COMMISSION FORM
 FOR PINE BLUFF
Next Legislature Will Be Asked to Permit Cities of First Class to Be Governed By the
 Commission.

Little Rock, Feb. 1.-Assistant At- torney General Rector yesterday af- ternoon rendered an opinion regard ing the powers of the legislature to pass an act which will allow cities of the state to govern themselves through the commission form of gov ernment
 The inquiry came from Hot Springs, and the opinion is long one. It holds that the constitution does not take from the legislature the right to pass general acts for the benefit of cities, and for their government, but does not permit the legislatures to pass special acts for one town alone.
 With the rendering of this decision it is probable the next legislature will be asked to pass a law which will permit cities of the first class to 3e governed by commission.

SAYS ARKANSAS
 OWES UNCLE SAM
Debt of Sl15,000 Growing Out Of State Guard shipment, still On Books at Washington special Legisla-
 ton Will Relieve II.

Little Rock, Feb. 1.-I'rom the time arms and uniforms were issued to the Arkansas National Guard for use by the companies which enlisted for service in the Spanish-American war, until about two years ago, the War Department charged the Guard with everything issued to it without a credit for the guns returned or the
 supplies which were worn out in service Consequently the Arkansas National Guard became heavy deb- tor of Uncle Sam and the debt still hangs over the Guard.
 The laws which govern the mili- tia of the United States will allow the Secretary of War to make set dement's with the state guards and wipe out the deficit, but in this in stance, after a board of survey had gone over the supplies of the Guard, the Secretary of War decided the amount too large for him to deal with, so he declined to relieve Ar kansas of the heavy debt.
 The War Department has the Ar kansas National Guard charged with over $115,000 in guns and other equipment which has long since ceas- ed to be a possession of the Guard. To get rid of this old claim, Adjutant General B. w. Green has drafted a bill which will be sent to one of the Arkansas congressman, for consider ation by the national law making body, relieving Arkansas of the o6li- gation.
 It is hoped to have the bill passed during this term of Congress. so Ar kansas can start again with a clean slate. All old supplies now are de- stroyed after being viewed by a board of survey. the Secretary of War approving the reports on the small amounts.
