The Senate passed on first reading a
very important resolution, which is
that providing that at the next general
Congressional election there shall be
submitted to the voters of the State
an amendment to the constitution pro
viding that the Supreme Court be in
creased from three to five members.
That such change is demanded is pat
ent to all who are in touch with the
Supreme Court and its congested dock
cts, and it is up to the Legislature to
let the question 90 to the people.
Whether the measure will get through
can only be surmised, as there are some
who would oppose it altogether if it
threatened to interfere with their pros
pect of getting constitutional convention
measure passed.
The Senate also passed the bill pro-
viding for branch agricultural expert
ment station to be located in the prairie
belt, which went through without an Op
posing vote.

Shaping Appropriation Bill.

In the general appropriation bill, fol
carrying on the legislative, executive and
judicial departments of the State gov
eminent, which has been reported back
to the house with some few committee
amendments, there is very little change
from the similar bill passed in 1908, the
amounts being carried out substantially
as they appear in that measure. Among
the amendments offered by the commit
tee is one that provides for change in
the handling of contingent and travelling
funds apportioned to various officers,
which must not only be approved by the
auditor of public accounts, but by the
governor as well, which latter require
ment is new proposition and may pos
sibly bring on conflict. Another amend
ment offered is one providing that the
salary of the private secretary to the
governor be carried out at 81, 800 year,
instead of $500.

Tick Costs the State So, 100000.

Prof. Archibald Smith, in the bulletin
of the Mississippi live stock sanitary
board, of which he is the secretary and
executive officer, in discussing the effect
OF the cattle tick on the industry in thi:
State, estimates that Mississippi's share
of the loss in connection with the rest
of the tick-infected States is over So,
100000 annually. The estimates of the
Federal Department of Agriculture and
of the writer's on the subject are based
on the difference between the value OF
beef cattle and the products of dairy
cattle, on which the estimated annual
loss is over $6O,oOo,Ooo, this estimate ap
plying to the tick-infested States of the
South.

support of the Lakes to the Gulf Deep

JACKSON.
Members Not Ready for the Elimination
Process,

Process.
There was more of the pyrotechnic
blended with the dramatic at the open
ing of the caucus Thursday night. 1t all
came about following the introduction
of resolution by Senator Vance, of Pa
nola This was to the effect that this
caucus adopt two rules in order to ex-
pedite matters. The first rule was that
only votes cast for those who are bona
fde candidates before the caucus be
counted in the general summary.
The second rule proposed was that
from and after the adoption of the reso-
luton the candidate receiving the lowest
vote shall be dropped, this process to
continue until one candidate shall have
received a majority of all the votes cast.
Mr.. Vance explained that this resolution
had been inspired by no one, nor was it
in the interest of any of the five candi-
dates. He was just as loyal to the can
didate whom he had been supporting
(Mr. Kyle) as he was at the start, bat
he was also loyal to his duty as legis-
lator, responsible to the people of Mis-
to break the deadlock.
Mr.. Boddie promptly moved to table
the resolution, seconded by Senator Ma
hon.
At this point the confusion was some
what distracting to the average man, but
the veteran chairman of the caucus, SEN
ator Dean, kept his head and rightly en-
forced the rules, refusing to allow
amendments after the motion to table
had been put. The motion to table was
sustained by a decisive majority of 1O3
to 81.
Next came Senator S. Joe Owen, with
resolution proposing a committee of
five, one representing each bona fide
candidate, who should confer with them
and receive their assent to the plan of
elimination and report the result at the
next sitting of the caucus. After fer
vid apppal to the house in support of his
pain by Mr.. Owen, the motion to table
was put. to viva voce vote and was de-
clared carried by the chair.
The caucus then settled down to bal
loting, with the following result:
Fifty-sixth Ballot-Vardaman 72;
Percy, AS; Kyle, 1s; Byrd, II; Street,
12; Anderson, 3.
Fifty-seventh Ballot-Vardaman, 70;
Percy, A; Kyle, 21; Byrd, IA; Street,
II.

1t is understood at the capital that
it is not the intention of the board of
commissioners of the Yazoo-Mississippi
levee district to institute legal proceed
ings in order to collect the privilege tax
due from insurance companies under the
recent decree of the Supreme Court, pro
vided the companies promptly pay up
the assessments against them. The de-
cree was rendered in the case of the
levee board against the Royal Insurance
Company, in which the liability was
fully established, and following up that
decree it will be in order to collect the
privilege tax.
