LEGISLATION Is Active

Des Moines, Iowa, Feb. Is, 1907
A bill providing for absolute state
wide prohibition and eliminating the
permissive feature of the mulct law,
has been introduced into the legisla-
ture by Representative G. A. Mere
dith, and the fight for prohibition is
on in dead earnest. Petitions are
pouring in upon the members of the
legislature from every city, town and
hamlet of the state, urging the pas
sage of the amendment.
Boise, Idaho, Feb. II, 19O9.-The To-
cal option bill introduced in the SEN
ate and backed by thirteen republican
senators has passed the senate by a
vote of ST to 6, and the house by a
vote of 80 to 13, and the governor has
declared his intention of signing the
bill. This law, as passed by the legis-
lature, is a very effective measure in
many respects, and will be instru-
mental in putting out the saloons
from good portion of the state.
Two years ago the legislature defeat
ed the local option bill, and passed a
stringent Sunday closing law as sop
to the temperance people of the state.
Public sentiment, however, became SO
strong that the republican convention
L. e. 4
platform plank declaring for an ef-
fective local option measure, and the
republican members of the legislature
are now making an effort to see that
this platform declaration is carried in
to effect.
Previous to the passage of this bill
by the senate, another local option
measure was passed by the house by a
vote of A to 8, but was not consider
ed by the senate.
The Sauk Centre herald., 1909-02-25

Helena, Mont, Feb. 16, 1909.
anti-pool room bill has been passed by
both houses in the legislature, and
now requires only the signature Of the
governor in order to become a law.
A number of other reform measures
are still pending either in the senate
or i'm the house. One bill which pro-
vides for the closing of all saloons in
the state from midnight until a. M,
has been reported favorably by the
House Committee. The report has
been adopted, and the bill will, in all
probability, 60 through the house.
An amendment to exempt clubs and
hotels from the operation of the law
was voted down by good vote.
The municipal local option law is
now before the senate, having been
introduced by Senator Cockrell. The
present local option law of Montana
has to do only with the county unit,
and the purpose of this new measure
is to give municipalities the right of
local veto as well as counties.
The Sauk Centre herald., 1909-02-25

Austin, Texas, Feb. 16, 19O9.-If the
bootlegging bill before the Texas leg
islature is enacted into law the boot
logger of that state will be subject to
a penalty of two years in the peniten-
tiary.
Another measure before the legisla-
ture provides against the drinking Of
iHiuxicants on any public highway or
any other place in view of a private
residence, which residence does not
belong to the drinker.
Still another bill hits hard at ex-
press companies, and makes the deliv-
cry of intoxicants to a minor i'm local
option territory felony.
The bill providing for prohibition
amendment to the constitution has
been defeated, but the anti-saloon
forces are now trying to secure a bill
which will provide that when 2O0, 1000
citizens of Texas petition for the sub
mission of any amendment to the con-
stitution, the amendment shall GO be-
fore the people.
If this bill should pass, and these
measures are put into effect, there is
reason to believe that the liquor traf-
fic will find hard shedding down in
Texas.

FORT SMITH ALMOST
 SURE TO COME IN
Decision That Town Is Open Terri-
 tory Makes 1t Almost Certainly
 Member of Arkansas State League.

Little Rock. Ark, March .l9.-A telegram from Secretary Farrell of the National Arbitration Board last night Informed President Hurst of the Arkansas State League that Fort Smith was open territory and that tho Arkansas organization might take the town into the circuit if 1t 50 de- sired.
 This practically makes it certain that Fort Smith will be in the Ar kansas league this year and is the biggest boost that the league has had in some time. The Western Associa- tion last winter planned to take Fort Hutchinson, Kan, but later decided not to do so. It was supposed, how ever that the Western Association had some sort of claim on the terri tory and that it would attempt to hold up the Arkansas League should it at tempt to put a team in Fort Smith.
 J. Walter Gillette, manager of the Fort Smith street railway, wrote to President Hurst some time ago saying that he wanted to secure a franchise in the league providing that there was no obstacle. President Hurst in- formed him of the contents of &c., cretary Farrell's telegram last night and expects to receive a reply today.
 Brinkley Is Out
 Yesterday afternoon, President Hurst received a definite statement from Ben Emmons of Brinkley stat ing that 1t would be impossible for the storm-wrecked city to be in the league tins year.
 The town which will take Brink leys place has not yet been decided upon. A delegation of citizens from Clarksville have written President Hurst that they want to secure a franchise for that place. However the matter has been left to K. c. Horner of Helena and D. P. Brown of Jonesboro, and they have made no recommendation as yet.
 Texarkana to Get Berth.
 It seems reasonably certain that Texarkana will be in the league, as President Hurst has received tele- gram from Bob Shelton at that place stating that they had raised the mon ey and would enter the league if they could receive the franchise.

Burnett secured a judgment of $500, the total amount sued for on Hunters endowment policy, and agreed to share the court costs.

It was after wards learned that Hunter was not in arrears and the matter was settled.

EXISTENCE, LET US GET TO WORK
BONDS FOR PERMANENT ROADS
Review Proposes County Committee to Secure
Petition Asking Supervisors to Submit
Bond Issue to the People.

The best Argument for good roads
IS just outside your door. Look and
be convinced. Farmers. business
men. merchants, professional men.
laborers, transfers. mail carriers,
everyone, not alone in Denison but
in every square mile of Crawford
county have lost time and money and
comfort and patience on account of
the frightful roads.
It is time to stop talking and get
to work.
The Review has definite plan to
propose.
Let the business men of Denison
start matters. Not because they are
more interested than others, but be-
cause they are the handiest to get
together quickly. Let committee
of twenty be appointed, this commit
tee to meet with the business men
of the other towns of the county and
secure the appointment of committees
from each town and from as many
township precincts as possible to be-
come members of county commit
tee. Let this committee, which should
consist of possibly one hundred mem
bers, or as many more as deemed
best, meet, organize and get to work
along different lines.
lst. To secure as many names as
possible to general petition to be
presented to the board of supervisors
in January asking that the question of
bond issue for the building of Per-
manent Country Roads be put to a
vote of the people.
End. To secure in advance the
best possible estimates of cost of con.
struction of the permanent roads best
adapted to this soil and the conditions
of this county.
3rd. To propose some plan for the
equable distribution of the funds to be
expended, bearing in mind the fac
that none but Permanent Roads are tt
be constructed.
We believe it is entirely possible
to bring this matter to head within
the next thirty days.
To be successful il must b'
thoroughly understood:
That none but Country Roads are t.
