STATE WIDE BILL
| PASSES THE HOUSE
Half Mill Tax for Agricultural
Schools Postponed-Town Cow
Bill and Reunion Appro-
prIation Considered.

Little Rock, April 5.-Tf the Sen
ate follows the Houses lead the
voters of Arkansas will have a
chance in September, 1912, to say
whether or not they want state
wide prohibition in Arkansas. The
Kersh bill providing for the sub
mission of the liquor question to
the voters at the next general cleo
ton was passed by a vote OF Sc to
is Monday afternoon, opposition to
the measure coming, of course.
from the counties in which pro-
hibition is not now effective.
In addition to voting on the ques-
ton of submission the ballot will
contain the clause, For license or
against license so that should
submission fail the counties will
still be protected if now dry by
the license vote.
Support of Agricultural Schools.
As a final disposition of the SEN
ate bill providing for a half mill
levy for the support of the four
state agricultural schools, the
house last afternoon postponed the
bill for two weeks, or until the
senate takes some action on the
Hurst Bradham revenue bill. This
was on a motion by Newton of Lo-
noke, who said il would be unwise
for the house to consider the
measure, much less pass it, before
it was determined what the plan of
assessment for the next two years
is to be.
Glover, who opposed the bill in
toto, declared that if the Hurst
Bradham bill was passed, the pro-
posed half mill levy would raise a
million dollars in taxes for the
four agricultural schools. Hatch
EFT also said he saw no reason for
any special levy, and Parker added
his OPPOSITION to the measure on
general principles of unnecessarily
increased taxation. Self of Craig
head thought it would at least be
wise to defer action in line with the
Newton motion. Bellamy spoke in
advocacy of the bill and against
any postponement, but the motion
to postpone was carried.
Country Stock in City Pounds.
There was a variety of debate
precitated over the senate bill
amending the. present stock law
relative to impounding so as to in
clude stock of persons living out
side cities as well as those residing
In the cities.
Those opposing the bill insisted
that the city man" has no right to
have the stock of his country
neighbor impounded, merely be-
cause such stock might chance to
stray upon the city mans premises
by night and despoil them according
to the latest fashion. Wilmington,
Grant and others painted dark pic
lures of selfishness and attributed
them to the members who would
make the man living in the country
keep up his stock or pay pouad
fees. Simms, Kerwin and others
came back with powerful argu-
ments based on the city beautiful
idea, and declared that any man
who exercised the American right
of letting his hogs and chickens and
cattle live off the crops and yard
flowers of his neighbor ought to be
willing to pay for the fun.
The bill was finally referred TO
the judiciary committee, on mo-
ton by Hardage, as substitute to
the motion by Bradham to table
tbe bill.
Reunion Appropriation.
Jones of Pulaski called up the
senate measure providing for an
appropriation of $4,000 to aid Lit

Wheeler Says He Will Show Them.
Columbus, O., Sept 29.-Between
now and the first Of the year there
will be numerous local option cleo
tions in Ohio. The three years limit
provided by the Rose law expired in
Meigs and Warren counties this
week, and before December IS
will expire in SO other counties that
voted dry in 1908. Each one of
these counties will have an election,
provided the vets are able to muster
the necessary number of names 10
a petition calling for it,
OF the IS counties in Ohio, 81 are
dry and 26 wet. OF the 62 dry coun-
ties 81 were voted dry under the
Rose county option law, whie the
other five were voted dry under the
old Beal law. Twelve counties voted
wet under the Rose law, while no at
tempt has been made to hold cleo
tons in the other IA wet counties.
About 200 of the 1871 townships
of the state. are dry. The cry area
comprises 1884 square miles and
the wet area 4,106 square miles. The
population Of the dry area is 2650,00
and the population of the wet area
2,117,121.
Revenues Show Decrease.
AS a result of county option there
has been a marked falling off in pup-
lie revenues. On July l. 1911, there
were 402 saloons in the state and
at 1000 each they paid approximate
ly $7,400,000 in saloon tax INTO the
public treasures. On July /, 1908,
before the Rose county option law
went into effect, there were 1881 sa-
looms in the state and they paid, dur
ing the year ending then, $S,S04,111.
Literature being put out by the
Anti-Saloon league attempts to show
that the tax rate is lower in ory
counties than in wet, due largely to
the fact that the expenses of govern
ment are less.
State leaders Of the wet forces are
predicting that a number of the
counties now dry will go hack to the
wet column in the elections this fall
To this claim Wayne B. Wheeler,
state superintendent of the Anti-Sa
loon league, replies For every dry
county we lose to the wets, wen
make dry county out of one that
is now wet"

CRUELTY
To Children Still Continues
At Utica
utica Heraldl


The Herald has received thanks
from various sources for having taken
up the matter of the harsh treatment
OF littel child on North street. The
woman complained of, however, has
not properly accepted the warning,
and the matter will be placed in the
hands of officers If the cruelty is not
discontinued now.
Last Friday evening two profession
al men and their respective wives, and
the wife of an official were passing on
the opposite side of the street from the
woman's home, when they heard a
beating, and they stopped. The little
girl conld be heard pleading, and the
sound of blows could be heard for a
long time, stopping for an interval
supposed to be for the resting OF the
arm in use. While these parties were
listening, neighbor was seen to go
to the front of the house and shout
Stop beating that child" In mo-
ment the noise ceased and the light
in the room was extinguished. Another
person says that during that beating
the child cried, "Oh, mama, don't whip
me any more; let papa whip me-" The
universal statement of the neighbors
is that the child is one of the best-be-
haVed and sweetest they have ever
known. She was taken from an or
phans' home at Columbus.

SALE
Of Red Cross Stamps Not To
Be Abolished

mot only will the sale Of Red Cross
Christmas Seals be continued this
year, but it will be carried on along
broader lines, and will be larger and
more comprehensive than ever be-
fore" says DR.. Livingston Farrand,
executive secretary of the National
Association of the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis, in statement
issued today by the press bureau OF
that organization
DIR. Farrand denies absolutely the
statements which have appeared re-
Gently to the effect that Postmaster
General Hitchcock had forbidden the
sale of Red Cross seals. mo official
order has been issued on this mat
ter" says DR.. Farrand "On July 1st
the post office department decided that
they could no longer carry mail mat
ter which bore stamps or seals re-
sembling postage stamps. Our design
of the Red Cross seal, however, has
been approved definitely by Postmast-
er General Hitchcock and the depart
ment, and it does not come within the
prohibitions of this order of July LIST.
It hardly looks as il we were going to
abandon the sale, when we have al
ready placed orders for the printing
of 50,O00,000 seals and for large guam
titles of advertising matter.
1.-THE Red Cross seal this year will
be from new design, drawn by an
artist in Washington, d. G. Every
effort has been made to get as far
away from the conventional design OF
stamps and seals as possible. The
new seal will depict very pretty win
ter scene. In the lower right hand
corner will appear snow-covered
house with pine tree, also snow-cov
cred, in the foreground. The scene is
at night and the windows are light
ed. In the background are trees and
snow-capped hills. In the upper left
hand corner will appear a small read
cross. The entire design Is enclosed
with heavy red circle. The year
is expressed in Roman numerals. The
only other words on the seal are
American Red Cross, Merry Christ
mas, Happy New Year" The corners
of the seal, which win be square, are
in white, thus giving the effect of I
circular seal when it is affixed to let
ters and packages.
