 Li''Ie Roek.-Practieing physicians m Arkansas can combine to flv inc prices they shall charge for profes- slohal services, says Attorney General W. l.. Moose, in an opinion handed |. B. Friar of Appleton. He bases 'Is opinion upon an interpretation, of the law which permits the railroads to e'2blne and fix their rates.
 he opinion follows:
 Lave received yours of the 2d ihst.' iA regard to the agreement enter cd Into between physicians of yon1 fet%hhorhood, by which they under. take to fix the prices of professional services. You ask on behalf of your he;eAbors and friends whether that agreement is violation of the anti trust laws of the state.
 That part of the act which would appl' to this ease, if it would apply at all, undertakes to prevent any combin- Ea'iGn to fix the price of any article Ct manufacture, mechanism. merchaH- dlse. commodity, convenience repair. any product of mining. or any article or thing whatsoever.
 The Supreme Court of this state Tn the case of the State vs. Chicago.

In other words, that .i meant sc1ne article of mdruflctGrc, machar- Ism, merchandise, commodity. .onYeDi- eLce, repair or pr',LIet Of mining
 Fl seems to mo. ,hercfora, that # 'le railroads may comhiEc 'or he pur- Jose of fixing inc price 10 be paid for carrying freight and passengers, the Fl ysicians should ae allowed to con- hine for the purpoS If fixing the price 70 be paid for professional services. ."

Western Nr,yspaper Union News Service
 Little Rock-Attorney General w. L. Moose in an opinion written for Judge ]. B. Thompson of Marion. holds that no one is entitled 10 vote at the approaching Democratic pri- mary election but those persons who paid their poll tax last year
 T beg leave to state," writes MT. Moose. that the Supreme Court has ruled that person must have paid the poll tax during the taxpaying time that had expired next before the time of the election. In other words, if the person had paid his poll tax for 1912, he would be entitled to vote in the primary in March. But the time for paving poll taxes for 1913 will not expire until April 10. 1914. so the person could not say that he had paid his poll tax at the time Of collecting taxes next preceding the election. because the time for paying taxes for this year will not have ex- pired at the date of the primary. At the general election in September it would be sufficient for person to present luis poll tax receipt for the year 1913, because when that election takes place the taXpaying time for 1915 will have expired Therefore it is my opinion that unless the person shall have paid his poll tax for 1912 he would not be qualified to vote in the primary of March 25."

ALRSHIPS MAY WIN

Although the oids favor the aeropIano for the first fltEh, across the Atlantic, there is still a chance that big, drtgtbIe bal- loon may be the first air craft 10 make tho voyage from Europe to America or from America to Europe. It is an issue between speed on one side and power o. sustained flight on the other.
 A French army balloon has been kept in the air for more than 55 hours, at the height of about d mile annd a half No special ellor, was made to set a speed record the only goal sought being aura- uon of flight. Bu- many times big dirigibles have been driven at the rate of 50 miles an hour -or more, with favorable winds. Some instances have much exceeded chat pace.
 If an airsblp could start ror Europe when strong west winds were blowing steadily 1t might average 50 miles au hour for @' hours. If that were done the distance covered would be 1.51. miles, or just about enough Co cross the ocean from Newrouua- land to Ireland.
 So the airship is not yet ou. o. the competition for the fame O. the first flight across the Atlantic. An average speed of 50 miles ~u hour for 85 hours would get ta. same results that am oerop.ana driven more than 100 miles ana hour fer IT hours would give
