SOrlE PROPOSED
LEGISLATION
In Next Assembly-The Session VIII
Probably Last Full 60 Days-Road
Law and Sunday Closing Bills
Contemplated.

During the past week there have
been many members-elect of the legis'
lature IN Helena. and not one of them
has been convinced that the coming
session of the lawmakers will be a
day less than the law allows, nor do
they believe there will be any honest
attempt made to curtail the length Of
the session, says the Helena Inde-
pendent. While it is the general opin-
ioA that there will no hard fights,
such - there were two years ago
over the passage OF measures affect
ing the large mining companies.
there will be nevertheless many meas
ures Of general interest introduced,
which will consume time.
Among the measures that will come
before the legislature will be one
having for its object the closing Of
saloons on Sundays. In furtherance
of the measure petitions are now
being circulated over tho state for sig
natures, and these will be presented
to the Legislature. The petition reads;
To the Honorable Legislative As
sem bly, of the State Of Montana:
I'VE the undersigned residents and
citizens OF the state of Montana, re-
spectfully requestthat you pass law,
at the present session, to close saloons
and all other places where intoxicat-
ing liquors, wine or beer, are sold as
. bever age, from II o'clock Saturday
night until O'Clock Monday morning,
and to provide severe penalty fol
violation of the same"
INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM,
Another measure that will occupy
the attention of the legislature will
be the initiative and referendum.
Such measure has been presented
10 every legislature since 1897, but il

has never mustered a sufficient num-
Der of followers to pass either house
I here are number of members OF
the lower house who are pieged to it,
and it will have some support in the
sen ate, but as the republicans have
always unitedly opposed the submis-
sion to tho people of an amendment
looking to putting the system into
effect, it would seem, as the republi-
cans are in control of the house, that
it will not get beyond that body, if
it is introduced there. Some Of those
who are in favor of the measure are
of the opinion the governor will rec
ommend the passage Of a law sub
hitting the question to the people.
But so far as known the governor has
given no intimation as to how he
stands upon the question.
Nhether such . law is enacted or
defeated, it is good for the consump-
ton OF at least weeks time in the
house,and possibly longer it the fight
gets real warm.
r ABROAD COMMISSION BILL.
There is no question bat bill will be
introduced looking to the creation of a
railroad commission. Several mem
bers-elect who have talked about pros
pective legislation have expressed no
doubt but that such measure would
be introduced, and some have ex
pressed belief that law creating
such commission would be recon-
mended by the governor. If such a
law is enacted there will be a fight
on the question whether the members
of the commisson shall be elected by
the people or appointed by the gov
ernor. Until general election, if a
commission is created, the members
first holding the position would be
appointed by the governor. States
adjacent to Montana now have rail
way comm issioners, and there is 60
ing to be determined effort to have
one in Mon tana. It will be opposed
on the gro und that the state has now
enough people on the payroll, and
the advocates of the measure will be

 New York, May 26.-There are so many bull factors just at present that it seems as though a higher level of values is sure to be established, regard- less of the pending coal tsrike, which, by the way, will probably be settled earlier than most people think. Easy money beyond expectation. heavy buy ing of our securities hv London inves- tors, and large increases in earnings be- ing maintained by railroad companies throughout the country, amounting 10 about 10 per cent. over last years total in spite of the small movement Of corn, and still more important than all, the very flattering outlook for this years corn crop, accompanied by an enormous acreage, far exceeding any before ever known, are the main reasons why we may expect bull market during the summer months this year.
