A dozen bills have been introduced in the General Assembly of the Stale relative to insurance, but one of the main things that needs to be done is to stop speetacled-faced and spider-legged dude from fixing the rates at at any point in the State at any time just to satisfy his capri eious will and to make his insurance trust employers believe that he is doing athiug to have an excuse for living. The insurance trust and the aforesaid arbitrary rate fixed should be given solar plexus blow by the General Assembly of the State.

The Reform School bill in the Sen ate was defeated by one vote, the bill carrying an appropriation which requires two-thirds vote, falling one vote short of the necessary. two thirds. But it does not follow that a reform school bill will not be passed at the present session. Two of the Senators who voted against the MeNemer bill did so not because they were not in sympathy with the object and purposes of the bill, but because they had objections to cer- tain features of the bill then under consideration. Arkansas needs a reform school and we believe the present Legislature will adopt one.

It seems hard that man should work and struggle 10 keep np life insurance policy for some $5,000 or more for the benefit of his widow and orphans after he is dead and gone, and then, in addition to the higk cost of the policy, pay an ali nual tax on the same Are not in- surance companies taxed 2 If so. why should the holder of policy be taxed, also ,? Then again, the value of an insurance policy cannot be realized on until it natures, or the death of the policy holder, at which time the moEey becomes taxable as all other moneys are taxed. It seems to the Graphic that the Col lins bill is double taxation and op- pressive; and that the passage of the bill will retard in tbe future that benifcient and philanthropic protection for the widows and or phans, which should be provided for them.

Fine Bluffs Opportunity

sAA0 .%AsAhs V SPEOA
 For several years the people of this city and section have wanted a railroad from Pine Bluff to Malvern or Benton. Several surveys have been made but nothing further has been done.
 We believe that Pine Bluff and tue country through which iti proposed to build the road now have a fair opportunity to build it. Our plan, we believe, i, very feasible and prac ticable. In brief it is as follows:
 Let several of onf leading citizens organize lailroad company, go be. fore the Legislature at it's present session and secure a charter, and also secure special act donating to the company all the forfeited lands, etc, in the territory through which the road is to be built, as was done by the last Legislature in the enactment ef the Smith Bi! aud tbe donation Of certain lands to the Hamburg & Mississippi River Rail. road, recently completed.
 The people along the proposed line of the Pine Bluff and Malvern or Benton railway would, no doubt, only be too glad and ready to donate the right of way.
 Only small sum of money would be necessary to start the enter prise-$25, ,000 or $3A,000. After two miles were built, the roadbed and the donated lands could be bonded, mile by mile, for enough money to push the road to com pletion,
 The distance is only about 42 miles and through comparatively level country. The cost for building per mile would therefore be at the minimum. And, should the road be built to Benton, where it would con- meet with the Lott road recently purchased by Col. Fordyce, the cost of building a bridge across Saline river would even be saved, making the road less expensive than any that has been previously planned.
 Everybody is anxious for the road, ard the enterprise would receive en- couragement from every quarter. The road is a necessity to Pine Bluff and would greatly develop thls city and the country through which it would pass. The Graphic believes that the plan above outlined is pre- eminently practicable and feasible, and that now is Pine Bluffs oppor- tunity for getting the road. Let our enterprising business men get together and try it.
