legislate for your county by way of placing your county officers on a sal ary. This is untrue and unfair to try to shift the local fight in your county by bringing me in.
 It is true that the bi1l fixing the head counties was introduced by me, but the facts are these; I was pre- pairing to introduce bill for my county and MT. Johns and MT. Find ley were preparing a similar bill for their counties. They together with Senator Futrell suggested that it would save time to join those three this I agreed as any other person would have done as courtesy of one member to another. I had nothing to do whatever with the fixing of the salaries of the officers of Greene county, and care nothing about the matter. The Greene county salaries were fixed by Representative Johns and Senator Futrell.
 So I feel that as newspaper man you should not have drug an out side party into the Greene county controversy, as you have done, for you could very easily obtained the facts in this matter. I stated to the judiciary committee on its hearing that had nothing to do with Greene and Craighead matters, that I only wanted to discuss the Clay county side of the proposition. So I hope that in justice to me you will correct this matter in your paper and pub fish this letter.
 In conclusion, I want to say to you and the people of Greene county that I never have had nor have now any interest in the placing of the officers of that county on a salary.

 If there is anything in the ground hog theory we are to be blest with six weeks of pretty weather. Accord ing to those who pin their faith to the ground hog as prognosticator, if the diminutive edition of the genus swine did not see his shadow by sev- en o'clock this morning the weather will be clear until March IA. There is another set of weather prophets who contend that Feb. 4 is the real ground hog day and that no signifi- canoe is to be attached to weather conditions on Feb. ?. Still others are skeptical about both days and de- ride the idea that the ground hog and his proverbial shadow have anything to do with the weather. However, all were pleased this morning when it became apparent that the forecast was for a season of sunshine.

REDUCTION BILL
 DEFENDED BY FUTRELL
Says Salary Bill Was Dropped Be- cause Certain Organizations
 Changed Front.
Arkansas Senate, 10th Annual As

sembly, January 29th, 1915. To the People of Greene County:
 MT. Johns introduced a bill to place certain officers of Greene coun- ty upon a salary, to-wit-
 The circuit clerk, county clerk, col lector and treasurer.
 The annual salary for the circuit clerk was to be $1S00, and $500 for clerk hire, making a total of $2600 per year; the county clerk was given $500, and $500 for clerk hire, mak- ing total of $240O per year; the collector was given $1200 per annum and $500 for clerical help; the treas urer was given s120O per annum.
 This bill was favored by the Farm CTS Union, by the Trades Council, and by others, but excited much opposi- tion in certain quarters and among other people.
 The Farmers Union changed their position upon the matter and asked for the defeat of the bill, so did some others who had favored a salary sys- tenn. I felt that if the revenues de- rived by these officers were exces- siVe, that the fees should be revised by putting them upon salaries; yet,
  it was my purpose if MT. Johns passed the bill through the house to see that it passed the senate. Owing to opposition which developed and the changing of front by certain organi zations, he has agreed to drop the salary bill.
 A bill has been introduced and passed the house reducing the fees of certain officers in certain instances. For example, after this bill becomes a law it will cost only dollar to get a deed recorde, whereas it now costs S1.50. Chaucery summons has been reduced from $1.00 to fifty cents. Certain orders of court have been re- duced; the docket fee has been re- duced from fifteen cents to ten cents in Chancery, submission entering ap- pearance, and issues have been strick- en out altogether. Original writs in circuit court have been reduced from seventy-five cents to fifty cents; all subpoenas have been reduced from fifty cents to twenty-five cents; the allowance of ten cents for each ac- count against the county has been stricken out; the fees of making up the tax books have been reduced from ten cents per hundred words to seven and one-half cents, and there are some reductions in the of flee of probate clerk. The collector, by the law as it now stands, gets five per cent for the first $10,000 collect ed, and for all sums over $1O 1000 and under s2O,OO0, three per cent, and for all sums over $20,000, two per cent. The five and three per cent is strick- en out. The treasurer gets four per cent comission on all sums under $1,- 900 and two per cent on all other sums. Four per cent is struck out, and the treasurer now gets under this law two per cent straight commission.
 understand this is very unsatis- factory to some, but I cant help it. Everybody can't be satisfied. think these reductions ought to be made and, therefore, shall insist up- on the passage of the bill.
 Yours very truly,
 J. M. FUTRELL.
