NORWOOD HITS BuLL's-EyE.

Attorney General Norwood has
started movement that will have
mighty little opposition among the
voters of Arkansas. In fact, it is
doubtful if any question of state
wide interest has come up in years
that has been so universally pop
ular as this will be.
MFR. Norwood has, ii will be re-
membered, never evinced much lik-
ing for the initiative and referen-
dum-and who could blame him,
when the kind of bill offered to
Arkansas voters is considered but
he is actively engaged in using that
law TO do away with the incentive
of the average legislator and poll
tician to prolong the sessions Of the
general assembly unnecessarily.
The measure he proposes that the
people shall vote on embodies these
features.
An increase Of pay from So to Sc
per day for a 60-day session, with
out pay for extensions.
For extra sessions, SO per day,
with no pay beyond that period.
Mr.. Norwood asserts that he be-
lieves this measure will save the
taxpayers Si35,000 biennially. and
put an end to the passage of a vast
number of purely local laws.
