The two sta tutes, while operating In harmony, were fundamentally separate and distinct. Railroads Censed to Report. However, when in 1S9S the act creating a railway commission was repealed, for some unexplained rea son all the railroad corporations ceased filing annual reports to the secretary of state, evidently upon the presumption that the act requiring reports had also been repealed. It seems clear that this was a mis taken presumption, for in "the code prepared by the late C. B. Bellinger, United States Judge for this district, and W. W. Cotton, general counsel in this state for the O. R. & N. com' pany, they Incorporated sections 5122 and 5124, inclusive, of the law requiring the filing of railroad re ports. These sections are found In the second volume of Bellinger and Cotton's code, and It is apparent tnat m uio opinion 01 tnese eminent j lawyers the ,act Is in effect.
