New Congress Meets This p. M.
(By Associated Press.)

Mexico City, No. 2o.-lt was
regarded as not improbable that
Huerta will resign after the new
congress ratified his acts as die
tator. This would preclude his
being called to account for his
acts by some future administra-
ton. He personally read his mes
sage to the new congress, in whclh
he asked for ratification of his
actions since the dissolution of the
former congress. In the message
ne charged congress with being
the handiwork of rebels and for
that reason dissolved 1t.
It is believed he will not meet
with much obstruction in his plans
as the representatives seem to be
in favor of his policy.

GOVERNOR, BREWER WILL URGE
LEGISLATION FOR IMPROVE
MENT OF HIGHWAYS.
OTHER IMPORTANT MATTERS
Message viii Renew Recommendation
For Court of Appeals, Better System
Keeping Acoounts-BeIieved He Will
Favor Convention.

Jackson, Miss, Nov. Ex-Governor
Brewer will commence next week the
preparation of his biennial message to
the legislature, to be submitted on
the first Monday in January.
Reports from the various depart |
ments of state government are being |
submitted to the Governor, and from
these he will CLEAN much information
on the subjects to be discussed in the
message. g.
Thus far Gov. Brewer has not pub
licly announced any OF the recommen
dations he Intends to m IKE to the law
makers. 1t is known, however, that
he will renew a number of the recon-
mendations made at the last session
and which, for various reasons, were
not enacted into statutes. Among
these is the creation of a court of ap-
peals, with jurisdiction defined some
what higher than that of circuit and
chancery courts, and which the Cover
nor believes can be established with
out the necessity of a constitutional
amendment.
The subject of good roads will oc-
cupy large share of attention, as this
is one of Gov Brewers most earnest
hobbies. He is anxious to see all sur
plus convict 9abcr utilized in the con-
struction of modern highways, and will
probably urge the creation of state
highway commission to further the
cause of good roads.
Much interest is being manifested
in the Governors probable attitude to-
ward the proposed constitutional con-
vention, and his close personal and
political friends believe that he will
!, favor a bill calling convention for
revision of the organic law.
In event the constitutional conven-
ton is authorized there will be little
likelihood of another scrap between
the Governor and the legislature on
the question of an elective judiciary
the amendment providing for that
form of judicial system having been
defeated two years ago through Gov
Brewers veto of the bill carrying il
. into effect A test case is now pend
ing in the courts, and it is probable
that the elective judiciary advocates
will be contented to wait until the
constitutional convention and then put
their measure through. However
should it become apparent that con
stitutional convention is not going tt
be ordered, there will be very livel,
:, tilt between the Governor and the law
makers over this troublesome question
for the Governor would undoubtedl!
