OPINION IS GIVEN
Attorney General Norwood Thinks
 School Law Should Be Passed.

Little Rock-In an opinion given State Superintendent George B. Cook Attorney General Norwood holds that the school districts are not required to deposit with county t1easurers money received from the sale of bonds. He says:
 These questions are not free from doubt, but it is my opinion that the district would not be required to de- posit the money with treasurer, unless the act under which the money is bor- rowed required it to be so deposited, and if it should be deposited, in the absence of any express provision, I do not think the treasurer would be en- titled to commission upon it.
 Permit me to say in this connec- tion that the next general assembly should pass an act requiring that all moneys of school district, no matter from what source received, should be paid to the treasurer. In this way we would have permanent public record of moneys received by school dis tricts and the manner of it's disburse-
 
 ment In that event, money borrowed by school district would be in the custody of a public official, who is under a proper and sufficient bond for the discharge of his duties.
 q presume that all money that has been borrowed has been properly dis bursed. but it certainly is a loose sys- l L. |. school districts have been operating.
 If the legislature should think that the commission provided for the treasurer upon the school funds that the law now requires to be paid to him would be excessive on funds aris- ing from the sale of bonds, it could be provided that the treasurer handle the funds for a less commission, or, for that matter, no commission at all."

SEC. HODGES HAS PLAN
Would Give old Soldiers and Widows
 $1OO Per Year Pension.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Pettigrew-A new proposition will will be put before the next legislature, in the shape of bill proposing to give every Confederate veteran in the state $100 annually, if Secretary of State Hodges carries out plan sug- gested in his speech here.
 MT. Hodges spoke in support of the state Democratic ticket, this point being in his intinerary of northwest Arkansas. He was greeted by large crowd.
 As to the pension matter, Secretary Hodges said:
 T am going to ask some good mem- Der of the next legislature to intro duce a bill which will provide that hereafter each eX-Confederate soldier or widow of an ex-Confederate soldier who is eligible to receive pension from the state under our existing laws be allowed the sum of $100. Sev- enty-five per cent of them are already on the list for that amount, which is and I want to see all of them proper ly cared for during their declining years. I believe we should take care of our heroes of the sixties while they are living and let the angels take care of the dead"

SENATOR FREED IF
 CONTEMPT CHARGE
Senator Elmo CarI-Lee Declares His Respect for Court and
 All Parties Satisfied.
CASE IN COURTS LONG TIME
Charge Caused by Purported Interview Over Telephone in Which Criti-
 cism Is Made.
Western Newspaper Union New. Service.

Cotton Plant.-"For this eourt.'
 Those three words which State Sen- ator Elmo Carl-Lee inserted in a legal document which he filed in the South ern district of the Woodruff County Circuit Court here probably saved him from second sentence for con- tempt of court. Also, they served to to clear him of the contempt cnarge which has been hanging over him for a year and on which he was once fin ed $500 and sentenced to six months ill jail.
 As it was, Senator Carl-Lee said he entertained the profoundest respect and veneration for this court and the courts of our state and country" Judge H. N. Hutton, whose ire had been aroused when Senator Carl-Lee was quoted in the Arkansas Gazette as referring to his court as "kan- garoo court professed himself satis- fled with Senator Carl-Lee's statement and the veXatious affair was thus closed to the satisfaction of everyone concerned
 When the case was called in the Circuit Court, where it had been re- manded by the Arkansas Supreme Court, Senator Carl-Lee arose and read his answer to, the contempt charge. It ended as follows
 The respondent further desires to state that not only does he disclaim any and all criticism or reflection upon the honor dignity and integrity of the court at the time mentioned in the order filed in this proceeding, bu; he desires to emphasize the fact that as a citizen and an attorney at the bar, he has and does entertain the pro- foundest respect and veneration for the courts of our state and country"
 Judge Hutton declared that this was not sufficient. He said that Senator Carl-Lee's criticism had singled out his court. He ordered that the con- tempt proceedings go on. A few le. gal formalities had been attended to when Senator Carl-Lee arose and an- nounced that he wished to amend his answer. He then added the three words which included the Southern district of the Woodruff County Cir cult Court in his respect and venera- tion. and the case was ended.

UNITED STATES
 MAY INTERVENE Situation Considered Serious by Government Officials
 in Washington.
MORE TROOPS TO BORDER
Special Session of Congress May Be Called to Act-Demand Made
 on Madero.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Washington.-Two developments in the Mexican situation led observers of that situation to regard conditions as grave.
 President Taft ordered two full regi- ments of cavalry to the border line and the Madero government contem- plating permission of the United States, is preparing to transport it's loyal troops through Texas and New Mexico to attack the scattered bands of marauding rebels sallying across the line attacking American ranches and stealing cattle.
 After Maj Gen Leonard Wood, chief of the staff of the army, had talked over the telephone with Presi- dent Taft at Beverly the Thirteenth Cavalry from Fort D. A. Russell, Wyo- ming, and the Ninth Cavalry from Fort Riley, Kan, were put under rush orders to join the border patrol. The president made it plain that under no circumstances were the troops to cross the border line and that he still re- garded intervention as an act of the very last resort.
 In addition to the two regiments, Troop of the Third Cavalry was or dered to the neighborhood of a re- cent skirmish on the Victoria ranch and Troop B, Fourth Cavalry, was or dered from Fort Huachusa to Arivaca, Ariz., to strengthen the border patrol there. The president authorized the export of 300 rifles and 10000 rounds of ammunition to the beleagured Am erieans in the Canaea district.
 The United States probably will permit the Madero government to send troops through Texas and New Mexi- co into northern Chihuahua. Inas- much as the state department has de- manded that Mexico send federal troops into northern Mexico to protect Americans, it is assumed that the United States will cooperate with Madero in an effort to do so. The Mexican congress, however, must first authorize the sending of troops out of its country. This was done in the Madero rebellion.
 Although President Taft will not in- tervene in Mexico without the fullest deliberation upon step that would mean war, his friends declare that intervention is nearer than it has been since the first American troops were rushed to the border, IS months ago.
 It can be stated on the highest au- thority, however, that should the presi- dent decide that intervention is the only course open to him, he will call congress in special session and de- mand of it the authority to send the American army across the border. Under no circumstances, he has told his friends, would he do an unfriendly act toward Mexico without consulting congress.

STATE CAPITOL
 NEWS AND NOTES
Tax Commission Increases Railroad Assessments This
 Year Many Millions.
S3O.C00,C00 IN FOUR YEARS
This Is the Increase Shown by the Commission Big Railroads
 Bear the Burden.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
 The aggregate railroad assessments of the state have been increased by approximately three and a quarter millions in the assessment of this year over that of last year. according to the tax commission reports. The in- crease has been largely in the larger roads, which aside from their natural increase, have gained in business to the loss of the small tap lines OH ac- count of the recent ruling of the h. terstate Commerce Commission deny ing the tap lines the right to operate as railroads, and thereby avail them selves of the milling i'll transit privi- legeS granted to railroads. The com mission therefore lowered the assess ment of these log roads, and raised the assessment of those larger roads, which gained on account of the de- cision Of the court.
 When the commission was estab- 1ished, in 1908, the total railroad as- sessment of the state was S51 ,000 GOO and since that time to date the as- sessment has been raised gradually, until it is now $S1,71S,o55, or an in- crease, of more than 80 0,000 900 in four years time.
 1hs Iron Moun.ain is assessed :lore than any other system in the state, being totaled at $34, or, ,937 or an in- crease Of S1,626,S4S over the assess, nent oi last year.
 The Cotton Belt also came in for big share of the increase, their as- sessment being raised S1,03S,308, mak- ing the total $12,574,597.
 The Rock Island assessment in 1911 was s1G,1GS.211, against S10.837 LOO in 1912, and increase of $765.2S9
 The Kansas City Southern was in, creased s79,913, making their total 1912 assessment $4,417,421
 These assessments were certified out to the county assessors on Sep tember ] bv the tax commission, along with the assessments of the telephone, telegraph and express companies, and the pine lines. The totals for those corporations other than the railroads have not yet been completed.
