Citizens Ask Lawmakers to
 Quit Harassing the Railroads

miles of road must be constructed in this state before the state can hope to even begin to develop her wonder full resources, and it is evident to us that they cannot be maintained and render the necessary service unless they are permitted to earn a reasona- ble return on the money invested in them. We know this is not being done and we also know that the con- struction of new lines of road in the state has stopped absolutely, and we believe that the condition is largely due to an antagonistic attitude to- ward them in times past on the part of the lawmaking bodies of this state, and which hostile acts have re- suited in curtailing their earnings to such an extent that all except the most imperative maintenance work has been stopped and has had the fur ther effect of ruining their credit; thus forestalling even very necessary improvement work.
 One of the hostile acts referred to herein is the two cent passenger law enacted two years ago, and which act we pray your honorable body to revoke, and permit the roads to re- store the three cent rate. It occurs to us that if it is worth two cents per mile to transport passenger in the densely populated states of the northeast, it is really worth twice that in Arkansas by reason of the rel ative sparse population, and the many other unafavorable conditions that railroads along with other lines of business must confront: floods, swamps, etc.
 The adverse railroad legislation of former years has so seriously impair ed the credit of Arkansas railroads that they are unable to borrow mon ey on bonds to make the improve ments and extensions needed, and for this reason millions of dollars of dollars of money that should be spent in Arkansas on railroad development is going to those states where the roads are erceiving more equitable treatment.
 We do pray further that an imme- diate stop be put to further legisla- ton, calculated to cripple the rail- roads, or interfere with their man. agement. This includes also taking action in matters that properly be- long to the railroad commission, which body is certainly in better position to make investigations and therefore rule in the premises.

.FUTRELL'S GAME BILL
 LOSES IN THE SENATE
Author Asks Indefinite PostponegeIl
 bs When Twenty-Seven Counties Were Exempted.

Little Rock, Feb. 2.-After making. a strenuous fight for a general gam bill, which will protect the game and fish of the state from game hogs, Senator Futrell Monday afternoon de- clined to see the bill slaughtered by members who began to exempt coun- ties, and killed it by asking an in- definite postponement, which was granted. Up to that time twenty seven counties, mostly in north and east Arkansas, had been exempted, later in the afternoon Senator Flu trell began anew on the game propo- sition and in the judiciary commit tee he began moulding over the Duty game bill with the hope of having it enacted into a law. The members of the committee assured Senator Flu trell they would make fight for his measure, and would oppose the ex- emption of any county, in order that the state have a uniform game bill.
 The senate passed the Smith bill which provides that the profits ac- cruing from sale of products from the penitentiary, be turned over to the families of the convicts, or in case they have no families, that the amount due them be placed in savings bank to their credit. The bill provides that the convicts must have model records in order to par ticipate in the division of the prof. it's. A library fund is also created. and the accounting with the convicts will take place annually.
 The senate also revived the Sins, bill, defeated last week, providing for accountants in the banking de- partment, to make inspections of the books of county and state officials and of state institutions.
 Two bills of general importance were introduced, one by Senator Gar rett of Clark, permitting the pay ment of 1914 taxes in all counties of the state, between Aug. 1 and Oct. 1, instead of closing the tax books April 10. This is an administration meas ure and was referred to the judiciary committee. The other bill was in troduced by Senator Greenhouse pro- viding special tax levy for the main- tenance of the University of Arkan- sas. The bill was referred to the committee on education.
 A number of local bills were passed Senate bill A (Wagner), a bill granting pensions for three residents of Crawford county; senate bill 114 (Wagner), stock law for Crawford county; Senate bill 117 (Davenport) for the better protection of paupers in White county; senate bill 124 (Hamilton), granting a pension to 5.
