that by means of antennae current from the wire

HIGHFILL TO QUIT
HIGHWAY OFFICE
Paragould Man, Whose Term Elk.
pires on May /, Will Not Ask
for Reappointment.

Little Rock, April &c. w.
Highfill of Paragould, member of
the state highway commission, will
sever connection with the commits
sion May 1, when his term expires.
Mr.. Highfill yesterday morning no.
titled Governor Hays that he would
not apply for reappointment nor
could he accept if the office were
rendered him. The other members
of the commission are w. G.. Owen,
highway commission, who is eX
officio chairman of the commission,
and A. S. Kilgore of Magnolia.
"There will be a great deal of
additional work for the commission
with the Inauguration of the Alex
ander road law, and the work will
demand so much time that l could
not afford to retain the place" said
Mr.. Highfill yesterday. Under the
law Mr.. Kilgore and myself would
receive SIS a day and expenses the
days we were in session. The leg
islature appropriated $1,000 for this
which would give us each $3.50 a
year. The new road law, together
with other work, will demand that
the commission be in session the
greater part of the time, so the ap-
preparation soon will be exhausted.
'tIn 1913 there was a contingep-
cy fund appropriated by the legis-
| lature from which we drew part of
our salaries. This fund was cut
from $12,5O0 to $4,000 by the last
legislature, however. OF the $1,000
appropriated $4,700 must be used
for purchasing automobile tags. 1t
is plain there will not be money
for salaries of the commissioners,
and l simply could not afford to
serve without salary"
Mr. Highfill is one of the few
state officials who sees the fault
on the Arkansas government as be-
/ ing within the state house to a great
extent.
There is too muck lack of sYs-
| TEN and too many superfluous Off
cials," was the way Mr.. Highfill ex-
pressed it. "What Arkansas needs
is new constitution and a bond
issue. The educational system
should be put on a millage basis
and divorced from politics. The
institutions must be made perma-
nent to uphold the dignity and vel
fare of the state. Floating of 8
bond issue would be the business
! like remedy. l believe" continued
Mr. Highfill.
The weekly soliphone. (Paragould, Greene County, Ark.) 1907-1918, 1915-04-02

Little Rock, April 1.-Governor
Hays wound up the business of conr
sidering the bills of the 1915 legis-
lature late yesterday afternoon, hav-
ing approved a total of 345 acts and
vetoed approximately a dozen 9TH
ers He had expected to have until
Saturday to complete consideration
of the bills, counting the go days"
provision as applying to working
days and not to running days, but
some question was raised as to this
conclusion. The governor therefore
decided to work overtime Wednes-
day and clean up the list of bills,
so as to leave no doubt as to the
validity of his action in approving
or disapproving any measures left
over at adjournment.
His last act in this regard was to
veto the Waggoner bill, regulating
pawn brokers and loan sharks"
and which placed a license tax of
from $1,000 to $4,000 per annum
on this class of business.
In vetoing the measure Governor
Hays stated that he had been petit
toned by bankers and business
men over the state to disapprove
the bill that while he was against
the Ioan shark" he feared that
the Waggoner bill, as drawn, would
initiate against number of legiti-
mate business interests, such as
banks, where small customers were
concerned, and especially where they
sought to make small loans on per-
Hnal property. He explained that
he did not think it proper time
to take any action that might in
any way disturb legitimate business
interests. Representative Wagon
er of Lonoke, author of the bill,
spent part of the afternoon at a
conference with the governor, urg-
ing the approval of the bill.
Another bill vetoed as a closing
act was the Shouse bill, carrying
$4,000 for the redigesting of the
statutes. These have not been di-
gested since 1904, and friends of
the bill were urgent in their desire
for it's approval, but the governor
thought it best to retrench.
He also vetoed the Shoffner bill,
