Sewerage System and Light
ing Plant to Be Installed
When Money is Available
Is SELF SUPPORTING
Gov. Hays Says He Will Also Rec.
Ommend Building of New and
Sanitary StOckades.

Little Rock, Aug. 15.-Before the end
of the coming week Gov. G. w. Hays
will make a visit to the State Farm
at Cummins, for the purpose of &C
quainting himself with the States
possessions.
From what l have been able to
learn" stated Gov Hays Friday aft
ernoon, Arkansas has the finest
plantation in the state l have also
been informed that there are some
things necessary to make it the mod
ell farm of the south. One Of these is
sanitation, and if it is possible to Sc
cure that. we are going to have it.
'"The state law will not permit the
commissioners to create a deficiency
or in other words, the penitentiary
must be self-supporting. There is
now no money for the making of i'm
provements at the farm, but when the
crop begins to move, the present in
debtedness for supplies will be wiped
out in hurry, and we can then spend
something for proper sanitation.
"While on the farm will make an
estimate of the cost Of a sewerage
system, also of small lighting plant,
and pumping station which will give
adequate fire protection, as we'll as
operate the sewerage system.
."If the commission has the money
to spare, l VIII recommend the erec-
ton of new and sanitary stockades. 1t
is my desire to reduce the rate Of sick
ness on the farm, for sick convict
cannot be worked, and the state there
by loses as he becomes an expense,
instead of a producer. 1t is economy
to build stockades where the convicts
will be comfortable, SO they can rest
we'll at night, and feel refreshed and
like working the next day. A satisfied
man is better worker than one who
has a grievance, especially if he feels
he has been abused in regard to his
accommodations. When l come back
from the farm l expect to have infor-
nation which will lead to many i'm
provements there"

Assistant Secretary's Letter.

My dear Congressman: THE De-
partment has given careful con-
sideration to the matter brought to
it's attention in the visit the other
day of the Arkansas delegation in
part composed of yourself. Congress-
man Goodwin. Congressman Jacoway,
Congressman Wingo and Congress-
man Oldfield. | have also read the
letter from the Pine Bluff Clearing
House Association to yourself. dated
August 9.
"In determining the deposit of funds
to assist in the movement Of crops,
the Secretary decided to relax his re-
gulations as to the class of security
which might be offered so as to in
clude commercial paper, but in order
to do this it became naturally mani
fest that the number of depositaries
would have to be restricted to the
principal cities or city in each state,
the banks in these principal cities
endorsing the guaranteeing. and COM
mercial paper offered as security for
deposits.
"In Illinois the City of Chicago, was
selected and it is expected that the
Chicago banks will pass ON these
funds to where they may be most
needed by the inferior banks in Illi-
nois, as we'll as the country banks at
more distant points, which have been
accustomed to rely for accommoda-
tons upon their correspondents in
reserve or central cities. In Ar
kansas the City of Little Rock was
selected as the depositary city on &C
count of being the largest city in Ar
kansas, and it was not practicable to
include smaller towns in this state.
1t is, however, expected that the
country banks will be Accommodated,
where they need Accommodations, by
their bank correspondents either in
Little Rock or il the nearby reserve
or central reserve cities with which
they may be accustomed to do bust
ness-St. Louis, Kansas City, New
Orleans, Chicago, New York or Texas
cities. According to the last census
the population of Pine Bluff was
1902, whereas the same census
gives Little Rock a population Of
1914, or more than two times thu
formulation IF Dino p1r,ff
mo state banks are eligible to
receive these deposits. The deposits
are being made, under the provisions
of the law, only in national banks
and a national bank in order to be
eligible to receive these deposits
must have outstanding circulation
amounting to not less than forty
per cent of it's capital. There is,
therefore, only one bank in Piae
Bluff which would be eligible even
if Pine Bluff had been designated.
1t is true that the three larger cities
in Mississippi-Vicksbu Meridian
and Jackson-were designated as de-
pOSltOry cities, but all or these cities
have a population, according ~ the
last census, of more than 10000.
Furthermore, each of these cities
have two or more national banks.
The apportioLmelt of funds has
not as yet been made, and l cannot,
therefore, state what portion Arkan>
sas will receive / regret that the
Department has not found it practi-
cable to increase the repositories in
Arkansas by including Pine Bluff, but
trust that this will make clear to
you the basis upon which the De-
partment has proceeded"
