OIIC.DRILLED WELLS VERY DANGEROUS

Almost any community in rbich wells have been drilled oon boast of a number of combi- nation dug and drilled wells. The owners congratulate them solves on their wisdom in utiliz- mo an old dug well fifteen, twen- tv or thirty feet in depth, and drilling through the bottom of this to good flow of deep water. The cost of drilling that twenty or thirty feet has been saved, certainly an economy worth con sjdering. As a matter of fact, this combined dug and drilled well is a particularly dangerous type It may readily breed ma larial fever or even typhoid few CT, which is more prevalent in the country than even in the overcrowded cities, in spite of the supposed pure water supply of nearly all farming sections. Such well is all the more dang erous because it is fancied to be safe. Although the water en- countered by the deep well may be perfectly pure at the start, contamination may take place al. most immediately by the en- trance, especially after rains, of seepage water into the open well and thence into the casing of the drilled well. The remedies are obvious. Either the casing should be carried to the surface of the outside ground. or at least above the highest level ever reached by the water, or the open we'll should be converted intoa water tight system by ap. plying a thick coating of cement over both sides and bottom.

ACTING OFFICER
 SEIZES LIQUOR

Local officers Wednesday even- ing seized a quantity of liquor which arrived on train No. 223 and it was carried to the mayors court where it is being held. There were forty-six quarts which were taken charge of, but no packages of five gallons or over were billed to any one per- son. This being the case no prosecutions are likely to result.
 The liquor will probably be held until next week. It is thought by the officers that the seizure of the liquor probably prevented a good many trunks on tomorrow, which is circus day

T.J BILL UP TO
 THE PEOPLE

Little Rock, Oct. 19.-The eel. ebrated Turner-Jacobson reven. ue bill, which has become the principal political issue of the day in Arkansas, is not now a law, and is subject to reference to the people in the general cleo tion of 1912.
 This is the effect of a decision handed down by Chancellor Mar. tineau in the case of the Arkan- sas Tax Commission against the assessor and county clerk of Pulaski county, to compel them to certify out commissions as- sessments against the Little Rock street railway, water and gas companies, under the terms of the new bill. Attorney Gen. eral Norwood made a motion that the suit be dismissed, because the alleged act was not in effect provision having been made for it's reference to the people un- der the terms of the I&R amend ment to the constitution.
 In the opinion rendered yes terday, the court holds that the act is not and has not been in eff feet. There were not more than half dozen present at the de- liverance. The court did not have written opinion, but de- liyered it verbally. The question as to the right of the Commis- sion to bring the suit arose by reason of the passage of the I&R amendment, by which the people reserve unto themselves tn e right to pass on laws not neces- sary for the immediate preserva- tion of peace, health and safety. The court held that the amend ment is selfexecuting, and did not require the enabling act to make it effective. Since the leg islature did not expressly pro- vide that the act should become effective at once, the only thing left to make it an emergent act would be some internal provision requiring certain things to be done before the expiration of the ninety days after the adjourn. ment of the legislature, which is provided by the amendment in the case of all acts to which the emergency clause is not attach ed.
