The plan for, the rg6rg anization, of
state departments proposed by the
economy and efficiency commission
appointed by Governor :Eberhart was
discussed by Mr.. HAMMOND who said
that '"The high taxation OF today can
not continue, the expenditures must
be lessened, and here is rational and
well-thought-out plan to promote eff
cheney and economy He commended
the portion of the com missiofiers' re-
port urging civil service system,
but warned against the danger. of
creating an offceholding class. 1.-THE
inefficient, as we'll as the efficient,
claim life tenure Of office" he said.
''This may be avoided if at the very
beginning appointments in the civil
service are made-not for life, but for
a definite term Of 'years-say six
years: The efficient and capable
would be reappointed, while the
careless, Indifferent and inefficient
should not be reappointed."
Mr.. Hammond also: approved the
proposed budget System of making
appropriations.
Opposed to Use Of Veto.
Discussing the veto power, Mr..
Hammond pointed out. that the next
governor will deal with a nonpartisan
legislature. ''surely" he said,, IF
any representative body can be as
sumed to represent faithfully the SEN
tlment"of the state that body can.
Suppose a subject, for instance county
option, or a UNIVERSAL primary, with
which the people are fairly familiar,
is considered by this nonpartisan leg
.islature and bill covering it ap-
proved BY. both bodies; in such case
ought the governor-whatever his
own personal'views INLAY be--interpose
a Veto? I think not, The veto power
l:is:: intended to check hasty and ILL
considered action, or to @chaHenge q
measure unconstitutional or one in
volving radically change of policy
upon: which: the people have had mo

when the majority Of the people de-
Etern4ine upon any. matter of pubic
policy in, a way thatsEis not contrary
to- our, fundamental law, it is the duty
of all Legislative and executive Off
GERS to carry out the mandate of our
highest authority" -

Mr.. Hammond said. The Democratic

PICKING, China, Oct 2.-The cor
respondent here of the Associated
Press has received letter from
Charles A. Leonard of the American
Southern. Baptist mission at Lai-
Chinese reports of i'll treatment of
the local Inhabitants by Japanese
troops in the country are repeated.
Leonard relates the passage Of the
western section of the Japanese army,
which he says was about 5000 strong,
composed of calvalry, infantry and
artillery, and which went through
Lai-Chow. The advance guard of the
cavalry did not modest the Chinese
population, and compensated them
for what food they took. -
But when the larger detachnaents
arrived, torrential rains were falling;
For this reason the Japanese did not
pitch their tents, but entered the best
Chinese homes and compelled local
merchants and other Chinese to work
for. them. -, (
In many cases they, dried their wet
clothes by making fires OF the furni
ture in the middle of the room. The
men fed their horses ON. the .ripening
crops; and the soldiers killed chickens
and cattle for their: own: use,.: fire.

Leonard declares that ire Chinese
women, terrorized,: deserted their
homes. Five, he said, committed sui
eide, either to escape attacks by the
Japanese. or after. they had been at
tackled. -, '.'!:,

employees Of one Of the large laundries
here have ceased work because of the
dismissal of one Of the employees, a
member Of the union, who was a dele
gate to the meeting of the Interna-

It seems that the company took
advantage Of the situation, evidently
for the purpose of creating discord

CANDIDATES. MAY BE
LIABLE TO PENALTY
Candidates Who Insist on Running
Without Filing Pledge Under
Corrupt Practice Act May
be Liable to Penalty

The clerk who permits a candidate
for office to file his pledge under the
Corrupt Practices act less than thirty
days before the election will not be-
come criminally liable for it, but At
torney General Moose says that he as
not so certain about the candidate" ."
There is penalty provided for vio-
lation of any section of the act Judge
Moose continues:
at might be considered that the
candidate who insists on running with
out filing the pledge at least thirty
days before the primary has violated
the act, in which case he would be
liable to its penalty. The Act, how
ever, puts no duties upon the Secre-
tary of State, nor the county clerk,
nor the City Clerk, and if they ac-
cepted the pledge within 80 days, they
would not be guilty of any violation Of
the law"

SPORTSMEN SEEK AMEND
MENT TO REGULATIONS
Federal Law Protecting Migratory
Birds, Especially Ducks, Will Pro-
badly Be Amended. Want
Time Extended 30 DAYS

Little Rock, Feb. 17.-Sportsmen of
the state are seeking to secure an
amendment to the regulations of the
federal government regarding the
hunting of migratory birds, especially
ducks. Under the regulations now be-
ing enforced, the open season for
ducks is from Oct. l to Jan Is, and
the sportsmen desire to have it ex-
tended to Feb. Is, at least. The pro-
position has been taken up with the
members of Congress from this state
and they have been advised that no
change can be made that would help
the hunters any this year. All
changes in the regulations must be
published for three months in the ter
ritory affected, and then signed by
the President, before they become eff
fective.
Mr.. E. V. Visart, the federal game
inspector who looks especially after
migratory birds, says that the law is
being quite generally observed in the
state. Very little unlawful shooting
is reported, and all cases of violation
are promptly investigated.
"But some reports have recently
been sent out" said Mr.. Vassart,
that will get good men into trouble
Only last week some one telephoned
to Stuttgart that the federal law had
been declared invalid, and that it was
not to be enforced any more | heard
of it and went to Stuttgart, where
found number of men preparing to
go out shooting. | advised them that
the report was unfounded, and there
by saved them from law violation.
Il think the quail season is too long
1t was formerly Nov. to Feb. Is, but
it is now Nov. 1 to March l. The
month of November should be taken
out of the open season by all means,
for it is during that month that the
second crop of quails is most in need
of the parent bird think that three
months, December, January and Feb
ruary, would be a more desirable open
season. do not agree with the theo-
ry advanced by some that there should
be five year closed season, for that
would eXterminate Bob White. Many
hunters who will observe reasonable
closed season, would consider that un-
reasonable and would shoot the birds
indiscriminately. There should also
be bag limit The counties of Col
umbia, Lafayette, Grant and Carroll
have special law making the closed
season Feb / to Dec. 10, with a bag
! limit of ten birds.

This Amount is Required Before 1t
Can Receive Federal Aid. Up
Present Time Only $1,000
Has Been Subscribed

Little Rock, Feb: 1.-THE prospects
are that there will be a very full at
tendance of the officers of the Arkan-
sas National Guard at the meeting Of
the Association which President Prin-
gle has called for next Friday. The
purpose of the meeting is to discuss
the welfare OF the Guard
Contributions to the fund which is
being raised to take care of the expen-
ses of the Acknowledgements office,
and some other expenses not provided
for by the federal fund, are coming in
very slowly. Not less than $4,000 is
needed and up to the present time only
about 81 900 has been subscribed. Un-
less this amount is raised, to comply
with the requirements of the War De-
partment, the state will be unable to
secure the $4,000 that will otherwise
be available by July l..
The officers of the Guard have al
ready put in their requisition for $20,-
600 worth of supplies, consisting
chiefly of clothing and ordnance
stores, to come out of the $65,O00 fund
that is now available This requisi-
ton has been honored, and the sup
plies will soon be received for the
