He further stated that a majority of the merchants in Springdale were against voting bonds for waterworks, and that the farmer citizenship living on the outskirts Of the town would not be in favor of bonds, for the reason that their taxes would be increased.
 Wilson Cardwell, another citizen present, took the GOT, and in a talk of some fifteen minutes advanced the i'd a, and in forceful terms, that the Council should cal an election, and let the blame fall where it may. If the people of Springdale want water works" said MT. Cardwell, "let this administration give them a chance to say so, by calling an election. On the other hand,' he stated, "if they are against waterworks give them an opportunity to say so, and the blame will then rest with the people. and the present administration will not be criticised ''

OUR LITTLE
 ROCK LETTER
M. NJ Collier.)

Little Rock, Feb. 20.-Mr Jones of Washington, introduced in the house this week bill to provide a method Of assessing notes and mortgages and making such instruments of credit null and void unless presented to the assessor for his valuation and stamp. Mir Buchanan introduced a bill which passed the house providing for an official court stenographer for the fourth judicial circuit Senator Greathousa had passed by the senate, a bill providing for a deputy county judge when an incumbent becomes ineapaeitated.
 The house has held two night ses- sions this week for the consideration Of local bills mad a great amount Of work has been done. The present predicament of the house members is that they cannot get enough gener- al roll calls to adynace some needed general legislation. Matters that will soon come Up for final disposi- ton are: to pay Joseph NJ. Hill S25,- |0)0 for services in fighting the rate cases; extending the time of paying taxes fthis is not likely to pass) i; Moore primary bill; consolidation of s ate and national elections; the rae- ing bill; and a state game law which taxes active bird dogs.
 Both houses have agreed to meas ures as follows: to have a marble statue of the late U N. Rose placed in the house of representatives of the United States; creating the Northwest Arkansas cattle tick dis trict; creating a state board of vet erinary examiners; and prohibiting any person but the state treasurer receiving money belonging to the state. A measure of local interest was signed by the governor Satur- day afternoon, prohibiting the ship

 A measure that seeks to get more property on the tax books, will be in- troduced early next week and pro- vides a minimum penalty of sl0 for f1ilure to assess. This will catch those who having no property fail U assess for poll, and large property owners who prefer to pay the $l penalty charged against them fol failure to assess and the extent of their property is never correctly as certained. The penaty will be grad uated and the prosecuting attorneys will be given a fee for prosecutions.
 There is much discussion among the members of the legislature as to the expenditures and force main timed in the various state depart ments and the educ tional institu- tions. This will reach the climax next week when all the appropriation will be consid "ed. An effort will be made to retrench.
 The appropriation for the Pacific Panama Exposition $40, 900 having previously passed the senate came before the house Friday afternoon and after some debate passed the house by majority vote but not by two thirds. The speaker declared the bill passed and a member object ed to the ruling. An opinion will be asked as to the legality of the rul- ing, from the Attorney General. The statement of the Governor as to this appropriation is as follows: "At the time the sight was selected and the building erected there was not the stagnation Of business caused by the war in Europe and had this depres. sion exist d there would not have been any attempt made to make { display there.
