Lower Electric Rates Asked.

Petitions requesting the city COM
missioners to take steps to bring
about a lower rate for electric power
to consumers in Minot have been pre-
scented to that body on which action
will be taken soon. 1t is contended
that the city rates should be in con-
formity with a report recently made
to the commission by a special COM
mittee appointed to investigate the
actuel cost of production. The move
ment for lower rates is founded on
the new state law giving city govern
ing bodies the power of fixing rates

Effective means we're adopted by

Would Limit Session to 100 Days.

Contending that the passage Of such
"a measure would save the state $685.
600 on each session of the Legislature.
Mr.. Glover of Hot Spring county
introduced In the house a joint resc-
luton providing for a constitutional
amendment limiting the biennial ses-
sion of the legislature to 100 days,
without the privilege of extension by
the legislature itself.
Under the present law the constitu-
tonal limit is sixty days, but the
legislature has the right to extend
this to any length, and for the past
several years the extension has been
for sixty days additional, or a 100
day session.
With a 100-day limit and no power
to extend, Mr.. Glover urges that the
legislature would complete its work
within that time, instead of contin-
uing for period of 120 days.
In case of need for more time than
100 days the resolution still provides
that the governor shall have power,
as he now has, to call the legislature
in extra session.

With The Legislators
Amend the Drainage Laws.

Two important bills affecting the
system of land reclamation in eastern
Arkansas have been passed by the
house. Both amend the general
drainage laws, the first being that by
Senator Clerget, giving the commits
sioners of a drainage district or the
county court the right to increase
the drainage tax levy of the district
in case it becomes apparent that the
revenues are not sufficient without
such raise to meet the demands and
hest interests of the district. The
other was by Senator Turner, and so
amends the law pertaining to the Gre
alton of drainage districts as to give
the county court the right to form
drainage district upon the petition OF
three or more land owners residing in
the affected district. The work may
then be carried on to completion, un-
less stopped by counter petition OF
a majority of the property owners of
the district protesting against it. In
der the present law it requires ma.
iority of the land owners of the dis
trict affected to initiate the creation
of a district by petition to the county
court. The new plan makes the Gre
alton of districts much easier. Sew
eral counties, including ,Craighead
and Crittenden, were exempted from
the provisions of the measure.
