court of Spring Valley having concur

court of La Sale county.
What will happen to the town clerk
OF La Sale is to be determined later.
No Light on Suffrage Decision.
Under ordinary circumstances the
Craig writ would have indicated, in a
way, that the supreme court in its
forthcoming opinion on the woman
suffrage acts constitutionality was
prepared to hand down an opinion,
holding that women do not possess
the right to vote in local option cleo
lions. although possessing the right to
vote for statutory officers.
This would be in line with the con-
tention of the attorneys who fought
the constitutionality of the suffrage
act, who argued orally that the main
question could be divided.
The opinion now seems TO be pretty
general that the result will be TO hold
the act constitutional. Justice Craig's
writ, therefore, would not be at all in
dicative of the feeling of the court
and would have operated simply as
stopping the particular election in La
Sale. which forms a formidable sec
ton OF the supreme court district from
which he was elected at the special
election last fall.

journ for the April term some time

ASKS The NATION
TO BUY Rail WAYS
Lewis Wants Purchase Made,
After Which Lines Can Be
Leased at Profit.
SAME SCHEME FOR SHIPS
Illinois Senator Also Offers Measure to
Create Powerful Federal Trade
Commission.

Washington, ID. c.. April 14.-Three
measures, proposed as cures for near
ly all the ills of the body polite. were
introduced in the senate yesterday by
Senator Lewis of Illinois.
In one of the bills Mr.. Lewis pro-
poses the acquisition of all interstate
railroads by the government. He would
have the government issue bonds to
cover the purchase price. lease the
roads to private capital, which would
be guaranteed a profit of not less than
per cent, and apply the excess earn
ings to the retirement of the bond is
sue.
Another measure proposes the crea-
ton of a commission of 21 members
which would supplant the present in
terstate commerce commission and the
federal reserve board and perform the
functions of the trade commission con
templated in pending trust legislation
One division of seven members would
regulate transportation, another divis-
ion banking and finance, and a third
interstate merchandising.
The third bill proposes that the gov
eminent build 100 merchant vessels
from the proceeds or bond issue anu
lease their operation upon the plan sug-
gested in the case OF railroads.
Tells Advantage of Plan.
These bills" Senator Lewis said,
represent the trinity of my labors in
the senate, and to their passage I in
tend to devote my best endeavors. The
enactment of such legislation would
solve permanently the problems of
transportation rates, prices and wages,
and the control of business by the fed
eral government and the states, elm
mate graft and special privilege, build
up a merchant marine, supply battle
ships TO the government in time OF |
war, promote peace between capital |
and labor. give work to the unem- |
ployed, and bring about an era of pros
perity."

The record of the La Sale case was
filed in the supreme court yesterday
Reliable information Is that no official
notice of his action will be taken by
Justice Craig's colleagues. but that II

suited the rules of practice of the

The anti-saloOn leagues are reported

estoppage OF the La Sale election and
are said TO be prepared TO make fight
before the full bench to have the Craig
supersedeas writ set aside. The drys
admit that the proposed battle is with
out effect. inasmuch as the La Sale
election was knocked out and IL Is too
late to get actual results through re-
versal of Justice Craig's order. They
do want a disavowal of the precedent
which was established and hope to
make it impossible for a local option

liar action in the future.
The La Sale case originally was in
the hands of Lee O'Neil Browne, who,
as attorney for the La Sale saloon in
terests. sought to invalidate the dry
petition He failed in this.
The supersedeas writ was sought
from Justice Craig at Galesburg. He
granted the writ according to a claim
made here today, at 4 o'clock on the
afternoon of the election. In the
