the petition, it woud be necessary to purge it of 7,295 signatures, or al most one third of the 19,l names signed to the petition. It is manifest that this will be impossible, unless wholesale Justification of signatures can be discovered, which is improb- able. Those who circulated the peti- tion knew that it is felony to forge signatures to the petition, and they say they were very careful to secure the signatures of only qualified cleo tors.
 Leaders of the Anti-Saloon League are planning a campaign of education and enlightenment upon the subject of practical and applied prohibition which they believe will overcome the work of those who are making their fight upon the local option platform These leaders are not in favor of at tempting to urge the petition, which was circulated and signed in less than three weeks, but to devote all chSi tiiAiS anu CiCI SlCo tO all Opel fight against the endorsement of the proposed law by the people in Mo- vember.
 It will be shown that business of all kinds has been better than it was under the old saloon system, and that. business interests in general are opposed to the repeal of the law It will be shown that crime has beer lessened and savings accounts have increased, that collections have been better and the volume of mercantile business greatly increased.
 Already there is promise of 6 spirited contest before the genera election in November.

Little Rock, July 1S.-During the recent campaign, Governor Hays an nounced that he proposed to appoint a board of survey to make an inves- tigation of the question of removing the University of Arkansas from Fayetteville to Little Rock. This board, or commission, was to consist of nonresident educators of we'll known character, who could have no personal interest whatever in the controversy. Their report would be used by him as the basis of whatever recommendations he might make tc the legislature. He also declared himself in favor of moving the Uni versity to a more central location Since that time, however, there has been no agitation of the subject, and Governor Hays th.s week said he had done nothing whatever in the prem ises, and declined to say when, if ever he would take any step toward car rying out his purpose.

OFFICERS TERMS
 10 BEGIN JAN. 1

Little Rock, July 18.-All county and state officers elected next Novem- Der will begin their terms January l, under the new consolidation of cleo ,ions law, according to the word being sent out from the office of the attorney general. The blank commissions be- ing printed for use after the election are dated January l, upon advice from the office of the attorney general.
 The new law fails to fix date for the time the new officers shall take office. Heretofore it has been cus- tomary for county officers to take office in November, immediately after the general election. It is said no objec- tion from the change in date has come from nominees and office holders. It will give the present office holders a longer term.

 The committee rule which forbids appropriation for sites in towns where the postal receipts are under $6000, or for buildings where the re- ceipts are less than $10,0OO, was strictly observed, Chairman Frank Clark of the committee said. How ever, where the government already owned the sites, the rule was disre- garded in some cases and an appro- priation was made for the building.
 The bill was given it's first reading today, but no date has been fixed when it will be called up for further action.
