Little Rock.-Chaneello J. Il. Mar
tineau has handed down his decision
in the case involving the force and
effect of the famous Turner-Jacobso
revenue act of the last legislature.
The effect of the decision Is that
the act must be referred to the peo-
pie of the state at the general election
to be held in 1912 and was not In
effect now, as contended by Governor
Donaghey and the Arkansas tax COM
mission.
The court stated that it was clearly
the intention of the legislature to per-
nit the reference of the act under the
initiative and referendum amendment
to the state constitution, as the SEN
ate refused to pass the bill with the
emergency clause, and that after the
senate so decided the house passed
the bill with the emergency clause
eliminated by the senate. The court
also stated that II was not necessary
for the legislature to pass the en-.
abling act to the initiative and refer
endum amendment, as the amendment
to the constitution was self-executing.

MOST VALUABLE OF GARDENS
1t Is Located Inside the Bank Of Eng
land and Was Once a Grave
yard.

CAS- safe as the Bank OF England"
has become almost proverb. But
recent events have shown that the
bank is not quite as safe in its
foundations as was generally sup
posed. One or two great cracks have
suddenly appeared. which necessi-
tates the help of the builder
There are many curious things
about the bank but among them how
many know that it possesses a re-
spectacle garden? It is To be found
just inside the Threadneedle street
entrance, on the left hand side.
This old-fashioned garden has
fountain in the center. graveled
paths and a couple of trees, the whole
forming a quadrangle with the bank
building running all round
Its history is a curious one. In. re-
ality this garden is the churchyard
of the vanished church of St. Christie
pher-le-Stock. which used TO stand
where the Mansion house now is.
One reason why the church was
pulled down was because it's tower
completely overlooked the bank. and
it was feared that 1t would be a dan
ger to the old Lady" If the church
was occupied by rioters.
AS the bank occupies the site of
the entire parish of Christopher-le-
Stock, It is said that any freeman
of the city can claim admission to the
old garden. But, as a matter of fact,
any one who cares to see II may do
so during business hours. and 1t is
we'll worth visit, if only for the fact
that it is the most valuable garden

Craigie were personal friends. and the
latter wrote protesting against the
treatment that the Flute of Pan had
reviewers. In response the editor
wrote in part: There is one thing
and only one thing that the omnipo-

has made good women. bad women,
clever women, silly women, selfish
