PETITIONS ARRIVE
AT pOWELL'S OFFICE
ONE ON GAME LAW HAS MORE
THAN $500 NAMES
SIGNED TO IT.

Jackson, July 3.-Petitions against
several of the laws passed at the last
session of the legislature have arrived
at the office of Secretary of State Joe
w. Power. These petitions to be Legal
should arrive at this office not later
than the night of July Z, that being 10
days after adjournment of the law
makers.
! II seems that some one is fostering
! the movement in financial way, as
all of the petitions are on printed
forms and are we'll gotten up. Num-
bers of names fill each one and it Is
/ certain that all of the petitions will
| have enough names to call an election.
! The three laws that seem to be
against the will of the greatest num-
Der of persons are the prohibition bill.
I the game law and the law looking for
permanent improvements. This last
named bill includes the old capitol
bill and work on this structure will
now possibly be held up until after
the election on the fourth of Novem-
ber
There is a section on amendments
to the constitution that provides that
the law in question shall be set aside
after petitions are received ana shall
be held in allegiance until the people
vote on them. This would hold up the
old capitol work, cause the original
whiskey bill to go
back into effect and suspend the game
law.
There is still some question among
the legal fraternity as to the right to
enforce this section and possibly the
Supreme Court will render an opinion
on it as soon as possible.
One petition that has arrived at the
secretary's office against the game
law contained SAT names, and it came
from Pontotoc county. Another coun.
ty that is strongly against this law is
the home county Of Game Warden z.
T. Brantley, and still another is Ne
shoba, where he has a law office.
What will be the final disposal OF
the laws in question remains to be
seen. Some think that they viii be
repealed and others say they will stand
as written by the solons at their last
sitting.
