in-
troducing
his
amendment
said, —Mr.
Chairman.
It has
been
seggested
to me
that possibly
the limiting of the
Commis-
sion
to five members
will not carry
out
the
purpose
of
the bill; if it is limited
to
five
members,
there
might be a vote
of
three
to two and
the action
of the
Com-
mission
might not
be
satist
ctory
to
a
great
many
people.
I think it might
be
better
to leave
the
fixing of
the
Com-
mission
to
the
Governor.
I offer
this
suggestion
and
the future will show
the
mecessity
for it.
It was also
put
to the vote and
carried
that this amendment
be furthered.
