[MISSISSIPPI LEGISLATURE)
^mb —umm ______
Since the legislature convened near
" iy 500 bills have been introduced in
the two houses. Aside from the dup
licate measures, and bills bearing a
■ similarity to each other, which are
either unfavorably reported or re
j turned in the form of substitutes, it is
fortunate for the people of Mississippi
that a very small percentage of the
pending measures will be enacted in
to law. The legislature has been in
session four weeks, only a half dozen
measures have been signed by the
J governor, and not over a dozen will
be in readiness for his signature with
i in the next ten days. The promptness
with which the working committees
i have squelched the life out of a large
majority of the bills introduced Is a
j highly gratifying indication that the
I people of the State will not be op
J pressed with a burden of useless new
laws when the legislature adjourns.

After the introduction of quite a
number of private and local bills the
house, without the transaction of any
other business, adjourned for the day.
TWENTY-FIFTH DAY.
The committee on universities and
colleges has just completed its in
vestigation of the various institutions.
The report will be read to the house
at an early date. The one of most in
terest is that relating to the university
and some of the testimony as to the
Greek letter societies is said to be of
a sensational character.
The judiciary committee of the
house has finally decided to report the
same code bill formerly reported,
which provides for a commission to
report a code to the next legislature.
Constitutional Prohibition.
When the house met the constitu
tion committee reported concurrent
resolution No. 12, submitting an
amendment to the constitution pro
hibiting the sale of liquor in the State
with tlie recommendation that it do
pass as amended, the amendment
changing the time of submission from
a special election in August to the
general election in November,
Mr. Brown, of Adams, moved that
the resolution be referred to the liquor
traffic committee to pass on the sub
ject matter.
Mr. Ross moved that the Brown
motion be tabied and the roll was
called on this motion, which resulted
In tabling by 53 ayes to 39 nays, the
house refusing to send the amend
ment to the liquor traffic association.
A minority report from the consti
tution committee was presented to
the house and Bigned by Mr. Watts,
of Lauderdale, and T. E. Williams,
in which they took the position that
the proposed amendment to the con
stitution was unnecessary, and for
that reason they could not concur in
the recommendation of the majority
of the committee.

TWENTY-SIXTH DAY.
By the narrow majority of two votes
the lower house of the legislature last
week passed the bill allowing boards
of supervisors to make partial pay
ments on contracts for public build
ings as the work progresses,
This measure was indefinitely post
poned In the house a few days since,
and the motion entered to reconsider
was called up by Mr. Steanis. of Lau
derdale. The debate was quite spirit
ed, Messrs. Watts and Stennis, of Lau
derdale, and McGee and Hinds leading
the forces in favor of the bill. Their
chief contention was that the present
law practicaily prohibits small con
tractors, who are not plentifully sup
plied with fuads, from bidding on pub
lic buildings. The vote by which the
bill was reconsidered was the closest
that has been taken since the legisla
ture convened.
The house committee made a favor
able report on the bill providing for
a new codification of the laws of the
State.
In the senate the bill prohibiting
non-members from wearing the em
blems of secret societies was passed
by a practically unanimous vote. An
other interesting bill passed was to
prevent frauds in awards of contracts,
by boards of supervisors by providing
that such contracts must be examined
and passed upon by the circuit judges
of the districts.
The uniform school book bill, which
was the special order in the senate,
was postponed until Thursday. The
house made the amendment for con
stitutional prohibition a special order
for next Tuesday morning, at which
time the first of three votes will be
taken.
There was the usual number of lo
cal bills introduced in both branches
of the legislature, but no further ac
tion of general interest transpired in
either the house or senate before ad

TWENTY-SEVENTH DAY.
The feature of the legislative sessiol
today was the consideration of the
Sample amendments to the primary
election law, which were the special
order for the day. Fairly good head
way was made on the bill during the
morning, and the measure was left
pending when the house adjourned for
dinner.
At the opening of the session con
sideration was resumed on the bill fix
ing penalty on railroad companies for
failure to deliver freights. The meas
ure is quite drastic in its provisions,
and was passed in at amended form.
It is held by its opponents, however,
that it will not stand a test in the
courts.
Another somewhat remarkable bill
passed was in the senate, being a bill
to confer on illegitimates and mothers
of illegitimates the same rights as le
gitimates to recover damages for death
or injury. Th'ere was practically no
opposition to the bill, the vote being
28 to 5.
Outside of the introduction of the
usual deluge of duplicate and local
bills, nothing further of a general na
ture transpired in the deliberations of
either house before adjournment for
the day was taken.

TWENTY-EIGHTH DAY.
The legislative feature today was
the consideration of the bill in the
senate providing for a uaiform system
of school books, which was left pend
ing when the body adjourned for din
ner.
The working committee of the sen
ate accomplished some good work. Fa
vorable reports were made on the bills
for better working of public roads, in
creasing Supreme Court to five mem
bers and making terms ten years each,
the house bill chaaging office hours
of State officials so as to cut out the
noon dinner hour, and the measure
fixing the maximum legal rate of in
terest at 8 per cent instead of 10 per
cent. Unfavorable reports were made
on the bill regarding the management
of the penitentiary.
The house judiciary committe fa
vorably reported on the bill increasing
salaries of judges, as amended. Mr.
Estes introduced a bill providing for
a geological survey of the State. The
house wrangled for some time on the
bill to reimburse Greenville citizens
for funds expended ia preparing for a
military encampment which failed to
be held at that place, and the meas
ure was finally defeated. The house
passed the bill allowing the governor
a special contingent fund of $2,500
per annum to suppress whitecapping
and other forms of lawlessness.
Nothing further of general interest
happened in either branch of the leg
islature.
TWENTY-NINTH DAY.
By the very close vote of 48 to 46,
and after 3 most spirited debate, the
house today passed the bill pro
viding the death penalty for the crime
of attempting to commit criminal as
sault, if the Jury, in its discretion,
should see fit to impose such a pen
alty. The present maximum penalty
for this crime is ten years in the
penitentiary. The lynching question
was dragged into the debate, and thus
prolonged the consideration of the
bill.
The senate was engaged for a great
er portion of the morning in a dis
cussion of the bill seeking to exempt
money from taxation loaned at a rate
not exceeding 6 per cent. The meas
ure was left pending when the sen
ate adjourned for dinner, with fair
prospects, of its indefinite postpone
ment.
The house appropriated $200,000
per year for the support of the peni
tentiary, and an additional $17,000 to
defray the expenses for January.
The Hightower roadworking bill
was made the special order for next
Wednesday. .This is one of the most
Important measures pending.
COMMENT AND CRITICISM.
Some Opinions About Legislation Past
Present and Prospective.
Mortality Statistics.
A bill has been Introduced in the
house to provide for a bureau of mor-1
tality statistics for the purpose ol j
keeping an accurate report of births '
and deaths. The bureau is to have a
head located at the capital, which j
may be the insurance commissioner
or some other department, aid physi
cians are to be required to report
deaths and causes of same, and re
port births, receiving a compensation
for such reports.

Slow in Committees.
There is every indication that the
present legislature will be long drawn
out. Much complaint is made aboul
the size of some of the larger and
more important committees and the
difficulty of getting meetings. Wheth
er this be the trouble or not, the fact
remains that it is very difficult to get
reports. The appropriation commit
tees seem to be way behind, especial
ly in the senate. The house bill mak
ing the appropriation for the common
schools, which was passed during the
early part of the session in the house,
is still in the hands of the senate com
mittee and has not bees reported.
There is understood to be some oppo
sition in the senate to the increase
in the appropriation. If the senate
amends the bill by cutting the appro
priation down, as is said to be very
probable, it will have to go back to the
house add may have to go to a con
ference committee. This will delay
the distribution of the school fuad
some days yet.

Prohibitionists Scared.
The prohibitionists have sent out
an appeal to the legislators who arc
friendly to the cause of constitutional
prohibition to remain at the capital
continually for the next few days in
order to assure the successful passage
of the constitutional amendment.
It appears that fhe prohibitionists
were rather surprised at the smail
showing made bj them In the first
skirmish last week, and they are now
making an energetic effort to rally
their forces and wage a fierce fight
for the cherished measure. They re
alize that it is a difficult matter to
command eighty-nine votes at a full
session of the house or to maintain
this ratio with ma:iy members ab
sent, and as the amendment is to be
voted upon three successive days, it
might meet a defeat on either of these
days by falling a few votes short of
the required two-thirds. The advo
cates of local option and the anti-pro
hibitionists have taken much courage
over the new phase of the situation.,,
May Have Plenty to Do.
Pleaty of work is being mapped out
for the Mississippi Agricultural and
Mechanical College to perform during
the next few years. Following close
ly on the heels of the proposed estab
lishment of a State department of ag
riculture at that institution, whose
chief work shall be to suppress the
boll weevil, comes a bill introduced
iu the senate by Mr. Boyd providing
for a geological and agricultural sur
vey of the State, to be made under
supervision of the director of the ex
perimeat station, and to be completed
by February, 1908. The bill is ably i
prepared, and sets forth at length the
manner in which the survey shall be
made and printed reports of the result
given to the public.
Prison System,
The proposed revision of the method
of governing the penitentiary finds its
first legislative manifestation in the
bill introduced by Mr. Denton, of Lau
derdale, which abolishes the prison
board of control and places the man
agement of the penitentiary in the
hands of an assistant, who is required
to give a $50,000 bond, is appointed
by the governor for a period of four
years, and is authorized to employ
such assistants as may be necessary to
conduct the affairs of the prison. The
superintendent is made responsible for
the finances of the prison, must make
payments direct to the State treas
ury, and is required to close his ac
counts on the first of January each
year and make official report.
Anti-Compact Law.
Insurance Commissioner Cole
appeared before the house com
mittee on insurance last week
for the purpose of discussing
the proposed law seeking to
amend the statute on trusts and
combines, known as the Noel anti-trust
law, seeking to exempt insurance com
panies from its operations, so as to en
able them to maintain rate-making or
ganizations In the State, The bone of
contention on this bill is the question
of whether it is violative of the con- j
stltutional provision against class leg- I
islatlon. The insurance commissioner
contends that it is not, as the meas
ure does not seek to confer special
benefits, but applies to insurance or
ganizations as a whole.
State Depositories.
The much expected State depository
bill has been introduced in the lower
house of the legislature by Mr. Bul
lard, and is now in the hands of the
judiciary committee. The measure is
modeled somewhat after the sugges
tions made by ex-State Treasurer Thad
B. Lampton, although not the identical
bill prepared by that official before re
tiring from office. It creates a finance
board composed of the governor, at
torney general and treasurer, and re
quires these officials to send out a cir
cular to all State banks having capi
tal stock of $30,000 or over, inviting
bids for deposits. The banks accepted
as depositories must give bonds of
known solvency as collateral when
receiving State treasury funds, and
the treasurer keeps a separate ac
count with these institutions. Heavy
penalties are provided for the viola
tion of any of the regulations adopted
governing deposits. It is also provid
ed that the tax collectors of the coun
ties make their settlements direct with
designated depositories.
Action Comet Slow.
It is significant that very few of the
bills thus far passed are of much im
portance. Barring the school appro
prlatioa, pension appropriation and
Jim Crow street car bills enacted by
the house, none of the measures thus
far passed in either body are wide
spread in their effect, or notable in
Importance. The senate bills estab
lishing three new experiment stations
in various parts of the State are still
tied up in the house committee on
agriculture, and it Is understood thal
favorable reports are to be made upon
but two of the measures. However,
in spite of the lack of important leg
islation, the two houses are doing s
good work in clearing the calendars
of minor matters. Local and privats
legislation is much further advanced
than usual at this period of a session
and the number of bills lndeftnitel)
postponed is much larger tbaa hereto
