RANEY MAKES REPORT
At The Journals Request, he Tells Experiences in Recent Ses-
 sion of Legislature
Newark, Ark, May E, 1911 ! IN (t.... l., ] I--fINi

Newark, Ark, May b, 1911 MT. 0. F. Craig, Editor The Journal,
 Newark, Arkansas.
 Dear Sir In reply to yours ask ing me for report of my experi- enee in the 38th General Assembly I have the following to submit. There were about four hundred laws enacted by the legislature and was the author of eight of them as follows:
 Senate bill No. IS. "A general law providing that the Governor appoint an art commission to serve without pay whose duty 1t is to ac- cept such works of art and statu- ary as IS suitable for the new State House and grounds. This was ask ed for by the Governor in his mes sage to the legislature.
 Senate bill No. loo. "A local bilB Making 1t unlawful to sell or manu- facture whiskey in Stone county.
 Senate bill No. lila general bilB Providing that all persons who sell liquor must have a license from the county court of the county in which the whiskey Is sold. Previ- ously disGllers have had the right to sell in packages of five gallons or more without license. Under this law the distillers will have to get license the same as any saloon man. Since all the distilleries are situated in the hill counties of the state where no license can be ob- tained 1t will not be possible to sell. The attorney general has Constru- cd this law and announced that a distilIer can not ship whiskey out of the state as the place where the business Is keptis the place of sale. There are about eighteen distillers in Arkansas who put up stubborn fight on this bill. This was the on- ly general law passed by the legis- laturc affecting the liquor traffic and the temperance people of the have written me several nice let ters expressing their appreciation of this bill, as 1t practically brings to an end the manufacture of whiskey in the state The Whiskey interests tned to get the Governor 10 veto this bill but 1 had the pleas ure of having the bill signed with my pen which 1 expect to keep as a memento of this hard fight and pleasant victory.

ROAD IMP MOVEMENT
Important Matter That Our Coun- ty is Handling in a Host
 Practical Manner

While it may be said that there IS and has been quite a good deal of money wasted on the public roads of Independence county, yet our county enjoys the undisputed distinction of having better roads and more steel bridges than any county in North Arkansas.
 We are working the county con- viets on the roads to good advan- tagc. This, however, has only been done during the last two years, notwithstanding the fact that such a law has been on the statute books for thirty years.
 We also have a new system of oyerseers reports, whereby a close check can be kept upon the over seers, and unless they falsify their reports under oath, 1t is impossible for them to get more money than the work IS worth, unless eSpeci- ally favored by the county judge.
 We have more restrictions plac- ed around the oyerSeers and their work than ever before, and 1t is a safe prediction that Independence county IS going to make rapid strides in practical good roads building in the next few years.
 We have some of the strongest and by far the best steel bridges in the whole state, which are the equal of any road bridges in the South. Our county can claim the distinction of having the longest and heaviest reinforced concrete bridge in the state, with the possible exception of Pulaski and Sebas- tian counties.
 Many of the most important re- forms and forward movements in the good roads cause in this coun- ty are inoyations made by Judge Gull. L. Pearce during his brief but active term in office, and we are pleased to note that his successor, Judge A. J. Craig, is wisely con- tinuing the policies put into effect by his competent and active prede- cessor in office.
 If our county continues to make the rapid progress in road and bridge building that was made during Judge Pearce's brief ad- ministration, we will, within few years, have a system of good roads throughout the county that our people may well feel proud of.
 Good roads benefit all classes of our citizenship, and all should take a greater interest in any move ment calculated to give us better roads and bridges.

STATE CAPITOL GOSSIP
Legislature Adjourns and is Call- cd by the Governor to Re-
 Assemble on May P
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
 Little Rock, May 17.-The legis- lature is taking a recess for the Reunion, which is this week put ting Little Rock big on the map of the universe.
 The regular session was pro- ductive of more local legislation than anything else. There were HIS bills introduced during the session, 579 in the senate and 539| in the house; and of these, 280I were enacted into law
 The governor will veto all the appropriation bills passed by the regular session, giving free rein for the extra session to begin all over again and provide more eco- nomicaI budgets for the various institutions as well as the state government. It has been suggest ed that even the agricultural schools may be closed for the next two years to enable the state to catch up and get some new system of revenue started. That item would save the state $150,000 a year. It IS expected that there will be an enforced retrenchment wherever possible, in order to make the garment fit the cloth"
 The subjects specified in the governors call to be considered at the extraordinary session which he has called to convene on Monday, May P, are as follows
 To revise the revenue laws of the state so as to provide sufficient revenue to meet the expenses of the state government and dis tribute the burdens of government and reduce taxation.
 To pass an act making effective the constitutional amendment pro- viding for the initiative and refer endum.
 To pass q law ab0lishing the con- vict lease system and providing for the proper management and con- trol of the State Penitentiary.
 To make appropriations to pay balance due the State accountants in the rate cases of $2,500, and to pay actual court cost, not attOr- ney's fees, $12,500, for appealing the rate cases to the Supreme Court of the United States.
 To make necessary provision for transferring the Supreme Court and State Treasurer'S office to the new capitol
 To make appropriations to maintain the several departments of the state government.
 To make appropriations to SUD- port the State Charitable and edu-

 There has been an effort during the session to pass a bill that would pro- vide for building new asylum, and tbe men vino favored that were slow to give their support to any bill look ing to the enlargement and improve ment of the present asylum.
 IL was only after Senator Raney agreed not to fight that bill in the Senate that the Glover bill was con sidered favorably.
 He proved to be a shrewd politician in withdrawing his opposition to the other bill, because the Glover bill was passed because of that act on his part and is now law; 70 it willnot appeal to the members of the House that there is any necessity of passing another bill providing for d new asylum, when the enlargement and improvement of the old building has been provided for

He will possibly escape the extreme

He may shrug his shoulders and

HONORING THE OREGON

No greater tribute could be paid tc
splendid achievement of the past
than to give to the battleship Oregon
the privilege of leading the naval
pageant of all nations through the
, Panama canal in 1915, proceeding to
San Francisco to take part in the
Panama-Pacific exposition.
The Oregon has a place in the
heart of the nation that is not held by
any other battleship. The whole
world was stirred by its race from
San Francisco around the Horn to
take part in the battle of Santiago.
To place the Oregon at the head of
the triumphant world procession of
dreadnoughts that will make their
way through the Panama canal in
1915 would be to emphasize sharply
the great importance Of the canal to
the United States navy.
President Taft has said that the op-
ening of the canal will virtually dou-
BILE the efficiency of the navy. The
Oregon, at the head of the naval pa
geant, will illustrate the difference
between 1898 and 1915. There will be
mighty ships in that pageant-ships
from England, France, Germany,
Italy, Japan, Russia and all the other
naval powers. The greatest dread
noughts of modern times will be
there. The United States alone will
have ten new battleships added be-
tween now and 1915. Mighty though
they may be. not one will ever show
more valiant heart than the Oregon
in that thrilling race around the
Horn.
The Oregon, in 1915. may be last
among the ships, estimated by the
modern test, but she will be first in
the hearts of the people of the United
States. and she should be given the
honor OF leading the fleets of the
world.
