THE LEGISLATURE. ANAN~NNNNNU>NN>~NNN

The bill introduced by Jackson of Phillips at the behest of the saloon advocates of JonesbOro met the fate promised Gates bill in the house Thursday. The measure purporting to be sew craze enactment, gave the city of Jonesboro the right of local option regardless of the vote of Craighead county upon that is- sue and in case license was granted half such revenues were to go toward the establishment of a sewerage system for that city. The vote of the house was 5 to 32 and the chief reason for the defeat of the bill lay in the fact that both Jonesboro and >Sraighead county had gone dry" in the last election.

Governor Davis has asked the legislature to meet in joint ses- sion and endorse the compromise railroad assessment, but whether
 'that bunch of ducks, who were made the scapegoat of all his ex- cellency's shortcomings in the last campaign are willing to share the responsibility of this act and allow the governor to bolster himself at their expense in the eyes of the people is by no means assured. Upon every stump, from the prairies of the territor- ies to the father of waters, " from the fruit lands of the Ozarks to the Louisiana bord- CTS, "Jefie old boy'' ex- tolled himself as the head of the state board of assessment and claimed all the. credit for raising the taxes of the railroads. Now comes the governor, admits they were raised unreasonably high and is willing to drop $200,- 900, or from $529, 900 to $334, 900. The dual character of the man was never better disclosed, in campaign times the friend of the people, who demands in heroic language that the railroads and corporations pay their just bur- dens, then again you see the real governor, pleading for a reduc- tion of these very taxes he claim ed the credit of imposing. No wonder he wants the legislature again for a scapegoat.

KEEL FAVORS
 NEW CONSTITUTION.

Sentiment among lawyers and politicians for a new state con- stitution is growing stronger every day and John H. Keel is quoted as in line with the move ment.
 Register me as being one heartily in favor of a new con- stitution," says Jackson county's representative. As the state has progressed we need a con- stitution somewhere in keeping with the strides made by the state. When the present consti- tuition was adopted it was well and good, but times and condi- tions have since changed so that a new constitution is sadly need ed at the present.

GAZETTE ENDORSES
 KEEL'S ATTITUDE.

During the short time that he served as speaker pro tenn John H. Keel of Jackson county said something that must be welcome to the best people of Arkansas, says the Little Rock Gazette.
 ''I am for white mans rule, first, last and always, declared MT. Keel, "but there is going to be legislation presented here which I shall oppose. It is going to be proposed to separate the school taxes of the negro and the white man according to the proportion paid by each race. While we dislike the brazen effrontery of some of the negroes of the present day, we must not forget the loyalty of the negroes of former times and the patience of the average negro today. l favor a law to educate the negro, not only because it is right, but for the protection of our citizen ship in that the proper teaching makes him a better citizen. l am for educating him, not in the classics, but in something that he can use. "
 Even the white man who cares nothing for the negro's present or future should realize that the negro is an integral part of the industrial structure of the Southern states. Nothing would make the negro so discontented, nothing would raise in him such a strong desire to leave the coun- try, as the denial of opportunity to have his children taught to read and write-for that is what the segregation of school taxes would amount to.

 The Round Dozen were once limited in their refreshments, but the above items, both in number and excellence, would in- dicate that the hostess violated the rules; however, the members had no fault to find with this in- fraction and enjoyed thoroughly the genuine hospitality of the hostess.
