NO PROGRESS ON PROHI BILL

No Action is Taken.

Little Rock, Feb. 27.-Special.
Although the state wide prohi-

was discussed on the floor of the
lower house yesterday afternoon
it's status remains the same. 1t
was brought up on a motion of
Little, of Mississippi, to reject the
substitute bill offered by Simpson
of Scott, providing for a submission
of the question to the people at a
special July election. Glover of
Hot Spring and Hurst of Wash

State Golfers Being Filed.

Little Rock, Feb. 27.-Special -
An avalanche of money is descend
ing upon the Office of the state
auditor today. The shower of coin
has been coming for some days and
has been gradually increasing in
volume until today the greatest
quantity of all arrived. The cause
of it all is the fact that under the
provisions of the Wingo law the
insurance companies of the state
must before March pay into the
state treasury a specified percen-
tage of the amount represented by
business written during the year.
The money is accompanied by le-
gally required detailed sworn state
ments, all of which must be check
ed and audited. The result is an
enormous amount of clerical labor
and burdensome responsibility.
What the money being paid in
will amount to cannot be more than
approximately estimated. Last
year the insurance taxes amounted
to SS4 900 in round numbers and
this year it will be something over
that. The work of receiving and
accounting for the money falls up
on Stete Auditor and Insurance
Commissioner lobe and Insurance
Clerk Colquitt.

is SUGGESTED
FROM SATURDAYS DAILY.

This mornings Gazette prints
an account of a caucus of about 5
state senators held yesterday, at
which a compromise on the state
capitol matter was discussed. The
article says in part:
1T is understood that Senator
Simms of Chicot was the leading
spirit in bringing the caucus about,
and that he drew skeleton of a
compromise bill that will in all
probability be introduced. The
bill will provide for the discharge
of George R. Mann, the architect,
Caldwell & Drake, the contractors,
retain the present commission and
increase the commission by four
members, making Governor Dona-
ghey ex-officio chairman of the
board with a vote in case of a tie.
The bill will carry an appro-
priation of S725,o $500, 900 of
which is to be used in completing
the building, $3.50 for installing
heating plant, $50, 900 for light
plant, and $500, 900 for furniture.
1t provides that the capitol shall be
completed by January I, 1911"
Governor Donaghey is in Con-
way today, but of course would
make no comment on the propos-
ed compromise. He seems to feel
however, that the Legislature is
becoming more in favor in his
recommendations for the dispos-
ition of the capito! matter.
