Up For Second Reading.

The House at the instance of Mr..
A. G. Little of Mississippi county We'd
nesday placed the Smothers bill, re-
lating to amendment to certain sec
tions of the Barker demurrage law,
bck on its second reading, after
which 1t was referred to the judiciary
committee for careful comparison and
investigation. The bill intends to
strengthen the law by making 1t a
misdemeanor for the railway COM
panies to collect demurrage without
having complied with all of the pro-
visions of the law and at the same
time seeks to remove that clause of
the law which the Federal courts
have declared unconstitutional.
Mr.. Little stated that the railroad
commission is anxious to have bill
drawn that will meet these require
ments, and in view of the fact that
whatever legislation is enacted affect
ing the railroads will invariably be
put to the most rigid tests Of con-
stitutionallty he believed that COM
mittee should take the bill in tow be-
fore submitting it to the House. The
suggestion was accepted and the bill
10 referred.

CAPITOL Question AGAIN.

The new state capitol matter is ex-
pected to occupy the center of the leg
islative stage during the coming week.
At the beginning of each week since
the legislature convened similar
prophecy has been made, but legisla-
tors in position to know declared that
there was no doubt that both branch
es of the assembly will take up the
matter this week and that the fight
ing stage would be reached before the
week ends. The governor and legisla-
ture in general are urging speed in
the disposition of the matter on ac-
count of the need of immediate work
on the new capitol and the cry OF the
people asking that the structure be
completed as soon as possible. For
these reasons it is the intention OF as
many legislators as have been heard
on the matter, to settle it as quickly
as possible.

To punish Wife Deserters.

Senator Henderson's bill to punish
men who desert their wife and child
rem with a maximum fine of $1,000, to
which may be added Imprisonment,
was passed by vote of ! to 0. The
senator said the bill should be passed
in the interests of humanity and civili-
cation, and declared that, as far as
he could learn, Arkansas is the only
state in the Union that does not
punish wife deserters.
Senator Wingo of Sewer wanted to
know if the bill provided a punish
ment for those husbands who mistreat
their wives. The senator explained
the bill did not include a provision of
the kind mentioned, but that in his
opinion the statute on wife beating
covers the subject.

Nature Of the Remedies.

Some OF theremedies lie with the ma
tiOnal government. some of them with
the states and communities in their
corporate capacities, some with Volun-
tarY organizations. and some with in
dividuals acting alone. From the great
number of suggestions that have been
made, covering every phase of country
life, the commission. now enumerates
those that seem to be most funda-
mental or most needed at the present
time.
Congress can remove some of the
handicaps of the farmer. and it can
also set some kinds of work in motion
such as:
The encourage cement OF a system Of
thorough going surveys of all agricul-
:ural regions in order to take stock
and to develop scientifically and
economically sound country life;
The establishing of nationalized
system of extension work in rural
communities through all the land
grant colleges with the people at their
homes and on their farms:
A thorough going investigation by
experts of the middleman system Of
handling farm products. coupled with
general inquiry into the farmers
disadvantages in respect to taxation,
transportation rates. cooperation or
ganiZations and credit and the gen
cral business system:
An inquiry into the control and use
OF the streams of the United States
with the object of protecting the peo-
pie in their ownership and of saving
TO agricultural uses such benefits as
should be reserved for these purposes;
The establishing of highway en-
cheering service, or equivalent organi-
zation, to be at the call of the states
in working out effective and econom-
ical highway systems:
The establishing of system of
parcels post and postal savings
banks;
And providing some means or
agency for the guidance of public
opinion toward the development of
real rural society that shall rest di-
rectly on the land
Other remedies recommended for
consideration by congress are:
The enlargement of the United
states bureau of education. to enable
II to stimulate and coordinate the ed
ucatfonal work of the nation;
Careful attention to the farmers
interests in legislation on the tariff
on regulation of railroads, control or
regulation of corporations and of spec
ulatlon. legislation in respect of riv-
ers, forests. and the utilization of
swamp lands:
Increasing the powers of the fed
eral government in respect to the
supervision and control of the public
health;
Providing such regulations as will
enable the states that do not permit
the sale of liquors to protect them
selves from traffic from adjoining
states.
In setting ali these forces in motion.
The cooperation of the states will be

Most Prominent Deficiencies.

Yet II Is tTuS, All
this progress as measured by his
torical standards, that agriculture is
not commercially as profitable as it is
entitled to be for the labor and energy
that the farmer expends and the risks
that he assumes, and that the social
conditions in the open country are far
short of their possibilities. We must
measure our agricultural efficiency by
the possibilities rather than by COM
parison with previous conditions. The
farmer is almost necessarily handi
capped in the development of his bust
ness. because his capital is small and
the volume of his transactions limited;
and he usually stands practically
alone against organized interests. In
the general readjustment of modern
life due to the great changes in manu-
features and commerce. inequalities
and determinations have arisen, and
naturally the separate man suffers
most The unattached man has prob
lens that government should under
stand.
The reasons for the lack of a highly
organized rural society are very many,
as the full report explains. The lead
ing specific causes are:
A lack of knowledge on the part of
farmers of the exact agricultural con-
dtions and possibilities of their re-
gions;
Lack of good training for country
life in the schools;
Lack of good highway facilities;
The widespread continuing deple
ton of soils, with the injurious effect
on rural life;
A general need of new and active
leadership.
other causes contributing to the
general result are: Lack of any ade-
Quate system of agricultural credit.
whereby the farmer may readily Sc
cure loans on fair terms; the short
age OF labor, a condition that is often
complicated by intemperance among
workmen; lack of institutions and in
centives that tie the laboring man to
the soil: the burdens and the narrow
life of farm women; lack of adequate
supervision of public health.

PLANTS OF OTHER COUNTRIES

Government Is Making Important Ex-
pertinent.

Washington, Aug. 23.-During the
last year the Department of Agricul-
ture has brought into the United
States more than 1000 carefully Sc
lected plants from various parts of
the world, With a view to diversity
ing the products of the soil in this
country
Especial regard has been paid to the
introduction of plants that will grow
in sections in which either the
drought or the severe cold has made
it nearly impossible to obtain crops of
any kind. These plants have been
placed in the hands of private expert
mentors and official plant breeders.
The result thus far obtained in domes-
ticating them has been very encourag-
ing.
Some of the most important of the
plants have been gathered from arid
portions of China, and it is believed
they can be adapted to the dry states
of the Southwest
Among these is a Chinese date palm
that, it is said, resists drought and
produces valuable fruit. A new
clover from the Himalaya mountains
can be grown in the hottest portions
of the Southwest

The Rockefeller dollars are in light

would take more than 10000 years to

The Rockefeller Fortune.

The latest approximately accurate
5stimate available places his fortune
II 1905 at at least $55O,0O0,000, In
1890 it was $40O,00O,O00 This is al
increase for the five years of $50, 600
goo. At this ratio the Rockefeller for
tune is today about $700000,000 In
,914. still at the same rate of increase
it will be about $85O,000,000. and in
1919, when the oil king reaches his
eiGhtieth year, it will have reached the
stupendous, brain giddying total OF
one llion-an inconceiyable sam.
But it is not in the nature of things
that the organization he has built III
will stand still. Year after year, by
day and night, the value of its stock
and dividends must increase. 1t is
simply a natural law, working in the
interest of an old, wrinkled, passion
less man.
In September, 1907, it was estimated
by Rockefeller's closest associates
that his income was at least $3O25 a

high as $40 during the same space of
time. The sums earned for him by
