Governor Calls Sugar
 Strike in State

ile Little Rock, May Ex-Governor Me a. Rae has called upon, the people of Ar nS ~ kansas to exercise economy and re- is trenchment in the purchase and use of
 sugar for whatever period may seem O. necessary to bring results ill the way A. of reduction in the price of this staple" ell This is in answer to a campaign start
 ed by an Eastern paper, to rebuke the jed speculators and profiteers, who are ter taking advantage of the failure of ere Congress to place sugar upon the free 5ed list. Tt should be understood" says Wo the Governor, that there is no short st. age of sugar at the sources and that
 the present prices are due to unnatur- He al causes, through efforts to corner ok. the supply by spectators and I want
 to warn housewives and others against
 becoming alarmed over the situation; am We should not rush to the conclusion me that we should buy a large supply of ln- sugar in order to meet a shortage in the the future, for there is no shortage; at there is already prospect that prices the are coming down, believed to be the lad result of the strike of American con- rs. sumers"

SPECIAL SESSION STILL
 UNDECIDED BY MIR,
Farmers Union Making System; Fight Against Call-G0yernOr
 Has Open Mind.

Little Rock, May Ex-Governor Rae still has an open mind on the ject of an extra session of the legi ture.
 While he is not prepared to II an authoritative statement at this he does say that he will not call extra session unless he has some sonable assurance that the law II CTS will provide relief for the diff ties which confront several of the partments of State government.
 He is not disposed to act hurrie and will not take up the question finitely until late in June or early July as he does not wish to intert with the farming pursuits of a la number Of the members.
 He is also awaiting action of courts in the litigation involving agricultural department appropriat bill and a final decision of Secret of Agriculture Wallace with refere to the question of Federal aid. Sho the courts uphold the validity of Agricultural appropriation bill and Federal government refuse to ext aid to highways, two of the princi reasons for the converting of the le; lature in extra session would be eli mated.
 There are other reasons develop from time to time for the extra sess but the urgency of these matters we have to be determined by the Go nor.
 The governor continues to re, numerous protests against an session, chiefly originating witt various locals of the Farmers I throughout the state, which seer have adopted a systematic cam against it.
 The statement has been made should both Departments fail to S adequate relief through the acti the recent legislature, arrangeI would be made to finance bot Highway Department and the Agrll tural Department so that they G. continue to function. Commission Ferguson is especially emphatic this subject, declaring that whatev the courts or the legislature may ( eide, his department will continue serve the people.
