and keeps at the task day after day.
A child's brain is being built the first
fifteen years Of life, and It Is the moth

child's mind is leaving its physical i'm
press on the brain, and making that
thought easier to occur again. Pave
the way for good and great thoughts.

STATE CAPITOL
 NEWS AND NOTES
Attorney General Norwood Fin ishes knoCkiug Out Local
 Initiative Laws.
ADVISES SECRETARY HODGES
Supreme Court Ruling Only Affected Part of Local Measures-Opinion
 Effects All of Them.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
 Little Rock.-Attorney General Fal l.. Norwood delivered the final knock out blow to the joker" of the initia- tive and referendum amendment to the constitution when he held that no county has the right to initiate a law, whether it is in conflict with the zen eral laws of the state or not. The at torney general did not give an official opinion to this effect, but he stated that he would advise Secretary of State Hodges not to certify out to the election commissioners any of the county measures which have aeen initiated.
 This ruling will affect directly three local measures, which have been pub lished and which, it has supposed, would be submitted, as they were not rendered invalid by the decision of the supreme court. One of these pro- posed measures provides for the abol- ishing of the district court at DeVall's Bluff in Prairie county. The two others affected Srovide for the elimi- nation of Independence and Sharp counties from the Northeast Arkansas Tick Eradication district.
 Attorney General NorWood holds that no county has any authority, either under the initiative and refer endum amendment to the constitution, or the enabling act, to initiate any measure. The supreme court held dat the constitutional amendment did not give counties the right to initiate measures, whether in conflict with the general laws of the state or not, but the court did not pass upon the authority conveyed by the enabl.ng act
 The power conferred upon the leg islature to make laws" Mr Norwood declared. cannot be delegated by it to any other body unless authority 70 do so is conferred by the constitution. The court has held that the constitu- tional amendment conferred no such power upon counties and there is noth- ing in the old constitution comforting the power upon the legislature to dele gate power to counties to make laws.
 The constitution does not provide that the legislature may provide for the organization and government of municipalities. but as the whether mu- inequalities have the right to make and refer laws, I am not determi ing at this time"
 AS result of the decision of the supreme court and the attorney gen. erals opinion, the only measures sub mitted at the September election will be those initiated by the people of the entire state.
