' " '' To tlie Honorable, the General As sembly of North Carolina. Gentlemen: Under no circum stances is it a pleasant duty to con vene the general assembly in extra session; still the constitution, article '0, section 9, provides that "The gov ernor shail have power on extraordi nary occasions, by and with the ad vice of the council of state, : to con vene the general assembly in extra session by his proclamation, stating therein the purpose or- purposes for which they are thus convened." : To me it seems plain that such an extraordinary occasion has arisen, and so, by and with the consent of the council of slate, I have felt it my duty to call you together to con sider the question of an adjustment of tile passenger'-. aIld fieifiht rates chnrpcod by the various railroads do ing business a- common carriers in the state.

In .Ay" message to your honorable body '"at your regular session I used this language: "I would urge upon the general assembly to carefully ex amine the whole matter of railroads, and,' while doing everything the law allows in protecting the people against unjust discriminations, heavy rates and unnecessary hard ships, at the same time to treat the railroads with perfect fairness and give them every icgai rigm win .n belongs to tnem. itanroaus ie great arteries of commerce, and have been the means of building up our resources as no other factor, and, therefore, should be looked upon, not as roatlle, but as one of the slate's most helpful agencies." I then recommended a flat rate of 2 cents per mile for passenger fare and a mileage book of 2 cents: also, that railroads' be! required to remedy de lays of their trains, have a limit set to hours of service of their employ ees, keep their road-beds In good con ditlon'and pay their pair proportion of all taxes, and then should be pro tected against Injustice, such as Is often practiced on them by trespass ers and unjust litigation.

''. There-was-a' breezy quarter of an hour characterizing the first day's session of the state senate today short ly after noon, near the close of the session, referred to In the. regular course' further on in these proceed ings. Senator Graham's motion to refer themessage of the governor, embody- Inn tlie terms of the railway rate inpromlse between him and the rail road people entering into the agrree ment, committed the committee to the creation of a bill which would embody the. terms recommended, although the senator from Orange plainly stated that his views 'were not in accord therewith'-. and. that' he still held views practically the same as were embod ied in his two and a half cent bill passed on by the senate last winter. Senator Reid of Rockingham, ob- . jected to apparently confining the com mittee to reporting to the senate a bill which would be In accord With the re commendations of the message. He and Senator McLean of Robeson, were very pronounced in their opposition to such a plan. Senator McLean very significantly stated that he had not made up his mind yet whether he would vote for the recommendations or oppose them. That if all the gov-, eniors In the United States and all the railroads In this country should enter into an agreement that did not 'meet with his approval, he would not vote for it. Senator Buxton enlivened the brief debate with a statement to the effect that If the legislature could not en dorse the compromise plan, its work was ended, and it should adjourn and go home. Of course Mr. Buxton recognized the right and authority of the general assembly to originate a measure of its own, and pass it, if it should elect to do so. . Senator Holt poured the oil of a pa cific effort on the little rucus that was buzzing all around the senate cham ber, and then the cloud disappeared behind- Senator Graham's acceptance of Senator lleld's amendment to his motion. Today's Senate Proceedings in ' Detail. There will be few more eloquent sentences uttered in the slate senate during the extraordinary session which begun today, than some of those which punctuated and emphasized the able and pious Invocation with which it was opened this morning by the chaplain of the day.

After the opening prayer by Dr. Ivey Clerk Maxwell called the roll, which revealed the fact that forty seven of the senators were present and In their seats, only three being absent. The absentees were Senators Dickey, Udell and Polk. This is a fine. showing, better In fact than was made a year ago at the open ing of the regular session of the pres ent senate.
