MAY HOLD EXTRA SESSION OF
 LEGISLATURE THIS SUMMER

ing the legislature to meet in special ses- sion.'
 But this is but one of the causes which Mir Mulkey assigns for an extra session. The Geneva representative believes that the present tax system il the state is wrong: that the system should be uni form in all the counties, and he has ex- pressed the opinion ti'at in the event a special session is called this important step will be taken
 Mr Mulxey thinks that land in Baldwin county should be taxed equally with land in Geneva county, or in any other eoun- ties of the state; that the mineral lands of Jefferson and Walker counties should also lear the same system of taxation. and that this uniform taxation should apply in all other respects with refer ence to the lands of the state.
 Another necessity for calling an extra session, in the opinion Of Mr. Mnlkey, Is the need of cutting down some of the ap- preparations made by the legislature. In this connection Mr. h.nlkey would make some sweeping changes:
 In my opinion there is no reason why We should have so many departments, and l think the state should dispense with several of them' said MT. fIulkey. We should also cut down the university appropriation and other heavy school ap-
 ropria tlons, making the couis. es shoul- der some of this expense"
 MT. MullSey also took Hing at the court of appeals, intinatine that in his opinion this tribunal was by no means 8 necessity, and might De discontinued. Tn other words" said Mir. sluikev, there is imperative necessity for reform. an1 it Is our duty to give seriois consideration to all matters which might serve to relieve the situation"
 Governor ONeal does not want an, extra session, and he will not call one unless it should be deemed neees- sary. This statement was made by tha chief executive of the state, and he de- clares that he hopes there will be no necessity for changing his mind.
 The chief matter of concern to the

Montgomery April 20.-(Special Joe velopments in the state during the past few months have brought the proposition of an extra session of the legislature be- fore the people to such an extent as to almost warrant the statement that every indication points to d special session of .A'abama's lawmakers during the present summer. Various political leaders of the 4 tate have expressed the opinion that an extra session will be imperative, and it is known that suggestions to this affect have beer made to Governor O'Neal.
 ono of the foremost advocates of a spe cial legislature session is oscar Afi,l- key of Geneva county. During the last |, gislature MT. Mulkey was one of the house leaders. and he was prominently identified with practically every measure of importance that came up for consider Stion.
 1Neal will call an extra session of the legislature some time during this sum- mer and he bases his opinion on these facts:
 1. The enormous deficit in the treasury which the state is shouldering.
 ?. The need of unifo1n tax system in all the counties of the state. ' g. The need of cutting down some Of the appropriations made by the last lesisla- s1ture.
 l. The need of correcting certain .rrors in the general revenue bill and Tn lthei measures which were passed by the egis- lature of 1911.
 II believe that an extra sessioT of the legislature is imperative,' said df. Null key. .gThe state is shouldering q deficit Of several hundred thousand eolars, and ahis deficit is steadily infeasng. This matter would elaRe al1,aal to the people of the state as sufficient cause for call

Omaha. Neb.. April 2o.-That Colonel Roosevelt carried Nebraska by a big majority in the presidential preference primary yesterday was made certain. and strength was added to the belief that Champ Clark was the democratic choice, when added returns from the election came in today. All returns re-

 Democrats: Clark s94a, Harmon 6451.
 Wilson 6435.
 Victor Rosewater, acting chairman af
 the national republican committee, said
 today that he believed Roosevelt had boiled from two and a half to three
 times as many votes as either LaFol-
 ette or Taft,
 Returns thus far Indicate Roosevelt
 has a majority of the vote in all of tho six districts of the state Harmon supporters early today ahan- doned hope that he might carry the
 state, but thought he would have a Inajority In the Third district He car ried the Second district by 1918 votes Indications are that Champ Clark has
 carried the First, Fourth. Fifth and sixth districts and will have a ma jorlty I of the votes in the state. Woodrow Wilson has not had ma 1ority of the returns received thus far from any of the six districts. l The Nebraska primary law is indef- | mite as to whether delegates to the national convention shall be governed l by the votes in their districts or by the state wide vote. The republican dele gates plan. to vote as a unit for tht icandidate who obtains q ma jority of the state vote. Democratic district dele. gates intend to vote in accordance witf

 Douglas county was Harmon stronghold on account of the grea
 strength of the opposition to the Bryar I faction of the party here. Indications are that former Governor Shallenberger is the democratic nomi. nee for senator. On early return, George W. Norris is leading Senator Norris Brown for the republican nomin- alton.

|of the State OF Nevada in a strong
petition to our members in Congress
urged the abolition OF the Commerce
Court and asked for Legislation pro
viding for direct appeal from the In
terstate Commerce Commission to
the Supreme Court OF the United
States in order that the orders OF
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion might be made final in reference
t. the question of fact, and be sub
ject to review only upon questions OF
law by the highest tribunal in the
land.
The Commerce Court was created
at the instance Of Mr.. Taft and has
since been vigorously defended and
protected by him even to the extent
of v%etoing the general appropriation
bill on two different occasions be
cause it carried a provision providing
for the abolition of the Commerce
Court. In an attempt by Congress
to pass the bill over the Presidents

was not obtained because Senator

Massey and the
Commerce Court

Probably no question in the pre-
sem campaign has been productive
OF more argument than the vote OF
Senator Massey in regard to the
Commerce Court, His stand in this
particular against the interests OF
the people OF the State Of Nevada
and with the r~eactionaries is so
clearly defined and the record so
straight that he has made no effort
to deny it.
It appears that for ten years the
people Of this state have been max
ing a fight against the back-haul
charges levied by the railroads.
These charges have placed an extra
burden of expense upon every con-
sumner in this state. A short and
concise history OF the proposition is
not out Of place at this time. 1t is
as follows:
Through the medium and efforts
of the Railroad Commission OF Ne
vada there has been effected a saving
to the shippers and consumers of Ne
vada of at least 100000 per annum
by reduction in the class rates cover
ing the movement of transcontincn-
tai freight from all eastern defined
territories.
The above covers the movement OF
less than carload freight. Follow
ing this the Commission made a
strong case before the Interstate
Commerce Commission for a similar
reduction in the carload rates, more
popularity known as commodity rates.
After about three years investiga-
ton and a full consideration of the
merits. the Interstate Commerce
Commission. proceeding under the
long and short haul clause of the act
to regulate or what is
known as the 4th section amended
July, 1910, made an order reducing
the rates in substantially the same
proportion as their former order re-
ducine the class rates. Had this
order become effective it would have
had the effect Of saving TO the ship
pers and consumers of this state a
sum approximating 100000 per an
mum.
The railroads. however. refused
to obey this order and through and
by the intervention Of the so-called
Commerce Court secured an injun
ton by an ex-parte showing on ques-
tons of law and without any refer
ence whatever to the merits of the
questions involved.
The Commerce Court continued
to show its contempt of the rights of
shippers and consumers in a great
number OF cases which were taken
before it on appeal by the railroads.
from the orders of the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
As shown by the annual report Of
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion for the year ending June 30,
1911, page 50, this court out Of a to
tai Of 81 cases rendered restraining
orders for final DEGREES in favor ct
the railroads in all but seven cases
and OF those sever only three are OF
any material benefit to the people.

that all are wondering and which is
creating a great deal Of comment in
this city by practically everyone is,
that before Congressman Roberts re-

in practically its every issue, the

and attitude on the Mint and other
questions. Since the day Roberts
returned to this state to begin his
present campaign no one word has
appeared in that paper for or against

care in selecting them. They should be

become a pink and white beauty adapt
ed to the plain pearl spheres worn tight
to the ears. Those queer gypsy rings OF
