PETITIONS FILED TO
 REFER T.-J. BILL

Little Rock, Sept. 7.-So far as the people and the Secretary of State are conc erned, the fcele- orated Turner. Jacobson revenue bill has been referred. The ref. erendum petition was filed We'd nesday afternoon with the Sec retary of State by Senator Erie. dell and A. c. Henderson of Tex arkana. Tomorrow, Sept. s, is the day upon which the bill would have become effective, unless the contention of the governor and the Tax Commission be sustain ed that the bill is already in eff feet and not subject to reference. Senator Friedell began work on the petition June %, and has devoted practically all his time since then to the work of secur- ing signatures. He filed peti- tions from 51 counties, contain ing 15,045 names. Other peti. tions were received today con- taining about 5000 names, mak- ing total of 10000, when 7,573 are needed.
 Just what steps, If any, will be taken to prevent the submission of the measure does not appear. Unless he is restained by law in some manner, Secretary Hodges will at the proper time, following the provision of the enabling act, proceed to cause the question for and against the law placed upon the tickets in the various counties at the general election in September 1912. Previous to that time, the law requires that he shall cause to be published in one paper in each county the complete text of the proposed law, which, 1t has been roughly estimated, will cost about $500 each 1t will be the largest piece of legal printing ever given out in the history of the state, being more than twice h e amount ever paid at one tine for the submission of proposed a. mendments to the constitution.
