NO SPECIAL SESSION lust NOW
GOV. COLQUlTT MAKES STATE
MENT ON PRIMARY LAW.
Declared That Majority Of Members Of
Legislature Had Opposed Special
Call for immediate Future.

Austin, Tex.-Goyernor Colquitt dis
PEELED any idea of special session
Tuesday when he issued statement
to the effect that he had concluded
it unWise to call one now. However,
the governor leaves the gate down and
implies that later in the year there
may be a special session called for
amendment Of the penitentiary laws,
for a land credit union law and a
warehouse law.
Most of the members of the fegis-
lature have expressed themselves IA
Vorable to warehouse and land credit
union laws and penitentiary legisla-
ton. If conditions seem to warrant
and justify session for that purpose
after the primary elections, one may
be called.
The statement issued by the govern
or in part follows:
my original proposition was that if
both factions in the democratic party
would ask me to do so, would call
the legislature together to amend the
primary election law, as indicated. |
do not consider that the answers of
the members of the legislature amount
to such request. In fact, the answers
show sharp division of the members
on this question. Many of them say
they are not in favor of an amendment
to the law which would require sec
Ond primary. Others, in their tele-
grams, openly declare themselves op-
posed to any change from the present
system.
Il have received replies from %
senators, seven not having replied.
OF the 20 answers heard from IL OPP
pose a special session for the purpose
mentioned. Six favor it and five are
noncommittal.
There are 142 members of the
house, out of which there are six va
cancies. have replies from 116
members of the. house, 81 of whom
advise an extra session for the pur-
pose mentioned and 50 advising
against it. Twenty-seven are noncom-
initial.
Members of the legislature think
that a special session at this time
would open the flood gates of politics,
and for that reason advise against
calling one. Besides, l have received
many letters from citizens advising
against special session at this time.

GOVERNMENT STARTS WAR ON LIVING COST
Parcel Post Soon to Open New Ave.

Washington. - Preliminary steps
were taken this week by the postof-
flee department to perfect its plan
of reducing the cost Of living by hav-
ing the parcel post carry farm prod

sumner.
Ten cities-Boston, Atlanta, ST..
Louis, San Francisco, Baltimore, De-
troit, La Crosse, Wis; Lynn, Mass;
Rock Island, ILL.,, and Washington, D.
C.-were selected to begin the work
of establishing direct connection be-
tween producer and consumer, and Or
ders have been sent to the postmas-
tiers of these cities, directing them Ito
receive the names of persons who are
willing to supply farm products in re-
tail quantities by parcel post. Print
ed lists of these names will be dis
tributed among city and town post
masters.
Postmaster General Burleson al
ready has issued an order permitting
the use of crates and boxes for butter,
eggs, poultry, vegetables and fruit
shipped by parcel post.
by the use of these lists" said
First Assistant Postmaster General
Roper, ''the city consumer can get in
touch with a farmer who will fill his
weekly orders for farm products.
"The consumer will receive the
product fresh from the country and
the personal relationship established
no doubt will tend to improve the
quality The farmer will be relieved
of carrying his product to the market,
as the rural carrier will make daily
collections at the farmers own door
of the retail shipments to city consum-
ers."
The point has been raised that diff
ficulty will be experienced in the re-
turn of hampers, whose value would
not warrant their return, or he may
use the high grade hampers, for which
he may include an additional charge,
to be credited to the consumer on the
return of the hamper by parcel post.
"The postmaster general is con-
WINGED that this plan is the ono thing
necessary to enable the people of this
country to enjoy the potential bene-
fits of the parcel post"
