 STATE WIDE ISSUE
Turner-Jacobson Act And Game Law Will Probably Be
 Passed Upon.

/, Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Sept. 25.-The prohibitionists are preparing to put on foot a campaign for the submission of statewide prohi- bition to the people at the gen. eral election in 1912, under the initiative. They are undeterred by the result of the elections held in Maine and Texas, and express confidence in their abil- ity to put it through. The exec utive Committee of the Anti Saloon League has been called to meet in Little Rock Oct. 31, at which time the advisability of such a course will be consid- cred.
 The leaders of the movement are in favor of it, and point to, the fact that for the last five years the majority against li- cense, taking. the state at large, has been much larger than the majority for license. A state convention of the League will be held at that time and the question settled Less than 750O signers will be. required to initiate the vote.
 At this time there are three laws which seem likely to be ini- tiated, and others may develop later. These are the Turner-Ja- cobson revenue act, by referen- dunn, and the state game war den law and statewide prohibi- tion by initiative.
 Great interest centers upon the approaching test of the strength of the Prohibitionists and the whiskey men in Pulas- Ri county. The Three-Mile Pe- tition, which has been before the public for the last year, is set for hearing on Oct. 10, and it is believed both sides will announce ready. The petition CTS were ready last summer, ] but the others asked for more time to compare the names, and 1 protest against those who would have removed.

IMPORTANT SUIT
 IN SUPREME COURT
Vacation Days Are Over And Supreme Court Has Heavy
 Docket.


 the courts resumed operations today, except the federal courts, which do not convene until the third Monday in October. All the judges have returned from their summer vacations and are ready to begin the long legal grind
 The supreme court begins with a heavy docket of accumu- lated cases through the sum- mer, there being about 25 state cases of more or less impor- tance awaiting as speedy a de- termination as consistent with justice. Among the interesting cases that will come up for an early hearing are two affecting the liberty of prominent citi- zens. Senator CarlLee has been sentenced by Judge Hutton to six months and $500 for con- tempt, and Attorney Sid J. Hunt of Pine Bluff has been sentenced by Chancellor Martin eau to similar penalty for con- tempt in refusing to surrender the transcript in the Rhea mur- der case. Both of these cases are before the court for review.
 The supreme court will also be called upon to determine whether or not the celebrated Turner-Jacobson revenue law is in effect or not, therefore Wheth- CT it is subject to reference to tKe people under the Initiative and Referendum. Judge Mar tineau has not yet passed upon it, it will be appealed. In fact, the brief prepared by the attor- ney general for submission to the Chancellor will be filed with the higher tribunal. The case directly at isue is whether the street railway, water and gas corporations of the city shall be assessed acording to the 50 per cent valuation fixed by the Tax Commission, or according to the figures that have pre- vailed heretofore, of the asses sor's making.
 The citizens of Greene coun- ty have brought to the supreme court a case that will have an important bearing,G throughout the state. It is sought to have the formation of speciaf--school districts HndeEsstheyact of 1909 declared invalid on the ground thatNthe act itself ise unconsti- tutional. The new act conflicts seriously with the sold law re- garding the formation of com mon school districts, and those who are opposing the law con tend that no Bpecial school dis trict cah be sreated unless all the terrftsss the district ef- fected isSiaeaM&d, and all vot- CTS in thss slststsfts given an pp- portunityto express themselves.
 AK ,ther case of national i'm porltance, or interest, is that of Earl Gilchrist, the young negro under sentence of death for the murder of Will Longley, another negro, last June. The case has been appealed by his attorney, J. H. Harrod, on a number of alleged errors. There is gen. eral belief that the case will be reversed and sent back for a new trial.
