ndar,, to the dignity ot the sen ate even if it were certain that l am the proper presiding officer. l view of these conditions, l am perfectly willing for the old pre- siding officer to occupy the chair during the extra session, which will no doubt be a short one.
 In the Senate 28 members answered the roll-call, and Tn , he House 72 members respond ed. Others are in today. Clyde Robinson of Blytheville was sworn in, as the new mem Der from Mississippi county, sue ceeding A. c. Little. resigned.
 At D. m. the two houses met in joint session to hear the mes sage of Gov. Donaghey, which was followed by a personal ap- peal by the Governor to enact such laws as he had suggested, and thereby provide for the bet ter running of the state govern ment. The extra session was beginning with $15, 900 in the treasury, two months salaries and bills due, and about one half million dollars borrowed from the future. Somethin g had to be done. He declared that the extra session had been convened to advance no person. 1 al ambition, ''but to save the state and it's institutions from impending disaster. Speaking of the manner in which the state has been anticipating it's re- venues, a course of business that is fast leading to inevitable bankruptcy" he declared that If the members of this General Assembly shut their eyes to this alarming condition, and refuse to see, and appreciate the perils that confront us, what reason have we to expect that the mem- bers of another and different General Assembly shall do other wise?"
 Discussing the various features of the call, he said, 'the princi- pal recommendation, that 1 make is, that immediately pass a law that will increase the state s revenue.
 To this purpose he submitted a revised Bradham-Hurst bill, which had so stormy a time in the regular session. This bill was re-drawn by David A. Gates, chairman of the Tax Commission. From the original bill has been eliminated the provision for the assessment of railroad, tel egraph, telephone. express, sleeping. car and pipe lines, about one fifth of the bill in vol ume, those provisions having been enacted into law as a sep crate measure during the last days. The back tax provision is also eliminated and it is pro- vided that the county judge shall be chairman of the Board of Equalization when it sits as a Board of Appeals. A sliding scale of assessment and tax levy is provided, ranging from an ag- gregate 6 3-4 mills for this year, on an assessment of $450, 900, estimated to 2 1-2 mills on an aggregate of S1, ,250.C0, COCO. It is expected that this years assessment based on 30 per cent valuation, will be increased to a billion next year, and the levy correspondingly reduced, the assessment after this year to be on a basis of 100 per cent,
 The bill was introduced in the House as No l, by Represent ative Simms, and only one half of it read during the first after noon. The Senate attempted to do nothing the first day having adjourned immediately after the reading of the message un- til Tuesday morning. 1t is gen. erally believed that the Simms bill will pass the House, but its fate in the Senate is problemat- ical.
