Important Measure Passed
in Short Order With Prac-
tically No Debate and Lit
tie Opposition.
MANY OTHER BILLS
COME TO FINAL VOTE
House Has Busy Day in
Spite of the Obstructive
Tactics Employed Recall
Bill Plank in the Demo
cratic Platform.

The house Of representatives passed
one of the most important measures
that has been introduced during the
present session, with as little trouble
and debate as any of the most minor
importance. 1t was the recall and was
approved late Monday afternoon. When
the bill came up it was stated on the
floor that the measure is so sweeping
as to include even school and road dis
trict officers as well az other officials
holding more important offices. The
measure is known as house bill No.
ISL. by Giles. 1t is a platform plank
and clothes the constitutional amend
lnent with the necessary statutory
power to put it into force and effect.
Regardless of obstruction tactics
the house did a big days business
passing practically all the bills re-
commended by the house sitting COM
mittee. Measures passed during the
late afternoon and evening follow:

Committee of the Whole
Votes to Indefinitely Post
pone Corrupt Practices
and Voting by Mail Meas
ures.
SPEAKER APPEARS IN
BEHALF OF HIS BILL
Alfred Urges the Senate to
Pass Measure Providing
for Important Changes in
Primary Election Law OF
the State.

The Alfred direct primary revision
law seeking to conduct future primary
elections by mail together with the
corrupt practice act introduced in the
senate, were given what are believed
to be death blows by the. upper house
last night, when, after considering
both at length in the committee of the
whole, the committee adopted reports
that both be indefinitely postponed.
Their indefinite postponement was only
prevented by the friends of the two
measures moving an adjournment.
Speaker Alfred appeared before the
senate in support Of his bill which had
passed the house by almost unanimous
vote. Even the detailed explanation
and strong argument the speaker made
for the bill could not save it. Those
members OF the senate opposed to the
measure held that 1t was too radical
in it's proposed changes; that it was
not safeguarded sufficiently to prevent
corruption of the ballot.
PREVENTS ADVERTISING.
The corrupt practice act was at
tack ed on the grounds that it went so
far as to even prevent legitimate ad-
vertising by candidates for office In
the newspapers of the state and made
violation of it's terms a felony.
Senator Pincock of Madison county
appeared in the senate with a clean
shaver face which Immediately in
spired the introduction Of a resolution
known as Senate Spot Resolution
No. l." which provides for formal
senate investigation to determine who
the stranger was who occupied the
seat credited to the senator from Mad
ison county.
IMPORTANT RULING MADE.
Lieutenant Governor Parker made
an important ruling during the after
noon to the effect that resolution
proposing an amendment to the con-
stitution requires a two-thirds vote.
1t is said that therefore both houses
have been passing resolutions on a ma
jority vote. His ruling resulted in the
defeat of senate joint resolution No.
8. by Evans. briggs and Wedgewood,
submitting a constitutional amendment
giving the legislature authority to pro-
vide for a state land board.

HOUSE ENDORSES
THE PRESIDENTS
STAND IN CRISIS
Resolution Passed Severely
Condemning the Tactics
of Senators Who Con-
Quoted Recent Filibuster.

The hlibuster tactics pursued by the
IL United States senators who forced
an adjournment of congress and de-
feated the bill to give the president
power to arm merchant ships for their
protection on the high seas, were
branded by the house Of representatives
of the Idaho legislature in "unmeas-
ured terms through a resolution
passed late Monday. The resolution
came from the Republican side of the
house with Representatives Daughters
and Miles as joint authors. The main
opposition to its passage came from
three Democrats led by Grice of Sho-
shone. The other two who went on
record as against the resolution were
Hussman of Idaho county and Lehrbas
of Bannock. Thorne, Republican, of
washington county, also voted against
IL.
Grice held the legislature of the state
to be interfering in something it had
nothing to do with. He claimed there
was enough ILL feeling. II stand behind
the president" said Grice, "as strongly
as anyone, but l do not stand behind
the president so far as these proceed
ings are concerned" He held that the
shipment Of munitions should have
been stopped from this country long
ago and declared that if they had been
there would not now be so many
widows and orphans in Europe.
Representatives Miles of Nez Perce
and Anderson of Canyon championed
the resolution. Miles stated that while
he did not vote for President Wilson
he was behind him in a national crisis
at all times. Anderson held the resolu-
ton represented the feeling of the peo-
pie of Idaho.
RESOLUTION PASSED.
The resolution follows:

resentatives, the senate concurring:
THAT we condemn in unmeasured
terms the attitude Of the IL senator's.
who by their filibuster in the senate of

Bayview has been we'll called the
Peoples Playground. None are too
poor to enjoy the pleasures of this
resort, which is in waking distance
of the city. For those who must
ride, five cent fare takes them to
the park, and the public dressing
rooms give them accommodation. For
others, more able to pay, there are
private rooms, for small sum.
Pensacola has been advertised as q
summer resort, and the summer eli
mate is ideal. The healthfll, pine
laden air, the soft breezes from the
gulf, the tang of the salt and the
beauty of the Southern nights, and
the wonderful reaches of water, make
of this city a spot ideal in its sum-
mer possibilities.

No city in the world offers greater

The necessary arrangements are

AGRICULTURE, LIVE
STOCK AND ORCHARD
PROGRESS IS NOTABLE
What Can Be Done Proved
BY What Is Being
Done.

Few people realize the develop
ment of agriculture in West Florida;
IN fact it is somewhat or a conjecture
to the average Pensacolian because
few there are who go beyond the con-
fines of their own county, save by
rail or water. But to the man who
passes over this section occasionally
into the farming communities, it is
truly reality in every sense Of the
word-an indisputable fact. Some
sections are forging ahead more rap
idly than others, but all are develop
ing agriculturally.
Perhaps the greatest effort of de-
velopment along this line; surely the
most noticeable and to our idea of
permanence is to be found in the
Munson section of northern Santa
Rosa county, where miles and miles
of fence have already enclosed thou
sands of fertile acres and fence con-
struction continuing in spite of the
high prices prevailing in fencing.
This is all the work of the Florida
Live Stock and Agricultural Farm
which in short time will make its
influence for good notably fell
throughout this section. 1t was re

Live stock it is said will be on
of the greatest features of this in
dustry. In all, eighteen farms ant
two stock ranches comprise the Flor
ida Live Stock and Agricultural Farm
and it has total of five thousan'
acres under fence at the present.

hundred head in all of this class.
These will be used chiefly to breed

Two dipping watts are a part of the
farm equipment.
Leaving the cattle ranches, we
drove to the hog farm, where we
found an ideal location and conditions
for this work. On this farm that
has been inhabited by the hog fam
lily but few months we found sixty
registered Duroc Jerseys which are
descendants of the international
grand champion boar Defender.
Some of these were exhibited at
the Escambia and West Florida fairs
this season, carrying off many prizes.
