IlrSC ODJecClOn, 10 Cuo elleCC CHdC Uue
Confederate veterans are wards of he
State and that the bill would come
under the general recommendation Of
the governor that the wards of the
State be cared for by appropriation.
But this is not for the wards Ct
the State, it is for the reunion as a
whole objected a senator, who OF
posed the bill.
That is a point for the Senate to
decide" said President Toney.
He then put the question as to
whether or not the veterans should
be considered wards Of the state, as
indicated in the proposed bill.
The question lost, IA to 10, and
President Toney then held the bill out
of order.
Would Adjourn Wednesday Noon,
During the morning Senator Coving-
ton introduced a resolution declaring
thai the call for the present session of
the Legislature is unwarranted by
the conditions, and that it is fer the
purpose Of fastening upon the people
Of the state an in~terest-bearing in
debtedness in connection with the
completion of he new State Capitol;
therefore, the General Assembly
should stand adjourned, sine die, at
moor Wednesday, May d.
The esolution was put to a vote
but was lost, Ii to 20.
In connection with his resolution,
Senator Covingt0n introduced a tabu-
lated statement as to the State Teye-
nues, in which he declared that. if the
increase in the next two years equal
led in percentage that of the past two
years, he general revenue with prep
er administration, would suffice with
ont a revision of the present system.
Another Bill Out of Order.
Another bill was sent up during
the morning, being a measure carry
ing an appropriation of 100000 for
furnishing and equipping the Supreme
Court chambers, library, ETC., in tia
new State Capitol. After consider
ing the bill carefully, as measured by
the wording of the governors call.
President T9ney held that it went be-
ysId the scope Of the call, as that
provided for nothing further than the
legislature should arrange "for the
removal Of the Supreme Court" from
the old I'd the new building. The
proposed bill, he said, exceeded in
some respects the provisions of the
call, and he would have to hold it out
of order.
Revenue Bill Introduced.
The only bill introduced and which
stood the test as to regularity was
that by Senators White and Friedel,
providing for an increase in the gen.

engaged in business in this city and
was ever ready to assist in the up
building OF Pine Bluff and its COM
