RsTARplne PROGRESS.

Over his own signature. m a dls- sertation on the Turner-Jacobson as sessment law, Governor ponaghey says:
 T tried to make the legislature re- cuca .he appropriations; but insteac that body increased them. "
 Yes, Governor Donaghey is for few CT appropriations, when the appro- priations Go not bear his especial stamp of approval, and for appropria- tons very largely increased Sor ms pet measures.
 The legislature could not have given him too much of the state money to spend on the state capitol.
 The criticism of the legislature m the most part is unanswerable, for 1t was not in keeping in it's work With what legislature of progressive and aggressive state should have been.
 However. lne criticism urged by Governor Dohagney is absurd.
 Arkensas is growing state, just as its cities and it's counties are growing There Is not a municipal tty In ttn state nor is there a coun- ty in the state, that can be run as cheap nov as 1t could have been last year, or the year before.

DISTILLERIES HARD HIT
Raney's Bill, Putting Them on an Equal With the Retailer
 Has Passed Both Houses

By practically unanimous vote the House Friday afternoon passed the bill by Senator Raney prohibit ing the sale of liquor in this State by manufactures unless licenses shall have been secured from the county court.
 The bill has already passed the senate and becomes law as soon as approved by the governor.
 Senator Raney scored quite victory in the passage of this bill, as 1t puts the distiller on an equal with the saloon man, and this will go far toward securing better en- forcement of the liquor law in dry territory.
 Heretofore under section 5093 of Kirby's Digest manufacturer of alcohol or fermented liquors of any kind could sell his product anywhere in the State, provided he sold in original packages of not less than five gallons All that was necessary was that the manu- facturer have a governmentlicense; no license was needed from the county. Under Senator Raney's bill the five gallon original pack age" proposition is stricken out of the statue, making the law read to the general effect that no one can sell liquor in Arkansas without be- ing licensed by the county court, no matter what the quantity may be.
 As dry counties will naturally refuse to issue license, the manu- lecturers will be unable to sell, as heretofore, in such counties with out being liable to indictment.
