Senate Kills Bill on Soldiers Home and Debates Railroads
The senate killed the soldiers home bill with a July referendum. A reconsideration failed and the bill was postponed for six months. Railroad measures gained favor as schedules would be overseen by commissioners and finances restricted. A wage payment bill for railroad workers passed, and a convicts inquiry reported good camp conditions. The public school fund distribution and a technology school funding issue sparked debate. The house also passed a bill to require prompt wage payments to railroad employees. The Gober committee exonerated Judge Jober and urged uniformity in post trial motions, with a lengthy, contested report awaiting review.
