Sent down for concurrence
Mr. THOMPSON of Knox: Mr..
President, in the papers that came
from the House yesterday was one
relating to taxation of railroads, l
think. l do not recall the title, but in
the House it appeared to have been
moved to indefinitely postpone the
bill. | afterwards found that it was
done without reference to a commit
tee. Had l known it at the time l
should not have suffered it for a mo-
ment to pass unchallenged. In order
to correct what l think was probably
an error on the part of the Senate,
certainly an error on my part, SO far
as my individual feeling is concerned
that is virtually saying to a RESPONSE
BILE petitioner that we refuse to give
him a right to be heard. l do not
think that any member of this Legis-
lature. either Branch of it, would de-
ny that right to any petitioner how
ever humble. In view of that circum-
stance, and in view of the fact that /
desire to correct my own personal rec
ord at least. I move that the vote
whereby we voted to concur with the

Mr. FOLSOM of Somerset: Mr..
