ARKANSAS ACT IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL
U. S. SUPREME COURT SAYS STATE CANNOT TAX SOME
 PEDDLERS.
IS AN INTERSTATE MATER
Case Ordered Reversed With Costs and Remanded-Act Passed by
 1909 Assembly.

Westerll Newspaper Union News Service.
 Washington.-That the peddling act passed by the Arkansas legislature in 1909, tc regulate the sale of buggies, stoves, sewing machines, etc, within the state, is unconstitutional, was held by the United States supreme court in the case of Grenshay Gannaway and ether plaintiffs in error against the state of Arkansas. The court ordered the case reversed with costs and re- manded.
 In handing down it's decision the su- preme court held that where the ar ticles dealt in came from outside the state, it was an interstate shipment over which the state of Arkansas had no control although this state could regulate the interstate shipment of ar ticles sold without first obtaining h- cense from the state.
 The court held that the practice of agents taking orders in the various counties of Arkansas, for buggies or other articles manufactured outside the state and shipped into the state, was a transaction that should not be regulated by the state by the imposi- ton of tax or otherwise.

ROBINSON URGES
 BIG BOND ISSUE
SAYS ARKANSAS CONSTITUTION DOES NOT PROHIBIT-SENDS
 MESSAGE.
WOULD RAISE IMMENSE SUM
Chief Executive Says That in Future State Can Stay Out of
 Debt.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Little Rock.-In a special message to the general assembly, Governor Robinson again urged that some steps be taken to provide for the deficit now existing in the state treasury. The governor called attention to the fact Shat large deficiency appropriations have been made but no provision made to secure money for their payment.
 The governor renewed his recom- mendation that bond issue of $750. 900 be authorized to wipe out the pres ent floating indebtedness of the state and that the tax rate be readjusted so as to place sufficient money in the general revenue fund in the future to take care of the growing expenses of the state government. He declared that by suspending the capitol tax. es- tablishing the educational rate and fix ing the general revenue rate at figure that will make the total tax rate no larger than at present. there need be no deficit in the general rev enue fund hereafter.
 Governor Robinson quoted the con stitution to prove that the claim that the state cannot legally issue bonds is unfounded. He stated that the state is expressly prohibited from 'loaning it's credit" and from issuing interest bearing treasury warrants or scrip but the constitution nowhere pro hibits the state from issuing bonds. The section prohibiting the issuing of bonds, he declared, applies only to counties and cities

 Little Rock. = stephen Brundidge, one of the defeated senatorial candi- dates made the following statement in regard to the present political situa- tion
 T am here on business in no way connected with politics, but am being overrun with letters and telegrams from all parts Of the state asking me to make the race for governor. From a financial standpoint, l could not at all afford to accept it, but believing that this great office has been worked overtime to further personal political ambitions, I would like to see it used for a while at least in the interest of the great body of the people of the state, and as soon as the gentlemen who have so generously undertaken to provide the method by which the next governor of the state shall be elected, have decided among themselves just what voice they propose to let the people have in the selection (f any) I will then have a definite and positive statement to make to the people of the state, and I believe that another canvass of the state is just now much needed, much as I deplore a continual tion of a polictical agitation"
