TAX COMMISSION IS CREATED Senate Passes Bradham- Smith
 Bill.
House Defeats All Amendments to Old ham New State Capi-
 tol Bill.

Another of the Donaghey cam paign issues has become a law in Arkansas, the senate yesterday af- ternoon passing the Bradham- Smith tax commission bill by a vote of 24 to 8. The entire alter noon was consumed in the fight on the bill and amendment after amendment was offered, to be tossed aside, and the bill was pass ed in the same form i'll which it came from the house. The bill was taken up in the afternoon for amendment only, and Senator Ton ey made the first effort at amend ment. He suggested an appropri- ation of SIo, ,ooo be made to pro- vide a fund for the carrying out of the sections of the act. This was rejected on the grounds the Sena- tor was trying to tax an apppEo- priaton on the bill and thus re- quire two thirds vote to pass it. Senator Toney then came back with an amendment to make the commission elective instead of ap- pointed by the governor. On mo- tion of Senator Wingo this was tabled. Senator Keel offered an amendment to make the commits sion appointive by the supreme court. This was tabled. Senator Mex night offered an amendment that no two commissioners be se- lected from the same railroad con- mission district. Tabled. Sena- tor Toney was back with a pro- posed amendment to have no mem- Der of the present general assem- bly, member of the commission. Tabled. Senator Henderson then rendered an amendment to require each commissioner to give bond of $5o, ,ooo and this too was lost. Senator Toney offered another, striking from the bill the power of the governor to discharge appoin- tees, which was tabled. A mo- ton to adjourn on the part of Sen ator Logan, was defeated. Sena- tor Wingo moved the bill be placed on its final passage. Speaker Martin ruled it would require two-thirds vote to put the bill on its third reading, as it was up for amend ment only. The roll was called and stood 22 to IT. This placed the bill on it's final passage. Sen ators White, Mcknight and Pat terson opposed the bill, and Sena tor Oldham made the final speech in its favor. The roll was then called and all but Senators Carlock, Hamiter, Henderson, Mcknight, Patterson, Toney, White and Yopp voted in its favor.
 All Amendments Defeated.
 Reaching the final section of the state capitol bill late in the after noon, without amending any of the previous sections, the house hung up for the day with the under standing that tue bill was privileg- ed matter and could be called up at any time. Amendment after amend ment was offered until 1t came down to the tax levy for state capitol purposes. Combs of Mad ison moved this tax be repealed. After some discussion a vote was taken. Hurst of Washington, who was presiding over the house i'll a committee of the whole declared the vote a tie, 40 to 40 and the vote was accordingly lost. An amendment was then offered to abolish the tax in 1910, it being argued a sufficient sum would then be raised for the completion of the building.

DO IT NOW.
People Should Not Wait
 Until It Is Too Late.

The appalling death-rate from kidney disease Is due in most cases to the fact that the little kidney troubles are usually neglected until they become serious. The slight symptoms give place to chronic dis orders and the sufferer goes gradu- ally into the grasp Of diabetes, drop sy, Bright's Disease, gravel or some o.fcr form of kidney complaint.
 If you suffer from backache, head acse, dizzy spells; If tho kidney se- cretions are irregular of passage and unnatural in appearance, do not de- lay. Help the kldneys it once.
 Doan's Kidney Pills are especially for kidney isorders-they cure where o'hsis fail. Over one hundred thousand people have recommended them.
 Thomas Connor, living at 226 Grove Street, New Milford, Ct., says: "l have used Doan's Kidney Pills off and on for several years and am glad to recommend them. My trouble was chiefly a retention of the kidney se- cretions and on more than one oc- casion an operation had to be per- formed to give me relief. Deans Kidney Pills have always brought about a more natural flow of kidney secretions and they have benefited me in general way. l consider this remedy an excellent one and ad- wise its use to other kidney suffer- ers."
