An effort was made in the
house of representatives last
week to secure the adoption of a
resolution admitting graduates
of the law department of Mill

profession without examina ton,
just as is done in the case Of the
State University. The resolution
failed of adoption, however, and
the Mlllsaps graduates will have

The ways and means commit
tee of the house of representa-
tiveS has made a report unani-
mOusly recommending the pas
sage of a bill requiring all
internal revenue collectors to
give certified copies of all rev
enue licenses issued by them to
any public Official in the State
upon request. The passage of
this bill will deal a death blow to
whatever existing blind tigers
there may exist in the State and
will help to keep them from
Springing up in the future IN
der the existing law there is no
way to comp pei internal revenue
collectors to furnish certified
ppieS of licenses issued to liquor
dealers, nor can they be made to
testify in the courts. For this
reason it is often i'm possible fer
local authorities to secure com
petent evidence against parties
who are known to be engaged in
the liquor traffic. After the pro
posed law goes into effect it will
be an easy matter for local Off
cials to ascertain whether any
person whom they may suspect
has a revenue license, and the
mere fact that he is in possess
sion of such license will be con-
vincing evidence that he is selling
liquor.

There are several judicial ap
pOintm ents to be made before the
present session of the Legislature
adjOurns, but Governor Varda-
man states that none of his ap-
pointments will be sent to the
senate for confirmation until the
legislature disposes of the ques-
ton of rearranging the circuit
court districts. This district will
not be affected, as the term of
Judge Sykes extends for three
years. Judge Sykes was ap-
pointed by Governor McLaurin
in March, 1897, was reappointed
by Governor LonginO in 1901 and
again by Governor Vardaman in
1905. He still has three years of
his term to serve, and although
he is at present confined to his
home by illness hopes to be able
to resume his official duties early
in the spring.

COLLEGE BILL PASSES HOUSE.

The bill for the support and
improvement Of the Industrial
Institute and College has passed
the lower house of the Legislature
unanimously. The fight on the
bill was made in the apDrOpria-
ton com mittee. and after that
body bad approved it there was
no fight made urOn it in the
house the appropriation com
mittee struck out the item of one
hundred thousand dollars for the
dormitory but the bill is now be
/ fore the finance com mittee Of the
| 5 mate where this item. it is un-
ders TODD, will be inserted and
where it has a good chance of be-
ing inserted IN the bill on the
floor of the Senate. If the dor
mitOry item passes the Senate
there is a strong probability that
i6 will pass the house for a fight
for it will be made in that body.
The bill is a good one and car
rieS items for several improve
ments. The support fund is in
creased ten thousand dollars for
each of the years 1906 and 1907
and the Science Hall, about
twenty thousand dollars is pro
vided for. Ia addition to the
Science Hall a boiler house is
provided for and allowances made
for removing the boilers and re
installing the same. Allowances
are made for building cement
walks, removing and rebuilding
the tank, increased amounts are
appropriated for the Students
Labor fund and other current
expenses Of the institution are
provided for.
Ia comparison with the other
State colleges the Industrial
College has Jared admirably at
the hands Of the legislature.
While the support fund for the
local institution was increased
twenty thousand dollars the sup
port fund for the A. & M. Col
lege was cut S48, 900 and the sup
port fund for the University was
decreased twenty thousand dol
lars. While the girls school is
allowed two buildings, the boiler
house and the Science Hall, the
other colleges had all of their
buildings stricken out by the ap-
pr0pria ton committee. Efforts
will be made upon the floor of the
house to re instate several of the |
items disapproved by the appro
priation committee for both the |
and the A. & NJ. and |
spirited fights are promised.

MINORITY REPORTS
ON PURE FOOD BILL
CLAIMS THE FEDERAL GOVERN
MENT HAS NO RIGHT TO TAKE
POWER WHICH PROPERLY BE-
LONGS TO THE STATE.

Washington March 14.-Representative
Bartlett of Georgia filed the report of the
minority of the House committee on in
terstate and foreign commerce against
the purefood bill today The report is
signed by Representatives Adamson of
Georgia, Russell of Texas and Bartlett
of Georgia. Opposition to the measure
by the three members Is based on the
opinion that the federal government has
no right to assume the regulation of the
sale and branding Of food which are held
by the minority to be essentially within
the police powers 81 states The report
states that the dissenting aenlbers favoe
law against the sale of impure and
adulterated foods, but believe such laws
should be made by the various states
I'VE challenge the right of Congress to
enact such a law as this" the report
says, "as but another effort to minimize
the powers of the states and magnify the
power of the general government, an ef-
fort to look to the general government
to correct ills and evils with which the
public may think itself afflicted"
