following the example set by the SEN
ate, refused to issue bonds to meet
the present deficiency in the states
revenues, the vote being g. to 20
This is also a reputation of one Of
the primary planks in the platform OF
Governor Robinson, who has been
urging its passage Messrs. Ragon,
Jackson and Parker vigorously oppos-
ed the bill, declaring that they were
opposed to placing a mortgage on the
farms and homes of the state to meet
obligations incurred through NAL
administration. The two Dayises Of
Columbia and Lafayette also opposed
the bill, while Newton and Sawyer
were the chief champions of the
measure.

bill was introduced as a privileged
one, under the guise that it was an
appropriation bill, but was read only
once.

HOUSE PASSES
APPROPRIATION
NOW READY FOR SENATE
APPROPRIATION FOR BOARD
OF HEALTH NOT INCCLUD-
ED IN MEASURE.

Little Rock, March THE general
has finally been passed
by the house, and is ready for the
senate to operate on it. The net re-
duction was not large as compared
with the deficit which the economists
are endeavoring to meet. The most
notable action of the house Thursday
was to refuse to make any appropria-
tiun whatever for the State Board of
Health, which was recently created by
the legislature.
The committee on ways and means
offered to amend the original bill by
providing $24,740 for the support and
maintenance of the board, but Davis
of Lafayette moved to reject on the
ground that the state is already deep
in debt and has no money to give the
rosrd, and his motion prevailed. A
separate bill will be introduced, but
the temperament of a majority of the
legislature appears opposed to it.
The departments had asked for
$79l ,S76. The ways and means COM
mittee recommended $695,44S. The
house, in committee of the whole, cut
this down to 1861 ,449. Then the house
adopted it at $6S7, ,34S, having restor-
