MILLER'S
RAILROAD
BIL.LPASSED
Commission Enlarged
and Combined With
the Public Utilities
Commission

Columbia. Feb. 3333.-Without q
single voice in opposition, but after
long aud somewhat sensational
debate. the house of representa- :
tives Wednesday night voted unanl-
mously in favor of the so-called
Senator Miller railroad commission
bill and sent it TO third reading.
where it is apparently safe on its
way to become law. The bill
would enlarge the railroad COM
mission to seven members. the
four additional to be elected by
the legislature. with the three pres
ent members to hold till their tcrms
of office expire.
The debate in the house We'd
nesday night was Oil various
amendments offered in turn by
Representatives NcJnneS and Bar
nett. One of Mr.. McInneS amend :
nlents provides that the railroad
commission shall meet at least once
a month. With special meetings cali
cd by the chairman at the request
of at least two other members.
Another Mc1nncs amendment
provides that the commissioners
shall receive not more than ten dol
lars day for the days tho COM
mission is in session. with travel
l.expenses added.
Of the several Barnett amend
vides that the commission regulate
scrtice and rates furnished by ali
public utilities Of tho state. An
other Barnett amendments adopted
provided that d tax shall be levied
against the railroads and public
utility corporations for support oi
Of the commission. Just as the rail
road commission is now financed
by the railroads.
AN amendment that caused q
most unusual legislative fight va:
one t. continue the present present
commissioners in Office and also tC
continue the present public utilities
commission in office. to act Jointly
with the present railroad commits
s;oners, but the seventh member OF
The, commission to be elected by the
lesislature The house voted fot
this amendment aad was on the
verge of putting on the parliamen-
tary, clincher. when Representative.
Hughes made speech against it
arguing that the amendment would
be lesislatiug the present utilities
commissioners into Office. where the
constitution and the ncv bill have
to do with the railroad commission
and provide for territorial repre-
scntation. one member from each
congressional district. Reprcsen
tative Sapp made a strong speech
along the same line. and whcrcbJ
the house had passed the amend
lnent by a vote Of 90 to "a. it re-
considered that action and. revers-
ing itself. killed the amendment by
a, vote of SIS to sc.
An amendment was also adopt
ed to the bill to eliminate any
amount Of money for financing tho
commission. this being left to the
appropria lion bill.
When thc bill becomes law. il
will mean the election by til" pres
ent general assembly of four rail
road commissioners.

OF HEART
Resignation of Sena-
tor Christensen as
Chairman Of t h c
Finance Committee
Brings Tax Question
to a Focus

Columbia. Feb. ga complete
change OF. heart seems to be COM
ing over the state Senate, following
the resignation from the chairman
ship of the finance committee Of
Senator Christensen. due to the fact
that the majority Of the people
OF the state agree with Senator
Christensen in his position as to
the tax reform program. judging
from expressions made privately
and in the public prints, as we'll rs
from various platforms and i'll vari-
ous political and legislative assem-
blies. Tile resignation Of the Beau
fer, senator from, the chairman
ship OF the important finance COM
mittee brought. the situation to a
focus, With public gaze eentered on
the senate With burning fierceness.
One. strong eTidepee of the
change OF the Senate's heart was
the action. taken Tuesday night
when the upper branch fecomnit-
ted the luxury tax bill to the finance
committee. Of which Senator Gross
Is the new chairman. There was
some objection. to the recommit-
aient. but this was overcome. The
former unfaverable report of the
finance committee on this bill was
taken as omen Of its certain defeat.
The omr,itment is taken to
mean that the committee may now
report it differently. possible IA
Vorah]y-.
Within receEt dars the attention
cf. the stats. has been called in
various ways to the fact that the
House passed the, halt. dozen or
more big revenue producing. bills.
which make up the 1872 tax re-
form program and fhat this pro
.eram. was. meeting strong epposi-
Ion in the Senate. so@ strong that
one Of the bills. ;:le hSiro-electric
tax proposal. has already been kill
ed .by the Senate, Influenced no
aou.,t 10y stropg and antspoken
shbby. against the bill.-z which was
carried on fer many weeks
There is now talk Of lc-intro-
duerien in the House OF the bill to
