The neceSry amendment vas SOOI made and Caldwel mo\ed that the committee . rise wIth the reeommcndaton that the bill do pass a amended. The motion was the signal for an energetic debate.

Caldwel raid that he was surprised to learn that any senator could be found who would be willing to defend the iniquitous business or the grain gamblers. lie declared that nearly every city and town of any consequence - sequence In the state hail been Invaded by representatf'es of these alleged commission houses and In nearly every one ' of those towns could be foduti largo numbers of men who had been ruined by gamblIng In grain.

Pope made an elaborate argument against the whole bill. lie sa.ll that tie bill proposed - posed to convict men guilty of no crime whatever of the crhle' ) . gambling.

ThE most or the commIssionfirms doing business In the larger cites of the state were oem- bels of the Doart of Trlde In ChIcago All their transactions with : thelr patrons were made on the basis of written and signed con- tracts. I Is chargell that the business of buying and selling grain on margins Is purely fictitious , and that no grain ever changes hands. 'fho senator granted thal Il might br true hint In the majority of canes the gain dId nol change bands. But every transaction between these commission house Is based upon written and signed contracts , and In each and every case the buyer or seller may Insist upon the actual delivery of time grain. Sloan slJole upon the legal aspects of the bill. lie said that the Nebraska supreme court hall In three separate cases decided positively that the contracts referred to by POlle were gambJlng contracts , and could not bo enforeet by law. lie thought the legIslature Islaturo might wel follow In 1 mater In which the supreme court hal\ taken the Inl- , . , tlatlve , and place upon tIme statute hooks a i law fixing a penaly for the Ilarlellutol In business . an Illegal !
