Bar Association Raps Legislature.

The first days session of the Ar kansas Bar Association which con- vened Thursday morning in the cir cult court room of the federal build ing at Little Rock was marked by an important report of the committee on law and law reforms, which declared that the Arkansas legislature is being more and more governed by local and special legislation to the detri- ment of the state. The report was endorsed and an interesting discus sion followed it's reading. The com mittee is composed of John Fletcher. Thomas C. McRea and J. H. Car michael President w. H. Arnold Of Texarkana presided over the conven- tion
 The report called attention to the fact that the constitution of Arkansas provides that Tn all cases where general law can be made applicable, no special law shal be enacted" and that mo local or special bill shall be passed unless the notice of the inten- tion to apply therefor shall have been published in the locality to be af- fected for 30 days"
 Since the decision of the case of Davis vs. Gaines was rendered." COD tinues the report, holding that the ac- ton of the legislature is conclusive of any question that may be raised in reference to these provisions of the constitution, they have been practical ly disregarded by the legislature
 The report shows that by the legis- lature of 1S74-75 100 bills were passed of which II were local and special and 89 were general Only II per cent of the whole number were local and spe- cial. Coming down to the last gen eral assembly, there were enacted 474 bills, of which 30S are local and spe- cial and 166 are general. The per centage of local and special bills is 62.S7 per cent.
 "We can suggest no remedy, other than that which appeals to the con scientious discharge of duty by the individual legislators" says the report. "A reference of each local or special bill to a proper committee charged with the duty to inquire into the ques- tion arising under the constitutional provisions referred to, might go far to correct the evil.
 "We also suggest that law should be enacted regulating the publication of the notice indicated by the consti- tuition. and a proper construction of such an act by the supreme court might go long way to correct the apparent wrong growing out of the decision in Davis vs. Gaines"
