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 a result Governor Pindall will ra- | move Representatives Killough and | Love. The sweeping opinion ofthe attor-
 hey 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 l Otis T. Wingo as a member of the
 State Normal Board This, perhaps,
 will be the result unless Representa-
 tive Killough or Representative Love l should take the issue raised by the l attorney generals opinion to the courts, and the Supreme Court should decide. the constitutional question ad- | versely to MT. kirby's opinion. i 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 it | 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. | MT Rolfe is one of the largest cotton planters in St. Francis county.
