 LEGISLATURE DOINGS.
Regular Weekly Letter From Our Special Correspondent.

A legislator who acts from an honest motive should receive all due credit for his acts, whether, his conclusions are right or wrong; but it is to be deplored that there are so many members, of the lower house at least, who lack good business judgment. Two measures that would have been of incalculable benefit to the state have been killed this week -the Ganaway bill to exempt new manufacturing enterprises from taxation for a period of five years, and the re solution looking to the purchase of a convict farm.
 The state pays on an average S35000 per year for the rent of agricultural lands. A farm could be bought and equipped for S20O,- 900. In other words, six years saving in rents would pay for the farm.
 The Humphreys bill providing for the abrogation of the contracts made with the Arkansas Brick Manufacturing Company, and others, went through the house last Thursday like a deer in a walk. It is a repudiation meas ure, pure and simple. These contracts were made by the peni- tentiary board last year, and bear the signature of our present gov ernor, who gave his approval to the propositions. They were madein good faith by the state and the brick company; and in order to prepare for work under them the company has expended S125, ,000 in preliminary work, which means dead loss if the senate consents to allow the state to plead the baby act. If two in- dividuals make a contract, and there is no fraud shown, the courts will hold either or both parties to 8 strict compliance with their contract. For an individual to break a solemn contract is, in the business world, considered dis honorable and the man so doing becomes 8 business outcast. The states honor is at stake in this bill, and the sober business sense of the senate will probably defeat it. No one doubts the sterling integrity of Speaker Humphreys. He would not break a contract made between himself and anoth- CT under any circumstances. His sense of honor would preclude such an idea; and his knowledge of the 'sacredness of contracts" under the law would prevent his attempting, such a thing.
 The bill, however, provides for the abrogation of all state convict contracts except one. That one is 8 contract for convict labor in the construction of railroad into the town of Fayetteville. And Fayetteville is the speakers home city.
 As a matterrof fact, the con- tract with the Arkansas Brick Manufacturing Company is the -----.----------
The Green Forest tribune., 1901-04-13

most advantageous one that has ever been made by the state. It provides that the state shall re- ceive soc per day for each work ing day for each convict. Here tofore the contracts have always given the contractor the benefit of rainy days, sickness, etc. As usual, the state pays the expense of maintenance and guarding pri- soners.
 The statehouse will probably receive some attention next week. The only question which will be seriously considered in opposition to it's construction will be, the fees of the architect, MT. George R. Mann. H fk H&s ss
 Mr. Mann is a gentleman of high standing in his profession, and has already, under his con- tract, constructed the founda tion walls of the new building, and at a cost of about one-half the usual cost by the yard. In this one par ticular he has saved his salary of five per cent of the cost of the building, to the state. We clip the following from the American Architects, a periodical devoted to the profession of architecture:
 Architects who have had much to do with statehouses will find interest, not to say signifi- canoe, in the report of the special committee appointed to consider the subject of the salary of the architect of the new capitol of Arkansas, at Little Rock. It may be observed that in 1899 MT. George R. Mann was appointed architect of the building, and it was agreed that his compensation should be such as is usual and customary in such cases. In ac- .cordiance with this agreement, Mr. Mann, who is, as we need hardly say, an honored member of the American Institute of Ar chitects, promised, under instruc- tions, to prepare working draw ings, details and specifications, in accordance with which the building is now being constructed under his supervision. About the 1st of ,Jandrary, 1900, the capitol commission, wishing to ascertain a little more accurately what the usual and customary compensa- tion of architects was, so that they could determine whether their accounts with Mr. Mann were in accordance with the con- tract, ordered inquiry to be made of several eminent architects in relation to the matter, and also procured copies of various con- tracts between architects and state authorities. These copie s of contracts and the replies of the eminent architects were placed on file, but do not seem to have been considered until last January, when, the work on the building being somewhat advanced, MT. Mann presented a bill on account, in accordance with the ordinary professional custom. A commit tee of three members of the com mission was thell appointed to take up the subject again and de- 1 termine definitely what was the

Chronicle News-James Lynch,
president of the American Savings
bank Of this city, and owner of
considerable valuable mining prop
erty in the Moreno mining district,
came in from his home at Eliza
bethtown last evening. Mr.. Lynch
states that a great deal of work is
going on in the district and that
the lode properties i'll which any
great depth has been reached are
showing up spIendidly. There are
four stamp mills on the east side
of Badly mountain and four ON the
west side. In addition to these
there are two mills and smelter
in the Red River district and one
mill in the La Belle section. Sew
eral OF these mills are working on
pay ore. Cleveland, Pittsburg,
Philadelphia, Chicago, Texas, Mis-
souri, and Denver companies are
operating over there, and the indi-
cations are that wonderfully rich
mines will be opened befJre the
summer is over. Placer mining
began two weeks ago and rich
clean ups will be made later on, il
there is sufficient water to carry OF
the work. AT present there il
plenty Of water and there is a great
deal of snow in the mountains
although the valleys are dry anC
the roads dusty.
