NEW YORK, Aug. 5.--Possibly with

because London kept holiday, the
stock market lapsed into idleness
most OF today. IL the episode in chi
cago were being taken very seriously
as a factor in the years political out

contrived to brighten itself at the ex.
traordinary propositions in federal
legislation set forth in the tentative
draft OF the conventions platform.
But today such things were discuss
ed vaguely and the stock market
moved as II quite Indifferent to pol
itics. The trend OF prices. where
there was any movement whatever,
was upward. The few stocks which
declined on Saturday-Re Reading and
Union Pacific, for instance-more
than regained their losses of that day.
But the activity was purely profess

The above was uttered iercely by
Mayor r. T. Howse, OF Nashville,
Tenn, Monday morning. In Mayor

TO Detroit TO get tips on how 10 run

an interesting statement 10 The
Times, telling how he, as mayor OF
Nashville. had set nj naught the pro
Libition laws OF his state, wnen he
was asked what he thought OF the
alleged aldermanic gratters. Howse
exploded. But listen TO Howse as he
tells how he violated the laws of Ten
nessee:
The prohibition law was passed In
1909 and was due TO a variety OF is
sues before a fusion legislature lis
purpose was 10 abolish the saloon, and
Tennessee was supposed TO be dry,
But soon after the law was passed the
saloons which had been converted
into soft drink parlors began selling
whisky and beer. When one wanted
whisky he would call for a certain
kind OF soft drink and he would be
served with whisky with a little soft
drink in the whisky. IL he wanted
beer he would call for beerette.
When | was elected mayor OF the city
that fall threw the town wide open
law or no law The law was passed
by fanatics and you couldn't get any
jury in Tennessee TO convict any one
for violating the law We are now
after its repeal"
But when you let the saloons open
in defiance of the law how did you
proceed 20 regulate them he was
asked
II regulated them myself, replied
the executive. his eyes flashing, his
thin black mustache bristling Il
made the laws myself let them

When | was elected and gave the
saloonkeepers TO understand that

number Of people demanded that

they can't have saloons, After all
IL was the principle OF home rule and
the people or Nashville wanted sa
looms. ran on that platform last
October and was reelected for anoth-
er. two-years, SO you can see for your
self what the people OF Nashville
thought OF the law.
But Mr.. Howse was vehement when
II came-to denouncing the city Official
who will violate his oath OF Office.

The alterations proposed by Mr.
Farrar further provide:
Assessors and sheriffs now in Of.
flee will be permitted to serve their
terms out under the present laws,
but thereafter the parish police ju-
ries and municipal councils shall have
power to provide for collection and

The section abolishing the State
boards of equalizers and appraisers
is amended to let the incumbents
serve out their terms.
To meet the conflicting demands
for and objections to the continuance
Of the special local taxes, Mr.. Far
rar proposes that direct special
taxes for special school, drainage and
road districts shall be levied upon
property reserved for State taxation
situated in the several special dis
tricts, and whenever the revenues of
the State will allow, it shall be the
duty of the Legislature to permit such
direct special taxes to be deducted
by the taxpayer from the taxes lev
led by the State"
On this same point, another pro-
posal would have the special taxes
upon State taxed property based up
on "the assessment made by the
State Tax Commission for State pur-
poses equalized annually in each par
ish or municipality by said commits
sion to the basis Of assessment local
ly established and in operation in
each parish of municipality"
The Legislature is required to set
aside each year for the general
school fund at least $1,O90,0OO, and
for the general levee and engineer
ing fund at least 100000. This is
in addition to $500 for the interest
and sinking fund for the public debt.
