Senator Lundy, in advocating an amendment ts a telephone rate bill in the Senate to prohibit city officials from accepting free telephone service, said:
 When a man accepts a city office he should pay to ride on street cars and pay for his telephone out of his salary. If he can't afford it on the salary he receives, he should give up the job. It is unfair and a graft to tax the people higher rates to pay for the free service extended city off, ctals. The city should pay for the telephones used in it's offices and de- partments, and the company should pay for it's franchise"

new bill affecting the coal mining industry, operators and miners, has been introduced in the house at the instance Of State Mine Inspector Thomas H. Shaw, as substitute for the bill introduced several weeks ago by Representative Johnson of Sebas- tion county. The Johnson bill, it is understood, has been looked upon with disfavor by the House Committee on Mines and Mining, a rather strenuous hearing having been held on the bill before that committee. The coal ope. rators were particularly opposed 10 the measure, declaring it entirely too drastic. The new bill, according to State Mine Inspector Shaw, is for the purpose of restoring to the inspector
 the rights given him under the act of 1893, but which were subsequently, re pealed, by implication, in the act Of 1905 governing the operation of mines.

The first installmenL of the joint
 committees report on the audit of the
 Departments of State was made in the
 house and Senate Thursday afternoon
 covering the investigation of the De-
 partment of Land, Highways and Im-
 proyements The report makes s~.
 rious charges against the conduct Of
 the affairs of the Department.
 w. B. Owen, state land commis-
 sioner, said subsequently, that the re- port does not properly reflect condi-
 tions in his department and emphat- ically denies all charges of irregulari- ty that had been made by the commit
 tee. He said there mad been no mis- use of funds and that the rock crusher
 has been run at a profit to the state rather than as at loss as charged by
 the committee.
 It is charged that it has been the
 custom of the department:
 "To receive money on state accounts
 for services and matters pertaining to that department contrary to law. This disobedience of the law absolutely de stroys an accounting and checking system, their own books being the on-
 " evidence we have of part of the money received by the department The committee assumes that all
 moneys belonging to the state have been accounted for, but it has no way to verify this assumption"
 aI,o hot tbn
 partment spent S1,27575 for an auto mobile, "in defiance of law and with
 out precedent in our state govern ment."
 It is also charged that from Novem- ber 1913, to January 31, 1915, the sum
 of S64031 was expended for gasoline and S67575 for automobile repairs out of the rock crusher fund. This" says
 the committee, illustrates the fact that automobiles are expensive" They find further sum of s9S6.11 for auto
 mobile expenses making total of S2,- 30307, which we leave without fur ther comment"
 It is charged that all but s5.41 has been expended of an appropriation of $1 ,250 in 1913 to pay the per diem and travelling expenses of the highway commission In addition the commis- sion drew from another appropriation for the same purpose the sum of s. 40267, which they alleged was "con- trary to law" Attention is called to
 a trip made by members of the Com
 mission to Good Road Convention at Atlanta, at a cost of S1,17705. "This l trip says the report, cost the State
 of Arkansas about S100 a day. What good was done by the trip is not stat ed and your committee is not specif- oally advised"
 It is charged that the rock crusher account shows a loss to the state Of i $11.17680. Charges were also made that during the year 1915 to date 43 official or free automobile tags have l been issued, clear loss of $10 each to
 the state. whereas there is no au- 1 thority in law permitting the issuance
 of free tags to any person, anywhere, at any time. The committee submits that such conduct is unjustifiable, con tFary to law, and gross abuse of power" The committee says the commissioners responsible for their is- suance should be made to repay the state the amount thus lost

IN CALDWELL LAST WEEK
Thomas Norris Ordered to Leave
$500 on Banks of Indian Creek.

Thursday evening of last week The
Tribune was notified that the sheriff S

home. The arrest was not made and
has not been made.
1t is said that Thomas Norris. an
old and respected citizen of Caldwell,
had received letter notifying him to
leave $4,000 on the banks of Indian
Creek Thursday night or he would be
killed. On the advice of the sheriff S
officer Mr. Norris deposited a pack

note explaining that he did not have
the money in cash but would try to
find it. The sheriff had his trusted
Mccullough, we'll supported, on the
works but the blackmailers failed to
call for the package. The sheriff is
keeping a close watch on all black
mailers in the city and he will I'M
doubtedly get this one in the course
of time.
