Conor af CmmT dal aid Cttrt Stmts -a!ter-whea tho oppowftlerffycVgraat- Ing tho governor unduo appointing powor in tho creation of tho commis sion shows Its hand. Already thoro has been a serious and apparently unbrenchablo split In tho Joint commltteo on railroads of tho two branches of tho assembly, notwithstanding it was understood and glvon out that a compromlso had boen reached upon tho mannor of tho creation of tho commission, by giving tho govornor tho powor of ap pointing tho original mombors of the commission, and tho granting of tho concession of tho railroad that they should thereafter becomo eloctlvo by tho people, but at loaBt four mom bors of tho Joint committed have "bucked tho trnceB," and havo UnoJ up to fight it out to tho bitter end beforo thoy will concodo a singlo pplnt. Thoso four nro Jones of Pell: nnd Lincoln, Holt of Linn and King of Harney and Malheur, of tho houso, and Senator Nottingham of Multno- inuii, oi mo sonnio, ana mo entire blame for tho bolt Is heaped upon tho shoulders of Senator Notting ham. It has been understood all- along that Representative Jones was stand ing out strong for leaving tho ap pointing power in tho hands of tho state board, and would not give In ,to tho will of tho majority to give jt.he govornor tho exclusive right to namo mo ursc commission,, out it was announcod that a compromise bad been reached to tho effect that the governor should be permitted to name the personnel of the commis sion first off, and then mako tho mem bershlp oloctlvo, as follows; The term of one member to expire in 1908 and tho other two In 1910, anl it was expected that a report to this effect would bo handed in on Mon day. . Such Is not to bo the case, how ever, since Jones, King and Holt have prepared a majority report of the bouse committee, find havo al ready passed it Into tho desk amend ing the first section of tho bill to pro- I vide for tho appointment of tho com I mission by the state board, governor, secretary of state and stato treasur er, one from each of tho two con gressional districts and other from I tho stato at large; not more than two ui iuu tuuiuiisaiuuers 10 do 01 one ,iu llitlcal party; two to go out and the i vacancy filled by election by the peo ple In 1908 and the third in 1910. In preparing this report, however, the members of the committee got Senator Bingham's bill, senate bill No. 129, confused with Chapin's bill, Bose bill No. 2, wakh are Identical ft&Bntll mohut when-ho lnBlBlt ed thnt'. two of tbcm inuat bo nllowcd to hold until 1910, I agreed with oth er Republican members of tho houso that ho was, asking too much, nnd thnt I would stay with thorn In cur tailing that power. "I havo agreed with Mr. Teal, Mr. Chapin and Mr. Gcorgo M. Corn wall and other advocates of tho bill on Its main principles, but I diffor with them on tho details. Thcso gen tlomon do not think thevpcoplo cau bo trusted I do. I havo abiding faith In tho wisdom and Integrity of tho Republican party, I havo fought Its battles for 33 years and havo novor been ashamed of It. I will do what I can to protect It now from falling Into tho trap set by Its ono mles. I am for tho Chnpln bill. It must bo passed by Republican votes. It ought to bo executed by Republi can hands and brains. If that bo treason, call mo guilty." . SECOND TRIAL OF SHEA agrood botweon counsel that tho names bo unmentloned.
