 Washington The administration currency bill, proposing a revision of the financial system of the United States and the creation of regional re- serve banks to act as stabilizing ele- ments in the banking and financial world passed the Senate by a vote of 54 to 34.
 Forces that had fought together for improvement and amendment of the measure to the last divided when the final vote came. Senator Hitchcock, who had led the opposition to the bill, returned to the Democratic ranks and Senator Weeks, one of the leaders on the Republican side, with five other Republicans, and Senator Poindexter Progressive, voted for the passage Of the measure. Otherwise the vote was strictly party one.
 Differences Are Adjusted.
 Wide differences exist between the form of the legislation passed by the Senate and the bill that passed the horse several months ago. Democrat ic leaders easily adjusted these diff ferences, However.
 The adoption of the administration bill, known as the owen bill," fol- lowed the formal defeat, A to Al, of the Hitchcock bill, which has been en- dorsed by Senator Hitchcock and the five Republican members of the even ly divided Senate Committee that passed on the legislation. The Sen ate previously had rejected, without roll call central bank" bill offered as substitute by Senator Burton.
 Hitchcock Falls in Line.
 Senator Hitchcock announced his purpose to vote for the Senate bill as finally completed, because of it's great importance to the financial world. My whole fight has been -te strengthen and improve-the bill and to prevent hasty and blundering legis- lation, he said.
 Senator Weeks said he would vote for the measure, because it was "75 per cent good, and only 25 per cent bad" and an improvement over exist ing conditions.

MOTOR CAR TAX DUE JAN. 1

 Little Rock.-Motor vehicle license taxes for the year 1914 are due Janu- ary 1, and must be paid within 10 days, according to Attorney General W. l.. Moose, who handed down an opinion to Reuben G. Dye c, mmission- er>for the Department of State Lands Highways and Improvements. The opinion was. sought by Mir. Dye f order that the law relative to the col lecticn of the license fees by the county collectors may be understood by motor car owners in timc. to ore. vent the forfeiture of cars for da1fn. quency.
 The opinion of Judge Moose follows
 "The act of 1911 rakes the tax du~ within 10 days from the time when the owner acquires the motor vehicle and makes the registration expire or December 31 thereafter. If the license expires December 31, it would seem that ano her license would inmed ately fall due for the next year, and assume that the owner of the veh. cle would be required to nav within 10 days or else the tax would be de linquent, and the collector would be authorized to seize the motor car and sell the same according to the statute.

EMERGENCY WORK IS LEGAL
Attorney General Modifies Opinion as
 to 10-Hour Day in Mills.

Western Newspaper Union ,;rws Service
 Little Rock.-The feature of provid ing for an emergency that might arise in sawmill or blaming mill to cause the employed men to work more than 10 hours day has arisen, following the recent opinion of Attorney General w. l.. Moose, holding it illegal for mills to work their men more than 10 hours a day. The attorney general states that the law does not mention such cases as breakdowns, or acci dents and that in his opinion 1t would not be unlawful for the men to work overtime, if upon their consent, in such instances.
 q am inclined to think" he says that if such extra labor is wholly voluntary on the part of the laborer and he is paid for it in addition to the regular days work, and such work is not frequent, but occasional, growing out of special necessity, it would not be a violation of the statute.

 Walnut Ridge.-Plans for the build ing of an Odd Fellows Industrial School on the lands of the Shirey es- tate, which was bequeathed to the Odd Fellows lodge, were discussed at a meeting of the local lodge, which was attended by several state officers.
 It was the concensus of opinion at the meeting that the industrial sehoo should be established on the Robins farm, which is valued at $30,000. The contention is that the Odd Fellows Home in Batesyille is too badly crowd ed and is too costly to maintain. Should an industrial school be estab- lished on this farm the larger children could be brought from the Batesville home, placed in the school and be re auired to put OH at least portion of their time on the farm
 The entire Shirey bequest to the Odd Fellows is valued at $l06,000.
