A million dollar loan to take up the states deficit and put Arkansas again or cash basis is proposed in a bill by Representative Griffin of Little Rock
 The state is approximately a mil lion dollars in debt" said Mir 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 s27,000 an- nually in excess of the necessary ex- penses of state government.
 The only problem, therefore, is 10 take care of this million dollar deficit. That once cleared, we can continue on cash basis without raising the tax rate. On basis of 15 years at ap- proximately a quarter of a mill levy for sinking fund to take care of principal and interest, we can repay a loan of million dollars and never feel it. At the same time we will save the state something like s2,000,000 in the way of discount of warrants With discount now ranging from 15 to IS per cent. it would not take long for the discount to run into a fabulous sum.
 The state can borrow s1,000, 900, re- sume a cash basis and come out ahead on the deal. when discount is consider ed. To take care of the loan in IS years it would require the annual re- payment of about s70.0OO,OO0 in prin- cipal, with interest amounting the first year to s5O,OO0, or S120,O0O in all. and gradually decreasing from year to year, as the interest each year would be about s3.50O less than the year be- fore.
 '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"

The question of a Constitutional Convention was not considered ser fously until it was found out on the floor of the house last week and pass ed. Now the senatorial wiseacres are scratching their heads to determine whether or not they favor a revision of the ancient foundation for govern ment upon which the state has stood for so many years. The only fear they have is that the right kind of men will not offer for membership in this con- vention, and that the constitution, pre- pared by politicians and weddings, would be a travesty. It is realized on the other hand, that the constitution is a bit out Of date. and growing more so each year, and that this risk will have to be taken sooner or later, so it might as well come now
 The real evidence of the strength of sentiment in favor of a Constitutional Convention is displayed in the an- nouncement of well known citizens of Arkansas for appointments within the convention James G. Higgins, assis- tant chief clerk of the house, and for a number of terms the chief clerk. is the first of them all to announce as candidate for secretary of the con- yention.

NEW HIGHWAY FOR

JACKSON MILITARY ROAD, NOW

The Commercial Club has received

of the Jackson Military Highway,
which is planned to be built from
Nashville, Tenn, to New Orleans, via
Meridian, Laurel and Hattiesburg,
with the ultimate purpose of an extern
sion to the Pacific coast 1t is planned
also to have this highway connected
with the great highways of the north
and east, and to have lot of lateral
connections that will eventually make
it the greatest highway in the United
States.
The first thing, however, that the
promoters say they wish, is the COM

New Orleans. Coming from the north
it will be brought by Columbus, and
already half of the distance between
Nashville and Meridian is covered
with good roads. There is good

big task of assisting the South to

today by Robert F. Rose, who has re-

But little noticeable change in the
yellow pine market of both Hatties
burg and of all Mississippi has been
shown in the market during the last
week. Business has somewhat slack.
ened off, and a slight erratic streak
with variations in lists amounting to
more than 81, have appeared now and
then.
One feature of the state market was
the securing of an order from the Mi
bile & Ohio Railroad for million feet
of stringer ties and car material. This
is the second big order placed in the
market recently, and some believe
that it is a forerunner of better bust
ness. Good prices were obtained on
the big order
Demand continues to come into the
market in fairly steady flow, the one
and two carlot orders ruling, with
sprinkling now and then of some
thing better. Timbers and car ma
terial seem to be the ruling feature.
Car decking is scarce and prices for
this item are reported good. Dimen-
sion stock, boards and joists are doing

price, the yards being practically
cleaned of this item, iii filling a re-

ed this year. A number of>oxders are
reported from the west and north and
it is believed that this demand viii

tered sections from which orders are
coming is more convincing to lumber
men that yards are practically out of
stock and sales are made before pur-
chases, indicated by kilograms pre-
ceding mail orders, urging rush ship
ments
The crop situation is anything but
satisfactory The recent drought has
done big injury to corn and cotton.
Old corn was reduced fully % per
cent. while cotton was forced open
prematurely. Increased acreage in
cotton, diversified crops and scarcity
of the boil weevil, however, may over
come this.
Taken as a whole the situation is
considered favorable for better bust
ness and September is expected to de-
velop unusual trade.
