BIG TAX SUIT PROBABLE.
City of Monroe and Little Rock ( Monroe
 Railway at Variance.

There is tone of contention be- tween the assignee of the Little Rock and Monroe Railroad tax and the city government, and most important one, the assignee claiming payment of the amount realized and collected on the assess ment roll of 1906 and the city re- fusing to pay except on the basis of the 1905 tax rollunder which the tax was levied in 1906. The diff ference between the amounts the two rolls would realize is about S4OOO and during the ten years which the tax is to run would aggregate about $5O,OOO, the as sessment rolls constant increas- ing. On the basis of the 1905 roll the tax amounts to about $15,OOO, whereas on the basis of the 1906 and subsequent rolls it would be about $1z,OOO and on up as the assessments increased. No sum was stipulated in the con- tract to be realized, as the law
 requires, and for this reason May or ForsVthe thinks, and reasonably and justly so, it would seem, that the tax should be held down to the basis of the 1905 roll under which it was voted. If this is done, if an amount stated is to be realized, say $15O,OOO, the amount would be discharged, by virture of the yearly increase of the tax resulting from the Increased assessment rolls. long before the expiration of the tsrl the people being the gainer of the of the difference. about $5O,OOO, as stated.
 Demand was made upon the city by the Central Savings Bank and Trust Co., acting forthe assignee and acting administrations from May orForsythe City Tax Collector Flu ker refused to pay the money over.
 The case involves nice point in law aside from the fact that the tax was illegally voted, it having been held by th7 Supreme Court that it is sacram 9ntal in voting taxes in aid of railroads that the amount to be realized from the tax and paid be specified. Monroe News

Longest Session on Record.

The thirty sixth annual session of the General Assembly of the state of Arkansas was the longest in duration and the costliest in the history of the state The session lasted one hundred and twenty days. as against one hundred and fourteen days of the session of 1905, which, up to that time was the longest ever held Despite it's great len gth, this session of the leg islature will not have as many acts to it's credit on the statute books as preceding sessions. but on the other hand, it will have the reputa- tion of being the assembly that passed the greatest number of i'm portant acts.
