MAYORS WANT LAW
 PROVIDING REVENUE
MUNICIPALITIES DEPRIVED OF SALOON LICENSE REVENUE
 WANT SUBSTITUTE SOURCE.
PLANS BEING PERFECTED
ii Is Estimated That the Prohibition Bill Will Reduce Revenue
 $225, 5,0o0
Little Rock

The mayors of some of the larger Arkansas cities are confronted with the task of securing some sort of leg lslation to make up the deficit in rev enue that will be caused by the state wide prohibition act, and attorneys TOW are engaged in working out a plan to make up this loss of revenue,
 Among the suggestions that have been made is that of a graduated in come tax on incomes above $1,500 a year, an occupation tax with a low maximum and special assessment against city property. If a bill is drafted it will specify that only one such plan can be used
 These three plans were considered In a conference of mayors the other day but nothing definite regarding them has been done. The mayors of the cities affected are waiting for fur ther information from the attorneys.
 The plans that have been proposed to submit to the legislature do not take up in detail the manner of levy ing the tax or other details of the proposition. These will be left to the cities to work out in case the legisla- ture authorizes them to levy the spe- eial taxes.
 It is estimated that the prohibition law will reduce the revenue in Little Rock $80,000 per year, Argenta $2G,- 900, Fort Smith $35,000 and Hot Springs, Helena and Pine Bluff about s30,000 each.

Three bills are pending in the As

Three bills are pending in the As sembly for the creation of a Publicity Utility Commission, one in the house, introduced by MT. Williamson of Ben- ton, which Is copy of the bill 1ntro- duced in the Senate by Senator John R. Duty, and one by Senator George F. Jones of Pulaski All are pat termed after the Missouri bill, though the Jones bill, prepared in the office Of Attorney General w. l.. Moorse, elects the commissioners, while the Duty ana Williamson bills makes the commits sioners appointive by the governor.
 The railroads are divided in thetr support of these bills, some declaring the very existence of the corporations is attacked, while others declare that 1t is their salvation. The railroads claim the commission should have the right to pass upon dividends, which is a. joke at the present time, when only about ten per cent of the trunk line railroad business is done in Arkansas, and the rates on that are not sufficient to sustain the portion of the road which is in Arkansas. They further claim that the restrictions of the bill are such that it prevents a holding company from taking up the bonds of the railroads, and that improvements could never be made under these bills.
 Amendments are already being pre- pared to the Duty bill, eliminating electric light, water, gas and street railway companies from it's provisions, which will place the bill in a much more favorable attitude, both with the public utility corporations, but with the cities in which they operate. for the bill, as drawn, would take all franchise rights from the cities and towns of Arkansas and place it with the Commission

ASSEMBLY BUSHES

GOT DOWN TO HARD WORK AF TER THE LIQUOR FIGHT WAS
 OUT OF THE WAY.
NEW ELECTION REGULATION
"There Is Nothing in This Bill That Will Affect the Man Who Honestly
 Wins" Said Senator Futrell.
Little Rock

Ten days ago it appeared that the 1 Arkansas Legislature would close US fortieth session with considerable or the business unfinished, necessltatlng the calling of g. special session, but fears for this may be banished. AS soon as the liquor fight was out of the way the two branches of the leglsla- ture settled down to business, and the really important measures, excepting the appropriations, are already a long way toward adoption or rejection.
 The really most important of the bills so far considered is the election bill, prepared by the committee nam- ed by the State Democratic Conyen- tion. This bill has passed through the Senate with only one change, that being to place the primary back to the old date in March, it being preferable then to the May day picked by the committed The bill will not have easy sledding in the house however, for it was only showed through the Senate by the display of fight shown in it's favor by Senators J. M. Futrell and J. I. Moore. Repeated efforts were made to cut the vitals from the bill, but these two East Arkansas senators stood pat and declined to accept any thing that would lessen the effective ness of the measure.
 If you are for honest elections you fpr this hill ''
 There is nothing in this bill that will affect man who honestly wins his election"
 Under present conditions it is pos sible to steal elections and steal men. I warn you now that some day, some where, they will meet retribution which has been long coming to them. !"
 These terse statements of Senator Futrell did more to pass the bill than did the fact that it was prepared by committee from the State Democratic Convention, for the politicians on the floor declared the convention had never passed upon the bill, and conse- quently they were not bound by it.

 Wine growers of Arkansas face the destruction of their enterprise; con fiscation and absolute loss of their vineyards, farms and homes as a re- suit of the NeWberry statewide prohi- bition bill, according to Cral 4. StarGk, owner of the Vinola wines, Rogers, Ark.
 According to Mr Starck. virtually two-fifths of the lands of Benton county, in the northwest part of the state, are suited only for grape cul- ture and the use of these rough lands will be eliminated altogether if the provisions of the Newberry bill are carried out. crushing the winegrowing industry. Under the old law, enacted in 1899, the wine growing industry can eiXst, while the public is protected amply through the restrictions placed upon the growers providing penalties for violations. If the old act is re enacted, he declares, the vineyards of the state need not be torn out, while if the Newberry law is permitted to stand as enacted, profitable industry will be lost to the state MT. Starck points out that in the election in Ben ton county laat fall, while a majority of the voters cast their ballots for pro- hibtion, a hearty endorsement was given the proposal regulating the man. ufacture and sale of native wine.

A million dollar loan to take up the, states deficit and put Arkansas again on cash basis is proposed in a bill by Representative Griffin of Little Rock
 "The state is approximately mill lion dollars in debt" said MT Griffin, in discussing his bill, "or will be that much behind at the end of the fiscal year next June. This deficit is due to the lowering of the tax rate a num- Der of years ago, during which sub- sequent period we gradually ran be- hind at such an annual rate as to create the present deficit. The last legislature restored the old tax rate so that we are not now actually run ming behind. In fact the present tax rate, on our current assessment of property, will run about $27,000 an- nually in excess of the necessary ex- penses of state government
 "The only problem, therefore, is to take care of this million dollar deficit. That once cleared, we can continue on Q cash basis without raising the tax rate. On basis of 15 years at ap- proXimately quarter of a mill levy for sinking fund to take care of principal and interest, we can repav loan of a million dollars and never feel 1t. At the same time we will save the state something like $2,0OO,0OO in 1 the way of discount of warrants. With discount now ranging from Is to IS per cent, it would not take long for the discount to run into a fabulous sum.
 "The state can borrow S1,OOO. 900. re- sume cash basis and come out ahead on the deal, when discount is consider ed. To take care of the loan in 15 years it would require the annual re. payment of about $70,0OOOOO in prin- c1pal, with interest amounting the first year to $50,000, or $120,OOO in all. and l gradually decreasing from year to year, as the interest each year wouId be about S3,500 less than the year be. fore A sinking fund of 1-4 or Is of one mill will take care of the whole | loan.
 The loan is to be made through a board of state officials, along the line suggested by Secretary of State Hodges in his biennial report"
