State ca pitoI Bill Doomed.

The state capitol completion bill,
passed by the house, and carrying an
appropriation of $675,000, and au-
thorizing the governor to issue inter
est.bearing notes ON the state, met its
Waterloo in the senate, with Senator
Coyington leading the opposition.
He directed his main fight against
the feature of the bill providing for
the issuance of Understanding notes,
claiming that to be only a subterfuge
to dodge the constitution, and offered
an amendment to strike that feature
from the bill. The senate being in
committee of the whole TO consider
Senator Covington's amendment, he
held the floor despite every known
parliamentary device to silence him,
and talked the oil to death on the
day before final adjournment.

CALLS A SESSION
EXTRAORDINARY
GOVERNOR NAMES SIX SPECIAL
MATTERS TO BE TAKEN UP
BY THE LEGISLATURE.
Revision of Revenue Laws Is Most
important Legislation Upon Which
the Governor Insists.

Little Rockville regular session
of the Thirty-eighth General Assem-
bly, adjourned at noon on the 18th,
and 80 minutes later Governor DON
aehey threw bomb shell into the
ranks of the unbelievers by issuing
call for an extra session to convene
at the capitol at noon on Monday,
May %.
The proclamation issued by the
governor was as follows:
Whereas, an extraordinary occa
sion has arisen which renders ii
necessary to do so, /, George W.
Donaghey, governor of the state OF
Arkansas, by virtue of the power and
authority in me vested by the consti-
tuition of the said state, do, by this
proclamation, call the General AS
sembly of the state of Arkansas to
convene at the seat of government,
the statehouse, in the city Of Little
Rock, at the hour of IL, noon, on
Monday, the 22d day of May a. d.,
1911.
AND | hereby specify the purpose
for which the General Assembly is so
convened to be as follows, to-wit:
ITO revise the revenue laws of the
state SO as to provide sufficient rev.
enue to meet the expenses of the
state government and distribute the
burdens of taxation and reduce tax
alton.
To pass an act to make effective
the constitutional amendment provid-
ing for the initiative and referendum.
To pass a law abolishing the con
yict lease system and providing for
the proper management and control
of the state penitentiary.
To make appropriations to pay
balance due the state accountants in
the rate cases OF $500, and to pay
the actual court costs, not attorneys
fees, of $4,000, for appealing the
rate cases to the supreme court of
the United States.
To make necessary provisions for
transferring the supreme court and
state treasurer's offices to the new
capitol.

tain the several departments OF the
state government and to make appro-
priations to maintain the state charity
and educational institutions, so that
said appropriations for the support of
the state government and all these ill.,
situations may not exceed the avail
able revenue for those purposes"
This indicates a rather large plo.
gram, particularly as t may mean
the reconsideration of all appropria-
ton bills as well as the deliberations
necessary to reach an agreement on
the revenue system as a whole
In addition to this, the legislature
is always at liberty to remain for u
days after they have considered the
matters set forth in a special session

Bills Laid Out on Table.

The last house day OF the session
was marked by the short route dis
patch of bills to the graveyard by
laying them out on the cooling board
without being accorded the courtesy
OF being given q formal execution on
final passage. Among the bills
tabled were the Hurst bill regulating
the signing of three-mile petitions By
requiring signers to make affidavit
regarding their eligibility. The object
OF the bill was to safeguard against
the accumulation of spurious names
on such petitions or remonstrances
against same, which the author de
clared had repeatedly occurred in
many instances. Representative
Hardage vigorously opposed the
measure, taking the position that
such a law would tend to intimidate
ignorant country people from signing
temperance petitions, and tnsinuated
that the measure was inspired by
the liquor interests of the state. This
brought Mr. Hurst to his feet on a
question of personal privilege, when
he resented the lnSlnuatIons east at
him as being a representative of the
liquor interests He said he was
ready to compare his moral or tenn
perance record with the gentleman
from Clark, and asked why the Mil
wee-Hardage bill was held back until
near the close of the session if the
gentleman was sincere in his support
OF prohibition. The bin was tabled
by vote of 90 to 80. Other bills
that went the same route were the
senate BIZ providing for the purchase
of two blocks of ground in front Of
the new CAPITOL the Lewis bill, pro-
viding for the support of an agricul-
tural correspondence school at Fay
etteville, and the Thweatt bill regu-
!ating hotel charges.
