State Capital Notes

Little Rock.-Attorney General w. r. Shelby has rendered an opinion to the effect that a member of the legs lature is ineligible to hold position on the St. Francis Levee Board and as a 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 member of the Board of Trustees of the Uni versity of Arkansas and State Senator Otis T. WingO as member ot the State Normal Board. This, perhaps, will be the result unless Representa- 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 MT. Kirby's opinion. Governor Pindall is expected to an nounce the appointment to fill the vacancies early this week. It has been stated by an authority who is close to the acting governor that 1t was very likely that he would name Eugene J. Badinelli of Wynne to sue ceed Representative o N. Killough, and that he would appoint Eugene Rolfe or Thomas A. Buford of Forrest City to succeed Oscar Woln, resigned. Mr. Rolfe is one of the largest cotton planters in St. Francis county. MT. Badinelli was for many years 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. 0. Love of Lee county, it is said, has not yet been decided on. The St. Francis Levee District Board is composed of 24 members, three from each of the eight counties that compose the dis trict, as follows:
 Craighead County-J. C. Hawthorne, Walter Higginbotham, William T. Thorn.

It is the business of the Union to teach good farming in all that this word means. It means good planting, good seeds, proper laying off of the crop, proper sorts of things to plant, above all, the proper marketing, flor what profiteth it man if he maketh a hoss-lot full of stuff, and the Philis. tine gets it for a song." That is not exactly according to the words of the Scriptures, but it fits the case all the same.

The fact is, the Union has no eme
 mics. or at least mighty few. It Is no doubt true that there are some who have sought for Iiace or power and have fallen down in their ambitions. Some of these have little enough sense and manhood to want to destroy what they cannot control, but these are few, and of comparatively little influence. That man who has little or no influence inside of the order will
 have but little more outside of it. Don't worry about that sort of people.

More and more we see the growing need of some new land-holding system. thousands upon thousands of acres of land have been grabbed by speculat- 0rs and land-grabbers and held until the settlement of adjoining lands have knade them vastly valuable, and then sold at outrageous prices to men who had to have land, the original owners having done nothing to make them valuable, and having gotten them simply because they happened to get there first. It is as true as that the day follows the night that the land is a gift of God to all His creatures, and some day they are coming into their own. Land and air and water are na- ture's gifts to all her children, and to all alike, and that one who flinders her design is in imminent danger.

The Farmers Union is not in poli- tics, in the partisan sense, but it is in politics all the time, in the sense that it is the farmer who pays the freight" and is entitled to the deliv- cry of the goods he pays for. It is the business of the Union to see that he does get the goods. The partisan vote of the members of the Union is a matter for each individual to settle for himself and is matter that the Un- ion will not meddle with.

Collectors Fees.

Attorney General Kirby in an opin- ion recently handed down as to the compensation a sheriff or collector is entitled to for collecting revenue says that the law allows them commissions on the kind of funds they receive for taxes. His opinion is as follows: The collector is to be allowed and paid commissions in kind of the funds col lected. For the first $10,000 collected, per cent; for all sums over $10,O00 and under S20,000 collected, 3 per cent; for all sums over S20,OO0 col lected, per cent. Thus, if the whole revenue collected shall amount to $60,000 in one year, he is to be allowed on the first S10000 per cent, $500; on the second $10,C00 per cent, $500; on remaining $40,000 per cent, $500. In all, $1 500 dollars, or an average of 266 2-3 per cent on the said S60,000, He also is allowed the same fees for making distress and sale of goods and chattels for the payment of taxes as are now or hereafter may be allowed by law, to sheriffs for making levy and sale of property on execution and traV- cling fees, to be computed at o0 cents for each delinquent visited

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 law requires the collector to settle with the auditor within 15 days after he has made a settlement with the County Court, and the County Court meets every year fer the purpose ol making this settlement on the first Monday in July.
