the states attorney has made public
any announcement as to the perma-
nency of the policy inaugurated last
night, but the action, nevertheless,
is timely and it may be that the
mayor having waited what he con-
siders a sufficient length of time for
the sheriff to exercise his self as
sumed authority in the premises has
taken upon his shoulders duty that
belongs to him. At all events it is
understood that ii the sheriff does
not carry out his pledge of cleaning
out the gambling joints and keeping
them out there will be another raid
some day that will hit them as we'll
1t is sufficient to say, and probably
all sufficient, that if there ever was
time when Rock Island needed a
real good housekeeping. it is right
now and it is the hope of the people
that it may come, TO the credit to
the public official who does the clean

WORK FOR SOLONS
Governor Deneen Is Due in
Springfield Next Week to
Take Up Tasks.
WILL CALL A CONFERENCE
Wants Advice of Members of Legis
laturc as to the Best Methods
to Proceed.

Springfield, ILL.,. Sept. 2.-Governor
Deneen is expected to return from his
farm near Winnipeg next week and 1T
once begin the study of prospects fo-
Legislation at the special session of the
general assembly later in the fall.
1t is said that he probably will sum-
mon leaders i'll both house and senate
% Springfield and ascertain their
views on number of important topics,
including water way and primary legis-
lation and the ACCESSIBILITY OF passing
upon the income tax amendment to the
federal constitution. 1t is likely that
no revenue legislation will be at
tempted but it has been thought that
the governor might try to get through
some administration measures along
railroad or insurance lines
Program May he Broad.
If the governor finds that the two
branches are inclined TO be more ha.
monious than they We're last spring
and winter. it is possible. that the pro-
gram for the special session will De
broad. If they show a tendency 20
pull farther apart it is certain that the
call will be restricted to direct pri-
mary and deep water way matters.
Some politicians even expressed the
opinion that prospects of too great dis
sension might cause the executive 10
abandon his plans for special SEES
sion,
Desire Popular Election.
On the question of voting on the i'll
come tax amendment to the federal
constitution, it was said. majority
| of the legislative leaders probably
would advise Governor Deneen that
they desired to have popular electiol
intervene before vote is taken. in
order that their constituents might
have an opportunity to study the Ques
ton fully and express themselves upon
| it.
The fact that the amendment would
not permit for exemptions or Sradl
tons. but would exact the same per
centage from day laborer and million
aire alike. it is said to have created 2
divergence OF opinion among the vot
ers of the state as TO the desirability
of the law
