If our board of trade IS to be worth anything to the town and county. it must have liberal funds at its disposal. Nominal monthly dues will not provide sufficient revenue. A competent secretary ought to be employed for all of his time to further the work ot the board. Probably not less than S2ooo per year will be needed. To raise this amount, the merchants and citizens must contribute liber- ally according to their ability. An aggressive board of trade will be we'll worth S2oo per year to the larger houses, and from $50 up to the smaller concerns. We believe our business men will respond to the need with their characteristic liberality.

The senate Monday passed a bill by Senator Milan virtually repeal ing the Amis anti-racing bill, by permitting gambling on races in Garland county for forty days each year. The Amis bill passed both houses fairly and squarely and ev- eryone thought the fight was over. The Little Rock Gazette affects
The log cabin Democrat., 1907-05-09

great surprise at this latest action of the senate, but we do not be- lieve the surprise of the Gazette equals that of many of its readers. The first intimation of the Ga zettes readers had of the matter was after the Milan bill had been read the third time and passed. Why did the Gazette, to which the state is paying thousands of dollars to report the proceedings of fhe legislature, not tell its readers when this Milan bill was intro duced in the senateo Or when 1t came up for its second reading? Evidently the Gazette in this case, as in the state capitol case and many other cases of public inter est, excluded from its columns the things which it was to the Ga zette's interest to conceal from the people.

With the capitol architect, who draws his salary from the state, and the two Little Rock dailies, which draw their support from the people of the state, all working might and main in the defense ot the Indiana contractors and against the interests of the state, it is indeed strange that so much graft has been permitted to be un- covered.

graph in the specifications, we are informed, contains the provision which is common to all specified tions, that where anything IS shown on one sheet of the pans and not on another, that thing III all cases shall be taken as required by the plans. If this paragraph occurs in the specifications as stat ed then MT. Donaghey was cor rect in stating that the S27, 246 was enormously paid to the contract ors.
 The omission of the fluting of these columns is admitted, but it is claimed that this can be done later, although the committee recommends that it be left off en- tirely, the state taking credit for the omission.
 The cinder concrete is approved by the committee.
 The freproofng is condemned.
 The charge that the contractors have been overpaid for the work performed is denied.
 The charge that the bonds ot the contractors and architect are in- sufficient is admitted, and the attor- ney general is asked to make more thorough investigation of this mat ter.
 The action of commissioners throughout is approved.
 But the "whitewash was evi- dently exhausted and the brush worn out by the time the commit tee reached the conclusion of their report. This is seen in their recom- mendations which are given i'll full below. The italics are ours.
 "I. We recommend that the contractors be required to complete their contract, with the exception of the construction of the copper dome and the plaster wainscoting. While Ve condemn, as we believe do all good citizens, Me conaucf of Me contyactoys 6efoye the laSt Gen. eyal AssembN, we feel that If they are not required to complete their contract, with the exceptions men, toned, the state will sustain great financial loss. We are thoroughly convinced that the pay they have already received is at leaa amply su67cieut to cover what they have done, and that, owing to the change ill the cost of material and labor, no great profit will be made on account of the work to be done.
 "2. We recommend that the commission be instructed to let a new contract or contracts tor the construction of a stone dome to the capitol and for the substitution of marble wainscoting with scagllola above it, instead of plaster, as IS now contemplated. By an examl- nation of the plans adopted by the board of 1899, it will be clearly shown what marble and scagllola is herein mentioned. For these two items we recommend that the commissioners be directed to take a credit from Caldwell & Drake on account of their not having to do this work. Ue also recommend Mat any future comtractS ShaH n0f be ket 10 any contractor or 6Hzlder who has attembted 6y c0,1Nbfion 10 brocu,e oy infuence any AeelSlaflon with reteyence 10 he erection of the ne70 Sfate capitol.
 "3.

The Log Cabin Democrat is in formed from all authoritative source, that the officials of the Paci- fc Express Co. are.investigating the matter of putting in an uptown ex- press office and installing free de livery service in this city. There is hardly any question but that, if the proper pressure is brought to bear upon the company, this ser vice will be granted us, as Morril- ton and Russellville, smaller towns than Conway, are already enjoying it, and have been for a number of years. It should be one of the first duties of our new board of trade to see that we get it.

THE INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE
 REPORTS.

Oh ioDN N1otuAaaJ shS appointed to investigate the new state capitol submitted its report to the general assembly, after hay ing been at work in secret sessions for nearly four months. The re- port was signed by every member of the committee except Senator Otis T. Wingo, who submitted a minority report adverse to the con- tractors.
 As was to be expected from in terviews and statements previously given out by individual members of the committee, the report was an attempt to clear the contractors, Caldwell & Drake, of the charges made against them by Geo. w. Donaghey. The whole report is written in such language as one would expect brief for the de- fense of the contractors to be pre- pared. Where errors are admitted by the committee, the admission is in most cases followed by tedious arguments purporting to show that perhaps, after all, the contractors should not be blamed.
 E But despite the fact that the committee has seen fit to take the side of the Indiana contractors rather than that of the state, a careful perusal. of their report will prove that most of the charges made by MT. Donaghey are, in effect, admitted. Space does not permit us to consider all of them, but a few instances will be given.
 The change of stone used in the upper stories is admitted, but the committee claims the substitute is 'just as good"
 The stone in the walls is admit ted to be only four inches thick in places, instead of six inches, as re- quired by .the plans, but because some of the stone is as thick as eight inches, the committee claims the state has sustained no loss. MT. Donaghey claimed that by using thinner stone and substi- tuting brick which were fur nished free by the state, the loss to the state was S7o,ooo. The committee :does not discuss this phase of the question, though it is taken up by MT. Wingo in his mi nority report.
 The matters of using cheaper mortar, leaving out hollow tile furrinS and ush-hammering" the stone instead of using No. s cut work, " is claimed by the com mittee not be a violation of the specifications. MT. Donaghey, who is ill possession of the plans and specifications, says that it is, and that the state has thereby lost about S4o, 900.
 The matter of the eight columns on the west front, for which the contractors were paid S27, 246 as an extra, is given exhaustive treat ment by the committee. The whole question is embodied in this sentence taken from the commit tees report: ''The main drawings of the building show that these columns were erased, while the columns appear upon the west ele- vation. Expressed in different language this means that lines were drawn through the section of plans showing the base of the col umns on the ground plan, or as viewed from above, while on the west elevation, or the plan which shows the building as viewed from the west, the columns appear. Now the question is, which of these plans were to be followed in reference to the columns? A para

The Religious WaiStcOat.

The Rev. W. l.. Hood of Bristol, R. | caused q good deal of discusl- sion recently with the statement that his two children, both under ten years, had never sinned.

 "Those two children must have consciences as clear as the con science of an old colored man down one of our back streets.
 The old man-Romulus was his name-took sick one day. and in little while it looked as if his end was near. The minister was sent for, and came promptly-a stout man, done up in one of those religious waistcoats without any buttons down the front or any opening at the neck.
