CONTRACTORS TO APPEAL
State Capitol Litigation Has Been In
 Courts Long While.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Little Rock.-Judge Guy F'ulk of the second division of the circuit court has sustained the demurrer to the amended complaint of Caldwell & Drake, former state capitol contract ors, against Gov. George W. DonagFey and the state capitol commissioners, and dismissed the suit, the plaintiffs announcing they would appeal to the supreme court.
 The suit was brought by the con- tractors against the governor and the commissioners, H. l.. Remmel, Charles l.. Thompson, John I. Moore and R. F. Foster, in which a judgment for s250,- 900 was asked from the individuals for damages alleged to have been sus- tained because of the abrogation of the contract of the plaintiff contract ors
 The contract of Caldwell & Drake was abrogated by an official act of the legislature of 1909. This act was known as the Patterson act. The suit was brought by the contractors on the ground that the act was in violation of the organic law. both state and national. regarding the violation of the obligations of contract.
 The controversy between Caldwell 6 Drake and the state capitol com. mission has been pending in the courts in one form or another ever since the adjournment of the legislature in 1910.

STATE CAPITOL
 NEWS AND NOTES
State Auditor lobe Makes Bi- ennial Report to Governor.
 State Finance Bad.
RECOMMENDS SOME CHANGES
c+ste Penitentlary Is Self Supporting but Needs to Be Under Different
 Management.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
 Little Rock.-State Auditor John k. 1obe made his biennial report to the governor last week. He makes sever al recommendation for changes and improvements in some of the state departments and institutions.
 In speaking of the states financial condition Mr. lobe gives some strong facts and figures. He says that the present taxable value of the state is something in excess of $425, ,000,00, an increase of about S50,o00,O0o in the last two years, estimating the states income for the next two years on this basis, combined with the revenue from all sources, will give the state a sum of $2,272, ,o63.75 for all state purposes. MT. lobe says this would have been enough to run the state on an economi- cal basis for the next two years if it was not for the fact that the state had issued a great amount of scrip in the last two years and that this will have 10 be paid out of future revenues unless the legislature makes some other provisions for the caring of the script debts.
 According to MT. lobe, for several months past the state has been meet ing it's debts promptly but the treas ury will soon be without funds again and the state will have to return to the scrip basis again.
 This state of Arkansas finances is due, Mir. lobe says, to the ligslature making appropriations without inves- tigating the states ability to meet the obligations placed upon it by these appropriations
 In tho report Auditor lobe strongly recommends a change in the manage ueirr> -ens the state peniteptiary
 At the present time the penitentiary Is under the control of a board com posed of five state officials. Mir. lobe says that while the penitentiary has been a success and self sustaining un- der the present plan of management that 1t could be more efficiently man. aged under the supervision of a man pr men who could devote their entire time to the affairs of the penitentiary The financial affairs of the peniten- tiary are good and when the present fcrop is sold all debts will be paid and Ia surplus left to begin the new year bn.
 In treating of the state pension roll the report says that the roll has been growing continually but that the in- crease in the pension revenue has kept pace with the growing roll.
 The report recommends that as near ly all the pensioners are now drawing sl00 year from the state that $100 be made the uniform rate of all pen sioIis

RAIl ROAD COMMISSION NEWS

 Refuses to Change Rate.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Little Rock.--The Arkansas Railroad Commission met here last week in it's regular monthly meeting and cleared the docket of all cases for the sit ting.
 A point of legality has been raised by the railroads as result of the roads refusing to obey the order of the commission in regard to a reduc- ton on cotton seed rates.

 Cases disposed of were as follows:
 Kensett asking for improvements, postponed for investigation.
 Rogers asking for new depot on Frisco railroad dismissed. Depot un- der construction.
 Ogden, removal of depot 200 yards, dismissed on account of public being served best at present location.
 Tuckerman asking for better north ern outlet considered and deferred for investigation
 Hope and Nashville asking better express service between these cities, disposed of when the express com pany promised to install desired serv- ice by December 15.
 Sheridan asking for more stock pens. Disposed of when railroad prom ised more pens.
 Because of a recently ordered de- pot at Hubert the commission would not order another built at Hart's Spur, one mile distant.

 College station. Petition for depot continued till later meeting.
