With The Legislators
By J. H. HAND.

Election Consolidation Stlrs the Heuse
The McFerrin-Ow bill to consoli-
late state and national elections pro.
yoked an earnest debate in the house.
Mr.. McFerrin, in presenting the merits
Of the bill, pointed out the heavy ex-
general elections when, in his opinion,
The cost of holding one is entirely nm
necessary. He called attention TO the
light vote which prevailed throughout
The state in the last congressional
election, just a short time after elec,
lion, and when the people were not
imbued with any local interest in the
outcome. The light vote in congress
sional elections threatens the success
of the Democratic ticket in our repre-
sentation in congress, declared the
speaker, and ere long Republicans
will break the Democratic ranks of
the Arkansas delegation in congress
unless change is made. He declared
that experience had proven in other
Southern states where the experiment
had been tried that this is not ONLY
an economic measure of great import,
but one absolutely safe, so far as po-
litical domination by white men is
corcerned, and that there is no foun-
dation for the fear expressed by the
opponents of the measure that con
solidation of state with federal cleo
tions would encourage negro domi-
nance in elections under federal pro-
lection. Opposition to the measure
was led by Representative Lewis,
Parker and Hudson. They warned
the members against the passage Of
a measure which, they declared, car.
ried with it the possibility of return
tc carpet bag rule and the palmy days
of Claytonism, which, they declared,
would be natural consequence of
election consolidation in Arkansas;
that under federal protection negroes
would become emboldened and assert
the power of their superior numbers
in several counties IN eastern and
southern Arkansas, where the white
citizenship is now in peaceable con-
troll under our state election laws,
where the federal authorities have no
excuse to interfere. They appealed 70
the members from the highlands -
stand by their brethren in the black
telt and save them from the consc-
Quences which would be certain 10
arise through racial complications
should the bill become law. Mr.
Hurst closed the debate, and on roll
call the bill was killed by vote Of
81 to 33.

speclaI Levy for Agricultural Schools.

A bill in the house, which has pass
ed, providing for a special levy OF
1-2-mill for the maintenance of the
four agricultural schools in the state
was a live topic of discussion, and def
-inite action was postponed in order
that a thorough investigation of The
merits of the measure might be made
by each member The bill was strong
ly opposed by Representatives Parker,
Kersh and Glover Their main OBJ
joction was that the levying of a
special tax would establish danger
Gus precedent for other departments
Of the state government, and that the
farmers were not wanting such a
measure. Representatives Hurst, New
ton and Bellamy championed the Bill
on the grounds that education in the
farming industry will justify reason
able special levy which will have the
effect of taking these schools out Of
politics in asking for appropriations.

Railroad Employees to Have Control Of

Mr. Partian's bill giving TO railroad
employees the right to choose a major
ity of the board of control for railroql
hospitals passed the house by an
Overwhelming majority. Tho discus
sion OF the bill took a wide range,
but the strongest argument offered in
its favor was the fact that the rail-
road employees are assessed a monthly
due for the maintenance of these hos
pitals for their care and treatment in
case of accident or sickness and were
therefore entitled to voice in choos-
ing the physicians and directing the

fVV-Dat Limit OF session Deteatso.
A resolution offered by Glover OF
Hot Spring county proposing consti-
tutional amendment limiting the legis-
lative session to 100 days met yio-
lent death in the house by vote of %
to 81. Those advocating the meas
ure with Mr.. Glover were Representa-
tiNes Parker of Ouachita, Davis and
Baker of Independence. The a7gI-
ments advanced in its favor were that
to set stated time in which the busi-
ness of the legislature must be fin
ished would raise the respect of that
branch Of the state government among
the people, whereas now the members
are suspicioned of being influenced
by the Sc day in voting for necessary
extensions in order to complete the
business; that If members came TO
the capital knowing that they had only
certain length of time in which to
do their work there would be loss time
frittered away in consideration of un-
important measures. The opposition
was led by Representatives Martin Of
Faulkner, Boggs of Little River and
Hurst Of Washington. Among the OBJ
jections offered were the cost Of pro
posing an amendment, the uncertainty
of being able to finish the work in 1Oo
which would mean an extra session
of unrestricted duration. and the SUI
perior advantages of calling convon-
tion to draft new constitution over
the uncertain and expensive practice
of proposing amendments.
