STILL

If there is any doubt lingering
in the minds of the Republicans
as the meaning of the decisive
victory of the Democratic candi-
date in Diamonds old district,
it should vanish after reading the
returns from the special election
held in Boston, Mass, Tuesday,
March %, to elect a successor to
the late William C. Lowering. The
Democratic candidates, Eugene N.
Foss, was elected over his Repub-
lican rival, William R. Buchan-
nan, by a majority of 5,640. This
turns a Republican plurality of
1880 into a Democratic victory
of 5,640. The campaign was
fought out on practically the
same issues that made Dicken-
sons victory a notable one,
namely; The high cost of living,
the Payne-Aldrick Tariff Bill and
Cannonism.

 News Notes
EXPECT AN INCREASE IN RAIL
 ROAD ASSESSMENTS.
Raise in Valuation of Property Will Not Be as Large as Last
 Year, However.

The Arkansas Tax Commission is now busily engaged with the task of assessing all railroad property in the state, and although only short lines have been considered by the commits sion thus far, the indications are that there will be a material increase ln the total valuation of railroad prop erty. However, it is not expected that the increase this year over the valuation made by the commission last year will equal the increase of valuation of 1909 over that of 1908. The commission made it's first railroad assessments last year, and at that time there was plenty of room for increase or at least so the commission found. This year the increase will principally be held to the improve ments made on the different lines and the general increase in property holdings. The railroads are required to file annual statements with the commission, in which they are expect ed to set forth the true value of their property The commission then con
  representatives of the railroads in re- gard to anything they may have to Say relative to the valuations. The representatives are questioned con cerning many points by the commis- sioners. The commission is now eu- gagged in hearing the railroad men and will not announce railroad as sessments until later. Only the short lines have been taken uo thus far It is stated that the Iron Mountain valuation as fixed by that railroad is about the same as last year. The Cotton Belt, in it's statement, shows an increase in valuation on rolling stock
 Thus far the commission has found but two new lines in the state to as sess. They are the Meto Valley rail road in LorOke county which places it's valuation at about $1 1,200 per mile and the Fort Smith, Subiaco & East ern railroad in Logan county, Which places it's valuation at about $4,00l per mile.

HARDWARE DEALERS ARE COMING
Will Be First Time the Association
 Has Met in the South.

Little Rock.-"After a hard fight Little Rock and Hot Springs get the 1911 Hardware Dealers eonYention,' read telegrams received in Little Rock from the members of the Ark ansas delegation to the meeting of the National Retail Hardware Deal- CTS Association, which has been in session in Denver, Colo, for the past few days. The Arkansas delegates were armed with pamphlets and other ammunition necessary to put up ? fight for obtaining the next hardware convention for Little Rock They won the fight and the next conven- tion of the national association will be held in this city. probably next May, it is stated.
 Hot Springs joined Little Rock ;n making the fight, and this is why all the telegrams give Hot Springs as a factor in winning the convention IL is stated that between 400 and 300 delegates from all over the United States will come to the convention in Little Rock next year

Newport-The work Of eradieating ihe Texas fever tick through the joint services of agents of the North east Arkansas Cattle Tick Commis sion and the federal department of agriculture, it is said, may be seriously hampered by a defect ill the act of 1907, which creates a board of con trol of the agricultural experiment station, which is empowered to super wise the live stock sanitary work, but does not prescribe the penalties to be imposed for attractions of the law.
 Among other powers delegated to this board under the act of 1907 is that of establishing and formulating rules in regard to isolation and quar- antine of infected animals, disinfec- tion of animals and premises, de structiOn of carcasses, etc, and the act further prescribes that any per son who, after such notification, shall fail to comply with such regulations shal! be guilty of a misdemeanof, and upon conviction thereof shall he fined in aly sum not to exceed $300 and shall be liable for damages to others due to infection from his stock"
 Cattle Owners Object.
 Many cattle owners of this section have objected to driving their stock to certain places where the tick in spedors have established sprd.5 i.s.: vals or stations, and have appealed to Prosecuting Attorney G. L. Grant for the law upon the subject, as to whether they can be penalized for failure to observe this rule of the board
 While Prosecuting Attorney Grant heartily endorses the movement to opinion that no fine could be imposed for failure to drive infected cattle to these Vats. for the rules of the board were not incorporated in the act and no committee or board has a right to enact a rule or law upon it's own mo- tion, a noncompliance of which by a citizen can subject him to a fine"
 Attorney Generals Opinion.
 An opinion received from the of flee of the attorney general upheld MT. Grant in his contention and says:
 ''We think that the leg stature has no authority to delegate to any board or commission the making of laws, rules or regulations, for violation Uf which one might he subjected to pun ishment, either by fine or imprson- ment We think that is clearly one of the powers which the people have delegated to the legislature and which the legislature is without au- thority to re-delegate. In other words, it comes under the rule Of delegatus non pro test delegare.
 Penal acts must be strictly con strued, and one of the most funda- mental rules of construction is that the act creating the offense must be plain and certain upon it's face. and must not depend upon the action of any other department of government to supply it's meaning, or make more certain and definite it's terms.
 'The legislature has no authority to delegate to the board of control the power of making laws. the violation of which is to be considered a crime.
 We think you are eminently cor rect in your opinion in this matter. 7

DECIDES IN FAVOR OF THE BANK
Receiver for Peoples Fire Insurance Company Fails to Collect S5OOO0.

Company Fails to Collect S5oo0o.
 Little ROck.-The supreme court, Tn an opinion just handed down, acquits the State National banl; of Little Rock and L. w. Cherry, president of the bank, of all charges of fraud or conspiracy in connection with the loan of $50,000 made by the bank to the Peoples Fire Insurance Company. a local company, now in the hands of the receiver, when it became neces- sary for that company to show S50, GOO paid-up capital stock in order to operate in the state The court holds that the loan was bona fide, made in the usual course of business and upon gilt-edge security. The court further holds that the evidence is not clear nor convincing. Therefore, it is held, the bank is not liable, no matter what disposition the insurance company made of the sum borrowed.
 The loan was attacked and Frank H. Dodge, receiver foi the insurance company, attempted to hold the bank for the S50,000, on the ground that the company merely secured the loan for one days time in order that it could be authorized to operate in Arkansas, and then refunded the money to the bank. It was alleged that the bank was in conspiracy with the insurance company officers to deceive the public and lead the lat ter to believe that the company had $50,000 paid-up capital stock, as re- quired by state law

THE FORDYCE CROPS ARE GOOD
While Cotton Could Be Better, Other
 Crops Show improvement.

Fordyce, Ark.-Crop conditions in this county are not as bad as re- ported.
 While there has been too much rain, it is a known fact that there was never a better prospect for q corn crop, and the hay and pastur- age could not be better than they are this year It is true that cotton is small and the stand is bad due to the late frosts, and the farmers are badly behind with their work, but should the season continue, "Old Dallas" will be able to report the greatest yield this year that she has had in many years.
 There can be seen more fine cab bage, beets, tomatoes, and beans this year than usual One head of cabbage that was cut from field where there were plenty just as good, weighed 16 1-2 pounds

THE CAPITOL FUND IS DIMINISHED
About $19o,ooo Was Drawn Out Dur
 ina the Last Quarter.

About $19o,ooo Was Drawn Out Dur
 ing the Last Quarter.
 Little Rock-The quarterly report of State Treasurer J. L. Yates, GOV, ering the months of April, May and June, which has just been given out, shows that on July l there was S20,- S29.4S in the general revenue fund and a total of $2,474, ,53O.S2 in the state treasury. The grand total how ever, includes S2,000,S00 worth of funding bonds, fund bond coupons and city and county scrip. Of the total, $471, ,541.70 is in United States currency.
 The report further shows that on July 1 there was $7,S41.84 in the pen itentiary fund. Since then this fund has been practically exhausted, a state of affairs which has not been unusual with the penitentiary fund for many months-a few short inter- vals excepted.
 One thing which brings down lne total amount of money in the treas ury is the fact that the state capitol fund is down to little more than $159, ,000. As the county collectors make their annual settlements, this amount will be greatly increased, but the increase will not make much of a permanent showing, as the fund is being drawn upon al frequent inter- vals as the construction work on the new capitol progresses. About $780, I+n1 fund during the last quarter.
 The total disbursements for the last quarter amounted to $432, ,775.92
