shtnments from the North Arkansas

Shipments from the North Arkansas zinc and lead field is heavier than for many months past owing to the high price of ore Jack touched SIS this week, which means from SEQ to SIS a ton for jack mined in this district and sold on a 60 per cent base, and from $40 to $50 for silicates and car bonates sold on 40 per cent base.

Representative Griffin will push his bill for million dollar loan, notwith- standing the unfavorable report by the Committee on Ways and Means. He has made some calculations showing the loss of revenue to the state after the general tax levy was reduced in 1905, and before it was restored in 1913, to be $1,346,S22, allowing nearly $l00,000 for delinquent taxes in that time He has further figures showing the warrants outstanding February 15. 1915, to have been $471,796 and af- ter allowing an estimated expense of $450,000 for the four and one-half months from now until the settlement of the tax collectors, he gives a total deficit due on that date of $921, ,796, presuming that the expense of govern ment will not be increased over this period beyond what they have been for the average of the past year. Adding to this his estimates of S325, ,000 for various deficits to be met by the pres ent legislature, and for such appro, priations as the Smith-Lever bill and others not included in the last legisla. ture appropriations, MT. Griffin reck- Cns that the total deficit will approach $1,200000. He has made an estimate of the interest on the proposed S1,- 100000 loan provided in his bill, over a period of F years, and claims that the one-fourth mill levy specified will provide for this and retire the loan with $32,000 to spare.

 After the house had defeated the Senate bill for the extension of tax paying time all over the state until November 1, Representative Gray of Independence secured the cooperation of the representatives of twelve other counties. and introduced 8 local bill affecting those counties alone.
 They are: Independence, Izard. Full ton, Sharp, Jackson, Clay, Randolph, Green, Lawrence, Howard, Nevada, Prairie and Monroe.
 But this bill had hard sailing from the first Objection was raised that this was a general bill, as affecting the revenues of the whole state, and could not therefore be considered on local bill day This point of order was over ruled by MT. Gentry, temporary Speaker. Intellectual attempts were made to indefinitely postpone and to table. and the bill was finally referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.
 A 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 g. 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 dfsfavor by the House Committee on Mines and Mining, rather strenuous hearing having been held on the bill before that committee. The coal ope- Tators were particularly opposed to 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 Senate adopted an amendment by Senator Moore to the proposed bill to abolish the State Highway Depart ment providing that the automobile tax shall be collected by the sheriff of each county, but that the amount col lected in cities, towns and municipal tties shall go to their respective treas uries, and the amounts collected out side the towns shall be turned into the county treasury. This plan would in crease the revenues of the cities to a considerable extent, since they do not now get any revenue whatever from the automobiles.

Senator Lundy, in advocating an amendment to a telephone rate bill in the Senate to prohibit city officials from accepting free telephone service, said:
 When man accepts a city office he should pay to ride on street cars and pay for his telephone out of his salary. If he cant 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, cials. The city should pay for the telephones used in it's offices and de- partments, and the company should pay for its franchise"

The house passed by a vote of 54 to 32 the General Game Bill which origl- mated in the Senate where it was in- troduced by Senator Futrell. After a tempestuous voyage in the house, dur ing which it had been threatened with destruction on the breakers of de- structive amendments, it came to a final vote without any change from the text as it came from the Senate. It will therefore become the general law, applicable to all counties in the state, for the protection of all game. A game commission is provided wsth a system of licenses, bag limits, and restrictions which, it is argued, will conserve the wild life of Arkansas.
