new LH KNOCKED OUT
THE SUPREME COURT DECIDES
AGAINST NEW LAW AND ARoL-
ISLES OFFICE.
JuristS DO Not Pass On Initiative and
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Stone De-
posIts Discovered BY State ceOIo-
aist Lowe.

Jacksonville supreme court of Mis-.
sissippi sitting in banc handed down q
decision declaring the fish and game
law unconstitutional and abolishing
the office of fish and game commits
sioneF.
The decision was reached without
deciding the initiative and referen-
dunn law and was determined upon
the constitutionality of the measure
itself. The court considered the two
cases Of the state ex rel ]. H. Howie,
district attorney, VS.. 2. A. Brantley,
fish and game commissioner, and the
state ex rel VS.. Sim Robinson.
The court sidestepped the question
involved in the initiative and referen-
dunn vote which abolished the law and
the opinion handed down clearly init
mates that the supreme court judges
were unable to get a majority vote
either way.
The decision leaves the status Of
the initiative and referendum Just as
1t was.
The two cases came up from the
lower courts where they were decided
upon the merits Of the initiative and
referendum. In the lower courts a de-
cision was given declaring the initia-
tive and referendum illegally adopted
and unfolding the law and commission
it created. The decision of the SUI
preme court reverses this and gives
Judgment along an entirely different
line, and based upon different argu-
ments wholly ignoring the reasoning
of the lower court.

FAVOR UNIVERSAL SERVICE
Senate Military Committee Makes Re.
port Advocating Six Months'
Training

Washington.-The senate military
committee reported favorably a bill
framed by a subcommittee creating a
military and naval citizen reserve
force, based on universal military
training and service.
While the committee report does
not indicate any relief that congress
will act on the measure at this ses.
sion, the bill brings to a definite head
the universal service discussion of the
last few months and offers a specific
plan on which public sentiment can
crystalline.
The bill requires six months train.
ing without pay for all youths during
their nineteenth year. Exceptions are
confined to the members of the regu.
lar army and navy, those physically
UNIT, those who are the sole support
of dependent relatives and those affl-
lated with religious creeds which for.
bid them to bear arms. The latter
class are liable, however, for train
ing in the noncombatant branches Of
the army.
1t is estimated the bill would pro-
vide for the training of SOC, 900 boys
annually, each of whom would be fur
Laughed into a reserve for nine years
after his training period. With allow
ances for shrinkage of classes due to
various causes as the years pass, this
plan would give a total force of $780,
600 men who had six months training
at the end Of the first nine-year cycle,
all subject to call for service only in
the event Of a defensive" war or the
imminence thereof.
