NEWS OF ARKANSAS.
Ruling on Road Tax Vote.

Attorney General Davis has giv- en out an opinion declaring that the road tax voted upon at the election of September Sd carried in all coan- ties in which it received a majority of the votes cast. The question to be determined is whether 1t requires majority of all the electors in a county to carry road tax or major ity of those voting. In his opinion the attorney general says: Where a statute requires a question to be decided, or an officer to be chosen, by the votes of majority of the voters of county, this does not re quire that majority of all persons in the county entitled to vote shall actually vote affirmatively, but only that the result shall be decided by a majority of the votes cast. The voters of the county referred to by all such statutes are necessarily the voters who vote at that election, since the result in each case must be determined by count of the ballots cast, and not by an inquiry as to the number not cast"
