ATTY GEN. KIRBY
 SAY NO PAY.
Auditor Moore Not Authorized To Issue Warrants For Work Of Writing Up The Journal Of the Past
 Legislature.

Little Rock, Jnne 11.-Attor- uey General w. F. Kirby yester- terday rendered his opinion involving the question as to whether certain officials of the General Assembly and members of the Journal Committee of tue respective houses are entitled to pay for services in completing the work of the legislature, his opin- ion being that they are not, al though each house authorized the work.
 Before the adjournment of the General Assembly each house adopted resolution authorizing it's presiding officer, certain number of members of the Jour- nal Committee and portion of the clerical force to remain in Little Rock and verify the jour- nal. On Saturday Auditor Avery E. Moore requested an opinion of the attorney general as to wheth- CT the law required him to issue warrants for the services rendered by this force. Attorney General Kirby admits that the work is necessary, that 1t has always been dono in the manner provided for by the recent Legislature, but that there is no law for 1t. He holds that the per diem of each member of the legislature ceases upon adjournment, and that a resolu tion by either house to continue the per diem of any number of members is unconstitutional.
 He holds that the law and the rules of the two houses contem- plate and require that the journal of each house shall be finished, examined and approved during the session and as it proceeds. He also holds the legislature re- sponsible for not having enacted law or adopted joint resolu- ton providing for the pay of its officers and such members upon whom il imposed the extra legis- lative work.
 The question as to whether the journals of the two houses shall be completed and their official acts verified after tEe proceedings have been transcribed 10 the "well-bound book" as the law provides, or whether the situa- tion will demand the call of an extra session to straig out the legal kinks supposed to have been caused by the Kirby decis- lon, will develop before the week is over.

FOREST RESERVE
 FOR POLK COUNTY
Notwithstanding Contrary Reports :, Large Portion of Polk County's Government Land Is
 Withdrawn.

It will be remembered th.. some time ago reports were sent out reg garding the estabishmen, of forest reserve tor this portior of Arkansas. Polk county was .t first included in the list but later report left Polk county out
 Wednesday, Clerks Green and Martin received letters from H. c. Friedhim, register of the United Stated land office at Cam. den, which would seem to estab. fish the fact that Polk couuty's government land is included in this reserve and a very large portion of the government land lying along tte mountain ranges ia this county and heretofore subject to homestead entry and purchase under the timber and stone act, is actually withdrawn subject to the proposed reserve, Mir Freidheim s letter reads as follows:
 "Iu answer 10 your letter of recent date you are advised that the Honorable Commissioner of the General Land Off e under date of May 10, 1907, ordered all vacant nnappropriated public lands within the following de- scribed areas withdrawn from all forms of disposal uader the puh- lie land laws except the mineral laws, for the proposed Arkansas National Forest"
 Then follows a list of lands withdrawn which include about 200 sections scattered through Townships l, Range 2S; T 5, K. 2S; T. 4. K. 2S; T. I, k %: T. }. K. 9; T. 4, K. %; T |, k. 30; T. ,. K. 30; T. 4, k. 30; II K. 3l; T. l, K. 3.
 This covers about IFS, 900 acres, but of course some of this has al. already been homesteaded or otherwise disposed of and as the letter reads this land naturally is not effected.
 At the present time il is i'm possible to estimate the amount of government land withdrawn by this act aud Of course when the special agent examines the land much of 1t which IS suitable for agricultural purposes will be again thrown open to homestead CTS, but at present it is saie to say that large portion of Polk county government land is taken off the homestead list and in MT. Freidheim's letter several appli- cations for homestead entry were returned to the applicants.

CORPORATION MONEY AcCUMULATES
Wingo Act fias Put Nearly $50, ,0OO In
 Treasury In Three Months.

Little Rock, June 1l.-The first three weeks of the Wingo law brought into the treasury of Ar kansas total of $40 This amount came from 190 foreign corporations, who paid the fees required, to be allowed to do bus mess in this state. Of these the London and Lancansbire paid the largest fee, amounting to S3, 700. Prior to the filing oi this compa- ny's papers the largest fee was S2,S0l, by the Southern Cotton Oil Company. Both companies paid the fee under protest, the former bringing suit against the secretary of state for the differ ence between the fec charged and the fee the management thou : ht it should be required to pay.
 The auditor lays the escape from deficiency in the treasury to the operation of the Wiugo law, more than to anything else

 Sleep on little Velma
 Till resurrection day;
 We know you are sleeping
 Under the cold, cold clay. The angels call, you answer,
 And then you enter home To dwell with them and mother
 Around that heavenly throne. You came three months ago
 Upon the earth to dwell And how we miss you, darling,
 No human tongue can tell. We miss your sweet face, smiling.
 We miss those eyes of blue, But still we love you darling
 And angels love you too.

What a New Law Is Doing for Texas

As our readers know, the last Texas legislature passed bill re- quiring life insurance companies to invest in that state 70 per cent of the reserve of Texas policies. News from New York now says the Mu- tual Life Insurance Company will follow the Equitable and the New York Life in withdrawing from Texas, largely on account of this Jaw.
 The New York dispatch says that following this decision the Mutual gave more than 500 of it's Texas sub-agents and others the alterna- tive of resigning from the companyS services or being transferred to another state.
 Those 500 employees of the Mutual probably represent, with their faml- lies and dependents, at least l,5OOt to 2,000 persons, citizens of Texas. Yet the breadwinners of those per sons must now lose their employ ment or move to another state. in either event the economic loss 10 Texas vii be considerable. And the Mutual is only one of the companles that will withdraw.
 A legislature that passes laws which, whether by design or no'' run legitimate concerns out oI state and throw thousands of peopls out of employment is surely dolns doalns it's state an injury. Arkansas ua- zette.
