Monthly Bills of $115,663.

State Auditor L. l.. Coffman issued vouchers against the general revenue fund for Sl,3S7, ,956 between December l, 1913, and November 30, 1914. This means that the states expenses from that fund each month averages $115,- 663.
 MT. Coffman does not believe that this represents the normal monthly expenditures, but says that much of the expenditures were for building improvements.
 It is generally believed that the 1915 legislature will decline to make appropriations for permanent build ings because of the rapidly increasing deficit in the general revenue fund. An estimate made at the capitol this week fixed the probable deficit on January l, 1915, at $540,000. It was more than $39O,0O0 at the close of business December l.

Another Effort to Save Hodaes.

Attorneys representing Arthur Hodges, condemned to die Friday, De- cember IS, for the murder of Constable Morgan Garner at Amity, have filed a brief in support of their motion for a rehaaring of Hodges case before the Arkansas Supreme Court The court denied Hodges the right of an exami- nation as to his sanity in Pulaski County Probate Court.
 The chief contention of Attorneys Lewis Rhoton and Grover Owens, rep resenting Hodges, is that the Peniten- tiary Commission should be vested with the authority formerly given to county sheriffs to postpone the execu, tion of condemned man pending an investigation of his sanity.

COTTON BELT |S
 SUBJECT TO TAX U. S. SUPREME COURT UpHoLDs THE ARKANSAS FRANCHISE
 TAX STATUTE.
SUITS ARE TO BE INSTITUTED
Proceedings Against the Cotton Belt For Collection of Large Amount
 of Delinquent Taxes.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service Little Rock Suit will be instituted soon by At torney General Moose to recover the state franchise tax from those corpo rati0hs which~have refused to pay it. All doubt ofthe states right to collect the franchise tax was removed by Mondays decision of the United States Supreme Court in the Cotton Belt suit
 Members of the State Tax Commis- sion, through which the tax is assess ed, say that the franchise tax aggre- gates this year approximately $2O0,. 0e9, and that only very small per cent of the corporations failed to pay the tax. The names of those com panfes which failed to make the pay ment were certified to the attorney general for collection by suit. It is probable, Commissioner F. E. Brown said this week. that the suits may ask total of nearly $5O,000 for the four years during which the law has been operating. This sum is ex, elusive of the amount which will be collected from the Cotton Belt. Many of the small corporations which were delinquent in past years no longer are operating in the state Commissioner Brown said
 In the Cotton Belt case the United States Supre Court upheld the va lidity of the l. anchise tax act The Cotton Belt declined to pay the1taX the first year and suit was immediate ly filed by Hal Norwood. then attor- ney general. The original suit sought to collect the franchise tax of slight ly more than $60O0, plus the penalty of 25 per cent. The Pulaski Circuit Court awarded the state judgment for the full amount plus interest at per cent The railroad took the suit to the Arkansas Supreme Court, where the Judgment was affirmed, and an ap- peal to the United States Supreme Court granted.
 New suits have been filed each sue ceeding year since 1912, when the act became operative. The Cotton Felt each year has refused to pay the fran chise tax, a statement of which was furnished by the Arkansas Tax Com mission.
 No other corporation doing business fin the state has ever opposed payment of the tax.

Taken Prisoner, Locked up
in his own House, Sunday.

]. B. Eygabroad was taken captive
on Little ST. German, Sunday morn
ing and held a prisoner in his home
for most of the day before being re-
leased. What seems to be the most
correct version Of the affair, is that
the Eygabroads had been getting
ready last week to put up their ice
and had the scraping and blowing all
done ready to start filling Monday.
Sunday morning after breakfast, they
happened to look out on the lake and
discovered large crew busy taking
ice from the space they had just fin
ished getting ready to use for their
own purposes. This aroused the Ma
jor's martial spirit in double quick
time and he grabbed a loaded rifle and
sailed out to defend his rights, he
hadn't much more than reached the
disputed ground, when he was sur
rounded by dozen husky fellows led
by Jack Hunter, of the Log Cabin re-
sort, and ordered to 'sdrop that gun,
and he done so, one of the gang then
taking possession of it, being afraid
the old man might hurthimself with
it, He was then gagged and blind
folded and carried back to the house
placed in a comfortable room and
locked in, Mrs. Eygabroad, was APP
pointed jailer and instructed by Mr.
Hunter, to keep him there that day
or until he and the other neighbors,
had finished with the ice ''bee." AL.
though pretty mad at time OF cap
ture, the Major Gained down rapidly
after being released and discovered
that the ice house was filled though
he says he will get even with Hun
ter, the chief instigator, if it takes
all summer.

Using the country, in order to Sc

erous and equal distribution of state
fish fry, than has been accorded in
the past.
