GOVERNOR SCORES
CORRUPT S0L0NS
HISTORY OF REVENUE BILL
DONAGHEY DENOUNCES SENA-
TORS, DECLARING MAORI
TY WERE BAD.

Little Rock, Aug. 28.-In an inter-
view given out today by Governor G.
w. Donaghey upon the efforts which
are being made to refer the Turner
Jacobson revenue bill to the people
under the referendum, the chief exec
utive of Arkansas severely arraigns
the members of the last legislature, in
timating the members of the senate
did not act for the interests of the
people while they were in Little Rock
the first half of the year.
Speaking of the states financial
affairs" said Governor Donaghey,
"the situation is extreme. There is,
and has existed for some time, an
emergency. An emergency session of
the legislature was called to remedy
this situation. A law was enacted by
the legislature in response to this
emergency call. That law is the Tur-
ner-Jacobson. It's enemies now want
to delay it's action for year or more
under the pretense of wanting the
principle of the referendum applied to
it. Now, if was paid police, stand
! ing on guard, and saw burglar TAX
ing off my employers property, would
| wait until the grand jury meets be-
fore giving the alarm? Or, if / am
hired to farmer to look after his in
terests during his absence from home,
and | find lot of breechy stock eat
ing up his crop, shall l wait for his
return before driving them out of the
field? The originator of the initiative
and referendum provided for this
principle, and in every country under
the sun where it has been used, the
emergency clause has been made part
of it.
"But traitorous legislatures, which
are jealous of their own power, which
the initiative and referendum docs re-
strict, are ever on the lookout for a
chance to stab this enemy to their
double dealing methods. SO when
bills are passed which they do not
want the people to vote on, they in
variably attach the emergency clause,
but when laws the people demann are
forced through their bodies and
against their will, and when the in
terests' are against said laws, the leg
islatures porcelain their approval of
the initiative and referendum and re-
fer such matters to the people to be
voted upon. This gives the interests
another chance to defeat the laws
which people demand. For instance,
at the last session of our legislature
were measures passed that did not
have the emergency clause attached to
them. Our legislature passed hun
dreds of bill, including both local and
general, but out of all these, | think
there were only two which they were
willing to trust to the people to be
voted on. These were the Turner
Jacobson bill and the bill providing

STATE NORMAL'S
BRIGHT PROSPECTS

President J. J. Doyne is delighted
with the prospects for large attend
ance at the State Normal School at
the fourth session, which will begin
September Is. Many of the under
graduate students of last session have
written that they expect to continue
their work in the Normal during the
coming session, while large number
of new students have already for
warded their appointments and appli-
cations for admission. President
Doyne is also in daily receipt of in
quiries and requests for copies of the
catalogue of the school.

for heating the capitol during the ses-
sion of the legislature. The legisla-
ture was willing for the people to vote
on the law appropriating money to
pay for warming them all winter af-
ter they had made use of it until
summer came and adjournment was
forced.
''If the Turner-J acobson bill had
not offered more fruit for the pro.
motors, it is probable these promoters
would have spent their efforts in try
ing to refer the heating bill. But why
could not the legislature let the peo-
pie vote on the 100000 appropriation
that it spent for it's own use, half of
which was wantonly wasten? A
hundred or more other important
matters which the people would have
quickly referred were shut away from
them by the use of the emergency.
Now, practically the same bill as the
Turner-J Jacobson measure, after hav-
ing been studied for three months by
the judiciary committee of the house.
and all the Objectionable features
was passed by the house
with only seven dissenting votes, but
when it reached the senate there was
loud objection. Objections from SEN
ators who had never taken pains to
read the bill. All they knew about it
was that they were opposed to it.
Many suspicious were rumored and it
grew so intense it was openly charged
on the floor of the house that sena-
tor had been offered and refused ST.
500 to vote against the bill. Now was
it the small taxpayer that was using
the money to defeat this bill providing
for just equalization of the burdens
of taxation, or was it the farmer that
was putting up the money to have it
done? While the emergency clause
was not attached to the Turner-Jacob-
son bill, the legislature did not order
it referred to the people-it could not
have done that, for majority of it's
members were against reference.
"The house recognized the demand
for equalization in taxation, as well
as demand for immediate relief of the
geenral revenue fund, for which the
Turner-J acobson bill was in part de-
signed. The senate needed not the
necessity of the state. Many of its
members held their meetings at the
Hotel Marion. After such meetings
they repaired to the senate chamber,
for only brief periods. They would
then adjourn and go back to the Ho-
tel Marion, presumably for further
consultation and for orders. After
weeks of such conduct the senate re-
fused to pass the Turner-Jacobson bill
with the emergency clause attached.
The house wanted the emergency
clause attached to it. 1t voted to have
it done. Now let me ask the people of
the state which body of the legsla-
ture, in their judgment, do they think
served them with the greatest fidelity,
the house or the senate? In the mat
ter of the Turner-Jacobson bill they
have the choice of leaders, the house
or the senate. AS for my part, pro-
pose to follow the house. There were
good men in the senate, but in my
judgment they were in the minority.
In the house l believe the good men
were greatly in the majority"
