GOVERNOR GILcHRIST HAS
ISSUED HIS PROCLAMATION
Formal Call for Extra Session of Led
isIature is Made by Flori-
da's Governor.

allahassee.-Gov. Gilchrist has
issued his formal proclamation for an
extra session of the Florida Legsla-
ture. The session will begin at noon
Tuesday, the list day of October.
The proclamation is as follows.
Proclamation by the Governor:
Special Session of the Legislature.
State-o Florida,
Executive Department.
To all and Singular, the Senators and
Members of the House of Represen-
tatives of the State of Florida:
Whereas, it is considered that the
interests of the commerce and indus
trial development of the State of
Florida demand that as soon as prac-
ticable legislation be enacted by the
Legislature of the State of Florida for
the purpose of giving authority to the
city of Jacksonville to own, operate,
and control municipal docks and ter.
minals; and
Whereas, 1t appears to be expedient
and necessary that such authority be
granted by an appropriate Legislation
at an earlier date than that fixed for
the next regular session of the Legs-
lature;
Now, Therefore, I, Albert w. Gill
christ, Governor of the State of FlOri-
da, by virture of the power invested
in me by the constitution, do hereby
convene the Legislature of the State
of Florida in special session at the
capital, in Tallahassee, on Tuesday,
the first day in October, A. D. 1912, at
IL o'clock, meridian, to consider and
act upon legislation to authorize and
empower the city of Jacksonville to
acquire, own, construct, equip oper-
ate, lease and control municipal docks
and terminals, including railroads; TO
acquire property and franchises for
such purposes, and to create certain
municipal offices for the city of Jack
sonville, and to prescribe the duties
thereof; to grant to the city of Jack
vile the right to widen or deepen the
channel of the st. Johns river, to fill
in, build up, have, possess, use and
own shoals, shadows, middle grounds
or flats therein; to authorize and en-
power the State and any officer or Of
ficers thereof to receive, hold and dis
burse any moneys that may be given
or paid by any corporation, associa-
ton or person to pay the expenses of
said special session of the Legisla-
ture, or to reimburse the State there
for; and legislation germane and per-
tinent to the above mentioned sub
jects.
In witness whereof, | have hereun-
to set my hand and caused the Great
Seal Of the State of Florida to be af-
fixed hereuntO. Done at the capital
this, the 18th day of August, A. D.
1912, and Of the independence of the
United States of America, the one
hundred and thirty-seventh year.
ALBERT w. GILCHRIST,
Governor.

MILITIA AGE SHOWS
GAIN IN THE STATE.
INCREASE OFF 57,1ss, OR 43.6 PER
CENT. BETWEEN 1900
AND 1910.
CENSUS REPORT ISSUED
In 1910 There Were 1853 Males of
Militia Age in the State
of Florida.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. to the sta
tistics of the thirteenth census, just
issued by the census bureau of the
federal government, the male pOpula
ton of Florida of militia age, Is to A
years, inclusive, increased 571SS be
tween the years of 1900 and 1910, or
1876 per cent. The total male popula
ton of militia age in the state in 1910
was 17l,6SS, while in 1900 it was Ia.
800.
1t is interesting to note that Florida
shows greater per cent increase in
militia population than the states of
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Wisconsin, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri,
Kansas, Maryland, Nebraka, Della
ware, Virginia, West Virginia. South
Carolina, North Carolina, Kentucky,
Tennessee, Alabeama, Mississippi,
Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, New
Mexico, Texas Georgia and Utah, for
the same period.
In the total population of the Uni
ted States exclusive of non-contig-
uous territories or possessions) there
We're in 1910 20, 473,GS4 males of mill
tia age, that is males from IS to A
years, inclusive. In 1900 the males of
militia age numbered 1G,1S2,7O2 The
figure for 1910 exceeds that of 1900
by 4,290,9S2. While the total popula-
ton of the country has increased dur
ing the decade 81 per cent, males of
militia age have in the same perod in
creased 26.5 per cent, and as a conse-
quence they constituted a somewhat
greater proportion of the total pOpula-
ton in 1910 than they did in 1900. Of
the total population of both sexes and
all ages in 1910 22.3 per cent were
males of militia age. The correspond
ing percentage for 1900 was 21,9.
The fact that males of militia age
increased more rapidly than the total
population is accounted for in part by
immigration, which has been during
the last decade, to a greater degree
than in earlier years, predominently
male. Among the immigrants the
proportion is to A years of age great
Iy exceeds the proportion in those
ages among natives, and consequent
ly the Northern and Western states
to which immigrants chiefly go have,
Us compared with the Southern states,
a greater proportion of their popula-
ton males of militia age. The east
ern divisions, howevr, lose some pro-
portion of their adult male population
by migration westward, and an effect
of this westward migration appears in
the higher percentages shown for the
Rocky Mountain and Pacific coast re-
gions.
AS compared with the general aver
age noted above for the country as a
whole, of 1913 per cent, males of mi
litia age in 1910 formed 22.S per cent.
of the total population in the four
northern divisions taken together, IS
per cent. in the two far western di-
and 1879 per cent in the three
southern divisions taken together.
The percentages in the individual
Northern states are with few eXcep.
tons close to the average of the coun.
try as a whole; in the far Western
states they are generally considerably
above and in the Southern states gen.
orally below this average.

While the matter has only been
considered informally, the commits
sioners of st. Johns have decided to
have a session shortly for the pur.
pose of considering a bond issue for
the construction of hard roads in the
county. The proposed bond issue
would be for. 100000 and a part of
this amount would be used in retir-

standing on road improvements. The
remainder, which would be about
100000, would be used for building
good roads in ST. Johns.
