Rhodes Proposition Is Prem iered 1 o Kay Measure . By House Committee The controversy over the Hen derson county road law propo sition terminated, for the present with House Committee on Public Roads and Turnpikes last Wed nesday afternoon, when the Rhodes bill received a favorable report and the Ray bill met with an adverse decision. Mr. Ray ad vocated the passage of his pro duction, while Messrs . Cannon and Rhodes opposed and spoke for the favorable consideration of the bill introduced by the lat ter. There was not a dissenting vote cast in reaching this con clusion and the Rhodes bill after wards passed the House without opposition. Mr. Rhodes had previously consentea to a re ference of his bill to the com mittee so it would be considered with the Ray bill when it reach ed the House,' and this act of f airnessi on his part was ap plauded by many members, win ning the representative from Henderson a number of new friends. However thend is not yet Thirteen days affords ample time for new propositions to be thrust forth, and I am informed some 4 4 a are in process ot construc tion."- , One-of the "old" bills lies peacefully on the table in the Senate and the other reclines resplessly in a ''pigeon hole" on the House side of the chamber, with an unfavorable report writ ten across its face. Under the rules of each house, if I am cor rectly informed, it will take a two-thirds vote, to recall either from its 'resting placer. It does not seem probably that the House will pass any .road bill over the protest of Mr. Rhodes, since it has already put itself on record in favor of the -measure he first presented. Bills of this character are not , considered political measures, anyway, and democratic representatives are disposed to consider tfie views of republican members upon mat sers of local significance. . It will be recalled that a synopsis of Mr. Ray's bill was published in the Hustler several weeks ago, without comment and after calling the attention of the peo ple to the provisions of the pro posed measure the writer anade the following statement edito rially; ' ' - . "Suggestions offered by this newspaper would be , miscon strued and the editor prefers to go over the matter in person with' the author of the bill, rather than appear to be after him "with a sharp stick" in the public prints. . And this course was pursued in a inenaiy ana conciliatory manner for two weeks. The un democratic feature of selecting a supervisor forfour years at a salary which would not be satis factory to the people was pointed out; also objection was made to the unusual powers with which said official would be vested but to no avail. And when petitions signed by hundreds of (the best democrats in the county, accom panied by letters beseeching me to oppose the passage of the bill, began to "pile in, I did not Continued on Editorial pape.
