NUMBER OF employees.
In the matter of the number of en-
ployes which it is proper to place up-
on the legislative pay rolls, 1t may be
remarked that this number should be
limited as much as possible, and that
they should be employed only as the
work of the legislature makes their en-
ployment necessary.
The printing expenses Of the legis-
lature have also increased by leaps and
bounds In recent years. This Is due
largely of course, to the excessive
number of bills which have been pre-
scented for consideration, but also to
those rules which have permitted the
printing of bills which were unneces-
sary, or which were so faulty in form
as to require them to be entirely re-
drafted and reprinted. ! suggest that
your rules should be made to provide
that bill be not referred to the print
ing committee until it has been re-
ferred to the appropriate committee of

Says He Approved the Un- derWood Tariff Bill In
 It's Entirety.
SENATORS CHANGE IT
Many Amendments Offered and Duty Will He Placed On Wool
 and Sugar.

Washington, May 15.-President Wilson this afternoon during his semi-weekly talk with newspaper men stated with an emphasis that he evi- dently desired should be layed before the public that he approved of the Un- derwood bill in it's entirety, as it pass ed the House and would not submit to any changes in the Senate.
 For the first time since these talks became a feature the president allow ed himself to be quoted as follows:
 Just say that I am not the kind that considers compromises when l once take my position" Up-to-date the Senate Finance Committee has adopted more than 200 amendments to the House measure. Many of them are of a minor character but the majority of them relate to rates and essential features of tariff protec- ticn.
 The presidents announcement this afternoon already has stiffened up a number of senators who were inclined to sit on the fence. Senators who might have been led gently up to the point of voting for free trade cannot be driven under whip or spur. The committee managers have failed ut. terly to get Senators Walsh and New land to agree to either enter a eau GUS or say what they will do when the time comes to vote on amend ments to the bill These two men hold the fate of the tariff bill in their hands, Their votes will be sufficient to defeat free trade.
 President Wilson, we'll informed senator stated this evening, will be brought face to face with compromise before this tariff fight is over and a duty may be placed on sugar and wool.
 Late in the afternoon an agreement was reached that the vote on the Penrose motion to order hearings shall be tomorrow at o'clock It is believed the hearings will not be or dered
 Under existing laws the basis rates on produce schedule is 15 per cent advolorem. The House reduced this to five per cent. The subcommittee having this in charge has tentatively agreed to raise it to 2 1-2 per cent which is fifty per cent cut. This 2 1-2 per cent increase will extend all along the line.

 Russell Said.

G. Russell, former city collector charged with embedding $13,SO0 from the city improvement districts O. Pine Bluff, was Thurday afternoon bound over to await the action of the Jefferson county grand jury after he had waived examination in Magis> trate J. A. Frazier's court. The hear ing had been postponed from mor ming hour at the request of Russell who had no attorney, but who made his own statements in court His bond was increased from 5000 to sS.OOO, after District Attorney T. G Parham had insisted that the shor- tage was so great that small bond would not be satisfactory to the state Russell was not long in being re- leased a second time from custody when w. D. Hearn, president of the Bank of Pine Bluff, and J. F.. Boyce president of the Cotton Belt Savings and Trust Company, signed his bond.
 Although Russell protested against the taking of evidence by the state, after he had waived examination and had been held to the grand jury, ask ing the court if it was proper to take evidence after such a procee- dure," District Attorney Parham, to sustain his contention that the bond should be increased, called three witnesses, City Clerk w. A. Lee, Cliff ton Howell, commissioner of Paving District No. 27, and Tracy Mills, one of the fifteen friends of Russell who was called into conference by the former city official last riday, when he unburdened himself to them and admitted he was short more than $13,0OO.
 City Clerk Lee testified that he had audited the books of several improve ment districts and was still at work on others. He was asked if there were discrepancies in the books he had gone over and replied that short ages were evident. In Paving Dis trict No. 26 there is a discrepancy ol $2,99O.3S; Paving District No. IS, $5SO.30; Paving District No. 20, ST., 71S.05; Paving District No. 10, $6SS.43; i; Sidewalk District No. ,, $431.7S. The total amount of shortage as report ed by Mir Lee in the districts audit ed, is $6,40S.94. To this amount was added the sum of $1,7oO part of the alleged shortage in Paving District No. 27, which MT. Howell testified was the amount of the discrepancy In the books of that district, which are still being checked.
 When asked how he ascertained the shortage in the various districts, City Clerk Lee said that he took the total taxes due in each district, from the time Russell went into office to the day of his retirement. He credited him with the amounts he paid over to treasurers of the districts and then
