BACHELORS TAX
 NOT 10 BE LEVIED IS HELD OUT OF ORDER
OFFERED APPLY ING TT TO CAPT. MARTIN
 AND BARKER.

Little Rock, June Tt would be class legislation to place tax on bachelors and old maids. That was the principle upon which Speaker Mil wee ruled out of order a bill by Rep resentative Barker of Independence to levy an annual tax of $15 on unmar- ried male persons over 40 years old, and $10 year on unmarried female persons over 35 years old He provid- ed that this tax should be paid into the common school fund and prorated with other funds. Amendments were offered that the law apply only to In. dependence county, and that it apply only to Representative Martin Of Faulkner and Representative Barker of Drew Martin of Cleburne, father of II children, offered an amendment that the fathers of 10 or more be granted an annual pension. Mr. New ton declared the amendment frivolous in its intent and purpose, and the speaker held it out of order upon that score. The author, however, was St. rious and insisted that it should have been considered.

DIFFICULT TOACRFH
 ON REVENUE BILL
PROSPECTS ARE GLOOMY
FOR ITS PASSAGE, IF LEGISLA- TURF ADJOURNS SINE DIE
 SATURDAY.

Little Rock, June 7.-The revenue bill is getting into tangle, and should the legislature adjourn at noon Satur- day, as many are in favor of doing. there is only remote chance of it's passage. The fate of the measure hangs upon the amendments that are being adopted and the inability to SC cure an agreement of both houses up- on the measure as it shall finally go to the governor.
 The senate passed the Turner-Ja- cogson bill, with 12 administration amendments, and sent it to the house with the emergency clause attached. The house was already considering the Simms- Thweatt bill, carbon copy of the other, both being revised editions of the celebrated Hurst -Bradham bill. The house took up the Turner-J acob- son bill and numerous amendments were offered, then switched back to the house bill, which it has since been considering.
 The house voted down propositions to submit the bill to the people at the next general election, also to strike out the emergency clause which would permit the people to vote on it if they desire to do so. Hurst, joint author of the original bill, is fighting the pas sage of this measure, and declares that he will never support it with the emergency clause attached. Other amendments offered by him are pend ing, and if any are adopted their con- sideration will only prolong the con test in the senate, where the senti- ment has been none too kindly.

NEWSPAPERS MUST
 TRUST STATE FOR PAY
FUND FOR PUBLISHING CON- STITUTIONAL A M E N D.
 MENTS VETOED.

Little Rock, June 7.-Unless the newspapers of the state are sufficient " patriotic and trustful to come to the relief of the state, there will bs no constitutional amendments submit ted to the people at the next general election. Two resolutions providing for such amendments were passed by the legislature and signed by the gov ernor, one providing for the grand father clause in the election law, the other for the exemption of cotton fac tories from taxation for 10 years. But the governor vetoed the item of S15,- 900 to pay for the publication of these amendments, and the law prescribcd d that the proposed amendments shall be published in one paper in each county. The fee averages about S75 for each amendment, so that the total cost would be $11,250 for the two amendments in the 75 counties. Un- less thus published, the people cannot vote on them. If the secretary of state can find one paper in each coun- ty willing to publish the amendment. and take a chance on the deficiency, the amendments may be gotten before the people.

DROUTH CAUSES
 IMMENSE DAMAGE

Little Rock, June 7.-Unless there is rain in Arkansas within the next As hours, damage to the amount of over $1,000,000, and possibly many times that sum, will be done to the growing, or rapidly -shriveling crop. This i, the estimate of one of the states lead ing planters, who says great loss will be felt in the loss of crops which have already sprouted, as we'll as in cotton which has been planted but which has never shown itself above the ground The state has 400 acres of this upon it's farm. Reports from all sections oi the state indicate suffering for want of rain, and should the crop be forced to go the balance of the week without rain, and the continued hot weather be unbroken, about half the corn and cot ton crop will be a failure Section Director Alciatore, of the weather bu reau, states there is no prospect for rain in this vicinity, but he is as anX- ious as onyone that the calculations of his department be overset and rain in torrents fall The Arkansas river is slowly rising, in spite of the drouth, but this was caused by rains in Okla homa and western Arkansas, which did not extend over Arkansa gener- ally.

PROBE PREVENTS
 SENATE QUORUM

Little Rock, June 7.-The grand jury is on full blast, but the disclos- ures being made are being most zeal ously guarded. The senate was not i;l session yesterday because so many members were in attendance on the jury, and the revenue bill lost a whole day in the house, because Hurst, the author of pending amendments, was telling what he knew about the prob ity of the members. Deputy Sherll Hawkins was in the corridors of the house again Tuesday afternoon with a pocket full of subpoenaes for repre- esntatives, but the body had adjourn ed early and he did not get many of them.

THE PRINTER.


Just somehow or other, don't know Just how
Our civilization hung green on the bough
Some dozens of centuries, refused to get ripe
Until Gutenberg made the first movable tvpe
1t is strange how those versatile pieces of wood
Proceeded at once their Jobs to make GOOD
How those characters angd crossed dotted and curled
III Che hands OF the printer enlightened the world;
Spread knowledge abroad, it were on the breeze,
through highways and byways Ger mountains and SEAS
Monopoly greatest the ages has wrought
Since it owned the line for the transfer of bou0bt
yet 1t taught prince and peasant and pauper to read
And reading to think and in thinking to heed
And so assert the world never got ripe
I'LL Gutenberg made the first movable tyne
The astronomers study, historians lore,
The geographers knowledge of sea and of shore
The wisdom of sages, the epigram terse
Inc science OF numbers, the rhythm of verse;
Love tales of the ages, delightful to youth
The novelsts fiction, philosophers truth
Tales told by the genii of candle and lamp
The glory of battle the story of camp
Inc splendor and power of the great of the EARTH
The pleasure, the passion, the sorrow and dearth
All OF ife all of death since creation began
And God breathed the first breath of life into Man
Nay! even the knowledge of God and His laws
Are common to ALL and common because
Of the printer, embamer of thought and whose trade
Is due to the type DR.. Gutenberg made I,.
With his rule in his pocket, 'his foot in his hand"
This printer knight-errant roamed every land
The giants OF ignorance he knocked in the head
And set up temple to knowledge instead,
And with only 'stick" for weapon, he made
The heaven-born rulers of kingdoms afraid,
Raised Liberty up and pulled Tyranny down;
Laughed divinity out of both king and his crown.
Made lexicons, grammars and Strengthened our speech
And then by his art placed them all within reach.
Thus taking from sources of knowledge the ban
And making the savage civilized man.
An Ishmaele he since his trade had its birth
Distributing news and himself round the EARTH
troubadour, smoking, not playing his pipe
In the plan of creation, the movable type.

LIGHTNING ALMOST
GOT L. N. JOHNSON

To have a pair of plyers in his hip
pocket struck by lightning and his
trousers burned was the experience
which befell L. N. Johnson of the
Smith Implement company last even
ing. It is an experience that Mr..
Johnson, who is Familiarity known as
"Tex." does not care to have re-
peated.
During the storm last evening
Johnson and George Ness were driv-
ing in buggy near the old Mont
gomery ranch at Myrick station. Ac-
companying them was Henry Vogt,
who was horseback. During the
storm a bolt of lightning
struck telephone post near the men
and flash sought out the pair of
plyers in Johnson's hip pocket.
Aside from being badly startled, Mr..
Johnson suffered no other injury than
a brown streak along his hip pocket.

idlenes, sickness, crime and death.
DIR. Robinson laughs at the claims OF
the disciples OF Roosevelt. that people
will stop having children. and In half
a century the race will die out. This.
he says, is a groundless fear and a
silly calumny on the human race.
THE parental instinct" DR. Robin
son says, rs a pretty strong instinct.
The parents are rare indeed who do
not wish 10 have at least one or two
children. Those who have seen the
anguish OF some wives who have re-
mained childless will not share the
fear that when the knowledge OF the
means OF prevention OF large families
has became common property, the race
was died ont. No. There will be few

into the world with pleasure and hope
