NO SPECIAL SESSION.
Governor viii Not Call Legislature
Together.


Together.
There will be NO special session Of
the legislature called to submit the
initiative and referendum. Governor
Shallenberger will issue a state ment
to this effect. The governor came to
this decision and the reason that he
will give in his official statement Is
there Is not sufficient time for the
legislature to be convened, pass the
proposed amendment and get it on
the primary ballots.
This statement from the governor
follows closely on the news from the
Commoner office that sufficient votes
are In sight to insure the three-fifths
majority for the bill. the condition
made by the executive for the con-
vening Of the legislature. The COVER
nor figures that in those districts
where the legislators have resigned
there will have to be special elections
to fill the vacancies that will be under
the necessity Of giving ten days notice
IF these selections.
The secretary of state will close
the primary ballot July Is. SO the gov.
ernor will say that does not give SUI.
ficient time to place the proposed
amendments on the primary ballots.
To submit the amendment at the fall
election without it having been en-
dorsed by any party at the primary he
holds would be waste of time and
money.
The law which provides that
amendments may be endorsed at
state conventions was repealed by the
primary law in 1907.

WORK OF CONGRESS
MUCH HAS BEEN DONE IN THE
LONG SESSION.
RECORD OF BILLS PASSED
Tie Session At Times Was Marked BY
Conflict Between the Various
Factions.

Washington. - Notwithstanding the
fact that action on many important
measures was delayed by conflicts be-
tween insurgent and regular repub-
lican factions in both branches and
that the democratic minority was an
active force, congress is expected to
conclude its long session Saturday
with record for enactin an immense
bulk of legislation.
In the matter of measures for which
President Taft stood sponsor. there
were many instances of success. Chief
in the list OF legislation for which the
administration cOntended were the fol.
lowing:
Revision of the railroad laws. includ.
ing the creation of a commerce court.
Admitting Arizona and New Mexico
as separate states.
postal savings banks.
Giving to the president unlimited
authority to withdraw public lands for
conservation purposes.
Providing for publicity Of campaign
contributions.
Authorizing the issuance Of s20.OO0.-
600 in certificates of indebtedness to
complete reclamation projects.
Creating a bureau of mines.
Extending the activities of the tariff
board and appropriating $25O.O0O for
its use.
Looking to the suppression of traffic
in white slaves"
Authorizing the entry of the surface
of coal lands.
Creating a commission to consider
economies in the administration OF the
federal government.
Providing a new tariff system for
the Philippine islands.
Legislation which ultimately is eN-
pected to give practically prohibition
to the Hawaiian islands.
Opposed to the foregoing list Of
obtained was a small num-
Der of measures which had adminiStra-
ton sympathy. but failed of passage.
They were measures on the subjects
of ship subsidy. anti-injunction. for
new form of government in Alaska
and on the Panama canal zone. to
create bureau of public rates. to PRO-
vide increased rates for second class
mail matter. and increase the engineer
corps of the army.
Not the least conspicuous acts OF
congress were the strenuous measures
taken by the house of representatives
to reform it's system of conducting
business so that less power might rest
with the speaker and the organization
Of which he was the natural leader.

the eczema was spreading all over my

bottle, together with the Cutieura
Ointment, my sores were nearly
healed over, and by the time | had
used the third bottle, was entirely
we'll. To any one who has any skin
or blood disease | would honestly adj
wise them to fool with nothing else,
but get Cuticura and get well. My
hands have never given me the least
bit OF trouble up to now.
my daughters hands this summer
became perfectly raw with eczema.
She could get nothing that would do
them any good until she tried Cuti-
cura. She used Cuticura Resolvent
and Cuticura Ointment and In two
weeks they were entirely cured. I
have used CuticuFa for other members
of my family and 1t always proved sue
