Little Roek-Although the rules
adopted by the Democratic state con
vention for the regulation of state
primary elections provide that any
eligible Democrat is entitled to en-
ter the race for any office and to have
his name printed on the ticket up to
within 20 days of the election, 1t Is re-
ported that several counties have al
ready closed the tickets to be voted
upon in the state primary March ~.
In these cases, it is said, the county
committees decided to close the tick
cts 30 DAYS before the election.
Those candidates who have not yet
arranged to have their names placed
upon the ticket in all the counties
were somewhat worried over the sit
uation and make hast to get into COM
munication with the remainder OF the
counties.
The state candidates have been con-
fronted, as usual, by difficult prob
lem in arranging to have their names
placed on the tickets in the various
counties. The resolution adopted by
tine state central committee at its last
meeting, calling upon the secretaries
Of county committees to notify the
secretary of the state committee as
to the amount to be charged state
candidates for getting their names on
the ticket, was ignored in number
of counties and each candidate has
been compelled to get this informa-
ton in any way he could.
The various counties levy different
assessments upon the state candidates
and it is necessary for each candi-
date to communicate with some one
in each county in order to find out
what Is required to get his name on
the ticket number of counties will
place the names of the state candi
dates on the ticket free of charge this
year, but in most cases a fee ranging
from 81 to $40 is charged Marion
county has levied an assessment of
sl0 on each state candidate this year
In most of the other counties the fee
Is one or two dollars.

INSURANCE COMPANIES LOSE
Last Day of Filing Statements Passed,
Percentage of Loss Not Known.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
The last day upon which, under the
law, insurance companies could file
their annual statements and bonds
has passed All those companies
which failed TO file their reports
within TIE time prescribed by law
have presumably forfeited the right
to do business in Arkansas. 1t will be
several lays, however. before State
Auditor John r. lobe will be able TO
determine whether any companies in
Arkansas have failed to comply with
the law, as it will be necessary to
check over all the reports filed in the
department.
1t Is believed that the reports will
show that the fire insurance com
panies operating in Arkansas have
sustained considerable loss during
the year ending December 81, taking
into consideration both the losses ana
the commissions paid.

WOMEM'S LEAP YEAR RIGHTS
In Scotland Years Ago They Were Rec
c3nized as Real, and Well De-
fined by law.

Ancient, indeed, are the prer1gatiyes
that are accorded to women in leap
year. They are SO old that none can
tell just how or when they originated
However, the ancient Scottish parlia
ment gives US date as well as a law
upon which to hang the right of wom-
en- to take the initiative in leap year.
as convention forbids them to do in
other years.
In the year 1928 this body passed a
law which, in its quaint old English,
expressly conferred on wcmankind the
right to propose marriage in leap year.
Here is the law, just as it was written
the parliamentary records:
"Ordonit that during ye reign of her
maist blessed Majestic, ill1a maiden,
