HIGHER. PASSENGER
RATE BILL FAVORED
House Committee Recommends
Bland Measure for = 1-2
Cent Fare.

Little Rock, March 3-The house
committee on public service corpora
lions Monday night decided to re-
port favorably the bill by Representa-
tive Bland, to fix the passenger rates
on Arkansas railroads more than 125
miles in length at 2 IL cents per
mile, instead of cents, now pro-
yided by the state law. The bill was
championed by a number of speakers,
particularly by Representative Yer
ger of Chicot, who urged that it's
passage would make more equitable
conditions for both capital and labor
in Arkansas; that large portion of
the people who use the railroads
most frequently have asked even for
three-cent rate, and that the meas
ure would be a reasonable compro
mise and make more favorable i'm
preston with capital abroad.
Two other bills affecting railroad
rates, by Senators Cabiness and Nc
Call, and providing for a possible
three-cent rate for passenger fares on
the Jonesboro, Lake City and East
ern railroad and the Memphis, Dallas
& Gulf railway, also were endorsed
by the committee.
The bill by Mr.. Johnson, to fix the
rates of the street car company oper-
ating in Fort Smith and Van Buren,
and between those cities, was report
ed unfavorably, as was the bill by Mr..
Cazort, asking for a change in train
service on the Denning cutoff of the
Iron Mountain in Johnson and Frank
lin counties.

HOUSE DEFEATS NEW
PRIMARY ELECTION Law
Bill Prepared by ). Brundidge and
Others Turned Down by Vote
of so to IL.

Little Rock, March 3.-The house
Tuesday morning, by a vote of Al
TO so, defeated the bill by Senator
Moore, providing for a new primary
election law. After its defeat a mo-
ton was made to reconsider the
vote by which it had failed to pass
and lay that motion on the table,
which was done, meaning that it
will be impossible to again take up
the consideration of the bill at this
session, as this would require a
two-thirds vote.
The bill had been amended in the
house in several regards, one of the
amendments cutting out the provis-
ion for a mandatory uniform primary
election date. Others had changed
the bill to make it effective Jan. l +,
1916. instead of Immediately; to
strike out the provision for an in
terruption in the continuous count
after the polls closed; striking out
the section giving the circuit judge
authority to summary try a coun-
tv clerk on the complaint of an cleo
tor that the said clerk had not dis.
charged his duties under the law.
and making other minor changes.
Speaker Sawyer urged that in
striking out the provision for man
datory primary the merit of the bill
had been killed and that he saw no
use in encumbering the statutes with
the remainder of the bill. The main
thing the people needed, in his judg-
ment. was the uniform primary date,
prohibiting persons of one political
persuasion from voting at or inter-
fering with the primaries of other
political parties.
Mr.. Brawner attacked the provis-
ions of the bill which made 1T a mis-
demeanor for persons to vote at any
primary except their own, saying
that this practice aad heretofore
been encouraged, and that it would
be a travesty on justice for the dem
ocratic party, as the dominant politi-
cal body, to sanction a law now Civ
ing the right to throw a person in
Jail for voting out of his party, espe-
cially when there are so many things

duced from the $4,000 asked, to $500.
Instead of a general reduction in
the state highways department as
was anticipated, the salary of the as
sistant engineer was boosted from
$4,000 to $4,000, and though the sal
airy of four clerks was cut out two
of these were later replaced, and the
only reduction was in cutting off
$1,000 from the postage fund.
From the state board of health APP
preparation $3.50 for recording
clerk in the bureau of vital statis-
tics and $3.50 for travelling expenses
of the state board of health were
taken. The mileage and per diem for
the trustees of the charitable insti-
buttons was reduced from $40, 900 to
$4,000.
By oversight the blue sky depart
ment of the state banking office was
left out, and $4,000 was added for
this purpose, as well as $27,2S0 for
interest on the sinking fund.
Commissioner ]. c. Clary of the
labor department came into the SEN
ate chamber and announced to sew
eral senators that he had summarily
discharged his deputy and asked that
$4,000 be placed in his maintenance
fund for stenographer hire. This
was not done, but he was allowed
$1,000. The tax commission was also
given back the amount taken from
it's printing fund.
In this form the committee of the
whole reported the bill back to the
senate with the recommendation that
lit do pass"
The senate also considered in a
committee of the whole, the appro-
priation for the medical college of
the university of Arkansas, which
went through unchanged. The APP
preparation for the maintenance of
the tuberculosis SanatOrium suffered
only one reduction, a $500 item for
road work.
The Futrell bill creating Johnson
Creek drainage district No. 2, and
the Gray bill amending the Independ-

Kindred Feelings.

Addressing the Kansas editors on
the subject, wooden Legs" F. L..
Vandegrift said that every man who
has wooden leg has an uncontrolla-
BILE desire to fraternize with other
men who have wooden legs. Once
when he was sitting in park at Las
Vegas four men, strangers to one an
other, entered. All had wooden legs.
They got together, and in five min
utes were trying on one another's
legs. Two of them traded. A man
he met had all the battles he had
fought painted on his wooden leg.
Another painted his wooden leg in
deep mourning when his wife died.
A friend of his uses his cork leg as
life preserver when bathing; an
other utilities his as a propeller. A
vain man he met had his wooden leg
tattooed. In San Francisco
wooden-legged friend showed Mr..
Vandegrift national magazine pub
lished in the interests of wooden legs
called the Wooden Leg. BY means
of this publication men all over the
world traded wooden legs by paying
for want ads in it. Mr.. Vandegrift
once knew a man who had seven
wooden legs, one of them for Sun
day.-Kansas City Star.

to enter into the determination of
Just when man is violating his par
ty faith. He favored a new primary
law, but opposed a provision of this
kind.
Mr.. Rorex opposed the section of
the bill requiring all primary cleo
tons to be held on a certain date,
urging that the split primary pro
hibits candidates for county office
from running Tor office ION the coat
tails of state candidates He had
other objections to the bill.
Mr.. Rogers of Desha objected par
ticularly to what he termed the pro-
visions of the bill allowing circuit
judges to decide party politics. and
permitting circuit judges Ito name
party tickets" He declared that the
courts have already held that the
chancery courts have no jurisdiction
in political contests because the
questions involved are not those of
property rights, or anything more
than a certificate of nomination to
an office, and that the tenor of the
bill presumed that members of cen
trail committees, selected by the peo-
pie of the party, were less honest
than circuit judges"
Mr.. Johnson asserted that the pro-
vision in the original bill, giving the
circuit judge the right to ''summari-
ly discharge constitutional officer
without jury trial, showed that the
minds of the trainers of the bill
were running wrong" and that it
would be extremely unsafe to en-
trust the fate of all the officers of
the state to the one-man judgment
of circuit court, without jury rial
in contest cases. -
Mr.. Dowdy made the principal
argument for the bill, reviewing what
he termed the history leading up
to the bill itself and following the
last state democratic convention. He
declared that the purposes of the
bill was to correct possible abuses
in primary elections by giving the
contestants standing in court, where
they have none now" He said that
the main object of the bill was to
make it possible to bring these con-
tests in the courts; that the former
rulings excluding contests from the
courts had been made because the
law did not reach far enough, and
that this defect had been cured in
the proposed law. drawn by Messrs.
Brundidge, Hill, Stayton, McRae,
Hays and others, as the result of a
resolution of the state democratic
convention.

SMALL SENSATION IN
THE SENATE YESTERDAY
Deputy Labor Commissioner McMa-
hon Discharged Because of His
Conduct Toward SolOns.

Little Rock, March 2-Whittling
here and there almost all day, the
senate cut $42,692 from the general
appropriation bill Monday, then eth
er put back items or made other
changes until the appropriation ex-
ceeded the bill originally introduced
by s1,1SS. The appropriation recon-
mended by the budget committee ex-
ceeded that of 1913 for all depart
ments of the state government by
100000, it calling for an expendi-
ture of $S14,360.
In the forenoon session, by remov
ing a clerk from the office of the
state auditor, another from the office
of the secretary of state, cutting
1892 from the auditors printing
fund, $4,000 from the printing fund
of the state superintendent of pub
lie instruction, as we'll as $500 from
the postage fund, and $500 from
two travelling expense funds, the APP
preparation had been reduced by $21,
047.
The afternoon session began by
taking a typewriter appropriation of
SIS and $1,000 from the printing fund
of the tax commission. No change
was made in the treasurer's apprO-
priation, and the travelling expense
fund of the railroad commission was
increased $1,000 because the bill
pending to prevent them from accept
ing free railroad transportation is
expected to become a law. The his
tory commission items were all
adopted. and an additional allowance
of $3.50 for travelling expenses as
we'll.
Then came the big item of the aft
ernoon, or of the week, ending in the
discharge of NJ j. Mcmahon as dep
uty labor commissioner and the re-
duction of the $4,000 maintenance
item of this department from $4,000
to $500. The first item in this APP
preparation was $4,000 salary for the
deputy commissioner. Senator Great
house asked what were the duties of
this official, and Deputy Mcmahon,
who happened to be in the senate
chamber, walked up in front of SEN
tor Greenhouses seat and said some
thing to him. Senator Greathouse
called for the sergeant at arms, de-
claring that the official had insulted
him. A minute later Deputy McMa-
hon was on the stand beside Senator
Bush, who was in the chair presid-
ing over the senate as committee of
the whole, and asked to make an adj
dress to the senate. Senator Moore
of Phillips stopped him and order
ed Mcmahon down. A motion was
then made to strike from the appro-
priation the salary of the deputy, but
as its was admitted that the motion
was aimed at the man and not at the
office. it was defeated. The main
tenance of the office was then re-
