CHARGES ARE MADE
 BY MIR. LITTLE Says Money Has Been Paid Senators to Check Anti dSx Liquor Legislation
 QUITS PUBLIC LIFE
A Says He Will Leave Legislative and Will Be a Free Lance Sensat-
 fOnal Accusations.

Little Rock, Ark, May 3.-Repre- sentative Little, of Mississippi coun- ty, in tn most sensational speech of the sesion, today asserted that all Legislation is absolutely dontrolled and dictated in the Arkansas legis- lature by the Liquor Dealers Associa- ton. He asserted that this interest had bought the controlling power of the Senate but did not mention any names outright. He charged that liquor dealers influence had wide s'ramifications' and had caused the defeat of the Bradham Hurst revenue state revenue raising bill and the physical connection telephone bill, besides many other measures, as well as dictating legislation affecting the St. Francis Levee District and the State University.
 :. Little charged that one senator had told him seventeen hundred dollars had been placed in the hands of "the big four" in the Senate for the pur- pose of securing the passage of the game warden bill
 Going or Little asserted that in- teres.s opposed to the Bradhamz Hurst bill had paid fifteen hundred dollars each for sufficient number of votes in the Senate to secure it's defeat He charged that twelve hundred dol lars had been placed in Memphis in the hands of ''the big four" for the purpose of securing the defeat of the Going St. Francis levee bill.
 ' Reviewing the bribery investiea- ton following session of 1905, Little claimed that the prosecuting attor- ney, Louis Rhoton, made a reputation for disclosing corruption, but those indicted had gone scott free, that courts had been made the laughing stock, and the prosecutors who should have brought about punishment of w-ongdoers, had themselves become victims of awarice and greed.
 rToday R. L. Rogers, prosecuting Attorney, has an opportunity to i'm mortalize himself" said he, land have heard it intimated he is on the job,. that witnesses will be subpoened and surprises may be expected soon There never was greater need of courageous and able prosecutors than now, as this is probably more dis graceful legislature than that of 1905.
 Little charged that the Liquor Dealers Association, through Joe Ly- ons, a prominent Little Rock dealer, controlled enough men in the Senate to defeat any legislation objectionable to hfs interests, and ,to influence votes on any other measure.
 Little declared he was disgusted with the party which was controlled

been responsible, among other things, for the defeat of the bills for the Commission Form of Government for cities. That it's malign influence had even extended to the State University, and that the next thing to be expect ed would be that it would fasten it's fangs on the agricultural schools and the other institutions of th3 state.
 After the delivery of the speech, an order was made that 25,000 copies of it be printed for general distribution.

 Judge w. F. Kirby and James H. Harrod, of the States counsel, lis- tended to the delivering of the opin- ion and after it was over intimated am appeal would be taken. Judge Kirby is no longer one of the special counsel, attending the session as a spectator.
 Tn making his calculations, Judge Trieber stated the counsel for the railroads had contended for a straight revenue basis, while the state asked for a figuring upon the ton per mile system. He took the system asked for by the state except in the figur- ing of taxes.
 Judge Trieber stated the attorneys for the state claimed the months in 1909 take" by the railroads were the poorest as it was in time Of finan- cial panic. He stated that not only these six months, but the proceeding and following six months as we'll had been taken, 2nd the six months ob- jected Co had stood out far in the lead, showing the most profitable business, s2 If any injustice was done from the taking of this period, it was an injustice to the railroads. He al- SO stated that the contention Of the state th2t there should be no allow ance by deduction for money paid out for damages 10 life and limb, was not taken seriously by the court.
 Judge Trieber did make some al- lowances in favor Of the state. which were contested by the railroad attor- neys. He allowed $37,00O a year for earning of the Iron Mountain from stock held in the Pacific Express Company, which was not credited on the company's books He also charged the railroad with $4,5OO per annum for restaurant, saloon and lunch stand privileges t the Union Station in Little Rock which are now let out at the rate of $1 per annum. Judge Trieber held they are worth the higher figure. He also made con- siderable allowance for freights at Fort Smith and Memphis, which are marked interstate, as well as expen- ses which are charged up there who'll ly to Arkansas.
 The costs in the case arc to be borne equally by the litigants.

JUDGE TR|FBFR'S
 CAREFUL REVIEW Decides Rate Case in Favor of Cotton Belt and Iron
 Mountain GIVES HIS REASONS
State May at Some Time In Future Ask For a Reversal of
 His Decision.

Little Rock, May 3.-Before well filled court room, Judge Jecob Trleb- CT on Tuesday afternoon delivered a lengthy opinion in the rate litigation between the Iron Mountain and Cot ton Belt railroads and the Arkansas
 Railroad Commission in which the injunction granted by Judge VanDa- vanter at St. Paul, prohibiting the Commission from enforcing the two cent railroad fare and the existing
 freight tariff. was made perpetual
 Judge T'rieber retained jurisdiction in the case so that the state might at any time, when the conditions might change so the rates charged by the
 railroads would become excessive, re- view the case and ask for a reversal of the decision Tn making his de- cision Judge Trieber differed from some other Federal judges on similar points, but irf these his contention favored the state.
 Judge Trieber held that the state has the right to regulate and estab- fish rates to be charged by common carrier for exclusively intrastate freight and passenger service, even if it affects the interstate rates indirect ly, for the reason that such violat- ion comes under the police powers which the state has not yielded to the national government under the consti- tuition.
 The rates established by the state must be reasonable, according to the opinion, and the carriers as we'll as the public must be protected, so con- fiscatory rates cannot be applied. Judge Trieber holds that the carrier cannot make it's rate oppressive to those who are forced to employ their services.
 The court found that from the evil dence, the cost of handling intrastate business in Arkansas Was 210 per cent greater than handling interstate freight on the Iron Mountain, and 25O per cent on the Cotton Belt. The cost of handling local passenger ser vice on the Iron Mountain was 10 per cent greater than interstate, and the cost of intra and interstate pas senger business on the Cotton Belt is the same for the reason that the Cotton Belt through trains handle most of the local business. Judge Trieber also found the court tariff allowed 50 per cent more for the handling of intrastate business, over 
 Judge Trieber stated that all inves- tors should receive just compensa- tion upon their investment, and the same implied for railroads where they we're economically managed and built where there was public ne- ,essity for them. He placed this rate of dividend at per cent, and for the purpose of reaching the actual value 1f the railroad property and the amount they were entitled to receive interest upon. Judge Trieber took he amount the state board of rail- 'oad assessors placed upon the roads n 1909, when the litization began. Upon this valuation the court found he Iron Mountain earning 1 per cent

fish are not so discriminating as many
suppose. they do have choice as to their
food. That being the case. 1t would be
folly 10 whip a stream with scarlet
ibis, when the only insect life appearing
is black or gray in color. So, If milk
white insects are plying upon the water
II would be bootless for the angler to
select a black gnat for his equipment.
The angler must use a little judgment
IN the selection Of his battery. Having
decided upon the kind Of fly TO use. the
next thing is 10 choose the size. IN

II may seem strange, az arst, that

small that you do not care to creel them.
