SHORT SESSION
Is POPULAR
GETS LETTERS
FROM MAJORITY OF THE MEM
BERS OF LEGISLATURE FA-
VORING 60-DAI SESSION.

Little Rock, Oct. 3.-From letters
which Attorney General Norwood has
received from majority of the mem
bers of the legislature, they believe
that the work of the next session can
be transacted in so days. A very
small per cent of the members ex-
pressed the opinion that so days is not
enough time, and a smaller per cent
think the per diem too small in view
of the limitation of time.
'In my opinion" said Gen. Nor
wood, 'the members of the Arkansas
General Assembly are just as capable
as those of other states, and can trans
act as much business in the same
length of time for the average compen-
sation paid in other states. Therefore
/ cannot agree that the compensation
is too small or the time too United as
fixed by Amendment No. Is.
ga careful comparison of the pro-
visions of Amendment No. Is, with
time limit as fixed by our amendment,
is about the average, and the per diem
is above the average. Those other
states appear to be getting along very
we'll and what can be done anywhere
else can be done in Arkansas"

SAYS AMENDMENT
CANT BE DODCED
60-DAY SESSION CERTAIN
NORWOOD DECLARES LEGISLA-
TURE CANNOT THWART
NEW LAW.

Little Rock, Oct. 4-Attorney-G Gen
eral Norwood, author of the 60-day
amendment, thinks that nothing will
come of any effort to declare the
measure not adopted
Il have heard rumorS that one or
two parties have said they would find
some way to keep amendment No. 10
from becoming effective" said Gener-
al Norwood, but | did not know up
on what ground it would be attempted
until | read that an effort would be
made to have the speaker refuse to
it had not been properly advertised.
"The law prescribes the duties of
the speaker in this connection is man.
datory and his duties are merely min
isterial. The law provides that the
returns upon the amendments shall
be opened and counted in the presence
of the general assembly in joint ses-
sion, and if it shall appear that a ma
jority of the electors voting at such
election adopted such amendment,
then the speaker shall declare such
proposed amendment duly adopted by
the people. He has no power to go
behind the returns.
"But even if the general assembly
had authority to go behind the re-
turns and consider the manner in
which it had been advertised, they
would find it regular. Amendment
No. 10 specifically directed the legis-
lature to pass an act providing for
the manner of submitting measures
and amendments and pursuant to this
constitutional authority the enabling
act was passed, and amendment No.
Is was published as required by the
act.
81 hardly think that any attempt
will be made to thwart the will of
more than 100000 electors of the
state, but if an effort of that sort
should be made, nothing would be &C
complished, because our supreme
court has held that the question Of
whether an amendment is adopted
may be determined judicially There
fore the mere formal declaration of
the speaker upon the question is by
no means final.
"The speaker several years ago de-
clared that the amendment authoriz-
ing the governor to fill vacancies in
Office by appointment had been adopt
ed, but the supreme court afterwards
held that it had not been &iopted.
If the court has the power to hold an
amendment has not been adopted
when it is declared adopted by the
speaker, it would certainly have the
power to hold that an amendment has
been adopted, although a speaker
might have previously declared other
