The Fortieth General Assembly against the policy of extending the time for the payment of taxes. Three bills for this purpose were defeated by the house, one of them, a general bill, after it had passed the Senate.
 The first bill was one that had been vigorously championed by Rep resentative Brawner of Clay county to extend the time of tax paying in his county from April 10 to Novem- Der To- He lost at every point, al though he made a hard fight for the benefit of his constituents.
 Then came the bill which had passed the Senate, providing for an extension of time all over the state. This was also badly beaten. AS a last resort, the representatives of h. dependence, IZard, Fulton, Sharp, Jackson, Clay, Randolph, Green, Law renee, Howard Nevada, Prairie and Monroe introduced bill to apply to their counties alone. This had rough passage through the legislative break CTS. It provided that those who ask ed for an extension of taxes should pay the state 10 per cent for the time extended after April 10. In the final contest Messrs. Gray, Rogers of De sha and Brawner supported the bill, MT. Rogers explaining that as MT. Gray had been one of the first to come to the relief of eastern Arkansas counties during the overflow period of 1893, he favored giving the hill counties the relief sought Messrs. Griffin and Belote opposed the bill, MT. Griffin on the ground that it is class legislation and Mir Belote be- cause he believed it did not provide for protection 10 the common school fund, but would make the other coun- ties support this fund for the ex- empted counties. The bill was final ly defeated, 36 to A. and with it the last chance of any sort of taxpaying or exemptions for this ses- sion

The Woods nuisance act" signed by the governor, is modelled after the famous Tennessee statute, and is in tended, as it's author declares, to get the man higher up' in the blind tiger business-the man who allows his buildings to be operated for the pur- pose of illegal liquor traffic.
 Under this law an investigation may be ordered, where there is cause to believe that the liquor laws are being found the chancellor is authorized to order the place of business closed, and any reopening of the place for the purpose of illegal sale of liquor works as a conviction for contempt of court and subjects the agent, owner or person in charge of the building to Imprisonment for from 30 days to six months, in addition to a fine of not exceeding $50. The building is closed and may not be reopened for any pur- pose within year.
 -I Ifs determining whether or rot lie. uor is being sold illegally, the court may take prima facie evidence of such violation the possession by the de- fendant of an internal revenue liquor tax stamp, or a record showing that he has taken out a revenue license. Copies of the records in the office of the district internal revenue collec- tor are admissible in evidence
 Not only is the attorney general or the prosecuting attorney authorized to file a petition with the court to abate a blind tiger nuisance, but any five citizens may, without the concur renee z such officers, and upon their own relation, file such petition and de- mand an investigation within the premises. If filed by citizens they must make such bond for costs as the court may determine, to be assessed against them in case it develops that the petition was filed without prob able cause. Otherwise, no costs are taxed against the petitioners.
