WILL. WORK FOR
 BETTER LAWS
Nine Clubs Organize for Purpose of Securing Better Laws in State;
 Want Charity Hospital Also.

Little Rock, Sept. 22.-(SpeciaD = Representative of nine state organi- zatiOns have formed a State Cooper ative Council for Social Legislation. Dr. Morgan Smith of Little Rock, man; Mrs. Minnie U. Rutherford Auerbach of Little Rock is secretary. The organizations represented are the State Federation of Labor, the Ark ansas Conference for Social Welfare, the State Bar Association, the State Federation of .Women's Clubs, the State Farmers Union, the State Tea chers Association, the Arkansas w. c. T. U. the State Homeopathic Assoc iation. and the State Medical Assoc, iaticn.
 It is the purpose of those interested in the movement to make this council a clearing house for all proposed leg islation of a social nature that may come before the General Assembly for consideration. They will secure from other states the best and most detailed information regarding bills pending there Much can be accom- plished of benefcent nature but put ting behind the bills that may be in- troduced in the Arkansas Legislature the forceful influence of leaders fr social welfare in other states
 There is an aggregate membership of 100000 in the component organ1za- tions, and their support of any mea- sure should have tremendous in fluence upon the lawmakers.
 One of the preliminary questions taken up by the Council ie 8 bill fol the establishment of general charity hospital for the state, wherein the sick, injured and crippled who can not afford treatment elsewhere may be given free treatment. It provides for the sale of forty acres belonging to the state, west of the Deaf Mute institute and the use of $25. 900 Ter: by the late pr. Isaac Folsom for the erection and maintenance of such an institution It is also to be provided that the states charitable institutions shall be divorced from politics, and shall be controlled by a Board ol Managers to he appointed by the Gov ernor and to serve without salary The secretary alone would receive compensation for his services. This would eliminate the present system of management by the State Board ot {. Control provided by the Legislature oi i 1915, and is proponents claim would save money and result in better ser vice.
