The Mena weekly star., 1910-05-05

OI mousse ltOm JdChoOu county, asked that the bill be laid over for two weeks until he could hear from his people, as he did not want a depository law and did not know as his people did. IL was near the end of the session and the bill was never called up by him. I had bill for Johu- son and Polk, also for Polk alone, almost the entire session in senate, and Mir. Kendall anxious for the bill for Johnson and Polk.
 Where was Logan's bill for Polk alone, or for Polk with a county where the House member of county joined with Polk wasnot opposed to? Mr. Ard of Jackson and Mir. Simpson of Scott both opposed bills Logan passed with Polk county. If he had offered such. Polk would have had a de- pository law. Probably if I had got Bill 94 for Polk and Jackson through House, as it would have had to go Senate again after my amendments, Logan would have killed bill or amended it again in Senate. Although some l knew did not want any kind of a de- pository law taking effect on its passage, theyhad said if they were me they would do Lo- gan's bills as he had done mine. 1 told them, as 1 did you, MT. Editor, when at home during this time, that 1 was not going to So act. If Logan sent me a bill from Senate to take effect when passed, 1 would pass it and would have passed his bill as l amended it to take effect at its passage if he had not had Jackson county in bill with Polk.
 Logan passed Bill No. FPS for Scott county and Simpson mem Der of House from Scott killed it by laying it over never to rise, and Scouts member and Fulton couuty's member passed bill for Scott and Fulton counties with Logan's Senate amendment to 1t, which amendment Simpson wrote me last winter had about killed the effectiveness of the bill.
 Now after all canvass es, speeches, and on John Combs motion before the county Demo cratic Central Committee on Jauu- ary 24, 1910, after Logan had left to go home from committeesmeet- ing without saying word about submitting any resolution to the committee allowing the Demo crats of. Polk county to express themselves on depository law, at the request of Mir. Combs, l wrote a resolution for Democrats to vote ar the March primary, 1910, on the question for or against depository law, and if they voted for depository law for Polk county, that the representa- tive and senator be instructed to pass such a law; and at said elec- tions the vote was almost unani- nous for such law. All this, it seems, is not enough for Logan. His pledges two years ago, his pounding Legate h his speeches all over the county for the way he had done Hamilton's depository bill, I did feel sure bound him enough to allow the good cit izenship of Polk county to have the benefit of his son, "Deposi- tory" as he claims to De the tath- CT of depository laws in Arkansas. But it seems he does not feel safe to fulfill his pledges without further tying. He states in your paper of the 10th inst that he had a resolution he wished passed by County Central Committee to tie him (and Pipkin) some more to
 his child's support.
 The committee will meet at court house in Mena on May ', 1910, at which time 1 trust the resolution will be passed for him.
 with perhaps one addition, aud that is, to not mind whose name
 is to the bill, or who introduced the bill, as Logan did say he
 thought his name or that of the
 re presentative, one or both should
 be on bill No. IS.
 | I believe we will get deposiio- ry bill at next legislature, as they
 are becoming so common ir state. I As I wrote Mir. Logan last spring, while at Little Rock, 1t is probable that people had said
