agent and ; consideration of the Increased fare

to I bill in the house and the probable

passage of the state-wide prohibition bill in the senate, makes this week one of the most important in the history of the l'jl.1 legislature.

Tuesday afternon at U o'clock tht; i

t-traight bill, providing for the submission of state-wide prohibition, was considered in committee of the whole, and if it is n creed to, it will bo placed on third reading Wednesday or Thursday. Sen. Straight is eontident that he can muster at least 5u votes in support of his bill in the senate. Since the recent local option elections there has been a decided change in sentiment in the house, where supporters of the Straight bill are now counting on at least 70 votes. Supporters of the graduated fare bill arc counting on 55 votes in tho house, but it is generally conceded that tho margin is very close and tho opponents of the measure believe that it will fail to receive the required majority. Roth the house and senate will convene at S:::o o'clock and as there is considerable work ahead this week, morning sessions will probably be held.
