Special Session OF The Legislature
Governor Buck has issued pro
clamation convening the Legisla-
ture in special session on Wednes-
day, October Is.
The Governor has set forth in his
proclamation why it is necessary at
this time to call the Legislature to-
gether.
The laws necessary to enable the
State to receive benefits from the
NRA program, should be passed and
no more.
There is always some who look
upon the assembling of the Legisla-
ture for any purpose to be good
time to prepare bills to present,
which have for their aim a raid on
the State Treasury.
We are glad that we have a Gov
ernor who knows how to WELD the
veto axe and will do so when the
members of the Legislature try to
pass other laws than those which
are mentioned in the proclamation.
The well thinking people of the
State will back the Governor in his
efforts to save the taxpayers from
the heavy burden they are now
bearing.
Will the time ever come when
Legislature can be elected whose
sole aim will be to do only those
things which will be of use to the
people of the State and will steer
clear of those things whose aim is
for the depicting of the State treas
ury?
Will the time ever come when the
members elected to any Legislature
will legislate as patriots and not as
partisans?
We sincerely hope so.

ADVANCE IN Stock
MARKET RESUMES
Most Groups Show Upward
Tendency, With Activity
Gaining on Rise.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 23-The advance
in the stock market was resumed today.
Gains running from l to S points and
in the case of few specialties to an
even greater amount were registered
in trading which was increasingly ac-
tive on the advance.
New highs for 1888 were established
by such typical stocks as Allied Chem
ical and Union Pacific. Other notably
strong issues were Industrial Raycn
and National Distillers Products. "
Commodities went along with stocks.
July cotton in the late afternoon was
up s1.50 a bale. Wheat closed / = to
21a cents higher. Other grains mace
proportionate gains. -
1t was reported that plans WIRE
being formulated in Washington sho
stabilize the dollar in terms OF foreign
currencies. Today's fluctuations In the
exchanges were moderate, but in the
main against the dollar. "a
Stocks opened higher on an accurhu-
lation of overnight buying orders. Tnsy
continued to advance for two hours,
although not quite so rapidly. The m
centive seemed to be, first, the wayzan
which the market had rallied at the
close Monday after the early irrega-
larity, indicating no pressure to sen;
and, second, the unofficial statement
that the Federal Reserve had begun its
open-market operations according TO
the control imitation program. jp
The steel stocks figured prominently
in. the early trading United States
Steel preferred ran up over 3 points.
National Steel more than points and
the others in proportion. Motor stocks
were strong from the start. Aubufh,
which had been comparatively neglect
ed last week, was up points at nodn
today. General Motors at the same
time had come within a small fraction
of its old high. Du Pont pushed ahead
in sympathy with the strength In Cen
eral Motors.
The pivotal industrials, Allied Chem
ical, American Can, Westinghouse Elee-
trio, Eastman Kodak, were all actively
bought and in the case of Allied Chem
ical at new high prices. The strength
in the utilities was slower to develep,
but eventually they fell into line. West
ern Union American Telephone, Con-
solidated Gas and some of the Pacific
Coast stocks were among the features.
