HALF SESSION GONE
AND NOTHING DONE

The general assembly completed one
half OF its first session Saturday, which
marked the twenty-fifth legislative day
that has slipped by since the solons gath
cred here on Wednesday, June %. to IN
augurate a new governor, construct new
legislation, and destruct old legislation,
And what has been Accomplishment
Thus far, very little has been accom-
plished. ..r.
Governor Brown has yet to approve or
disapprove his first general bill or resolu-
ton.
Indeed, Governor Brown has yet to con-
slider I'm his official capacity the ADVISABLE
ity of legislation that has been passed.
There has been no legislation up to date.
The governor, IT is true, quoted extern
sively from the platform Of the conven-
ton that nominated him, and he suggest
ed legislation along the lines Of the plat
form, but &.
But no laws embodying these ideas are
yet on the statute books. .... ...
There's. the railroad coTnmission-always
a, live wire and a fruitful source OF
would-be legislation. It's membership OF
i've has not been reduced by the .legisla-
ture, although one of Its Individual mem
hers has been suspended. And 1t con-
tinues TO have Jurisdiction over street

Then. too, there are the school teach

was going to pay of instanter, even If
II necessitated. a, bond issue. They are
still waiting for their money, and the
legislature has thus, far, disregarded the
governors suggestion that the near

for current expenses oe. -. g.

MEETS OBJECTIONS
ON CORPORATION TAX

WASHINGTONyD ID! tCs, July flT.-Declar-
ing that any corporation which Keeps
Just and true books of account, can
make I'D the return required by the pro-
posed corporation tax law, and meeting
other attacks on that measure Attorney
General Wlckershamf today made punho

street firm of 'accohntsnts, who ehal-
lenged some provisions of the proposed
law as absolutely Impossible, of apph-
cation" and others as violative or all

ment, to embody the administration views

He points out that the proposed law

was the income law Of 1904. 1t may be
inconvenient, but II sis certainly not Inn
possible for any corporation which keeps
Just and true books OF account to make
up a return such as that required by
the proposed law, particularly as the re-
turn requires statements Of actual re-

Conner ISSUES CALL e-r
FOR EXTRA SESSION

MONTGOMERY, Ala, July 16.-In his
proclamation for an extra session OF the
legislature already set to begin July q,
issued today, Gov B. b. Conner calls for
action on sixtySye subjects, among
which is the submission OF an amend
ment for constitutional prohibition TO the
people, as we'll as amendments for .bien-
NAL sessions OF the legislature and the
establishment of new counties OF less
area than is now permitted. -
Pre-eninept in the call is suggestion
for strengthening prohibition laws being
urged to prevent storage in clubs or pub
lie sale places of intoxicating liquors,
making goods thus stored contraband,
prevent foreign agencies from establish
ing in the, state TO sell liquors. lay tax
on such liquors as may be sold, and pro-
vide speedy punishment for violations.
Better laws against gambling are also in
cIuded. ,...-,- ...-.-
Amendments of the railroad laws where
needed are urged, as are also the follow
ing provisions: Greater Birmingham, uni
form jury laws, municipal government BY
commission, with power to destroy Ii
quors and prevent sales; pure food and
drug, control Of the sale of poisons and
narcotics municipal bond issues. forestry,
fish and oyster. protection, anti-pistol
BILL Juvenile court, uniform negotiable
of old child labor laws. compulsory edu-
cation, revision school laws. county aid to
high schools. expenses railroad litigation.
impeachment of officers who do not en-
force laws, repeal of act preventing solicit
tor or law partner of a solicitor from be-
ginning prosecution, increase of number
any pay of bank examiners keeping cor
rect house and senate journals, increased
tax and penalty on insurance companies.
repeal of act following bail in certain mis-
demeanOr cases, revision Of franchise tax
laws. 90.
The jury provision. with that concern
ing solicitors and bail for misdemeanors
is thought to move for official activity in
enforcing the prohibition. acts. ...
AS TO LOCKERS.
The main reason for the special ses-.
sion, however, is to strengthen the pro-.
hibition laws Recently. the supreme
court held that members of bona fide
social clubs might keep liquor in lockers,
and that no city or county might legislate
against this right The governor IS de-
termined to try what effect state laws
against even the possession of liquor will
have. He suggests that all goods thus
stored be made contraband. His other
recommendations include child labor laws
with penalties-those now in effect do
not provide a punishment for violations;
municipal government by, commissions.
impeachment of officers for failure to en-
force laws; compulsory education; pure
food and drug laws and anti-gambling
laws. -.....- .-
