Oppose A Convention.

The advocates of constitutional
convention are apparently making
very little Roadway. When the leg
islature convened they were almost
rampant with enthusiasm, but their
ardor has cooled somewhat under the
chilly reception accorded the plan in
certain influential quarters.
The South Mississippi delegation,
strange to say, is not an unit on the
proposition, although it is the south
ern counties that expect to benefit by
a revision of the organic law, espe-
cially in securing new apportfon-
ment of representation.
The northern and delta county rep
resentatives are almost solid against
any tinkering with the constitution
either in the way of a convention or
through amendments that may be
proposed, and thus far the two com
mittees on constitution have had lit
tie to do, although numerous concur
rent resolutions have been offered.

After the Railroads.

Senator W. X. McLaurin, of vicks-
burg, wants the interstate commerce
commission to pass Judgment on the
equipment of the various railway lines
In the state, and has introduced a con-
current resolution to this effect in
the senate.
According to railway officials, the in
terstate commerce commission is
about as familiar with the equipment
of railroads in this state as in any
other commonwealth, as its inspec
tors make trips here for that purpose
therefore, they offer no objection to
the McLaurin resolution.
However, the railroads are some
what concerned over the McLaurir
bill which provides that when pas
senger trains are running behind theil
/ schedules beyond a specified period
special trains must be put in service

of the removal of the white convicts
from that place to the big Parchman
farm in Sunflower county.
The committee makes an admirable
suggestion to the effect that the Ran
kin farm be devoted hereafter to
truck farming, and the growing of di-
versified crops; that canning factory
and grist mill be established, and
more modern methods of agriculture
employed.
If a good portion of the Rankin
place should be devoted to truck farm
ing the city of Jackson could furnish
a ready market for practically all of
its crops, leaving surplus products to
be canned. The suggestion, it is I'M
derstood, meets with the cordial ap-
proval of DR.. J. c. Gathings, the SUI
perintendent.

and they are making jocular inquiry
of the author as to the points from
which he expects to have the special
started, and whether his plan, If
adopted, will make it necessary to
keep a special train steamed up and
in waiting at each local station. For
illustration, should No. 1, the south
bound limited ON the Illinois Central,
be two hours late due to delays north
of Memphis, will the McLaurin bill
require that the special be started
from Sardis, Batesville, Grenada, Wi
mona, Canton, Jackson or McComb,
or from all of these places.
One railroad bill now pending that
is practically certain to pass requires
that all locomotives be equipped with
electric headlights. Several Of the
largest systems in the state, notably
the Illinois Central, do not use cleo
trio headlights although they provide
incandescent lights for Pullmans and
observation cars. This is an old sub
ject that has been fought over in the
legislature for the past six years. and
it stalks forth regularly at each ses-
sion.

Jackson, Miss, Jan. 27.-Chairman
Stennis. of the house committee on
ways and means, states that the body
will get down to business during the
coming week, and the members will
be put through swift pace until all
necessary revenue measures are franz
ed and made ready for consideration.
Although the legislature has been
in session nearly month, the ways
and means committee has held but
one meeting. However, Chairman
Stennis has not been idle. and there
has been no necessity for sessions,
since data relative to the states f.
nances must be gotten before any
actual work can be done.
AS to prospective revenues, Chair
man Stennis states that the amount
in sight will be about 100000 less
than last year, due to various causes
This means that there must be some
stiff increases in privilege taxes, as
suggested by Gov. Brewer in his in
augural address, and the legislature is
also expected to adopt the income and
inheritance tax plans.
There has been very little said, and
nothing whatever actually done by
the lawmakers thus far toward Gre
ating state board of equalization for
tax assessments, although this is in
reality one of the much-needed meas
ures.

Lower Interest Rates,

The passage by the lower house of
the bill reducing the contract rate of
interest from ten to eight per cent, and
exemption from taxation of all mon
ey loaned at six per cent or less, puts
that question squarely before the SEN
ate where some members had been
led to believe that they might not be
compelled to force the issue, owing to
the adverse report on similar meas
ure from the judiciary committee.
The senate will take up the two
measures next Wednesday, both hav-
ing been made the special order for
that day, and they will be considered
jointly.
The state and national banking in
situations have made very little fight
against the two measures, and some
bankers frankly declare that they
don't care: that practically all of
their loans are negotiated at the
basis rate of eight per cent anyway,
and dividends will not be- greatly re-
duced by the measure.
1t is the foreign building and loan
concerns that are greatly worried,
some of the representatives of these
corporations declaring that 1t will
force them to quit business in this
state.

A PLEA FOR COOPERATION IN
MATTERS SANITARY.

Sanitation, sanity, insanity all come
from the same Latin root. Interest
in sanitation is simply an evidence of
saneness, sound-mindedness.
Hattiesburg must be made clean,
healthful city. This is big under
taking. Much has been done, but
much remains yet to be done.
This is no time for grumbling and
quarreling.
The Commissioners are doing all
that can be done with the money at
their command.
But they can and ought to pass ordi-
nances requiring:
|. Renters and property owners to
keep premises and vacant lots clean
and free from weeds--their back
yards as clean pr cir front yards.

Expressed in plan vernacular. Gov.
ernor Brewer has told the advocates
of a constitutional convention to "for-
get it," and his straightforward decla-
ration opposition has dampened the
ardor of some of the advocates of a
constitutional convention.
Gov. Brewer stated that he believes
South Mississippi is entitled to a
larger representation in the legisla-
ture, but he insists that the best and
most direct method of securing more
adequate representation is by an
amendment, and not through q con.
vention.
In thus declaring his attitude, Gov.
Brewer antagonizes some of his warm.
est friends in the legislature who
have been making an insistant de.
mand for a convention, but 1t Is said
that the Governor has a majority OF
the legislature with him on the con
stitutional convention question, and
there is little prospect of reversal in
sentiment prior to the final adjourn
ment.

ance has applied sedatives to anoth-
er bill seeking to make the Illicit sale

demeanor, as at present, S. B. No. 1874

Members of the committee have
been deluged with letters from the
temperance leaders over the state
earnestly urging this amendment to
the statutory prohibition law, and cit
ing the fact that a statute Of this
character is in successful operation
in Texas.

It's farewell to the rattle, according
to the state senate, a measure having
passed that body yesterday which
makes any game of chance Of this
character a form of gambling.
II the bill becomes a law It will bar
the candy. raffies, = baseball ! player
boards, and similar devices whereby
enterprising tobacco dealers and con
fectioners dispose of their wares.
-- Guessing contests are put within
the same category, and the bill has
been so cleveriy framed that almost
any game of chance can be brought
within its provisions.
However, it is sometimes far cry
from the passage of a law to the en-
forcement thereof, as is demonstrated
by the fact that slot machines have
been barred by the Mississippi stat
utes for several years, yet they are
operated in goodly numbers in the
principal cities of the state, usually
being put out Of sight just prior to
each grand jury session.

Members from the county of Pike
are promised all sorts of trouble dur
ing the next week. Contrary to ex-
pectations, the old scheme for the
creation Of the county of walthall
from portions of Pike and Marion has
bobbed up serenely again, with the
usual aggressive forces behind it.
AS was the case In Harrison and
adjoining counties when an effort was
made to create the new county of
Stone, the walthall county, case got
into the courts after the. election was
held. some charges Of serious charac-
ter concerning the method Of hold
ing the election were made, and the
ultimate result was defeat Of the
project.
However, the citizens OF Tylertown.
who are anxious to have that place
made the county seat, are ready for a
fresh fray, and petitions are in circu-
lation asking that the new county be
created. The usual big delegation
will accompany the petition to Jack
son.
Also, Pike county Is threatened
with fight to secure the removal of
the county seat from Magnolia to Nc
Comb, and this is where State Sena-
tor Joe Norwood is promised a bunch
Of trouble. Magnolia is his home
town, and, as Senator Norwood views
it, there is not better spot on earth
for the county seat of Pike, or any
other county. The petitioners. it is
understood, will merely ask the legis.
lature for authority to hold an cleo.
i ton on the subject.

of the chancery courts of Mississippi
