WAIT FOR ROADS TO SHOW HANDS

(Continued from Preceding Pneel the house on motion Tor the sus- pension of the rules and the adoption of a resolution making the measure a special order for immediate consid- eration. Suspension of the rules called for a three -fifths majority When the vote came 61 members of the house favored the suspension of the rules and the immediate consid- eration of the bill, while 30 members voted against suspension of the rules. Therefore, 30 members were able to defeat the bill, although 61 had voted for it.
 Those favoring the measuse con- tinued their effort and, according to their statements, were able to con vert several who had voted with tho minority. About the time motion for the reconsideration of the vote was to be made, the senate adjourned. This had the effect of killing the bill as the maneuver in the senate oc- cured on the last day for the recep- tion of the bill by the senate. Understnnding openly Charged.
 It was openly stated that there was an understanding between op ponents of the burden of proof bill and the senate members who submit- ted the motion for immediate ad- journment.
 
 islature 1t was charged that large number of the members of the hce~e and senate had railroad connections. It was not possible to establish this fact because there is no law requir- ing legislators to make a record of their affiliations. The legislature of 1915 adopted a resolution requiring members to list their corporation con- nections but few members compiled with it.
 A section of the constitution re- quires all members of the legislature who have personal interest In any measure to disclose the fact and to refrain from voting. It Is not rec orded that any member of either the house or senate ever availed himselr of this opportunity to refrain from votinng.
 Rules Suspension Issue.
 It was in answer to q discussion of this section that Representative Werner told the house he was mem- Der of the board of directors of the Southern railroad. The suspension of the rules for the consideration Of tho burden of proof bill was the is- sue. Representative Werner stated that he knew of the section of the constitution, and that he did not be- lieve this section prevented him rom representing the people of Tusca- loosa. He then proceeded to vote against the suspension of the rules on the burden of proof bill.
 This general activity on the part of railroad representatives during the session of the legislature raised the issue as to what part they would att tempt to play in the campaign soon to begin. It is the first time since the memorable fight of 1906 and 1907 that whispers have been heard of po- litical activities of railroad represen- t0fiVeS
