DEMOCRATS "CHOKE" MINORITY MEMBERS (Continued from Fage One.) the legislature waa offered by Mr. Mock ett, which Is rrobably the first step of the minority to throw a few pieces of glasa In the path, of the democratic auto mobile. . , , '' j ' When the- Ianlgan resolution-. , was brought before the house. '. Nichols of Madison knowing that five minutes for each snesker waa Insufflcont time to present adequate argument, turned hl.j talk Into a humorous discussion of the resolution and the meaning of the word "amenable," which he said according to Wehnter meant to "drive aa cattle"' and therefore the railway commission shoul be driven as cattle by the attorney gen eral. Attack Casamlsslaa. Lanigan attempted to show that the railway commission waa working politics and that a evidence of that they had not consulted the new democratic attor ney general. "The railway commission Is Imbued by old republican hatred,'" said Lanigan. Morkett ssked that a letter prepared ' " " "-n'mlKpInn covering - the work of the commission might be read, but j ..,-n mm 'i rumble Insisted that tha time 1i taken out of Mockctt's five min utes. " . . : Mockett Informed the members that It would take mora than five minutes to read the letter and It would not be fair to take his time. A motion, waa made that the letter be read by the clerk and carried. People, Wise A ay way . Mockett In the short t'ms given him lambasted the democrats, mWg that a republican legislature bad been respon sible for the paaaage of the railway m m (anion art, the people had sanctioned it ami had had sense enough to keep denim rata off , of It since Its existence. He denlnd that tha railway commission was compelled to call on the attorney general union they wanted to. Mr. Trumble read a section of the atat utea which declared that It was the duty of the attorney general to aipear In all sulfa In which the state waa Interested, but Cronln read from tha constitution and also from the act creating the com mission showing-that the railway com mission did not have to call upon the attorney general unless In Its Judgment It waa deemed necessary. He thought It small politics to put In a resolution of the Lanigan nature. ' Iloffmrlater "Masi ' Up. Hoffmnlster, a democrat, ' who at times show very pronounced views "agin the government," scored the commission un mercifully. He thought they were ut terly unfit to draw down a salary for the work they were doing. Relshlck was also "agin' " th commis sion because. It waa not doing, In his esti mation, what It ought to do and doing many things he thought It ought not to do. It had bought mileage book out of It physical valuation appropriation when there was no provision for such an action. Mr. Reel Scored. , ( ReUner' went after the democratic at torney general hard. He wanted to know What he waa doing all this time. . "I have been to. his off Ire half a: dosea time's since I have been here and never can find him," said he, "and I have been told that he Is conducting his law practice up home Instead of giving his time to the 'state. ! If he waa tha caliber of an attorney which j tha railway commission desired to con duct Us legal business I feel sura that they would hire him, but they want good lawyers down there, and so they left him out." ' ' ; . ' .. Wkat Abaat Halleaf Mockett Just before adjournment sent up a resolution in which he called at tention to charges made that Arthur Mullen of -Omaha 'had ben lobbying around the legislature . and that tha record of the secretary of state's office showed that he waa not registered. . Tha resolution cited that Mullen at on time had .beeu attorney general of the state, but since that time It was reported that, he had served for seme harvester company at a big salary. He wanted the matter investigated and moved that committee, of five be appointed to Investi gate the rumors. Ths resolution went over one day under the rules.
