TRIUMPH FOR THE RAILROAD
MlSSION-NIT!

The Pensacola Journal styles the
agreement, signed Monday by the l..
& n. and railroad commission. by
which the scent passenger rate be-
comes effective May 8, Triumph
for the Railroad Commission" We
view it rather as a triumph for the l..
& n. Several years ago the commas
sion ruled that cents per mile only
should be charged by this road. The
road, however, continued to collect
cents up to the present writing, and Is
still ding so. Outside pressure was
finally brought to bear and the road
found itself being pressed into cor
ner so magnanimously compromises
with the commission, the agreement
being that the road shall keep the %
per cent. overcharge it has during
those years collected from defenseless
passengers and is not to be further
molested. The road does not even
have the cost of litigation to pay, save
probably paltry $4,000 or $4,000 fee to
Special Examiner Wilson. and those
incurred by itself, in it's own defense.
The state of Florida pays its own ex-
penses of the contest, and the travel
ing public are allowed no redress for
the 25 per cent. of which it has been
mulcted since June 80. 1908. "Tri

M Metcalf of Hartford for s27. .775. .75. The building is to be rebuilt after the plans submitted by Architect Smith of Montgomery. Several other b.ds were before the commissioners and various reports are current as to the plans of the Genevaites to induce the board to erect very handsome and creditable edifice for the seat of justice. but the board felt that it could not act without a voice of the voters to such an extent The building is to be replaced on the same location as before and the same material is to be used so for as is avail able.

LIQUOR CONTESTS < ID BEGIN SHORTLY Searching for Flaws in Op-
 tiOn Bills POLITICIANS WATCH
Petitions Are Being Circulated and Most of the Large Counties Will
 Soon Pass on Liquor Question

Montgomery, April 21.-(Special.) .)-Politi- clans who have been dropping in at the capitol since the adjournment of the leg islature are keeping a keen eye on the local option lineup in this state. Up to the present time the city of Montgom- cry has been the only municipality to call for an election under the Parks local option bill and up to the present time there has been no contest started in court to overthrow the enactments of the legislature with respect to the new liquor laws.
 Undoubtedly Mobile will be the next city to file petition for a local option elec- ton, while Birmingham is expected to fol- low suit at the first convenient moment. Following upon these two cities, Selma Tuscaloosa and other of the cities of that size will possibly clamor for an ex- pressed wish of the people with respect to the overthrow of the present laws.
 Insofar as a contest of the Parks bill and the Smith regulation measure is con- cerned, it is generally accepted that such a contest will be made within the next two months Nine chances out of 10 the pro- hibitionists of the state will see to it that such contests are started in every city where local option election Is held thereby assuring a quick decision of the state supreme court. Rumors have been ahoat for some time that a vulnerable point has been found in the Smith meas ure, which, it would so prove, would absolutely destroy the usefulness of that measure. The only recourse would be a special session of the legislature to enact

Judge Reverses Ruling

Judge Thomas w. Vert, judge of the Morgan county law and equity court, has just reversed his former ruling in the in dictments found some time ago against a number of soft drink stands as regard ed alleged violations of the screen law.
 The indictments read, '.screens or de- vices," when according to the statute it should have read, screen of devices. " Judge Vert has now reversed his first ruling on the ground that the little word 'or' was a typographical error. Judge Vert communicated with the secretary of state and was advised that the original bill read "of and that the word ''or' was a typographical error.

Prohibition Ruse
 In the opinion of many such a stand on the part of the prohibitionists would be merely ruse on their part to main tain the present laws on the statutes, the opinion being expressed by this coterie of politicians that the Smith measure has no vulnerable point It was framed by skilled lawyer and was reviewed by some of the finest legal talent of the state, notably Gov. Emmet O'Neal, Judge De Graffenfeid, Adviser Robert Evans and others.
 Any victory that the prohibitionists might gain by a legal contest. however, would without doubt be quickly over thrown by action of Governor ONeal In calling together another session of he legislature. The states chief exec utive has announced that he will call an extra session of the state solons if 1t is necessary to redeem the pledges of the democratic party The statement was not made as threat, but merely as an observation and intention.
 Attorneys Busy
 It is reported in Montgomery, though there has been no substantiation of the report, that the prohibition leaders of the commonwealth have employed legal talent to investigate the Parks local option measure and the Smith regula- ton bill with the hope of finding in those enactments some points of at tack. This scrutiny has not been con fined to any one of the cities but has been quite general in all of them. Law yers of Birmingham, Montgomery and Mobile are believed to be at work on ihe bills. which were so recently placed on the statutes.
 Up to the present time the rest from the long legislative session has been enjoyed without let or ..lndrance, thera being no discoveries" as yet of errors in any of the important measures which were passed at the recent session. <It Is quite probable that such errors will not be found until the summer months though the consensus of opinion is that fewer of the laws of this legislature will be declared unconstitutional than Of any legislature in several decades.
