Finish of the Fifth Special Session

1t is ancient history now-the finish Of the fifth
special session Of the 4lst legislature. Up in the air
is the prison reform location project with the rat
holes left open for the dollars Of the tax payers.
1t is for the governor to put the finishing touches for
the prison enactment and the appropriation for pris-
on purposes which we're sent to him by the lawmakers.
It is for him to pass upon the appropriation bill and
to use his pencil very freely where there isn't suffici-
ent revenue in sight to square the account.
He had the last word. and he sent it as well as said
It all In his message to the lawmakers.
There may be an emergency session Of the legisla-
ture late in the fall. or the reform legislation which
the people demand may be handed on to the And
legislature to be elected in November. 1t is for the
people, in their sovereign capacity as voters, to name
senators and representatives who will adopt and put
over q constructive program in the winter months Of
1891. They are the masters when they are not asleep
at the switch. They have been sleeping at the switch
for a long time. They may come out Of the trance

COMING Tariff on Foreign
Crude

In the closing hours OF tariff making Sen. w B.
Pine of Oklahoma made the third and last attempt
for a tariff on foreign crude. His amendment was
defeated by a vote Of 80 to 2s. 1t provided for a duty
of 40 cents a barrel on foreign crude oil and 20 per
cent ad vslorem on gasoline and other products.
Thus 1t was that the friends Of the amendment who
are the friends OF the independent oil producers came
within four votes Of taking foreign crude from the
free list. This is a prediction: In the near future
say two years from now. foreign crude will be taken
from the free list.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ROMNEY, w. Va, February 5-Wal-
ter Crabtree was found guilty by jury

HOOVER TO CONFER
ON RETIREMENT ACT.
LehIbaCh Has Appointment
to Discuss Measure With
President Tomorrow.

Chairman Lehlbach of the House
civil service committee is going to see
President Hoover by appointment at the
White House tomorrow to discuss legis-
lation to liberalize the civil service re-
tirement act.
Chairman Lehlbach declared today
that while the drive has been made to
get the Dale bill, which has already
passed the Senate, passed as is in the
House, without any changes, he believes
emphatically that the entire subject
should be carefully gone over in COM
mittee and new bill drafted which
would take care of the various proposals
made to enact retirement legislation that
VIII be as nearly perfect as possible.
Provide for Injustices.
Because the Dale-Lehlbach bill repre-
SentS the minimum that the repre-
.sentRtiveS of the civil service employees
are asking for and has repeatedly been
approved in the House or Senate, those
directing the campaign concentrated
during the present session in having
that bill passed without change with
tions for relief and to wipe out COM
parative injustices might be taken care
of in subsequent legislation
During the one-day hearing before
the House civil service committee,
Chairman Lehlbach suggested that as
he saw it the committee might see 1T
to favorably report the Dale bill with
out change and then work into a sep
arate bill the various amendments Sug-
gested and in this way the prospects of
getting the minimum legislative relief
through the Dale bill would not be
endangered.
No Need to Become Panicky.
Today Chairman Lehlbach declared
that there is no need for friends of the
Government employees to become pan
icky on the subject
There is no opposition In any quar-
ter that know of to giving the Federal
workers the needed retirement relief"
he said.
This legislation should be treated as
other important measures. All sugges-
tons for amendments should be care
fully considered. We should get out the
best retirement measure possible in the
light OF all information that is now
available. There is no sense in our put
ting through measure that we know
is imperfect with the promise of later
correcting injustices and inequalities.
AS see it, it is our duty to work out
now the most perfect measure that we
can in one finished job. We have plenty
OF time, and know of no objection co
the enactment of proper retirement
measure"
