BOND AMENDMENT
 ADVOCATES MEET
HALL IN LITTLE ROCK JUNE 24.
MANY MAYORS SIGN CALL
but Failed Because of Legal Complication.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
 Little Rock-If the city officials and commercial organization of the state respond. there will be a large conven- ton here on June 24 to boost the in terests of Amendment No. II. the municipal bond amendment.
 Invitations have been extended to the 125 commercial organizations Of the state and the officials of the three hundred cities and owns to send representatives 10 the meetings. The invitation is siened by the off cers of the Arkansas Young Mems Chamber of Commerce, the Little Rock Board of Trade, the Little Rock Chamber of CoG..s.erc and the Young Mems Chamber of Commerce of Little Rock. as we'll as by the following mayors Charles . TaY,or of Little Rock, Henry C. Read of Fort smith. simon Bloom of Pine Bluff. | N. Nc Clendon of Hot Strings. lanes r. Faucette of Argenta. Hugh Martin of Helena. Thomas Burress of Jonesboro. Herbert NJ. Jackson of Paragould, and John p. Kline of Texarkana.
 It will be remembered that an amendment was proposed in 1912 says the letter of invitation. and vot- ed on at the general election that year, which would have given to the people of the cities and towns similar rights to those provided by the pres ent amendment. The present proposed amendment, however, in the opinion Of it's friends, is better measure than the other one, in that it is more care fully restricted and safe-guarded The proposed amendment voted on two years ago was carried by majority of 23 000 of the votes cast on the sub iect. Sixty-one counties gave maiori- ties favoring the proposed amendment and there was no question in the minds of of it's friends. of it's adoption hut the Supreme Court later declared the proposed amendment imperative because five amendments had been submitted. when in the oninion of the court only three could properly be submitted. As the proposed bond amendment was the fifth in point of time to be submitted. it and one other amendment were set aside by this de cision."
