tors to Be Asked to Work

today at noon.

Governor O'Neal to call an extra session
of the legislature.
II is the general opinion that a ma
iority OF the members of both houses
OF the legislature will assist Jefferson
county in making the anti-fee amendment
effective, so that new officials. to be
chosen next year, may be paid salaries,
instead of being remunerated by. fees. All
OF the members who have expressed
themselves have stated their willingness
to aid In bringing the lawmakers to-
gether for this purpose, for it is generally
recognized that Jefferson's greatest in
cubus is the fee system.
1t is expected that all of the legisla-
tors of Jefferson will attend the meeting
today except Senator Hugh Morrow. who
Is recovering from an operation for ap-
peEdicitis.

MAKE INCREASE IN
POSTOFFICE BILL

Washington, February 17.-An Increase
of nearly s3,000,000 in the annual postof-
fee appropriation bill was made by the
Senate committee on postoffices, which
reported the measure to the Senate to-
day. The total asked for Is $3.50, ,4S7, ,442; ;
the sum including an increase of 81, ,500,-
600 in railway mail pay occasioned in
part by establishment of the parcel post
new Weighing of the mails, covering
period of 80 days from September 10,
1913, is provided by the bill as reported
to the Senate. This step is recommended
because the parcel post has greatly in
creased the weight of the mails and the
railroads claim they are entitled to COM
pensation on a new basis. The bill also
would stop the present practice of car
rying second class mail on fast freight
trains.
The plan of allowing communities to
nominate their postmasters is embodied
in the bill and would apply to all fourth
class postoffices where the postmasters'
salary is more than 5000. The bill does
not make much nomination compulsory.

WITHDRAW FREIGHT
TRANSIT ORDERS

Washington. February 17.-All re-
quirements and orders providing for
enforcement of freight transit priv
ileges now in effect were withdrawn
today by the interstate commerce com
mission. This action leaves open the
entire subject of transit privileges on
all commodities particularly on grain
and lumber.
Under the decision announced today
by Commissioner McCord not only are
previous orders of the commission with
drawn, having served their purpose.
but the railroads are permitted to file
tariffs providing for the lawful ex-
ercise of transit practices upon grain
and other commodities If difficult
ties arise over the new tariffs the
commission will endeavor to grant re-
lief from specific intolerable conditions,

proceedings instituted by shippers

HER ARMY STRENGTH

sive plans for increasing the strength
of the army to counterbalance the new
military measures now pending before
the German imperial parliament. The
scheme win be submitted to the cham

munition wagons. This will be fol-
lowed by a second request for $780,
100000 to rearm all branches of the

perts.
The public is greatly impressed by
the German project for increasing the
peace footing of the German army to
$1,000 men.

the courts has been made in speeches.
