SPEAKS AGAINST
 BANK GUARANTY

Little Rock, July 6.-Representa- tive men from the different walks of life are addressing the Sunday after noon meetings of the Little Rock So- cialists This is to enable them to get the viewpoint of others upon ques- tions vitally effecting the public well fare.
 Yesterday afternoon George w. Rogers, cashier of the Bank of Com merce, addressed the local on the question of the bank guaranty act, which has been initiated, and which will be submitted to the people at the September election. The attendance, not only of Socialists but of business and professional men, was quite large and the speaker was given a most cordial hearing.
 Mr. Rogers said that the bankers are opposed to the bank guaranty act because it penalizes the good banks in support of the poorly, mismanaged banks. He said that it would be the same principal as to require the me chanics union to pay for the poor workmanship of the individual work man. The bank that is honestly and wisely conducted should not be re- quired to pay for the shortcomings of the bank that is badly managed.
 The speaker praised the present state banking act as law that is providing honest and just regulations for the banking institutions of the state, and declared that most of the objectors to it are already out of the business, or are going out.
 He said that Hon. R. s. Warnock of Magnolia, author of the proposed guaranty act, had invited him to joint discussion of the measure, but he declined to meet him.

PINCH SHOWER
 DAILY JULY RAIN
From Wednesdays Daily.


 One more day and it will be nine day wonder-this July, 1914, rainfall. This mornings season" which marked the eighth consecutive day on which rain has fallen at Conway, was the heaviest rain since May 4. Ac- cording to the government guage, the precipitation between 7 p. m. and ' a. m. was 2.O6 inches-an amount which is exactly double the total rainfall at Conway for the entire month of June. The rain continued for several hours after ' o'clock the regular time for reading the guage, and it is probable that todays precip- itation will exceed two and one-half inches.
 Although the rain fell more or less steadily for nearly 12 hours at Con- way, it was apparently net generally distributed over the county. A tele- phone report from Greenbrier says that practically no rain fell there this morning, and parties here from Lin der today said that farmers were blowing in all fields across the Cad ron. That section, however, had al ready been visited by good rains.

SETTLES
 FOR 1913 TAXES
COLLECTED OVER S9O, 900
AMONG FIRST COL LECTORS TO SETTLE WITH
 THE STATE.
From Wednesdays Daily

From Wednesdays Daily
 His annual settlement having been approved by County Judge J. w. Holt yesterday, Sheriff and Collector J. $. Johnson is today paying in the various state funds collected by him to State Treasurer J. w. Crockett and he will be among the first collectors in Arkan- sas to receive his quietus from State Auditor l.. l.. Coffman. Sheriff John son had already made an almost. com plete settlement of the state general revenue fund, having only about S7o balance due that fund. He took to Little Rock in cash, however, about S17OOO to be paid into the state school, pension and capitol funds.
 Yesterday afternoon he drew checks aggregating about $35,00O on the local banks in favor of County Treasurer J. H. Bailey in settlement of the taxes collected for district school and county road purposes. The general county tax had already been paid into the treasury in county scrip, prior to May II, when the scrip was called in 
 for reissue.
 The total collections of Sheriff Johnson on general property taxes aggregated in round numbers $91 1000. In addition to this he received about S15,OOO in assessments on the water works and sewer districts, of which he is also collector. The percentage of the assessed taxes which were col lected was 9756, slight reduction from the proceeding year, when the percentage was 97%. The total valu- ation upon which taxes were extended was $3,836,968, as compared with S3,- 6s5, 1922 the preceding year. The col lector's commission figured 2.437 per cent.
 After deducting the credits for er- roneous assessments, delinquents and collectors commissions, the net amounts due each fund are as follows:

CONVENTION FOR A
 NEW CONSTITUTION
THOUGHT LIKELY IN 1915
BELIEF IS GROWING THAT STATE CHARTER WILL BE
 REVISED SOON.

Little Rock, July 3.-The belief is growing stronger that constitution al convention will be held in the sum- mer of 1915, following the session of the legislature.
 It was recommended by the last Democratic state convention, the first time it has gotten that far, and the sentiment for it is rapidly crystaliz- ing.
 The department of education, which has been working for several months on an initiative petition for an amendment permitting an increase Tn the maximum levy for school pur- poses. to be voted on in the election of September, 1916, is undertaking to push the measure so that 1t will be possible to submit large petition to the constitutional convention, should one be called.
 The efforts of the people to ar rive at a more satisfactory basis of compensation for the members of the legislature is another reason for re- vision of the organic law. In 1912 an amendment was adopted limiting the sessions to 60 days, but this did not prove entirely satisfactory, and now the people have under consideration for the September election another amendment, submitted by the legisla- ture itself, placing the legislators up- on a biennial salary and permitting them to remain in session as long as they wish.
 Again, for the third time, the pro posed amendment removing the re- strictions against the issuance of mu- nicipal bonds is to be submitted to the people at the September election. Progressive business men agree that cities and towns should have the pow CT, when authorized by majority of the citizens, under proper restrictions and safeguards, to issue bonds for the purpose of making general public improvements. For that reason, the Greater Arkansas Association, repre- senting the cities, towns and commer- cial bodies of the state, are urging the adoption of Amendment No. IA.
 There are many subjects that come up at every session of the legislature that come within the scope of consti- tutional enactment, but under the law, only three amendments can be submitted at any one time, and this frequently illustrates the people in their desire to achieve needful legis- lation.
 All these and many other condi- tions make it almost certainty that a constitutional convention will be called, and should this be done, the greater part of the 12 months of 1915 will be spent in legislation in Little Rock. Should the legislative salary amendment prevail in September, the general assembly would not conclude it's work in two months, as it did last year, and soon after would fol- low the constitutional convention, which would take several months in all probability.
