oiled for passage in the Senate, has
encountered unexpected obstacles
The word has gone out that the bill
is too drastic, and the prospects are
that the Senate will proceed to rid
die it with amendments 1t has
been denounced by some Of the cor
poration LAWYERS of the city as an
outrageous measure, although II
has the support of the administra-
ton, having been drawn by Chair
man Gates of the Tax Commission,
and met with little opposition in the
House.
The chief objections raised to the
bill are its inquisitorial features,
which, it is declared, would make
public property of the books of any
private corporation to their detri-
ment. The friends of the measure
contend that these precautions are
designed primarily to catch the tax
dodger, assess property at its full
value, and reduce the tax levy to a
minimum.
PEMTENTIARY CONTROVERSY
The warmest fight that has yet
occurred in the Legislature was pre-
cipitated by the State Penitentiary
Board when it referred to the Gen
eral Assembly the question of the
further employment Of the convicts,
the contract with w l.. Reaves for
200 men having expired.
The Senate debated the PROPOSE
tion all one forenoon, and then
tabled it all, refusing to permit the
Board to shift their responsibility
to the Legislature. At the same
time, Senator Miles introduced
bill abolishing the contract system,
and providing that the convicts
shall be worked on the state farm,
and the surplus let to counties that
will pay their expenses. The Senate
by its action said the Board was
expected to do its duty, or answer
to the people.
In the House, it could not be so
summarily disposed of, and there
were many fiery speeches on the sub
iect. Politics played a strong part
ipthc debate, and it was openly as
serted on the floor of the House that
it was a fight between Atty. Gen.
Norwood and Gov. Donaghey, mem
bers of the Board who had taken
opposite sides Of the question. Gov.
Donaghey has consistently and at
all times stood for the abolition of
the contract system and the work
ing of surplus convicts on the roads.

didate for Governor by invitation

clared that while he was not in IA

LITTLE Rock, April 4

Should any one of the three bills
now pending in the Legislature for
the calling of a constitutional con-
vention prevail, the persistent at
tempts to amend the organic law
of he state will all go for naught
Since the address before the joint
assembly by I. s. Senator, J. p.
Clarke advocating new constitu-
ton, there has been renewed inter
est in the project.
The first bill was introduced by
Representative Henley, of Baxter,
several weeks ago, calling u
convention to be held in Little
Rock. Sept. II, next, the election of
delegates to be held on Aug, IA,
each county in the state to be enti-
tied to one delegate. For the pur-
pose of carrying out the provisions
of the act, the sum of $4,000 is
appropriated. This bill has beeu
read twice.
The second bill was introduced
last week by Representatives Mar
tin, of Faulkner, and Faucet, OF Pu
laski county, and has been read
twice and referred to the Judiciary
committee. 1t provides for an elec;
ton to be held in the various coun-
ties on Sept. 9TH for 1873 delegates
to comprise the membership OF a
constitutional convention to meet
in Little Rock, Nov. 27, 1911, and
remain in session as long as may be
necessary. The compensation of
the delegatesfs fixed at $500 for the
term, and the sum of $4,000 is APP
propriated for the purpose. 1t is
specifically provided that in the new
constitution the Fishback amend
ment and the Initiative and Releren-
dunn amendment shall be retained.
1t is rumored in legislative circles
that this bill, which is most compre-
henslve, was drafted by Senator
Clarke.
The third bill was introduced on
the following day by Senator Miles,
of Pulaski county, providing an
election on June 13, for the selection
of delegates to convention to be
held June 20, in Little Rock. The
mileage, perdiem and membership
are to be the same as the lower
branch of the General Assembly.
The Legislature is empowered to
appoint county commissioners and
canvass the returns.

Reunion of Company K.

Following the suggestion that the
Spanish-Amer1can War veterans of
Arkansas join in the coming r,union
at Little Rock in May, there has
been some enthusiasm locally in the
proposition that H prisons Com
panv X. attend in a body. This is
especially feasible in view Of the fact
that some twenty of the members,
including all of the commissioned
and many non-commissioned officers
and privates are still residents Of the
town, and as many more are at
points sufficiently convenient to
make it quite easy for them to Join
the party either here or at Little
Rock.
We have been reques ted by those
interested to ask all old members of
the company, who desire such move
ment, to call at the TIMES office or
write us their views, so that their
present addresses may be secured,
and they may be informed as to
future action in the matter.

County Court.

County Judge S. N. Alexander and
Clerk Alex Freezing have been busy
all week with the routine work of
the county court. Regular settle
ments with all the county officers
and allowance of claims have taken
up most of their time.
Petitions are in for several new
roads Of Importance ma de necessary
by the settling up Of different parts
of the county. One proposed road
opens a way from the Hill Top road
northward to the Carrollton road
in the west part Of the county; an
other reaches from the Carrolton
road to the Springfield road; and
still another runs directly north to
Omaha, shortening the distance sew
eral miles. Viewers will be appoin-
ed for all these roads.

nesOta.
Judge Morris announces that, he
will be here ready to open court
Monday morning, and requests at
torneys to have everything ready
for prompt action.
The criminal docket is quite small,
and its cases are all for minor
crimes. The Civil Docket is cores
pondingly large, and may take up
the time OF the Court for two weeks
if a majority are disposed of. On
the other hand if the usual policy of
continuance of important cases is
followed, it may be disposed of
within the first three days,

horticultural BOARD.
There is still hope for the resurrec.
tion Of the Rodgers bill for the crea-
tion of the Bureau of Horticulture,
as recommended bv the State Hor-
ticultural Society. The bill passed
the Senate with some opposition on
account of the appropriation of
$1,000 for the expenses of the Bu-
reau two years, and this was the
rock on which it split in the House.
1t was there postponed for sixty
DAYS which was prior to the exten-
tion of the session, it being the
avowcd purpose TO put it to sleep
But the time will eXpirr in less than
two weeks and the friends of the
measure are vigilant and will call it
up again with the hopes of securing
it's passage.
The bill providing appropriations
for the maintenance of the agricul-
tural schools, about 100000, is
being considered in the Senate, and
while it is being trimmed to some
extent, it is thought it will go
through without material change.
1t has been pointed out that the bill
levying a tax for their support is
based upon the present system OF
taxation. Should the Bradham-
Hurst bill become a law, with its
doubling of the assessment, the act
would Weld nearer million dollars
than 100000.
Since Commissioner Phillips as
sumed charge Of his office, he has
paid into the state treasury on ac-
count of the fertilizer fund, the sum
of $6,267 so. The governor has
signed the new act regulating the
sale and branding Of commercial fer
tilizers, which it is said will prove
most valuable to the farmers of the
state.
For STATE GAME WARDEN
There is a prospect yet Of the en-
actment of law providingfor a
state game and fish warden. The
Calvert bill was smothercd with
amendments in the House, and its
advocates, who sought a statewide
law or nothing, gave up their efforts,
and turned to the Senate. Senator
Williams introduced the bill provid-
ing for the warden and for non
resident license system for period
of twenty years. The warden is to
be appointed by the Governor, and
to receive a salary of $2400 year
for four years, with ten deputies at
500 a year.
1t makes it unlawful to ship or
carry out of the state any game or
fish. 1t fixes bag limit of Is quail,
duck or snipe, 10 squirrels, and two
deer or turkeys per day.
