TO PUT QU|FTUS
ON LOCAL BILLS
In THE NEXT LEGISLATURE
EIGHTY PER CENT OF BILLS IN
LAST SESSION WE'RE OF
LOCAL NATURE.

Little Rock, April 9.-The post
legislative session has adjourned, and
the body of officials, clerks and MEM
bers detained on committees this week
complete their duties and return to
their homes. These duties consisted
lin the preparation of the journals for
the printer and the enrolment of bills
for the signatures of the governor
and presiding officers. The precedent
established several years ago of COM
polling this to be done within 20 days
following the adjournment has been
adhered to strictly in this case, and
every bill was in the hands of Cover
nor Futrell for his consideration by
D. m. Wednesday, April 3. The jour
nal committees were given until April
10.
The completion of the Legislative
work shows in most stirring man.
ner the vast amount of local legisla-
ton, as fully 80 per cent of the stat
utes enacted are laws of this charac-
ter. 1t has been stated since adjourn
ment, by some of the hold-over sena-
tors, of whom there are IS, that the
senate will probably take the lead in
the session of 1915 in putting a
quietus on the great volume of local
legislation, by the passage of reso-
luton at the beginning, that no local
bill shall be considered unless it has
been advertised, as required by the
constitution, which specifically pro-
vides that
"No local or special bill shall be
passed. unless notice of the intention
to apply therefor shall have been pub
lished in the locality where the mat
ter or thing to be affected may be
situated, which notice shall be, at
least 80 days prior to the introduc-
ton into the general assembly of such
bill, and in the manner to be provided
by law. The evidence of such notice
having been published shall be exhib-
tied in the general assembly before
such act shall be passed"
Of the hundreds of local bills intro
duced, not more than half dozen
probably, complied with this provis-
ion of the constitution. In several
instances members opposed to partic-
ular bills caused statement to be in
serted in the journal that no proof OF
publication accompanied the bills
This, it is held, will invalidate any
act so passed should there be opposi
ton on it. In some cases these points
of order were expunged from the
house journal, in order to save The
bills, and the records thereby made
to speak a lie."

INFERIOR BRAN CONFISCATED.

confscation of several thousand sacks
of bran that have been sold by Fort
Smith dealer for pure wheat bran.
One of the department inspectors dis
covered, upon analysis, that it was a
mixture of an inferior quality to that
advertised, and the entire lot was or
dered confiscated. 1t was manufac-
tured by a Kansas milling company.

IN BUSINESS
|SPRED|CTED
William A. Ward Sees Blessing in
Recent Financial Stringency.
Farm Products Help.

Business will be in better shape
January l than 1t has been in ten
years"
This is the prediction of William
A. Ward, president OF the Ward
Truitt Company, who sees a whole
some lesson and a real blessing in the
recent financial stringency.
Some people think the conserva-
tive tendencies OF the past few months
have hurt business, but in my opinion
they have been the best thing that
could have come to u.s." declared Mr..
Ward. "Retrenchment has been
necessary to put business on a sound
footing, and has taught us that with
all our prosperity we should be care
full in extending. Hereafter business
is going to be on a saner. more legi-
innate basis-there will be less specu-
lation, and the result will be good.
THE tone of visitors to this store
is very much the same. The cotton
crop has been produced at about one
third the expense of the year be-
fore, and the price of 1871 and IA
cents is making the farmers feel fine.
There is more of corn, wheat and oats
and other things in the ground than
there has been in a long time. Much
corn means plenty Of meat, and meat
is a precious thing in the larder.
Farmers are enjoying a liberal
measure of prosperity. The auto
mobile has found its way to his place.
He can market his produce more
quickly and easily and at less cost,
Where he formerly planted sorghum
he now plants ribbon cane. In other
ways he is improving the quality. He
is also learning the value of diver
siflcation in raising crops. A power
full influence in this direction is that
of the corn and canning clubs, which
have not only encouraged more pro-
ductlon, but stressed quality. Far
mers have found 1t profitable in many
ways to compete for prizes, and this
spirit has made possible better prod
ucts and widespread interest in the
things of the farm

Statesmen and Side Lines
Should Latter Be Allowed?

1t was maintained that the original
employers had no right in such cases
to demand that the road man give his
entire time to their lines, providing,
of course, that the handling of the
principal line did not suffer from the
time spent on the lesser goods. Sales
men handling side lines saw to it, it
was said, that this condition did not
arise, mainly because the earnings
that could be made on the secondary
goods were not so great as those COM
ing from sales of the principal line.
One instance was cited OF textile
salesman who earned close to $40, 900
a year by handling two side lines
along with his principal line, being
paid on a straight commission basis
for all three and settling his own road
expenses. This man, 1t was said,
would not take a position in which he
would not be permitted to sell side
lines after he had made" town with
his principal goods, and IT was fur
Their said that there wasn't house
in the city in his line of business who
wouldn't take him on If the oppor-
tunity offered
The Credit Mems Bulletin suggests
that the best way to meet the matter
of secret contracts Is to have a writ
ten agreement between the house and
the statesmen that they are to devote
their entire time to furthering the in
terests of the house. The danger OF
being caught handling side lines with
this agreement in existence would, ac-
cording to The Bulletin, greatly in
crease the will power of statesmen
when 1t came to refusing alluring Of
fers made by other firms.

G HOULD statesmen carry side
y lines?
Opinions of Atlanta manufac-
turers and Jobbers differ, the general
belief being, however that IL statesmen
are paid salaries it is not proper to
work on the side. and that If on a
commission basis, 1t Is.
According to the current issue of
The Bulletin of the National Associa-
ton of Credit Men, the attention of
that organization has been called to
the attempts made by some business
houses to sell their products as side
lines by making secret contracts with
travelling statesmen engaged by other
houses on a regular salary basis. In
quiry among local business houses on
this point revealed a knowledge of the
condition referred to, but none of the
merchants seen was willing to con-
lecture as to the attitude of the sales
men regarding 1t. The attitude of the
House on the question was made plain
in several instances by the fiat state
ment that any proof OF statesmen hav-
ing such contracts, whether they were
paid on a salary basis or commission,
would result in instant dismissal
Among statesmen interviewed on the
matter there was an opinion prevalent
that the knight of the grip" had no
right to enter into secret contracts
with other houses for handling side
lines, IL paid by his employers on a
salary basis. BY those who were paid
on a straight commission basis, and
who paid their own expenses while on
the road, a different viewpoint was
taken.

Flour already is cheap" says Mr.
Burke. There was a considerable re-
duction in its price when the United
States made its bumper crop OF wheat
If anything. flour should go up, be-
cause it now seems that the world
supply is not as great as forecast.
1T does not seem that putting flour
on the free list will have much eff
feet. The bill provides that -four shall
be admitted free only from countries
which admit American flour free. So
Argentina and Canada, under their
present laws, still have to pay duty
No other countries are likely to ex-
port wheat this year.
Rice still is protected by 56 cents a
bushel duty, and the crop has been
cut very short by floods in Louisiana
and East Texas, which sections grow
most of the rice the United States
produces.
I'VE look for a sharp advance IN
rice, and shrewd jobbers are making
their purchases now.
--latest advices from Brazil point
to short crop of coffee, and the mar
ket, it seems probable, will continue
to rise. Our correspondents in New
Orleans advise early purchases as
likely to result in economy.

Trade is decidedly brisk. The de-
