Grasshoppers Ate Five.ooIIar Bill.


+. B. Crane walked into the gov
crument office with five-dollar bill
in his hand. or rather what was left
of the bill after the grasshoppers had
got through with it. 1t was picked
up on the farm OF Potato Clark seven
miles from Parker and turned over
to Crane for redemption by the treas.
ury department.
From the manner in which the bill
was chewed up by the insects it must
have been attacked from all sides at
once. but the brigade that sailed into
the head must have had the sharpest
grasshopper teeth. for there was lit
tie left of the Indian head that once
adorned the bill. When lost 1t was

Approve Income Tax.

Senate joint resolution by Senator
Covington, providing an amendment to
the constitution authorizing the levy
of an income tax, was passed by the
senate with little opposition
Senator Covington stated that there
was a strong sentiment in the state
for such law, which was preferable
to the one proposed by congress- In
stead of a federal income tax, he
said, the people of Arkansas would
prefer a tax from which the state
instead of the general government,
would derive the benefit
The proposed amendment provides
that the general ASSEMBLY shall have
power to provide for the levy of a
tax upon the annual income of all
persons and corporations doing bus
mess in Arkansas, provided that only
so much of such income as exceeds
the sum of $4,000 shall be subject to
such tax, and provided further, that
such incomes shall be subject to tie
same rate of taxation as is now pro-
vided by the constitution of the
State.

Insurance Bill Meets Opposition.

Senator Fletcher's bill providing
for the licensing of insurance ad-
justers and for the payment of taxes
on premiums not otherwise taxed, is
meeting with considerable opposition
1t was argued before the committee
on insurance that the act would only
create a trust in the State in that
line, and that it was wrong, mas
much as it prevented persons from
getting the benefit of cheap insHr-
ance.
The Gotten men said they were OPP
posed to the bill, as they believed the
new plan would be unsatisfactory
Those favoring the bill cCntended
that it would serve to protect COM
panies doing business in the State
and who were paying taxes on the
privilege.
The bill provides that any person.
ing as adjusters of losses for fire,
life or accident insurance companies,
shall pay into the State treasury $40
per year, and that those purchasing
insurance upon any property in the
State, not regularly admitted to do
business in Arkansas, shall pay tax
of 10 per cent on all the gross prem
iums on all policies purchased. The

Has a Bill for Pure Seed.

Commissioner Fred II. Phillips OF
the Department of Agriculture says
he is preparing a bill to be presented
to the Arkansas General Assembly
requiring that nothing but pure seed
be sold in Arkansas. This bill will
be similar to the acts in force in
many other states, and aims to cor
rect the evil practiced by many deaf
ers of shipping to this state great
quantities of garden, farm and flower
seed containing many noxious weed
seeds and cracked grains. and in
many cases having but small per-
cent over half of terminating seed.
If the bill as proposed becomes a
law, dealers in seeds will have to GER
tify to the agricultural department
that their seed is pure, and where
the seed does not come up TO the re-
quired standard the dealers certify

With The Legislators
Vote Against Extending the Session.

BY vote of 1G ayes to IA noes, a
two-thirds vote being necessary for
adoption, the senate defeated the
concurrent resolution providing for
an extension of the session of the
general assembly until May TO- The
resolution was introduced by Sena-
tor White, to which an amendment
was offered by Senator Rodgers of
Benton, limiting the extended session
TO April 10, which was defeated by a
vote of is to 10. At the same time,
by a large majority, the house tabled
the Kersh resolution to extend the
session of the general assembly I'M
til April 20. Practically an entire
day was consumed in discussing the
resolution and substitutes offered as
amendments. 1t seems to be a fore
gone conclusion that the session will
have to be extended, but there is a
wide divergence of opinion as to how
long it will take to clear the calen
dar of the numerous important meas
ures pending and yet to be intro
duced. Some of the Legislators ap.
pear to be in favor of the governor
calling an extra session.

provides that every insurance com
pany doing business in any incor-
porated city shall pay to the auditor
