Judsonia weekly advance., 1915-10-13

NotWlLnSJanulng much publicity Was given the statewide prohibition act passed by the last Legislature, it is evedent that many people in Arkan- saS are still of the opinion that the Going law is the only statute in force on the liquor question. While the Going law was not repealed by the Newberry act, but made cumulative, no petitions for the sale of intoxicat- ing liquors can be presented to coup- ty courts from and after January 1,
 '916.
 The act passed by the last Legisla- ture prohibits the issuance of licenses by any county judge, city council Q: any representative thereof to manu- lecture. sell, barter or give away in toxicating liquors of any kind any
 where within the State of Arkansas. Section 2 of the act provides the law shall take effect January 1, 1916. Sec ton provides that violations of tue act shall constitute a felony punish able by Imprisonment in the stare penitentiary. Courts are not permitted to suspend sentence or permit plea Of guilty to be entered and continue the case for @, second offense. Section l makes the act cumulative to all liquor laws in force at the time the act was passed
 The Turner-Jacobson bill passed by the Arkansas Legislature several years ago and defeated by the voters of the state when it was submitted un- der the initiative and referendum amendment to the state constitution at the time Joe T. Robinson and Gov. Donaghey were seeking the guberna- torial nomination, will very likely be revived as an issue in Arkansas poll tics in the near future.
 The bill was drafted under the sr-
 pervision of David A. Gates, who at
 that time was chairman of the Arkan-
 sas tax commission, now deputy Unit ed States internal revenue commis- sioner in Washington, and was ,le- signed to meet past and present finan- cial conditions in this state.
 The suit to test the governors ve- toes was brought by John H. Page, commission 9r of mines, manufactures 1 and agriculture, against State Audi
 tor M. F. Dickinson. It asked that warrant for $10 on the postage fund l appropriated for the Department of I Mines, Manufactures and Agriculture,
 ol-.t the allegation that the item was
 not legally. vetoed through the failure
 of the governor to file with the secre- tary of state a proclamation setting i forth his reasons for the veto. Items l totaling approximately S600,000 were vetoed by Governor Hays in the same | manner. The state alleges that pro- l clamation is not required where only
 part of all appropriation bill is ve- 1 toed.
 Sergt. Henry Fredeman, U. s. A, l captain quartermaster assigned to the l Arkansas National Guard, returned
 from Fort Totten, near New York city, where he was retired from the ser vice after 30 years in the army. Al 1 though on the retired list, he will con- l tinue his duties in the Guard in the 1 office of Maj. w. c. Bradford, adju 1 tant. Sergeant Fredeman enlisted in l the army at the age of IT and has
 served through several Indian cam paigns, the Spanish-American war and l Philippine revolt, the Boxer uprising

 the State Highway Commission. The l nap will be "A by 30 inches, and will | show the kind of material in the i roads, the roads under construction
 and those surveyed. Approximately | G,500 miles of road of which 1900 are
 constructed will be shown. The map
 will be completed within two weeks | In the case of the Frisco against the 1 Arkansas Railroad Commission the
 court held that the order of the con- l mission requiring the road to build an ] Interchange track with the Kansas l City and Memphis at Fayetteville was not valid because the petition asking 1 for the order did not contain the
 names of 15 bona fide citizens. Governor Hays issued deficiency
 proclamation authorizing the State 1 Highway Commission to spend $5,000 ! for preliminary surveys and estimates on proposed roads. The amount will i be sufficient to survey the 650 miles 1 for which requests have been received,
 according to State Highway Engineer 1 Hugh E. Carter
