BRIEFS ABOUT THE
GENERAL ASSEMbL !
Amendment For Permanent
3 Mill Road Tax Will Be
Submitted To People.

The senate and house h v e
agreed upon the submission to the
people at the next general election
of a constitutional amendment
providing for 3 mill permanent
road tax levy. This amendment
gives counties power to levy a 8
mill tax for road purposes for a
period of 80 years, to borrow money
and issue bonds and pledge the rev.
enue arising from the tax collected
to repay the sums borrowed and in
terest, which shall not be at a high
er rate than 6 per cent, The pur-
pose is to provide a basis for a
bond issue for building permanent
good roads. No county could issue
bonds and borrow money under
the amendment until the act had
been approved by a majority OF
voters of the county, and no county
could levy the annual tax now pro-
vided for and the tax provided for
by this amendment in the same
year.
The submission Of the road tax
amendment makes it possible for
the legislature to propose but one
more amendment to the people at
the next general election, as only
three constitutional amendments
may be submitted at any one elec-
ton, and the members have a good
number to pick from in making
this final selection. Just before the
convening of the legislature enough
signatures to initiative and refer
endum petitions were filed with the
proper authority to secure the sub
mission of an amendment which
provides that the limit of school
tax possible to be levied in this
state shall be IL mills, instead OF
the present limit Of 7 mills
Senator Duty of Benton county,
who is the author of a measure
providing for the guarantee of bank
deposits in this state, received a
letter from W. J. Bryan endorsing
the bill. Il feel sure" said Mr..
Bryan, that the passage of a bank
guaranty bill would be very advan-
tageous to the people of your state.
-
BY a large majority the house
murdered a bill by Representative
Walls of White county, which pro-
posed to make the tiger" sale or
giving away of liquor a felony, The
house contended that the penalty
provided by the measure was too
severe and all out of proportion to
the seriousness of the olfense.

lieve that capital punishment pre-
vents crime, while on the other
hand it prevents many convictions,
as it is usually hard to convict a
man when the jury knows the SEN
tence will be death. Besides that,
the age of barbarism has passed,
and posterity will look upon our
present-day executions as wedo now

abolished the quicker another step

Feeling confident that the time

West Virginia and Ohio are con-

highway, the members of the Trans

returned after an automobile tour of
three days. The object of the trip
was to secure information on which to
determine the cheapest and most prac-
ticable route for permanent roadway
between Montgomery and Covington,
Va. The party left here in a number
OF automobiles and made the trip to
Covington over the old Fayette, Giles
and Kanawha turnpike by way of Fay

Old Sweet Springs.
Meetings were held at Fayetteville,
Mt. Hope and several other towns,

people along the routes. The associa-
ton returned over the James River
turnpike by way OF White Sulphur

AS commensurate to the continued
persistent offensive of the allies on
the whole western front, the Germans
attacked the French lines around Sou
chez and Vimy in strong force and
in struggle marked by tremendous
losses succeeded in penetrating some
OF the trenches.
At other points on the line where
they attempted to drive their way
through they were hurled back without
gains after paying big toll in dead
and wounded.
The only place where the Germans
were able TO advance was in the Given
chy woods. In this section a terrific
bombardment by guns of all calibres
had obliterated the French defenses.
Then the infantry was thrown forward,
and in a series of assaults with bay

British Attack Germans by Land and Move
by Four Entente Powers to Relieve Pressure on
Serbians Who Are Slowly Retreating
TEUToNs RESIST ENGLISH ON 25-MlLE BATTLE FRONT

London.-Great Britain declared
war on Bulgaria, announcing that hos
tilities between the two countries dat
ed from 1 o'clock.
The hour will be significant. say the
military experts, as turning the whole
tide of the conflict of the nations.
and marking the beginning of a move
that will make the Balkans the arena
In which the final outcome of the great
struggle may be determined.
A new drive of the allies for Con-
stantinople by land with an immense
army and attacks on Bulgaria both
from the Aegean and Black seas are
forecast.
Battles were fought in every theatre
of the war with the allies persistently
pressing a new offensive, which began
with the entrance of Bulgaria into the
war and the transfer of the principal
storm centre to the Balkans.
The Austro-Germans invading Ser
bia have captured Pozarevac. south
east of Semendria.
The seat of the Serbian Government
was transferred to Mitrovitza near
the MOuleHeSTlH ITOHlleT, Says us
patch from Bucharest.
Mitrovitza is the terminus Of a
branch railroad which connects with
the main line from Nish to Salonica
at Uskup.
The Serbians have made another
mcursion into Bulgaria in an attempt
to capture strategic points defending
the road to Sofia. They have been
repulsed in some places. but at others
they are holding their ground and the
fighting continues.
The Austrians, Germans and Bull
garians are gaining ground slowly in
Serbia, and Nish reports that every
yard is costly, as the Serbians falling
back to their fortified positions in the
mountains take every advantage of the
difficult country to infiict the greatest
possible injury to the invaders.
Greece informed Great Britain that
a definite decision has been reached
not to intervene in tn war at present.
in behalf of Serbia, and that the
Athens Government is of the opinion
that the treaty with Serbia does not
call for Intervention under the pres
ent circumstances.
