 The debates of the afternoon were restricted, apparently by common con- sent, to the Smith actuarial bureau reconsideration and the repeal of the state aid to high school bill. Discus sion on the lMiller-Condray measure was entirely on tSe merits. About half of the senators spoke for or against the state aid to high school repeal, and those not on the floor were urging others on or interrupting to ask questions.

 Little Rock, Feb. 9.-"We have in Arkansas today the ridiculous condi- tion of two units, the legislature and the people, under the initiative and referendum, with equal power" stated Senator J. Marion Futrell in addressing the senate this morning on the Wagner bill, changing the child labcx act so that children under 16 years of age may be worK- ed on the farm.
 "The people of Arkansas initiated this act and say. let them stand by it. Let the coordinate power correct it's own rcistake if it is to be correct ed. Under this act it Is unlawful for the farmers boy to 20 and turn the horse out of the barn after SUD- per. Let the people realize the dangers of the legislation they pro- pose.
