 Little Rock.-The two suits brought by the state of Arkansas in the sec ond division of the circuit court against the Great Atlantic and Pa cific Tea Company, for the collection of penalties, aggregating $331,00O, for alleged failure to comply with the statutes requiring foreign corporations to pay certain fees in order to en- able them to do business on Arkan- sas, were dismissed on motion of the state.
 It was explained to the court by B.. l.. McHancS, who made the motion for the state, that no evidence could be secured to show that the tea com pany had violated the law. On the contrary, the proof. was conclusive that the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company had never established business in Arkansas but by con- tract had permitted George l.. Hand ford to use the company's name, and in return for this privilege Hanford purchased most of his goods from the company at regular wholesale prices. All the accounts of the tea company in Little Rock were in Hanford's name as were all bank deposits.
 MT. McHaney stated that both At torney General Norwood and Prose cutting Attorney Rogers were thor oughly satisfied that they were unable to make case against the company before its dismissal was ordered

conditions of good road work in Ark ansas. He said that while Pulaski county ranked high in permanent road building in the U. S. Arkansas as a whole ranked thirty-eighth in the list of states. The statistics for 1910 show that during that year 40 counties in Arkansas did not build mile of per manent road.
 "The system of road overseers with citizens paying their road tax in la Dor, has been proven to be wrong in every state that has tried it. No road overseed will force his neighbor to do an honest days work on the roads, and he couldn't force him to do if he did insist upon it." MT. Bur ell said.
 MT. Burell explaintd to the dele gates how the government stood ready to assist any well organized move. ment for road improvement. He said men would be sent on request to sur lvey the proposed road and after the road was ready to build engineers would be sent to build the first mile for demonstration purposes. County bond issues were also advocated by MT. Burell.
 In many of the addresses that were delivered demand that counties be given the right to issue bonds for the construction of roads was voiced. Special emphasis was laid upon this point by Attorney General Hal Nor wood, who spoke at the morning ses- sion on State Aid to Good Roads" " MT. Norwood declared he is opposed, under present conditions, to the state aiding in the construction of roads. He said the financial condition of the state at present would make state aid impossible, even if it were desirable. He declared, however, that he is high ly in favor of the state creating and maintaining state highway depart ment, under whose supervision the money raised by the counties for good roads could be expended wisely He 'said the money paid to the state in automobile license fees, which amount 'ed last year to $8,000, and will 1n- crease from year to year, could well be used in the support of a state highway department.
 Another interesting address was that of County Judge Joe Asher of Pu- laski county, who spoke on Road Construction
 Judge Asher said he had found 1t profitable to work state convicts and he believed that the best way to dis pose of them.
 Judge Asher stated that, with the that, with the use of the convicts, he has built about ten miles of good roads at cost of ahnlt S5500 per
