which cpmmltteA, ofthe legislature has
been of Arork dttrlng tho entire session
passed1 the senate' this afternoon . by a
voto ofSftf to tit
It was not expected that the bill
would como to a voto for several days.
but after the adoption Of committee
amendments and the rejection of all
amendments that wero offered from tho
floor the bill was put to a voto, and the
vote to sustain the committee was larger
than had been expected.
The bill' provides a highway commis
sion to classify all roads and supervise
road construction In every part of the
state.
The senate rejected the Dor n h bill as a
substitute, which bill contemplated that
districts should, be created for road work.
'Osteopaths ' Favor New Lnvr.
It develops that the SUI1 College of
Osteopathy Is In favor of a pending bill
In the legislature to create a board for
examination of practitioners In mechan
ical therapeutics and .tp-(lcensa-iiorson3
In this science. Tne mil creates an emua
rwwj.Jioard., rbt, without (itatc- expense,

include ''a ' three-year course In collesu
wotle. 'It, id declared that If thla becomes
the law It will largely supersede the law
as to osteopath.
Fight an Itinerant Merchants.
It transpires that there In to bo a des
perate effort on the part of marchants of
the state, by themsslvea and througn
commercial organisations to put an end
to Itinerant merchants who tako stocKa
of goods from place to place and 0"jr
thejn as "bankrupt stock" or wjth. other
Inducements. A bill to compel all such to
pay a heavy license Is before committees
and was yesterday much debated. Rep
resentatives of several organlrations ap
peared for the same. A peddlers' license
bill wes alio discussed.
..Permit .Competitive nntes.
Commercial organisations of the statu
are back of a )ill to authorize railroad
conlparilcs to make a competitive rat
regardless of the distance tariff of the
state at common points. It will perm.t
the raH'ona , having the . long haul be
tween ttvo competitive points to meet cno
lower rate of the railroad having tne
short haul. This Is possible In the stats
only where there Is a shipment passing
through outside territory, thus rnaxina it
an Interstate shipment.
Train Crew Bill Defeated.
Ths bill In the senate to tlx the num
ber of Persons wno snail consilium
train crew for handling "an raiiroaa
trains In the s.ta,te was recommended to
day for. postponement. It Is a bill de
signed by the railroad brakemen. It also
limits the length of a freight train. It
Is probable the senate will consider a
bill which will place the power with
the railroad commission to fix rules for
the number of persons to be regarded as
a train crew, after a full Investigation
and hearing on tlw subject. Members do
not believe the legislature has the In
formation on which to act Intelligently,
but that prosslbly the commission could
do so.
Seeking Compromise on Colleges.
A serious effort Is now being made to
effect a compromise of the controversy
over the state colleges and to leave the
n atter In such shape that while the ac
tion of the State Board of Kducatlon haa
not been distinctly disapproved, the
changes at the colleges Involved In their
order of last year will not be fully car
ried out. The committees have been
wrestling with the situation, but find It
hard to effect any compromise. The
enemies of the college board claim that
by reason of the .Injection of other Issues
Into the controversy they have been able
to get sufficient support for any bill
they may desire to pass.
I.ooVIdk Into rtrldae Methods.
The house committee on highways has
been making some Investigation Into tho
matter of letting of contracts for brtdgos
and finds that there Is a general Impres
sion among bridge men and others that
a combine exists by which the state la
divided as to territory and exorbitant
prices fcre exacted for brldger. The
committee has thus far been able lo
secure a very small amount of definite
Information, but will continue the probe.
