 in City Limits.

With an object of seeking fur ther sources of revenue for the city, the council now has a measure be- fore them that will place q tax or 50 cents on each telegraph, tele- phone and electric light pole in the city.
 The ordinance was presented at the regular meeting this month, and after being read the first time, the rules were suspended and the ordi- nance placed on second reading. The ordinance is expected to become a law at the next meeting of the coun- cil as very little opposition has de- veloped to the measure.
 There are some 3 ) or 40 telegraph poles within the city limits, and the tax on them alone will bring into the city treasury quite sum, and with the addition of some 900 or 400 poles of the telephone company, and between f50 and 175 of the light company, q sum l. $500 will go to- wards aiding i'll financing the city

DOCTORS GAN COMBINE. Attorney General Says May Fix
 Price for Services
Price for Services

Little Rock, Ark, Feb 6.-That physicians of Arkansas have the right to combine for the purpose of fixing a price to be paid by individuals to them for professional services, is the belief of Attorney General w. l.. Moose in an opinion rendered to T. B.. Frair of Appleton, Ark.
 The opinion, which is very interest ing, because of the facts which it brings out, is as follows:
 - have received yours of the 2nd inst, in regard to the agreement en- tered into between the physicians in your neighborhood, by which they undertake to fix the prices of pro fessional service. You ask on behalf of your neighbors and friends whether that agreement is a violation of the antitrust laws of the state
 That part of the act which would apply to this case, if it would apply at all, undertakes to prevent any combination to fix the price of any article of manufacture, mechanism merchandise commodity, convenience repair, any product of mining. or any article or thing whatsoever
 "The supreme court of this state, in the case of the state vs. Chicago, Rock Island X Pacific Railway Com. pahy. 9 Arkansas, page 1l4, held that the act did not include com blnation between railroads to fix the price Of carrying passengers and freight, because it was not included within the meaning of any of the words quoted above law as contended by the attorneys for the state that IL might be included within these words or any article or thing whatsoever, but the court held that any article or tGino whatsoever meant any article or thing whatsoever of the same na- tare as the articles specified in the first part of the clause In other words. that it meant some article of manufacture, mechanism, merchan- i SC. commodity, convenience, repair or product of mining.
 Tt seems to me. therefore, that if the railroads may combine for the pur- pose of fixing the price to be paid for carrying freight and passengers, the physicians should be allowed to com bine for the purpose of fixing the price to be paid for professional ser vices

SENATOR CLARKE IN SPRING.
 DALE.

On account of the hour at which The News went to press last week We were unable to give much To cai color to Senator Clarke's visit to Springdale He spoke Thursday afternoon at the Majestic Theatre. and notwithstanding the smallpox scare kept many away, he was given an excellent hearing Dr. John Young who has been quite III for some time past was able to be out and introduced Senator Clarke in a very complimentary manner Music was furnished by the Springdale Merchants Band
 \ synopsis of Senator Clarke's speech was printed in last week s issue. If you have not yet read It, look up the paper and do SO It shows clearly what Senator Clarke has accomplished since he has been in the Senate and the prominence he has attained in the councils of the administration position which 1t would take years for new man to reach, even if he had the neees- sary ability. He explained to the thorough satisfaction of all the charge brought against him by his opponent that he had voted with the Republicans, and showed in each instance his vote was later endorsed by the party Senator Clarke also laid bare the record of Judge Kirby, who has, all through his legislative career. consistently opposed every effort to do justice to the old Confederate soldiers and their widows, and how any old Con- federate soldier can vote for Judge Kirby after knowing his course is beyond comprehension. Judge Kir by's record on the road question is also such as is not calculated to ap- Deal to the average vcter. in that he favors warning out young men and property owners and mak- ing them work the roads instead of working them by taxing the owners of property who would be most bene- fitted
 Senator Clarke was well pleased with his reception in Springdale, and there is no doubt but what he strengthened his cause here On account of a severe cold and ex- tremely bad weather he was forced to cancel his appointment for Gosh en Thursday night, and Friday at Huntsville and Huntsville. going from here to Eureka Springs. We understand he will visit Madison County later on.
 Henry c Mccain, candidate for State Auditor, and W. B. Owen. can didate for State Land Commissioner, were also in Springdale Thursday and announced their candidacy pre- eeding the address of Senator Clarke.

POLL TAX FOR 1912
Necessary to Have This to Vote In
 Primary.

Little Rock, Ark, Feb, 6.-Per- sons who did not pay their poll tax for 1912 will not be eligible to vote in the primary for United States sena- tor and state officers on March p, 1914, according To an opinion render ed by Attorney General Moose to Judge J. B Thompson at Marion, Ark
 Judge Thompson inquired if per son who paid his poll tax for 1913 be tween now and the time of the elec- ton on March 9. would be allowed . vote. Attorney General Moose held that he would not, as the Arkansas su- preme court has held that the voter must have paid the poll tax during the taxpaying time that had expired next before the time of the election.
 As the time for paying the l9I poll taxes does does not expire until April 10, 19l4, no one who has not paid his 1912 poll tax can vote in the primary. He can, however, vote in the general election of September, according 10 Judge Moose as the time for collecting the 1913 tax will then have expired

EDISON COMING.
Great Inventor to Visit Northwest
 Arkansas

Little Rock. Ark. Feb. 9.-Some- time in the spring Arkansas Is to entertain Americas foremost inventor Thomas A Edison having accepted the invitation of officials of a New York company which has heavy in- terests in this state. to spend week in the vicinity of Rogers
 Mir Edison Is interested with number of New Workers, in lighting and other plants in smaller towns of the state, but 1t is hardly probable that he will come to Arkansas to in- spect them. It is supposed that he is coming to take a look at the ra dium fields of Benton county Of which he has heard much.
 Arrangements will be made to go immediately into the woods from Rogers, and camp will be pitched on White river, vhere the famous in- yentor may spend a portion of his time in fishing. as well as in research The guests in the party will be limit. ed, but several in Little Rock have been invited 10 join the party.
 J. w. Gilcrist of Fairfield, Iowa. is here for visit with his cousin D. II King, residing south of town Mr Gilerist is more than eighty years of age. and will probably spend some time here.
