BUGAB0O OF SPECIAL
 SESSION LEGISLATURE

Little Rock, Aug. 6.-With each change of governor comes before the people the same old bugaboO of special session of the legislature. As usual, it comes from the St. Francis Levee Board. Failing to dispose of S1, 100000 in bonds at par. even though 54 per cent interest were offered, the officers of the Board desire special session of the legislature in order that a bill may be passed which will permit the Board to sell the bonds at less than par.
 The matter was discussed in the presence of Acting Governor Futrell and Gov-elect G. w.. Hays, Tuesday afternoon, and to Gov. Futrell, who lives in the levee district, and who is well versed in it's affairs, the propo- sition was a laughing matter. Gov. Hays who takes office Wednesday afternoon, stated he knew too little about the affairs in the district to venture an opinion in the matter.
 There is little chance for a special session, even though there are other matters of more importance to the entire state which might be profitably con- sidered at the present time.
 According to the report of H.. w. Hennigen, special accountant who audited the books of the St.. Francis Levee District from May 1, 1911 to date, the levee board dealt in high finance indis. posing of 100000 worth of bonds in 1909, after the report the board ol directors would hardly again sell bonds at less than par, in violation of the state law, even through subterfuge. The board at that time sold the bonds at par, but allowed an employe of the bonding company S30,000, which was in fact a rebate to the bonding company, the commis- sion to the employe being tic' titlous transaction.
 The last legislature passed an act permitting the board to sell $1 ,500,0 GOO worth of bonds, but it demanded par for them. The directors have been unable to sell them for that amount, no doubt due to the failure of the directors to see that interest op the outstanding bonds was promptly paid. Auditor Henni- gen stated in his report that this had injured the credit of the dis trict in the money centerS.

Mr.. Ientz is correct. One who has

course, but the burden Of blame should
