DOWN ON MOVEMENT
FOR EXTRA SESSION
Redistricting Measure vii!
Have to Take It's Chance
in Regular Order.

Pierre. s. u. Feb. f6.-Afi talk about
an extra session Immediately after the
present one, to consider legislative ana
congressional apportionment. provided
no action is reached by the present
session, was put to rest by Governor
Wesley yesterday. The executive says
he does not favor any such idea.
II the senate accepts h house bin
creating the new Eleventh and Twelfth
judicial circuits. Governor Vessey will
have plenty OF material to pick from in
making choice for judges Of the circuit
Up to the present the parties who want
TO I'LL that position in the Eleventh
circuit are Roscoe Model, of Winner;
Charles II. Davis. of Gregory; William
Mcdonnell, of Gregory; j. l. Hannett.
of Winner, and {. :. Williamson, or
Reliance.
Those who would not object to FILL
ing the position in h Twelfth circuit
are Logan Berry. of Lennon; Edward
Coiman, OF Lennon. Percy Helm, of
Bison. and W. Henderson, of Dupree.
OF course. there is yet time for others
TO make their desires known before the
circuits are created, II they are created,
and the probabilities are that a few
more applications 7 likely 10 come
along before action is taken.
A few amendments win be offered To
the state banking law, with the recon-
mendation OF the state banking depart
ment. dealing mostly with the proVi-
sions for procedure in case of liquida-
ton OF banks. The law at present is
excellent, but lacks in detail, and il is
the purpose of the public examiner, not
Il increase the powers of the depart
ment in such cases, but incorporate in
the law specific instructions. The bin
will call for the repeal of the old law,
and the enactment of q new one, en-
bodying in one section all of the state
Laws .a regard &c this matter. Tine de-
partment of the examiner is extremely
over worked. and il is desired 10 in

To handle the work laid out more effect
ually, increasing the receipts of the
Office so as to allow a larger appro-
priation. by taxing for examination or
the basis Of the assets of the banks
examined rather than on the capital
stock. In this the state banking asso-
citation concurs.
The headlight bill on the calendar
for this afternoon was not reached by
the house in due order of business. The
indications are that the Legislature Will
uphold the voice OF the people at the
last election. in turning down this in
novation.
The senate after a short discussion,
meeting as a committee OF the whole
with Senator Mcpherson presiding,
adopted the report OF the Hot Springs
investigating committee.
Bartine's rate bin passed the senate
