State Capital Notes

Little Rock.-Attorney General w.
F. Shelby has rendered an opinion to
the effect that a member of the legi5
lature is ineligible to hold position
on the st. Francis Levee Board and
as result Governor Pindall will re-
move Representative Killough and
Love. The sweeping opinion of the attor-
ney general, it is stated, will have the
effect of displacing State Senator w.
S. Goodwin of Warren as a member
of the Board of Trustees of the Uni
versity of Arkansas and State Senator
Otis I. Wingo as a member OF the
State Normal Board. This, perhaps,
tive Killough or Representative Love
should take the issue raised by the
attorney generals opinion to the
courts, and the Supreme Court should
decide the constitutional question ad-
versely to Mr.. Kirby's opinion.
Governor Pindall is expected to an
nounce the appointment to fill the
vacancies early this week. 1t has
been stated by an authority who
is close to the acting governor that it
was very likely that he would name
Eugene j. Badinelli of Wynne to sue
coed Representative o N. Killough,
and that he would appoint Eugene
Rolfe or Thomas A. Buford of Forrest
City to succeed Oscar Violin, resigned.
Mr.. Rolfe is one of the largest cotton
planters in st. Francis county. Mr..
Badinelli was for many years a prom
inent retail liquor dealer in Wynne,
also a dealer in real estate, which
business he is still engaged in. For
several years he has been president
of the liquor dealers organization OF
Arkansas. The question as to who
will succeed Representative F. o.
Love of Lee county, it is said, has not
yet been decided on. The st. Francis
Levee District Board is composed OF
"a members, three from each of the
eight counties that compose the dis
trict, as follows:
Craighead County,. C. Hawthorne,
Walter Higginbotham, William T,
Thorn.
Cross County-O. N. Killough, A. H
Hammett, T. E. Hare.
Crittenden County,. P. Perry, S.
P. Willeford, Samuel Keel.
Lee County,. F. Robertson, H. F.
Robson, F. o. Love.

E. Clanton, w. B. Miller.

At the recent meeting Of the Board
of Commissioners of the Arkansas
State Penitentiary a Letter from Mrs.
Crowder, asking the board to pay her
a reasonable sum as damages for the
death of her son, Willie Crowder, who
was killed by an electric wire of the
state electric plant about a year ago,
was read. The letter was referred to
Attorney General Kirby for an opinion
as to the authority of the board TO COM
ply with the request. Attorney General
Kirby Thursday rendered his opinion.
in which he states that the relief asked
for may be had only by an act OF the
legislature.

Elements in full or in part with the
state auditor The collectors who
have made no settlements this year
are those of Cross, Little River,
Poinsett and Sebastian counties.
Quite a number owe small balances,
which is usually the case every year,
and which is unavoidable. The larg-
est balance due on an unpaid settle
ment is by the collector of Conway
county, who has paid about $1,000 on
a collection of about $4,000. The
law requires the collector to settle
with the auditor within Is days after
he has made a settlement with the
County Court, and the County Court
meets every year for the purpose Oh
making this settlement on the first
Monday in July.
