Cause for the Call.
In spite Of the claim OF administra-

ion of the Supreme Court. the rumor
goes forth, that greater purpose un-
,ieriies the move. II 10 strangely whis-
pered that the alleged State Treasury
deficit Is ain bad" and must need at
tention, before 1911. 1t is said that
the Governor fears an actual working
deficit will overtake his administra-
ton. In lieu OF theoretical deficit
that now positively exists. according
to the. claims of revenue expert.
How the Legislature could place
money In the Treasury and not actual
ly take from 1t by way OF expense II,
converting the body Is q puzzle to
many. Some say that there will be a
bolstering of. The tax laws so that re-
venue will come In with higher speed
on the next tax year. All this remains
to be seen. the Governor holding re-
markabie silence even with his intf-
mate friends on the subject.
1t is now about agreed that the Gov
ernor will embrace in his call the pay
ment of the county newspapers. for

In the aggregate amounts to about
$4,000 and as the fund for this pur-
pose has been long exhausted the

Ing. IT is said. for want of the simo-
Icons.
Some say, too. that the act OF the
last Legislature will be restored which
attempted to bring the river transport
tation within the regulation OF tho
Railroad Commission. It is likely
that this subject will be put in the call
OF course the Greater Birmingham act
