STORMS STILL RAGE
 IN PEN. BOARD
Hot Passages Between Attorney Gener- alNorwood and Governor Don- aghey May Again
 Lease Convicts.

Little Rock, Feb. 2l.-Just as stormy as the sessions of old was that held Saturday mofning by the state penitentiary board, in which efforts were made to pro- vide temporarily for the working of the white convicts wbo are now idle in thestate penltentiary, so they would not be an expense to the state.
 The entire board was present when Chairman JoDe called the adjourned meeting to order. The response to the roll call was har- monious, as was also the business which followed soon after, the selection of minor employees for the reform school, but as soon as the disposition of the conyicts was broached the fur began to rise.

Charges of Insincerity.


 Only once was there any out burst of sentiment between the mem bers of the bC ard, which came after a resol lutiou by Attor- ney General Norwood that the couvicts be worked on the roads of the state under the direction of the governor.
 Governor Donaghey intimated that he thought Attorney Gener- al Norwood insiucere In the mat ter. Attorney General Norw ood replied that he thought Governor Douaghey was insincere in all his dealings, accusing the governor of playing politics.
 Later wh.n Governor Donag- hey favored the taking of the convlcts from the penitentiary to the farm immediately, Attorney Genera Norwood asked the gov- ernor where the convicts would stay on the farm. The governor replied they could be provided for, as were the soldiers during the war. Commissioner Tucker then took a hand and stated he knew where to place the governor if he wished to have the convicts get out with bloody feet and lit- tie 10 eat. The governor, seeing his reply had been misunderstood, made no response.
 To Lease for Thirty Days. The matter was finally settled by the passage of the resolution Introduced to lease the convicts for thirty days to the highest bidder, provided no bids were made for less than $l per day per convict. It was also decided that tue farm immediat tely be put in readiness for the reception of the convits by the erection of additional stocksdes, and that they be worked there after the lease of thirty days expires.

Governor Would Provide For
Continuing Work On Good
Roads.

Governor Crothers, since the publ
cation of the figures showing the in
creased revenue he hopes to bring into
the State Treasury as well as the
amount of thy States money he expects
10 save next year. has received NUN
Der of inquiries from county people as
to whether he meant that with money
enough saved to pay off the present
$4,000, 900 road loaQ without imposing
a cent in the way Of direct taxation up
on the masses of the people, another
road loan of $4,000, 900, $4,000, 900 of
which would be spent in Baltimore
city would be feasible at once.
In answering this question the Cover
nor said:
II did mean exactly that. Of course
no one wants another loan before we
have expended the one we now have
The law provides that we cannot spend
more than million year of this loan
so that it will take at least five years to
get through with the present money
available for road purposes. When
this is done, however, l believe it will
be seen that it has cost the people not
one cent: that their taxes have not been
will be SO great that they will be ready
and willing for another $4,000, 900 loan
to still further carry on the good work
in the same way.
~ will have nothing to do with the
next loan. That will come unde.' the
Governor who follows my adminstra-
ton, but believe that will come just
the same, and that the people, when
they realize the $5,000,O00 has been
spent without their feeling the burden,
will be eager for another loan under
the same conditions.
"The only people who will pay for
this loan of ours now are the men who
drink whisky, who ride in automobiles
and who inherit fortunes which they do
not earn themselves. l do not think
you will hear any very strenuous object
tions from the masses of the people
about letting these three classes pay in
tsrest for their roads. The revenue to
pay interest. on and redeem the bonds of
the present loan will come from bile tax
and the collateral Inheritance tax,
which>h has been doubled within the last
year, and may be put still higher next
year do not think these classes will
kick about what burdens are placed up
on them, realizing that they are only
just, and l am certain the people VIII"
do not drink whisky, ride in automo-
biles or inherit fortunes they do not ear Il
will not protest"

Will Accept Bids.

Governor Crothers announced Mon
day the Board of Public Works would
accept bids from anyone desiring to in
vest in the good road bonds. Said he:
"We could bave accepted the New York
bid for the entire issue even though it
was below par, there being nothing in
the act to prohibit the award; but we
preferred to have the bonds taken by
our own people. The investment is a
good one even for those desiring small
amounts, the interest being equal to
that paid by savings banks and being
free from taxation. We will sell any
amount, the lowest denomination being
500. I am sure when the people ap-
preciate that theycan place their savings
to advantage in this way it will not be
long before the entire issue is disposed
of"
