Election April 28th, In the house Monday night the State Prohibition bill was fully dis cussed and passed, fixing April 28th as the time for the election. Several changes were made in the original bill. In the Senate the special order was the passenger rate bilL Burton of fered an amendment that after next January the corporation commission shall have full power to fix rates. Graham, in charge of the bill, said the State faced a condition and not a theory, and that after full hearing the committee on railways had re ported this bill. He declared he was willing to yield anything for the Democratic party. He opposed any preference of independently owned and operated railways as he thought the courts would not uphold this. He said the bill was drafted by the Council of State and not by himself. (It has been published as Graham's own bill). He opposed the section providing that the rate for any leased or otherwise controlled road shall be controlled by that railway which ope rates it. He declared that the rail way men were going to be a factor in this year's political campaign, and I hat if the rates were lowered so that their wages were cut the political complexion of North Carolina will be changed. He declared the railway agitation had, done good, as there is now better service and schedule than before the rate legislation. .
