Extraordinary Session of Mississippi Legislature October 1 CITY PREPARES TO TAKE CARE OF SCORES OF MEN Bilbo Completes Tour In Behalf of Tri-Fold Measure He Advocates With the extraordinary session of the Mississippi legislature but one week away, Jackson is bestirring to take steps for caring for the hundreds of visitors incident 'to a convening of the state's law-making body. Hotels and boarding houses are making ready for the rush when nearly 200 men. accompanied many times by wives or families, move to the city for the sessions of the body.

No accurate forecast of the lfmerth of- the session can be made at this time, though the best guess is that the solons win oe nere through the state fair at least. Governor Bilbo issued a formal call for the session over a week ago, and outlined three topics to be broueht tio at the coming meet ing. The vital topic, and the one of most importance of course, is tne revenue program, left unsettled by the past regular session of the legislature because of failure of the erovernor to aeree in the' plan nassed bv both the house and sen ate after a conference committee of the two bodies had worked out its details. The house later passed bill over the eovernor's veto but thf senate refused to override the executive disaDDroval. thus leaving the state without a metnocr 01 A raising tax monies, except the two- mill confederate pension levy.

The governor has indicated that his state-owned printing plant proposal, the bone of contention of the last session and a hard surfaced highway system, will be given to the legislature to discuss during the special term, and he has just closed an intensive speaking on which he urged the adoption of both these proposals as well as a modified sales tax which he urges to supersede the ad valorem system long the vogue in Mississippi. The executive's wishes are sure to meet loads of opposition from the start. A majority of the house and senate are opposed to the sales tax, a majority in the house frowns on the state, printing plant, while the same is true of the highway biU proposed at the regular session. A modified highway program would stand a fair chance of passage, political prophets claim. Since Mississippi has not entertained the United Confederate yet-reunion since its organization, the 'only state to fail in this host capacity, a proposal seeking the necessary appropriation to bring the 1930 reunion to this state wm very likely be heard before the extraordinary session.

ivrtmwrs nf the leeislature are to be honor guests of the City of Jackson at the dedication ceremonies of the new municipal stad- inm hpre Saturday. October 6, just preceding the annual Tulane-Mis-sissippl A. M. college football rome nnvernor Bilbo and Gov. Huey Long have been invited to be the principals at tne aecucauon rites.

SEVEN MEN ON F0RCE FOR PAST TEN YEARS Personnel of City's Peace Guardians is Listed, With Varied Duties Forty five policemen patrol the streets of Jackson to protect the city's Interests and to shield the public from the criminals, the thieves and the outlaws who are continually lurking in wait of opportunities to get their livelihood from Jackson citizens by unfair and underhand methods. Ten years ago twenty-five were on the Jackson police department pay roll. With the growth of the city so has there been men added year by year to the force in order that the public welfare might, be protected In the best possible manner. 1 The police organization during that period has been perfected to a great degree.

MINNESOTA IS NOW MAELSTROM Becomes Center of Much Political Activity Since Smith's Nomination ST, PAUL, Sept. 22 (AP) Minnesota, normally staunchly republican, has become a maelstrom of political uncertainty with regard to the presidential race. The state's 12 electoral votes are being contested a campaign of unprecedented intensity for this district. aDnarentlv with greater public interest than in any other campaign of this generation.

Democrats, -recognizing Minnesota as an important battleground, are giving it first-hand attention of the national committee, while the republicans are preparing an oratorical barrage to hold their ground. Governor Smith's visit to this state September 27 Is regarded by the democrats as their biggest gun. The republicans have planned a speech-making campaign to elp offset the effect of the Smith In-vation. Even Hoover may if it is felt he is needed. Republican leaders find theii principal cause for uneasiness in the "Smith talk" reported to them on every hand a situation without a parallel since the Wilson campaign of 1916, when Hughes, the republican nominee, carried the state by 392 votes.

Because of the political complexity of the campaign and election four years ago, when the democratic candidate hardly figured in the vote in this state, there difficulty in forecasting the likely trend of the vote. Senator La Follette, the Independent presidential candidate four years ago, poUed 339,192 votes as against 420,759 for Coolidge, who also had a majority, as Davis, ths democratic standard bearer, got only 55,913 and other candidates received 6,200 votes. Where this La FoUette vote came from and where it wUl go are two problems for the political forecasters to solve. In the larger cities, Duluth generally is conceded favorable tc Hoover, partly due to his endorsement of the proposed Great Lakes-St. Lawrence waterway project, which would make Duluth an ocean port.

in the twin cities of Minnaepolla and St. Paul there is not this posi tive alignment. St. Paul, with a "wet" congressman, is generally considered more, favorable tc Smith than Is Minneapolis. This element of doubt and the greater number of votes in Minne- anolis were the real reasons behind the desire to have Governor Smith talt in the mill city, rather than in St.

Paul. in 1924. Coolldse carried Ram sey county (St. Paul) 39.556 to La FoUette's 34.684. while the Henne pin county (Minneapolis) vote was Coolidce 101,120, La Follette 846.

In Ramsey, Davis got 8,407 votes and in Hennepin 10,806. Plans have been made by the republicans for an intensive speaking campaign, featuring such men as Theodore Roosevelt, Sen. William Borah and Charles Evans Hughes. ReD. Walter Newton of Minne apolis, managing the republican speakers' bureau in the west, alsc said there is "a possibility of Her bert Hoover coming to Minneap olis: If the national committee deems it advisable to send Hoover back to California via the northern route, he will speak in Minne polls." t- Temperature of barns will remain more uniform, stcck will be much healthier, and the frost nuisance will be practically eliminated by good ventilation.

A board of censorship of five persons is to be set up, but the minister of Justice will be the real censor, as he has the optional authority of enforcing censorship. If he concurs in any complaint maae by the board he will ban the sale and distribu tion of the newspapers or literature unaer discussion, or he may suppress literature on his own initiative. For importing, selling or distributing banned publications a fine not exceeding $250 or imprisonment un to six months will be imposed. The bill creating the censorship board also bans publication of any divorce action details calculated to injure public morals. The minister Of Justice in the end is the ludere nf what injures publica morals, as he nas tne option of enforcing the board's findings.

The penalty in this case is a fine of $2,500 or six months' imprisonment or both. The provisions of the British act restricting reporting of divorce ac tions are embodied In the bill. There has been a visorous aeita- tion in Ireland to restrict the cir culation of English Sunday papers, some of which are held to contain matter injurious to morality. The papers circulate in everv district of the country. More than two years ago the government, influenced by the agitation and the condemnation of papers by the bishops, set up a committee composed of two clergymen, one a Roman Catholic and one a Protestant, and three laymen, to inquire into the matter.

Eighteen months ago the committee reported and rpcnmmpn. dations for the checking of what was generally regarded as an abuse. The government has now introduc ed into the dail a bill which in the main louows the lines of the com-, mittee's recommendations. The bill aims at nrnhihit.lnc' nil publications advocating the use of contraceptives and all advertisements relating to social riisps Tf. Imitates the recent English legis lation proniMting detailed reports of divorce nroceedincs nnri Mpnr? the prohibition to the publication of any improper details In any kind of judicial proceedings.

Strong DOWers Of RparrTi nr trlvnn to the police for the discovery of pronioiiea puoiications. All publica tions wnicn "are indecent" a tn be prohibited, and the word "indecent" is construed as including "calculated to suggest or incite to immorality or in any other way to corrupt or deprave." The machinery of nrohibitlnn is novel. It is proposed to "recognize" certain associations or groups cf people. The recognized associations will report to the minister of Justice that certain papers and publications are in their opinion Indecent. The minister will refer these rennrfs to a censorship board of five members appointed by himself.

If four out of the five agree that. ti mmnioint Is justified the minister can by or- aer proniDic any publication. A register of prohibited publications will be kept, and the fart that th name of any paper appears on that register is to be conclusive proof against the keener publication, who becomes at once liable to a fine of $250 or six months imprisonment or both. There is no nrovision in th wii which compels the minister of justice to act on the decision of the board of censorshiD. and tha word rests with him..
