ASSOCIATED PRESS SUMMARY.
Even the actual entry of women
soldiers into the battle on the East
en front has been insufficient to i'm
bue the ranks of recalcitrant Rus
SLAMS with patriotism. From the
Baltic to the Black sea only at one
point, in southern Carpathians have
the Russians shown some of the ola
fighting spirit. Here, fighting with
the Rumanians they captured several
villages and broke heavily fortified
Teuton line.
The German advance in Galicia is
approaching the important railroad
junction of Buozaoz.
Hostilities on the Aisne front have
ceased. Only artillery duels are in
progress.
The Germans were successful III
winning two hundred yards Of
trenches from the British east OF
Monchy lie Preux. They used liquid
fire.
British airrnen bombed and caused
severe damage to the German sub
marine base at Zeebrugges, also the
town of Bruges.

war and will go through with it, but
any hope Of short struggle has gone
glim1nering with the apparent almost
collapse of the Russian war machine
Fer the United States the Russian
collapse may have an immediate di-
rect bearing. If the Germans press
their advantage, it will release addi-
tional Teuton forces to bolster up the
western front, where the American
forces may be engaged. American
transportation problems on land and
sea are constantly increasing in
scope.

, this measure states that he is not
small enough to seek to punish the
present holder of this office, that he
has nothing against Governor Cats
nor his son-in-law, but that as a
member of the last house of repre-
sentatives he voted against the crea-
ton OF this office, that it costs one
man in his county forty thousand
dollars a year annually, that it is
an unfair way to raise revenue in
order to increase the business pres
tigo of Jacksonville, Pensacola or
any other CITY, that he stated in his
recent campaign that he would try
to have the Office abolished, that he
is under promise to his people to do
this, that he can show letters he
wrote advocating the abolition of
the office before the appointment of
Mr.. Kempster Paderich by Governor
Cats, that the law is bad and should
be done away with as soon as posi-
bic.
There is considerable talk among
the members about increasing their
pay. It is cited that the legislators
are now drawing six dollars a day for
the sixty days they are in session
and that this is the same amount
they received years and years ago.
But the price OF rations have run
the cost of board up to double what
it used to be. The local hotels and
boarding houses VIII this year charge
members from sixty dollars up for
room and board, putting two in a
room. House rent and taxes are
higher and the prices of food stuffs
are about double what they were
when the salary of the members of
the legislature was fixed at six dol
lars per day. The salary of mem
bers can be raised by legislative en-
actment.

Political Gossip at Capital
On Plans of Legislature

Tallahassee, March 17.-Repre-
sentative Amos Lewis, Of Mariana,
Jackson county, is working on a joint
resolution which he win ask the IT
legislature to adopt, submitting to
the people constitutional amend
ment that VII abolish all the boards
of county commissioners and school
boards. 1t win provide that all OF
the business now transacted by these
two boards be attended to by boards
that will consist of the various coun-
0ty officers, assisted by the county
attorneys, the latter being a member
of the county boards, just as the at
torney general is q member of the
various state boards. The. sheriff,
having so many bills that need ap-
proving, would probably not be a
member of the county board, but the
clerk Of the court, tax assessor and
collector, county judge, registration
officer and school superintendent
would be-
Mr.. Lewis points out the fact that
more than $4,000 is spent annually
in this state in mileage for the mem
bers Of the school boards and coun-
Fty commissioners to travel back ard
forth attending meetings. The
meetings Of the new county boards,
under Mr. Lewis constitutional

rising flour in Florida VII be pro-
posed by those who claim that the
chemicals put into the -four to make
it rise are injurious. 1t is stated
that the pure food laws simply re-
quire that the contents be labeled on
the sack or barrel, but the injurious
elements are not prohibited. 1t is
said that the domestic science de-
partments of the various colleges
have boycotted self-rising flours long
since and that considerable money
has already been raised among the
grocery people of Jacksonville to
maintain lobby here for the pas
sage of this bill. It is understood
that the Consoli ed Grocery Com
pany, of Jacksonville, Tampa and
Pensacola, is in favor of the bill to
prohibit the sale of self-rising flour
in Florida. A safe wager would also
be that the various baking powder
people would enjoy the passage of
such a law.
A member of the senate has bill
to require the clerk of the state beard
of pardons to keep a full and COM

members of the board playing poll
tics in such matters, if at any time
they should desire so to do.
Another bill will require the su-
preme court of Florida to give a
written opinion in all cases where the
plaintiff and defendant are repre-
scented by counsel, quoting the law in
each citation of error.
No man alive can predict what the
message of the governor this year
will contain, for no issue whatever
was developed in the recent cam
paign, but the chances are that the
garb bill, the convent inspection bill,
etc, will be introduced.
There is more than a little talk at
the capital Of the legislature meet
ing thirty-five or forty days and
then adiourning till this fall, when
the session can be finished out. In
this way the members would be able
to secure the sentiment of their con-
stituents on all pendirr masures, and
the state senate, by the tine it re-
convened, would have before It al
the appointments CT states attorneys
and circuit judges for confirmation
or rejection. Both branches of the
assembly could adjourn to a date
later n trs year by a majority vote
and under the law they have a per
feet right to do this.
