300 BLIND MEN
TO E SIGHTS

New York, April 25.-A call for vol
~unteers to guide three hundred blind
men ON Sightseeing tours around
New York city this week has been
sent out by the hospitality committee
of the Blind Workers Exhibition,
which President Taft will open at
the Metropolitan Opera House on
Wednesday evening.
Paid guides have been engaged to
accompany the blind workers to and
from the hotels and the exhibition
at the opera house, but volunteers, are
wanted to go about with the visitors
on tours of the city, explaining to
them the sight they are denied see
ing. Through the city's q and
clamor, and through other things
which appeal to the sense Of hear
ing, smell or touch, it is believed the
sightless will get as comprehensive
an idea OF New York as many do
who visit the city with their eyes
open.

Little Rock, April 26.-For two
hours Monday afternoon the House
listened to a recounting of the politi-
cal troubles OF Lonoke county. It
all came up over a bill by Mr.. Clarke
to increase the salary of the county
judge from $1,000 to $1,000 a year.
The bill was, championed by Mr..
Clarke. and was opposed by his col
league, Mr.. Newton, who asserted
that the people of the county are
opposed to it. Many bitter things
were said by both OF them, some of
their remarks being OF a very acri-
monious nature, concerning their
mutual integrity and the extent to
which each truly represents the in
terests Of the county. Mr.. Newton
made some remarks to which Mr..
Clarke replied with vehemence that
his colleagues statements were
t~abricattons, Misrepresentation. false
hoods, lies. Mr.. Newton asserted that

OPPOSITION TO
THE FREE BRIDGE
John NJ. Oracle Says Recent Act
Places No Limit OH Debt That
May BE Incurred.

John M. Oracle, the Jefferson
county planter was in Little Rock
last night on business and reports
that the heavy rains have put more
water into the country around the
locality of his plantations than has
ever before been known a y the
Little Rock Gazette He reported IL
successful trial of his new pumping
station at his rice field at New Cas-
cony. Owing to the increase in
acreage for rice cultivation this year
Mr.. Oracle was compelled to install
an additional pumping plant and it
is Of this pump that the first trial
was recently had. The trial was
very successful as the well showed
a capacity of 1900 to 1900 gallons
per minute.
In discussing general conditions in
Jefferson county, Mr.. Oracle stated
that the free bridge act recently
passed by the legislature On April Is
has caused more excitement and feel
ing than anything that has happened
in Jefferson county since the passage
OF the Plum Bayou drainage act in
1909. In discussing the bridge act
Mr.. Oracle stated that those opposing
the building of the bridge, among
which number he is, were fighting
the proposition for the reason that
the proposed bond issue of$1 900, 900
for 80 years at six per cent would
place an incumbrance on all property
in the county of about II 1-2 per
cent Of its assessed value, the as
sessed value of all real estate in
Jefferson county being $S,030,510, and
that there would have, to be levied
an annual tax of 1 IL per cent on
the real estate assessment in the
county to raise d sufficient amount
for interest, $50 900 maintenance
$4,000 and a sinking fund of s33, 900,
the total of which would be $113, 900
per year Or in other words, that the
property owners of jefferson county
would be compelled to pay SIS per
thousand additional tax upon their
real estate during the life of these
bonds, and that under a fair assess
ment of benefits by the assessors of
the district the tax in Pine Bluff
would amount to 3 per cent per year,
which would nearly double the
amount of the present taxation.
He stated that the Taxpayers Pro-
tective Association Of Jefferson coun.
ty is making a determined fight
against the building Of the bridge.
and that he was advised that many
OF the large property owners in Pine
Bluff were opposed to the building
of the bridge and are assisting the
association in its endeavor to defeat
the effect Of the act Of the legisla-
ture. He stated the primary objec
tom to the bill was caused for the
reason that there is no limitation to
the Indebtedness which may be in
CURED in building the bridge and no
provision whatsoever for any ccoun
ing by the board of the taxpayers
of the county.

it was appropriated. The bill, which
carries, $42S, 900, was then passed,
without amendment, and goes to the
Governor for his approval. It was
generally understood that the House
would not concur in the amendment,
and the Senate receded rather than
further delay the passage of the bill.
The Senate passed "a bill a%ppropri-
ating $4,000 for the purpose of feed
stuffs. The House passed the bill
appropriating $S5,O0O for the support
OF the tuberculosis sanitorium, with
the provision that half the cost of
the patients is taxed back to the
county from which they come.
The Senate returned to the House
with the statement that it was out
of order so far as the Senate was
concerned, the resolution offered by
Mr.. Little providing for the appoint
ment of a joint committee Of three
from the House and two from the
Senate for the purpose of making an
investigation of the expenditure of
the contingent fund. The Senate
opposed it as a body, calling it cheap
politics, and asserting that each
house Is the Judge of it's own ex-
penditures.
Out of Order
"A resolution offered by Senator
Christian for the appropriation OF rs
cents to purchase a pruning knife for
the governor to cut down the appro-
priations to fit the revenues, was. de-
clared out Of order.
A communication from Judge JOS M.
HILL was read in both houses, thank
ing the Legislature for the adoption
of a resolution endorsing him for the
federal tudgeship Of the WESTERN
District, and adding. while I shall
not personally seek this position, or
apply to the President for it. yet in
view Of this splendid endorsement
and many other spontaneous express
sions from the people Of the state
and the congenial nature of the
work, I would not decline it should
the President in this instance, as he
has in others, pass his party lines
and select me for It,"
The House passed, after a sharp
debate in which there was much wav-
ing of the bloody shirt. a resolution
by Russell, the Republican member
from Carroll, permitting the G. A. r.
to erect on the capitol grounds with
out expense to the state a monument
to the 5000 Union soldiers who came
fnom Arkansas. The vote was 81 to
10.
