o! Mcintosh. The lact named Yau
elected only yesterday to succeed the
late Representative Atwood. He Ind
no opposition.
Gov. Slaton's niccs age will he read
tomorrow.
The house, SO fnr. io without real
lends. Just who will make himself the
Napoleon OF the representatives is yet
to be discovered. but It is probable
that out OF the rank and flle some gen.
eral will arise before tho session IL
well under way.
The equalization bin Is likely to
bring on the big fight of tho yeur. 1t
passed last session. by baro one vote
and It's opponents are confident OF re-
pealing 1t this year. Tho b!il prohib-
}fting the shipment OF liquor into dry

heartily back OF the plaza plan and the
leaders say the state would profit au
much as the city by cooperating in
putting tho splaza across.
The salary versus the fee system
arises again in Representative Nc
Michacl's bill to put Solicitor-general
on straight salary. While 1t would
materially reduce the income of soil

OF odvantagef- in quiet counties where
cnses are fe. and fees far between.
