PROCEEDINGS OF
LA. LEGISLATURE
Program Laid Down By New
Constitution Is Carried
Out.

Baton Rouge, lathe extraordi-
nary session Of the Louisiana leglsla-
ture adjourned sine die at l o'clock
Saturday morning November 19, con-
suming the seventy-five days fixed in
the call issued by the constitution.
The closing scenes were along the
usual lines. When the lawmakers fin
ished their serious business, the two
houses faced long period. The two
bodies had to wait on the enrolment
room in the enrolling of bills and on
the governor signing of measures. TO
put in the time members OF the house
INDUCED in fun making. Speaker Wal
ker surrendered the chair to Represen-
tatives Parent, Pitcher, Prophit and
others and the members romped and
pulled off burlesque stunts on each
other.
After closing their calendars Of Fri
DAYS business both houses adjourned
until 1905 a. m. Saturday for the
purpose of making legislative day.
This was done to comply with consti-
tutional requirements. The organic
law requires appropriation bills to be
in the hands Of the governor five days
before final adjournment, and it was
to protect these money measures
against the possibility of attack that
Saturday session was held.
Lieutenant Governor Bouanchaud,
acting governor in the absence OF Gov
ernor Parker who is attending the
arms conference in Washington, re-
manned in the executive offices until
the close OF the session for the pur-
pose of signing bills as fast as they
were enrolled and presented to him
for his signature.
Secretary of State James j Bailey
| also kept his office open, and number
ed the acts of the legislature after
they had been approved by the gov
ernor.
When the session closed, 11S acts of
the legislature had been given their
proper numbers by the secretary.
Eight bills remained in the governors
office for further consideration. These
made total Of 126 laws enacted dur
ing the extraordinary session.
The most important work of the ex-
ira session was the passage of bills
carrying into effect the "pay-as-you-
60" road.building program laid down
in the new constitution. Six bills deal
| ing with this subject were passed,
these being:
/. The creating of a state highway
commission. composed of three men.
appointive by the governor from the
state at large, with overlapping terms.
2. Levying of license taxes on motor
vehicles, with a minimum of SIS and
graduated upward. based on horse
power and carrying capacity.
Imposition of a tax on gasoline
and motor fuels
4. Authorizing the highway depart
ment to accept federal aid in road con-
struction.
s. Designating the secretary of state
as collector of motor vehicle license
taxes
g. Authorizing the formation of road
| districts and sub-road districts.
! Next to road legislation. from a con-
structive standpoint, was the enact
ment of comprehensive drainage
and land reclamation law. The drain
age statutes of the state had been
changed and amended so often that
they had got into chaotic condition.
The Dymond bill, passed at this ses-
sion. in effect codifies all of the drain
age and reclamation laws and is in

TERRITORY SHOULD CONTROL
 FISHERIES

The interest Secretary Hoover is taking in the fisheries of Alaska inspires the hope that we may expect to see something done in the near future that will count for the preserva tion and scientific regulation of the fisheries of Alaska Mr. Hoover is a man of large grasp who acts decsively when he determines that action is needed
 With Mir. Hoover interested in the matter there should be developments following the conference that will convene at Washington It is fortunate that the Alaska Territorial Fish Commission will be represented at that conference. Mr. Garfield, who will speak for the people of Alaska at Washington, has made a thorough study of the salmon fisher les of Alaska, and it well equipped to represent the territory at any fisheries conference
 That the control and regulation of the fish cries of Alaska should be transferred to the people of the territory cannot be successfully questioned. It is the leading industry of the north Upon its prepetuity and prosperity depends the continued growth and prosperity of those who live here Their interest in the the control and regulation of the fisheries of this region is of a far different character than that of those who live in the east. To tho-" who live elsewhere the welfare of Alaska i~ more or less a benevolent theory To those who live here it is very vital matter.
 The preparation of laws and regulations for the control of the fisheries is a matter tldt will require constant attention. The laws wife have to be changed from time to time to meet the requirements as they arise. There nu~t be experimenting, and there must be h"GuI the experiments a legislative body that eau Ir spond quickly. Tn" pcopI" of the tcrIiI"rN who are vitaIIy interested in having the h"-t thing done are far more capable of meeting this situation than iS congress- and a commits sion in Alaska, responsible to the pcop" of Alaska, is far better prepared to meet th" necessities than is a bureau in Washington that is responsible only to very busy cabinet otfical.-,Jmeau Empire.

THUNDER WARNS HER NOT TO WED HIM, so
 DECLARES THE GIRL

(By International News Scrvice)
 CLARKSBURG, w Va. Oct. 22.- A young Harrison county couple rushed into the county clerks office at the courthouse here recently just in time to escape the first big drops of a thunder shower which came up sud, dently.
 We want a marriage license" ex- plained the young man, while the blushing bride hung back a bit abashed, although the sparkle in her eyes and the smile on her lips spoke her acquiescence. Just then a terrific thunderclap occurred, startling every one. And that settled the case for the would-be bridegroom. As soon as everyone had recovered from the shock of the sudden bolt the fair young lady changed her mind. No. in- deed. she wasn't superstitious; but when a terrible clap of thunder comoe out of the heavens just as young man is about to get a marriage license it must mean something. The young woman wouldn't get married 10 any body under such circumstances, SD G!- ter the twain talked it over for s,m" time the prospective bridegroom using all his powers of persuasion, they left the place without getting the license
