HOLDS CITIES HAVE
NO |. and R. POWERS

Little Rock, July 19.-According
to the latest opinions of Attorney
General Norwood, based upon decis-
ions of the supreme court, cities and
counties have no right whatever,
either of initiative or referendum,
under the |. & r. amendment. At
first, it was thought that the power
ofreferendum might have been
saved, but even this is denied The
general laws say that all laws for
the government of cities, aside from
the general statutes, shall be made
by councils, and to rule otherwise
would be to contravene the constitu-
ton. 1t is possible for the legisla-
ture to confer upon municipalities
the power of initiative and referen-
dunn, he says, but it has not been
done

vote, except such persons as may for
the commission of SOME felony be de-
prived of the right to vote by law
passed by the general assembly and
who shall exhibit poll tax receipt
or other evidence that he has paid
his poll tax at the time of collecting
taxes next preceding such election,
shall be allowed to vote at any cleo
ton in the state of Arkansas"
The interpolation of the disquali-
fication between the qualifications
for voting in this amendment is so
awkward that literal and grammat-
zeal construction of the sentence
would be that all persons meeting
the qualifications stipulated shall be
allowed to vote, EXCEPT those who
have committed felony and who ex-
'hibit poll tax receipt. 1t would
seem to be wise, therefore, for any,
one who desired to vote to keep his
poll tax receipt concealed while he
was in the act of casting his ballot.
1t may be expedient to deny the
right of suffrage to negroes in Ark
ansas, but we believe it would be of
even more benefit to the state to re-
quire that a legislator shall be able
to write a simple sentence in the
English language without contradict
ing himself before he reaches the

JOKERS IN LEGISLATION.

The increasing recurrence Of "Jok-
ers" in Arkansas legislation strongly
emphasizes the need of a working
knowledge of the English language
by those who draft our laws and pro-
posed amendments to our constltu-
ton. The supreme court has just de-
cided as matter Of sound policy
that Amendment No. 10 must not be
interpreted literally for the reason
that such an Interpretation would
create a condition OF legislative anar-
chy, and has wisely decided that GER
tain words were "inaptly thrust" in
TO the wording of the amendment
and are meaningless. Even yet ev-
eryone is in more or less doubt as to
whether either the people of the leg
islature have conferred initiative
and referendum powers upon cities
and counties. the attorney general
holding emphatically that such pow
ers have not been conferred. And
the fact that the supreme court has
interpreted the amendment to mean
what was intended rather than what
was actually written does not excuse
the egregious blunder made in the
enactment.
Now comes DR.. D. Y. Thomas of
the University of Arkansas and
points out that proposed amendment
No. II, now before the voters for
adoption or rejection is itself a huge
joke and while intending to disfran-
chise such negroes as are unable to
read or interpret the constitution to
the satisfaction of the election judg
es, it actually does nothing of the
kind. His view of the proposed
amendment appears in another part
of this paper, and, after reading it,
it is difficult to see how even char
itably inclined and sensible supreme
court could interpret the amendment
to mean what was intended for it to
mean.
We do not know that anyone has
ever before called attention to the
matter, but careful reading of the
poll tax amendment, first adopted in
1892 and re-adopted in 1908, will
leave one in doubt as to whether the
exhibition of poll tax receipt would
PRECLUDE instead of PERMIT an
elector to vote The amendment is
as follows:
Every male citizen of the United
States, or male person who has de-
clared his intention of becoming a
citizen of the same, of the age of 81
years, who has resided in the state
twelve months, in the county six
months, and in the precinct or ward
one month, next preceding any cleo

should prevent recovery. 1t is praeti-
