May Require Extra Session.

Little Rock, May ga spe-
cial session of the legislature
may be inevitable if the point
should be raised and the courts
should decide that an Irregular
ity, recently discovered in the
general appropriation bill, pass
ed by the last legislature in the
closing hours of it's 1913 session,
invalidates every item of the
measure which provided for the
expense of operating and main
tanning every department Of the
state government for the next
two years.
Every state official is aware of
the discovery of the flaw and
there has been much discussion
of the matter behind closed
doors at the state capitol. 1t is
not probable that a state official
will question the validity of the
appropriation bill, because each
is satisfied with the appropria-
ton given his particular depart
ment and does not care to risk
losing a part Of his allotment at
the hands of the general assem-
bly, in special session.
Flaw Exists in Bill.
The flaw in the passage OF the
appropriation bill consists OF the
fact that the house passed the
appropriation bill in it's entirety
and the Senate passed an
amended bill which cut off an
item providing $4,000 for the
expenses of commercial feed in
spectors in the Department OF
Mines, Manufactures and Agrl-
culture, after the house had re-
fused to concur in the amend
ment.

Our Undignified President.

President Wilson is "undigni-
fed when he goes into New
Jersey to fight Jim Nugent in
the interest Of honest iuries and
clean elections, quotes the St.
Louis Republic, and adds: 1t is
unworthy the traditions Of
high office"
Of course it is. This plea of
the damage done to dignity
when wrong is rebuked in the
concrete and the beneficiary of
corrupt politics confronted in
his lair is as old as the history
of hypocrisy.
As Lowell says:
I'm wiin' a man sh'd go toler'
bic strong
Agin' wrong in the abstract,
cause tibet kind O wrong
Is alters unpopular, an never
gets pitied,
Because it's a sin no one never
committed!
But he mustn't be hittin' partic-
collar sins,
Cause tibet w'd be kickin' the
peoples own shins.
President Wilson might con-
fine his activities in the interest
Of honest government to making
talks on good citizenship and
civic purity before applauding
audiences of sympathetic audit
ors who were in agreement with
him before he began. But to 60

Judge Boyce, president of the
Board Of Education, will also
make a short talk upon the fin

and how the bond issue has been
spent in the construction of the
new building. There will also
be several musical numbers and
upon the conclusion of the pro-

Association will be organized

Miss Reichardt is very inter-

in the development of our
schools and the growth of a
healthy public interest in their
advancement.
The musical program will in

Our public schools more than
any one interest, represent all
of us. They bind US together in
our democracy, in leveling all ar
bitrary distinctions. They e]e-
vate our families and our citi-
zenship and appeal to us doubly
through our love of home and
country, blood affection and pa

movement here that has i'm
proved schools elsewhere ought
to enlist the hearty interest and

weight.
The company was given am
pie opportunity to comply with
the law, said Mr.. Page, "as we
give every other manufacturer
OF feed, but it failed to do so.
One Of its representatives called
our attention to the fact that
they were in Missouri and the
feed in Arkansas, which is not
the proper spirit.
THE law requires that the
true weight be shown on the
bag. tag, or package, which was
not done; the weight not only
was not shown, but it was three
pounds short of what it wa
represented to be. The law
clearly says that feed shall be Of
standard weight. The law also
requires a statement of its con-
tents on the tags so that the

J. Gregg, manager of the Les

readers and is published below:
Newport, Ark,
May Z, 1913.
AT a meeting held in New Or
leans on Feb. 4th, and in Dallas,
Texas on April 18th very string
ent resolutions were adopted
relative to condition of cotton
upon receipt at ship side. AS a
result of these meetings, steam
ship owners have served notice
that they would rigidly enforce
rules requiring all cotton to be
compressed to a density Of 2212
pounds per cubic foot, and would
penalize cotton imperfectly
marked and insufficiently cover
ed with bagging. To meet the
requirements of the steam ship
lines and railroads, the COM
presses will naturally be forced
to look to the buyer for protec-
ton, and we, to escape penalty
and excess compress charges
must look to the ginners to rem
edv existing conditions.
"To be able to compress cotton
to a density of 2212 pounds per
cubic foot it is necessary that
cotton should come from the
gins in a uniform or standard
sized bale. The standard size
adopted at the above meeting
land it is the size bale that is
generally regarded as standard)
is PISA inches. The weight OF
the bale should be approximate
ly 500 pounds. In the matter of
bagging, it is not necessary that
side pieces should be put on the
bale, but the top and bottom
should be covered with good
quality bagging and the heads
we'll covered and sewed. 1t is an
acknowledged fact that cotton
receives less care in handling
and preparation for market than
any other of the South's agricul-
tural products.
Government experts have es-
timated the loss in MONEY
due to the present careless me-
thod of handling cotton, as high
as $4,000, 900 per annum. When
one takes in to consideration the
fact that this annual waste
would provide ample food fol
every man, woman and child in
the United States for three days
and it means an amount equival'
ent to $32 for every living per-
son in the state of Arkansas, II
can be better understood what a
little more care OF The
SOUTH'S GREATEST CROP
would amount to.
