DISCRIMINATION
 IN EXPRESS RATES
NORWOOD SAYS ARKANSAS SHIP. PIERS ARE NOT GIVEN A
 SQUARE DEAL.
Nine Compa nies Made Defendants in Suit Filed With Interstate
 Commerce Commission.

Little Rock.-The complaint of At. torney General Norwood against cer- tain express companies making ship ments to and from Arkansas, in which 1t is alleged that excessive and un- reasonable rates are charged ship pers, was filed before the interstate commerce commission at Washington. The express companies included in the complaint will have 20 days in which to file an answer, after winch the commission will name the time and place for hearing Mr. Nor wood stated that he did not know whether he would be able to appear before the commission. He is assisted in the case by Luther Walter, special counsel for the interstate commerce commission.
 In his complaint Attorney General Norwood stated that discriminatory rates are made by the Adams EX- press Company, American Express Company, Great Northern Express Company, Northern Express Company Pacific Express Company. Southern lAAPlCoo NoiHpiHy, bHtttu otdlcS press Company, Wells-Fargo Express Company and Western Express Com. pany. between points in Arkansas and points in other states, and on ship ments made from other states to Ar kansas. The complaint specially sets out the express rates charged upon fruits and vegetables shipped from Arkansas points, upon which reduc- tions are asked. Suits by the states of Oklahoma, Kansas and Indiana were submitted at the same time that the Arkansas case was submitted.
 The complaint sets out the express rate between more than 100 points in Arkansas and the principal cities and markets of other states, and alleges that the rates and charges as set forth and the classification and ex- captions applicable thereto are unjust, unreasonable and in violation of sec ton 1 of the act to regulate com. merce; that said rates are unjustly discriminatory between shippers To- cated in Arkansas and shippers To- cated in other states of the United States, shipping to the same destina' tion, in violation of sections and of the act to regulate commerce.

New Inheritance Law.

The recent attack on the inheri- tance tax law by the administrators of the Sparks estate in Fort Smith, in which the constitutionality of the act of 1907 was questioned, recalls the fact that the last general assem- ply enacted new law regulating the collection of inheritance taxes, repeal ing the act of 1907 and curing all the defects pointed out in the attack made by counsel for the Sparks heirs. Even had the supreme court held the act of 1907 unconstitutional, it would not have affected the levy and collec- ton of taxes on inheritance as pro- vided for under the new law How ever, the court sustained the old law, and in doing so saved the state a con- siderable revenue eollectible from the Sparks estate. The new law was drawn by Attorney General Norwood. It's language is concise and it is be. lieved leaves no ground for attack as to it's eonstitutionality Moreover, whereas the old law exempted from the operation of the inheritance tax all that portion of bequests of the third class, that is, to strangers, in excess of '$50,0 ,000, the new law makes no such exemptions. The entire es- tate is taxed.

Real Money in General Fund.

It was announced that the state treasurer has taken up all the out standing warrants against the general revenue fund held by the local banks and that there is a balance of about $l3,000 on hand. It is explained, however, that there are probably a number of outstanding warrants scat tered over the state that will come in from time to time. Owing to the fact that the legislature issued a distress call in April for collectors to pay collections In advance and to the fact that settlements are being made rapidly just now, it is estimated that about one-third of the collections that go to the general revenue fund have been paid in. Only about one fifth of the collections due other funds have been paid. The various county courts approve the statements of the collectors of the various coun. ties in July, but adjournment of court is sometimes taken until Au- gust without taking action on the col lectors' statement. The collectors then have 15 days in which to make settlement with the state and it is sometimes as late as September be. fore all the taxes come in. The great. est part of money due the state gen. erally gets into the treasury before July 20.

10 CENTS A VOTE
 IS THE NEW PRICE
MOST DRASTIC CAMPAIGN PUB LiCiTY LEGISLATION IN THE
 HISTORY OF CONGRESS.
Measure Applies Net Only to Ex' penses, but Also to Contributions
 and Promises of Political Jobs.

Washington.-The most drastic cam paign publicity legislation ever passed in either branch of congress was adopted by the senate, practically without a dissenting vote. Using the prediction publicity bill passed by the house as basis, the senate con- structed proposed law with the fol- lowing important features:
 No candidate for the senate or house shall spend in the election more than a sum equal to 10c for each voter in his district or state.
 No senatorial candidate shall spend total of more than $10,000 in the primary and general election, and no candidate for the house shall spend more than 5000.
 Publicity must be given to all pri- mary campaign contributions and ex- penses
 All general election expenses must be made public before the election, beginning 15 days before election and making publication each six days un- til election
 All promises of political jobs must be made public. The bill further makes it illegal to promise political places to secure election support or to aid in the election of any member of state legislature
 The bill will be the subject of pro longed conference between the two houses. It originated in the house as part of the Democratic legislative program and was designed to require the publication of expenses before election, which is not required by the l existing publicity law. The Republicans in the house un successfully attempted to extend the bill to cover primary election ex penses. In the senate, the primary election amendment, coupled with more radical amendments, were adopt ed with little opposition.

Present Debts wIl DepIese Fina nces.

Present Debts Will Deplete Fina nces.
 It now appears that there will be little left out of the present years collection of the state capitol tax, after the debts of that fund are paid. Whether the collection of taxes pro- ceeds under the present law or the Turner-Jacobson measure, the total collection for the year will be less than $200,000, and it is reported that the warrants outstanding against the fund will almost take up this amount. At the beginning of the year there was nearly $l00,00O outstanding against the fund, and this, it is un. derstood, was largely exclusive of the S75,000 deficit which was cured by an act of the last legislature. It was at first intended that this $75000 be paid out of the general revenue fund, but the legislature finally decreed that as 1t is state capitol obligation, it should be paid out of the state capi- tol fund. Combined with the war rants outstanding under the old con- tract, this would virtually take up the capitol tax for the current year. At any rate, it is not believed the income from the tax for the year would more than offset the present obligations and provide for the removal of the supreme court and the treasurer's s office, this removal being authorized under an act appropriating $30,0 ,000 from the capitol fund to provide for fitting up the two departments in working order.
