Trans--f' 1aisiAippi Commercial Con-
 aress tO be Held.
 Kansas City, July 2s-1he official call for the 18th annual session of the Trans Mississippi Commercial Congress to be held at Muskogee. in the new State of Oklahoma. November 19. 20 2l and P next was issued today Representation is provided for as foI- lows:
 The governors of eaca State and territory may appoint ten and not mor~ than twenty delegates; the Mayor ot each city one delegate and one addi- tional delegate for each five thousand inha hits.nts provided however. that no city shall have more than ten dele gates; each county may appoint one delegate through it's executive officefs' each business organization one delegate and one add!tiona.. delegate for every fifty members. provided however. that TO such organization shall nave more than ten delegates.
 Governors of States and representa- tiyes in Congress and former presidents of Trans Mississippi Commercial con zress.s a,"e ex-officio members with all the priviteges of delegates voting.
 The cali says The executive com mittee respectfully directs attention to the fact that the Trans -Mississippi Commercial Congress in holding it' regular annual session coincident with the admission to the federal union or the new State of Oklahoma follows a precedent long established of main ia a.ning a foremost position in all mat tcrs affecting the material advance ment of the region west of the Missis- sinpi river. The admission of Okla homa and Indian Territory IS therefore suggested as fitting occasion for the assembling of the commercial interests Of the Trans:Mississippi States. A closer commercial union with the republics and the improvement or the river system of the United States are two of the main questions to be con e;lerad hv the congress.

COUNTY GETS RAISE
IMPORTANT RULING RECEIVED BY
 PENSACOLA AUTHORITIES.
Under The Interpretation of Law, state win Not Get Benefit of Increase
 in Taxation on Saloons.

Pensacola. Fla. July 2s-(speciapE A ruling has been received here from the State comptoller regarding the new state license law on saloons. which was passed at the recent session of the Legislature. and which becomes effec- tive October l.
 Under this Interpretation of the law the counties will receive the benetlt of the increase in taxation and not the State A total tax of $1.000 has been placed upon the liquor houses for ootn State and county purposes, and Of this amount $500 goes to the county where the saloons are in operation and the remaining $500 to the State.
 In former years the total license has been S750. of which $500 went. to, the State By the increase in licenses this county will hereafter receive a total of S2o.000 per year from this source, while heretofore 1t has re ceived only about $10,0Oe. A feature of the new tax law however. Is that II limits the tax to be placed upon saloons at s250 for each license. .
 This is the present tax in Pensacola' bu. it was understood that an increase would be made It is the general opinion that the Legislature has not the authority to limit a tax which is to be placed by a municipality.
