SESSION
 ENDS AT NOON
REVENUE BILL IS PASSED
TURNER-JACOBSON BILL, HOW EVER, IS SUBJECT TO REF
 ERENDUM VOTE.

Little Rock, June 10.--The extraor- dinary session of the thirty eighth general assembly adjourned sine die at noon today, 20 days after it met, making total of 145 days for which the lawmakers have received pay this year. It is a record-breaker. There will be no, extra session, nothwith- standing the fact that the revenue bill IS not just to the liking of Governor Donaghey, and nothing was done to- ward finishing the state capitol. The house passed the Turner-J Jacob son bill Friday afternoon, revenue bill from which the emergency clauce has been stricken. That very con- siderable opposition had developed to the bill is indicated by the close vote on it, as follows:
 Ayes-Anderson, Ballard, Barrow, Black, Bradham, Brown of Cleveland, jlavelt, Davis of Columbia, Parish, 'auectte, Floyd, Garrison, Going, Iriswood, Hardage, Jackson of Ran lolph, Keith, Kerwin, Lacy, Lewis of Hampstead, Lindsey, Mccall, Martin of Cleburne, Martin of Faulkner, Meador, Moore, Mum, Pipkin, Ragon, Robinson, Roddy, Russell, Self, Smms. Stokes, Thweatt, Toler, Willcms. Wilmington, Yadon, Milwee-4l.

 Immediately after the passage of 5 the bill the house adjourned until 11:3O a. m. Saturday, and all hope for the passage of the appropriation bill for the state and office, and several other measures was lost.
 Tehre is already open discussion oi the probability that the revenue bill, by far the most important measure passed by either session, is to be sub. mitted to the people at the next gen eral election, under the initiative and referendum. The measure is revolu- tionary in it's application to the assess. ment and taxation system of the state, and it is conceded generally that it will raise the tax rate. It is pointed out that 6,900 petitioners will be sufi. ] cient to submit it, and that the corpor. ations who are hard hit by it will be | able to secure that many names in
 
 much less than the 90-day limit. As passed, there is considerable doubt ex pressed as to it's beneficial effect upon the finances of the state and of the people who pay taxes.
 That the house was finally ready to adjourn is proven by the fact that the vote for adjournment at noon today stood 65 to 5, those voting in the nega- tive being Mansfield, Robinson, Hatch cit, Simms and Stokes. The resolu- tion was offered by Baker of Inde- pendence. Many of the members, both of the house and senate, left for their homes last night, and there was barely a quorum in each house today to sing, for the second time, God Re With You Till We Meet Again"
