or most far reaching interest and
Importance Is the action OF the Gov.
ernor calling an extra session of the
Legislature on November 2, to act on
recommendations for amendment OF
the Organic Act. Governor Frear has
unquestionably taken the right step
In this matter. The responsibility Is
with the Legislature. 1f the partizan
division OF the Senate is such that no
decision can be reached, It Ia worth
the price OF an extra session for the
people to learn that they have placed
In Office lot OF men who do not
realize their responsibility as public
servants. The land law amendment

as viewed by others. Supervisor Ayl3|
EFT has come In for personal attack
that has done him no harm politically
nut has very likely reduced the
chances OF an agreement. with the
community at large there Is a feeling
that the telephone corporation should
carry the city wires free OF charge. II
Is obvious that the Democrats realize
this fact and they are therefore striv, |
