A storm was prA0Maa Uto the constitutional conTcstta tonight over the corpora tion inftintott measure submitted by Om wacniUees on railroad and puba service corporations. As lrifte8 r the two committees it save tfce commission eupervisloh oer private corporations as well as railroada, public service corporations, which Lynch, of Graham county, de signated a "radicalism run riot." There was a sharp division among the BJBOcrats and the debate was acrimoBOus, both sides waging a sharp Vattle of words. Elllnwood, of CmUk, led the opposition and his motion, limiting the control of the ommission to pubMc service corporations carried 24 to 20. On motion of Cunlff oil companies were ladndod. There was also op position to the clause providing that the value of railroads as re ported for taxation may be used jn fixing their rates, but this pro- ision was sustained. Whea the clause fixing the salary of commissioners came( up. Ellin wood startled the convention by niorfae for an" amendment raising tberar7 from 53,000 to 3,000 on the ground that a high salary would remove the commissioner from poss ible dMtaation cf the railroads, on the aaiartaa remain at 3,000. . .flraawwd at the opening of the night m-sios urged the adoption of a rctloa of his corporation meas ure wwlrtag stockholders personally HaNe W the amount jtt tb par valoe af stock subscribed and un paid, kat fee was defeated. ErUlaveod suggested that a cer tain paragraph be cut out which provide for taxation of corpora tions oo the basis they report to the son-mission as their physical value oa which they make their rate. Jones, ot Maricopa, said he wanted to put railroads where they would Cor once be taxed some where Bear their value. He said Col. Randolph swore at the Maricopa county court house that his rail road the M. & P-, was worth 540,009 a mile and before the board ot taxation he said the valuation was 57000 a mile. Ellinwood said it was not necessary to apologize for CoL Randolph but that he knew a rnrui that wanted to pay taxes on the real value if other property did the same. He feared Jone3 was gghting a bugaboo or some thing that did not exist. However, the section rcmainea us reported. There will be a corporation com mission with elaborate power and B yenerous Jurisdiction. In gerenal corporation matter through Feeney, of Cochise, was" materially changed, nin Ruction relating to fellow serv ant liability was so v-orded through the efforts of the gentleman from 0,chtee that no limitations exist. The common law doctrine was ior ever abrogated. In a half hour speech' Feeaey received the most gpplaase jet accorded a member n "his" plea -for the men of toil.
