Will Borrow Money.

Among the most important meas ures passed by the last legislature affected by the recent decision of the supreme court is the deaf mute appropriation bill, the branch nor nal appropriation bill and the St. Francis levee bond bill, authoriz- ing the issuance of $5O0,0O0 in bonds. There is no possibility of the deaf-mute institute being closed be- cause the appropriation fell under the decision of the supreme court. The method which will be pursued will be to borrow money from time to time, as it is necessary for the conduct of the institution and the payment of all bills incurred by it.

Arkansas State News
Will Not Ston Work.

The historical committee of the Confederate Veterans Association announce that the decision of the supreme court annulling the bill making an appropriation for its use will not put stop to the work. In the war department at Washington there are four thousand rosters and fragments of rosters of Arkansas Confederate military organizations, and until these are copied, or at least inspected, the work must come to complete stop for the reason that the historical committee would without doubt duplicate its work. The committee intends to collect the fragmentary records now exist ing in this state by letters to and interviews with the owners of them. Their time and money will be lim- ited and they do not care to collect at great expense of energy and money number of records, only to find that they are already on file in the archives of the war department, The desire of the historical commit tee now is to have the governor des- ignatc officially some one to inspect and, if necessary, copy these records, so that the work can proceed. As soon as the records are inspected the work of collecting those which are missing will be taken up.

Those Vetoed Bills.

The supreme court, in the case or T. c. Monroe, auditor, vs. B. w. Green ct al., test case of the famous omnibus veto of Gov. Da- wis, oyerruled the decision of the lower court and sustained the veto. This was case instituted by B. w. Green, Dan w. Jones, H. s. Nowlin and others to compel the auditor of state to pay a warrant drawn on an appro- priation carried by house bill No. All, to provide for a roster of Con- federates soldiers and sailors of the state. This bill was passed by the last general assembly, but was not presented to the governor until after the assembly had adjourned. House bill No. All was included, with number of others, which has been called the omnibus veto" of the governor. This suit was in- stituted for the purpose of testing the validity of the law, notwith- standing the veto of the governor, which it was thought was not made in the manner prescribed in the constitution. At the hearing of the cause the auditor demurred to the complaint filed, admitting all ale gations contained therein, and in- sisted that there was no ground for compelling the payment of the war rant. Judge Winfield overruled the demurrer and rendered judgment against the auditor and instructed him to honor the warrant drawn. An appeal was tafken to the su- preme court and that court held that while the bill was duly and le- gally passed by both the house of representative and the senate. vet there was no proper and legal pre- sentation of the bill to the gover, nor.
 The court ruled that inasmuch as the bill was not presented to the governor within the time prescribed by the constitution, it could no! become a law, even though the gov ernor had not exercised the veto power. All other bills, about eighty in number, presented at the time the above bill was placed in the hand. of the governor, are null and void in accordance with the above rul- ing.

As to Taxing Leans.

SIdhNC1lO1 Os N dt Ozark recently handed down an im- portant decision involving loans made by foreign corporations in Arkansas. The action was brought by the Union Central Life Insur- ance Company of Cincinnati against James Pitcock, as collector of Craw- ford county, to restrain the collec- tlon of tax alleged to be illegal. In passing upon the case Chancel- Tor Bourland said: "The question upon which the law must be de- clared is whether the loans of for eign corporation having no domi- clle or chief office or agency in this state, are subject to assessment and return for taxes in the county where the borrower resides or where the real estate mortgage security is located Plaintiff is a corporation under the laws of the state of Ohio. Its principal business is that of life insurance, but it also carries on the business of making loans of money upon notes and mortgages upon lands in Arkansas. For the latter purpose it has no agency in this state. If certain sections of our statute would seem to indicate that this particular species of property is intended to be taxed, it is proper to reply that the whole scope of the statute must be considered. It is not competent to view one or more parts of law abstractly, but the prospective ought invariably to be such as the full line of part mate- rial may always be within the scope of vision. Thus viewing the stat ute and considering policy, the na- ture of the various classes of per- sonality and the powers of the state considered in respect of the powers of other independent sovereigns it is clear to my mind that the terms of our statute exclude the particular class of property involved in this ac- tion from taxation in this state. While it IS not necessary to so hold, it is true, nevertheless, that did our statute by its express terms, re- quire the taxation of each property it were more serious question than whether it would not be extra terri torial and void. The probability is that these notes and mortgages are taxed where located, in Ohio, which that state in principle has a clear right to do, and to tax the rights here would be in effect double taxa tion, an evil which our form of gov ernment more than all others, ab- hors."

He assured the grand lodge in expressing condemnation of the amount of lawlessness sweeping over the country, north and south, that the negro has many true and warm friends among the white people throughout the state, and urged friendly relations between the races.
