The attorney general first. IN the

promise OF Will f. Chappell. attor-
ney for the Republican state commit

sultbale TO petitioners, and 10 the re-
peated failure on the part OF Caeppell
TO do this, and finally his refusal to
proceed on the grounds tiiat those
behind him desired him not to do SO.
The attorney general then adopts the
following as ballot title:
"The purpose Of the act Is to refer
10 the people OF the state of Oklahoma
for their approval or rejection Of Sen
ate Bill No. 179. entitled An act re
latlng to the dime, place. manner and

SERVICE soTHERs SOME.

Pittsburg. Pa. Jan. 19.--The iron
and steel trade are anticipating an
increase of trade during this year.
A number of the mills making steel
rails have been partly operated dur
ing the last six months of 1909. The
greatest trouble that this city has to
contend with, Is that of the railroad
service. The capacity oil the rail-
roads Is taxed to the extreme, and
the capacity in iron and steel in this
disiiict is expanding faster than the
railroad service.

THEIR VIEW Of
EXTRA SESSION

Now that the extra session OF the
legislature has been called it is in
teresting to find out what some of
the members of the legislature think
of the situation.
Herewith is given the opinion of
two senators of opposite political
faith one our local senator as to the
calling of the extra session:
Senator John S. Irby, Democrat
Il was opposed to calling the extra
session because | do not believe IL is
morally or legally right to spend the
peoples money to force the enact
ment into law of party measures.
The call is admitted to be a party
eNpedient, and therefore the party
should pay the bill, not the people.
The laws which are urged cannot go
into effect any sooner than If they
were passed at the regular session
next January. The reason the reg
ular session failed to pass these
measures was that eight Democratic
senators refused to caucus with the
other twelve and be bound by the
decision of that caucus. These eight
insurgents bolted the Democratic
senatorial caucus and made a deal
with the fifteen Republican senator's,
thereby placing Democratic ma
jOrity in the minority"
Senator Horace r DeLong, Mesa
county, do not believe that there
is any eXigency existing in the state
to Justify it. nor any call nor any
need for the calling of an extra ses-
sion of the Legislature at this time
| do not think that the constitution
ever meant that the governor should
use his power TO thus cover the af-
fairs of political parties. | think if
the governor desired to do something
for the state he should have called
the extra session at time when the
laws passed at such a session could
become operative before the conven-
ing of another legislature.

session in Grand Junction, came up
from that city in autos provided by
the business men of the town. and
We're escorted through the orchards
by Messrs. Bancroft and Crissey. The
orchards were a revelation TO them
and they expressed themselves as be-
ing favorably impressed with Pali-
sade's future outlook. Everywhere
they went the ranchers treated them
to ripe peaches.
Now that Palisade has contributed
its little part toward making the in
terurban celebration a success both
at Fruita and Grand Junction we ex-
tend hearty invitation to our neigh
bors to come to The Home of the
Peach on August 3-Iowa Day-and
have good time. We may not be
able to give them all the high-class
turbelows they were furnished this
