SENATE KILLS A
 GOOD ROAD BILL
Strong Amendments Passed to the Anti-Future Bill House Giving Attention to the Demur-
 rage Bill.

s8hb 11tAs
 The House of Representatives IS Ia the midst of a discussion of the Barker and Coleman demur- rage bills, and all of the after noon session and part of the morning session was taken up in that way. The discussion will probably be resumed this morn- ing as unfinished business.
 The principal speaker yester- day was Mir. Coleman, who spoke for his uotion to substitute his bill for that offered by Mir. Barker. He made a lengthy speech and was given the closest attention throughout by the members. After he had spoken two hours and half Mir. Barker suggested that others would like to be beard. A motion made by MT. Rowell, that Mir. Coleman be given as much time as he desired, was unanimously. It was re- marked by many of the members that Mir. Coleman's speech showed that he had given the subject the closest attention. and that 1t was one of the best ad- dresses that had ever been made on the floor of the house.
 At the morning session drastic amendments to the bill by Mir. Moore of Independence. to pro- hibit dealings in futures, were adopted. One in particular, by Mir. Coleman, prohibits the soliciting or receiving of orders for futures to be executed in this state or elsewhere, and makes it unla wful to send an order by mail, telephone or telegraph for futures to be executed in this state or elsewhere, and for auy telegraph company to deliver any message concerning the purchase of sale of futures or which con- tains report of the purchase or sale of futures.
 Montgomery Good Roads Bill Killed.
 The question of working con- victs on the roads of the state under county supervision was thoroughly gone over in the sem ate yesterday in one of the long est discussions of the present session, resulting in killing of the bill by Senator Montgomery which had been endorsed by the Good Roads Convention. The defeat of this measure is not re. garded as indicating finally that the upper legislative body is op- posed to the sentiment of the bill, but there are others bearing on the same subject, differing only in technical points, and one of these may fiud more favor. On motion by Senator Lee, the Montgomery bill may also be reconsidered and taken up later in the session.
 The senate adjourned during committee action on the Simins bill, providing for an exhibit at the Jamestown Tercentennial Exposition. Amendments are to be proposed which will decrease tue appropriation asked for from $50, 900 to $l5,000.

FOR ARKANSAS
 SCHOOL HOUSES
;o Legislature Providing for the ,..o of State School Fund to School Districts at Low Rate of Interest.

r;,tle Rock, Feb. 20. Prof
 u x Crawford, superintendent
 \ the Arkadelphia public schools
 nd county examiner of Clark
 atv who was deputy state ,,oerintendent of schools under prof Iunius Jordan, IS in the city
 ,he interests of a bill pending
 T the legislature, authorizing
 he investment of the permanent
 c,ool fund in school district warrants.
 .One of the most important
 rsasures that has been before he legislature this session is Eenate Bill No. 9S, by Senator
 ,oodwin," Prof. Crawford de- Jared "This bill was brought |,p for fual passage in the Sen pte this morning. As the bill atood at the time 1t was brought |,o. it made provision fer lending
 ,e,manent school fund to snecial school districts only. Eenator Mcknight was of the bpiuion that this ought also to to common school districts, |and requested that 1t be so amended. The amendment was made. and the bill IS made q |snecial order for next Wednesda, l at ? o'clock.
 If the intent of this bill can he carried out, it means saving |of over $50 900 year to the |state of Arkansas. directly to the |school districts for school funds. |There is now about a million and Ia quarter of dollars invested in } her cent bonds. We are informed |that these bonds can be sold at |par. Any school district in the |state, now desiring to build a house, is compelled to % into the open market outside the state and bor ow the money at from 6 to s per cent. They are now borrow ing money in Little Rock at be- tween and 6 per cent to pay Tor new school buildings, while the commissioners of common school fund are lending money at } per cent. Ii this money could be loaned to the districts at say 4 per 1t, the increase on the iu- come on million and quarter dollars would be something like twelve thousand dollars year. At the same time, the decrease iu the expense to the districts borrowing the money, would be the. difference between 4 and 6 per cent, and if a million and a quarter of dollars worth of school buildings should be built, and everyone knows we need them, there would be a difference in favor of all these districts, of about twenty-four thousand dol lars per year. This, with the twelve thousand dollars increase in the income of the permanent school fund, would make a total saving to the state of about .thlrty-six thousand dollars in round numbers.
