sp,ciai Despatch 10 THE New YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
Albany, March 10.
The Governors transit bill in COM
pleted form was placed on the desks
of Senators and Assemblymen late to-
day. The big measure. designed to cor
rect the corporation abuses OF the last
decade is now formally before the
Legislature.
According to the legislative rule, the
bill should lay ON the desks OF mem
bers for three days before being called
out for passage. Under the order of
general rules the majority might speed
up action and get to a vote Monday
or Tuesday, hut such a course will
not be taken, as to rush the measure
through would give the opposition an
opportunity TO cry fraud
The vote may be reached next week
To-day. tomorrow and Monday will
cover the three day provision. An ex-
ira day may be required for engross-
ing the BILL which can be accomplished
under rush orders in one day, so that
possibly the bill will go to vote on
Wednesday If there is any hitch the
vote will be taken the following week
Use of Force Not Necessary.
Party caucus will not be required in
either house for passage OF the measure
IN the opinion of the Republican leaa-
ers. In neither house is there any in
- TT.
majority managers asserted to-day that
II would not be necessary TO resort
TO the caucus to get the votes needed
for passage. The opposition has been
dwindling from the start and has now
reached the low point.
Gov. Miller is keeping his hands Off
He is not moving finger to drive any
Republican member into line for his
transit policy. Having made his recon-
mendations. the Executive is leaving
the decision on what is TO be done en-
tirely with the Republican leaders
That is for the gentlemen on the
next floor to decide the Governor
has said repeatedly to all who have
gone to him for changes and amend
n1ents. He has listened to all argu-
ments. but referred the points raised
TO the committees OF the Senate and
Assembly.
Duggan Keeps Up Fight.
Senator Dusgan. the only New
York Republican member OF the Sem
ate openly fighting the bill. issued
his second statement to-day, charging
the enactment OF the bill will con
snmmate the greatest stock gambling
steal IN the financial history OF Amer
lea He attacked the motives OF his
colleagues and asked:
Why was the traction trust willing
10 spend 10000 in 1919 for the Carson
Martin bill? Why Is the traction trust
undoubtedly willing to equal or double
this sum to get the same legislation
this year?"
Tremendous profits viii be made in
the rise in value of traction stocks.
Duggan said. and he asked who would
profit by this steal Answering his
own question. the Senator charged
brat the big contributors TO the Miller
campaign fund last autumn would bene-
fit. He named the largest holders OF
Brooklyn Rapid Transit seven per cent
