UNCLE SAM TO PROTECT MIGRATING BIRDS. KFloridn a8 well as in other parts of the country are very mueh elated over the pass: of the Weeks-MceLean bill by Congress. This nev: law will protect the migratory birds in all of the States. In the past the “‘pothunt have been slaughtering the birds in all parts o1 the country. many species have been almost wipe: out, To stop this slaughter many so- cieties have heen organized in all of Hunters in G0V TRAMELL 0 RECONHEND TAVORS RIGHT TO VOTE AWAY FROM HOME. - { Believes State Institutions Should Be Investigated Before Session Convenes. 10, Tallahassee, Fla., March Governor Park Trammell, in pursu- ance of his announced intention to give out from time to time for the information of the public and of members of the Legislature certain of the recommendations which he will submit to the Legislature when it meets here in April, today gave out the following rvecommendations which he will make: Traveling Men and Railroad Em- ployes’ Right to Vote When Absent from Home. “Many traveling men and also a consideriable number of railroad em- poyes, and others, who are qualified voters of this State, are often de- prived of the privilege of voting on account of their absence from the county in which they hte registered™ upon the date of the primary or elec- tion, such abscuce being due to the fact that their employment requires them to be away from home a great deal of the time. That they may be allowed to vote when absent from their home county, | recommend the | enactment of a law providing that a traveling man or railroad employe, or other voter who is required to be absent from his home, upon persent- ing his registration certificate, his poll tax receipts, and satisfying the. election officers as to his identity, and that he has not voted in his LEGISLATION home county or any other county or precinet and will not be able to do 80, shall be allowed to vote for Na- tional and State officers at the place where he may be; and, that his vote shall be restricted to such officers, the law should provide that he shall The result is that | e furnished with only that portion d|of the ticket covering national and State officers.

For several vears these bills were pigeonholed |h.\ the committee to which they were erred. This month the commit- tee reported the bill and it was passed the day betore Taft went out of office. The Weeks-MeLean bill delegates to the department of agriculture power to rezilate the killing of all migratory Is. This will bring timely protection to many s s of wild fowl and shore birds that would otherwise join the species al- ready extinet, and will also make it possible to cut down the annual loss of $800.000, 000, which is sulfered by asricultural interests on account of t pests, by giving the “ting birds a chance to increase. ‘J;u-ks«m\'illl- Metropolis. soon insect MEXICAN STATE TROOPS WON (By Associated Press.)

This plan for having these institu- tions inspected by committees from the Legislature takes a considerable number of the members away from the daily sessions; and also, on ac- count of the desire of the members of the committees to return to the regular legislative work, gives but limited time for making the inspec- tions, “It is*my opinion that some plan {should be devised whereby these | committees could be designated prior tc the convening of the Legislature, so that they may make their visits and inspections prior to the session and be ready to submit their reports when the Legislature meets.” “City franchises are often very valuable, and for the protection of the interests of the towns and cities, I would suggest the passage of a law requiring that when an application for a franchise is presented to a eity or town council, the said council, it it is desired 1o consider the applica- tion, shall zive public notice through the press of the application for at least three weeks before acting upon it, order that others may also make application, and that the citi- zens may be advised. The law should further provide for a referendum vote upon all grants of a franchise when requested certain num- bey of voters.™ “The privileges given to a cor- poration by the State are valuable to the incorporators, and give them rivhts and exemptions from Iliabil- ities that individuals do not enjoy.
