Jackson, Miss, March 20.-In a spe-
cial message sent to both houses of the
legislature today, Governor Noel urged
the enactment of measures giving the
railroad commission more authority
in the supervision of public service cor
porations.
Discussing the telephone monopoly
and the demand of Hattiesburg and
other cities for better telephone SER
vice, the Governor says:
The complaint of the city of Nat
chez of urgent need of better tele-
phone service has been heartily en-
dorsed by the city authorities of Hat
tiesburg and by many citizens. The
railroad commission has doubted its
authority to afford relief without fur
ther legislation. The same telephone
service, under similar conditions,
should be extended to all, as promptly
as can reasonably be done. Special
authority should be delegated, to be
wisely and justly exercised, by the
railroad commission, to remedy and
correct all just complaints; and to de-
termine the question of physical con-
nection between large exchanges in the
same municipality.
Other important legislation which
the Governor would have enacted be-
fore the adjournment of the legislature
is summed up in the following para
graphs of his message;
Creation of county attorneys to at
tend to criminal cases in justice courts,
and in circuit courts to be paid by
fees, to be taxed against those con-
victed; trials of any number of misde-
meanors, especially unlawful retailing
on different counts. at the same time;

to suspend part of sentence, dur

offender; annd the establishment Of Q
