bill and secured itE passage
through the legislature. The commit
tee also had the secretary Of the ex-
ecutive council before it as to soma
matters relating to the document edt-
tor department, in the way Of furnish.
Ing supplies for carrying out the in
tent Of the law. There was no dis
agreement in the committee as to the
scope and intent Of the law, but rec
ignition OF the fact the bill was some-
what disdgured before it got through.
The committee will later take up the
matter Of extra help in the automobile
department Of the state.
For the third or fourth time the CAL
mar branch line train service is on the
boards today for an airing at the state
house. Senator B. w. Newberry is
here to present the view Of the branch
line patrons. and Judge Henderson.
commerce counsel Is lined up with him
In the demand for adequate train
service. Attorneys for the Milwaukee
railroad are resisting the claims Of the
patrons.
The reason for the re-argument is
that although it was fully presented to
the board last year a majority-Qf the
present members have come to the
board since the argument was made.
The Caimar branch line case il de-
clared to be q straight and simple test
Of the power Of the state to require
what the state has declared to be ade-
quate passenger service on a railroad,
namely, two passenger trains a day
each way. There is not such service
now on the Calnar line. The people
living along the line complain. The
railroad company says there is not
business enough to pay cost >of an
other train. and presents the figures to
prove it. The patrons say that II the
trains were there and were run to ac-
commodate the business 1t would be
developed The railroad company in
sists that it cannot be compelled to
operate 4 train as a losing game and
no matter what the state law contains
about two trains a day being adequate
service 1t will not do to force a BUSH
ness that is losing.
In many other branch lines and
train service cases, and especially on
the Burlington road, there has been
agreement reached at some point with
out q test Of the power Of the commits
sion. An additional train was put on
the Van Wert-Shenandoah branch a
year or more ago as an experiment and
has been kept there.
