Washington. April 9.-The admin. istration's financial program for car ryina 'u the war insofa .s it relates to the authorization q. a five billion dollar bond issue. including three bil. lions to be lent the allies, will be placed before congress within the next 4S hours with every prospect of primpt approval.
 The measure calling for the author ization of the huge issue will be con sidered ny the house ways and means committee tomorrow afternoon after the republican members have been named and upon the return of Chair man kitchin from North Carolina The committee will probably report the measure Wednesday and the house is expected to begin it's consld. eration Thursday.
 OOicial announcement was made fo night by Secretary McAdoo of the treasury department, different in no material respect from unofficial state. ments published the past few days. Mr McAdoo predicted that the amount would be overwhelmingly sub. scribed, The facilities offered by bankers and others who have asserted that they would place their service free of charge at the governments disposal to aid in making the issue success will be accepted Assistance also will be sought of federal reserve b'nks, national banks, state banks, insurance companies. private and in- vestment bankers and of every gov ernmcntal agency. sItch as the internal revenue offices and the postoffces in Floating the issue
 Mir McAdoo also announced that he would take the benefit of the counsel of the most experienced bank CTS and investors of the country as to the best means of making the offer a pronounced success
 The term of the bonds is yet to be decided upon as well as the denomin. ations,f but it is likely that there will be little change in the plan to issue them in denominations as low as $25. If the authorization is granted. it Is possible that the big issue will not be placed before the investment public in one lump sum, but will be issued from time to time as the money is needed. Temporary certificates as usual will be issued at first.-to be re- deemed when the government will have had time to eneraye the bonds.
 MT. McAdoo conferred today with Representative, Rainey, LonsswOrth and Moore and Senators Penrose and Husting reearding the issue. J. P. Morgan, in Washington on other bus mess for few hours, paid a five minute call on Mr McAdoo The bond issue waG discussed incidentally, it was said and Mir Morgan remarked that he thought the country was in condition readily to absorb a large issue
 MT McAdoos formal announcement of the program, made at the eonclu- sion of a day of conference, reads as follows;
 "The administration will ask con. cess for authority to issue five bil. lion dollars of government bonds to meet the situation created by the war with Germany. The proopsed bonds will be exempt from taxation and be at interest probably of three and one. half per cent per annum. Two billion dollars of those bonds will he requir

GO, THOU GOOD AND FAITHFUL
 SERVANT.

Within a week, unless the solons see it to extend the session for fifteen days with no pay, the Forty-frst ses- sion of the Arkansas General Assem- bly will have come to close. It is d session that will be remembered for many years, as the most sane of them all. The personnel Of the body has been far above the ordinary, and there has been less fanaticism dis played.
 Many revenue producing and other legislative matters have been offered which bordered upon the Socialistic. but the Assembly had the big axe handy, and none of them were put up to the governor.
 The encouraging thing about the session was the friendliness express ed for capital. What laws were en- acted on taxation were not aimed di. rectIy at the corporation, but at mak- ing equitable assessments so that all would bear their proper proportions of the cost of the state, county and municipal governments, and no one can dispute just taxation.
 In former sessions the railroads have been the pie for the legislator. This time the Rock Island has been forced to discard it's camel back en- zines. to build a depot at Ola, and a viaduct at Fordyce. The Iron Noun tain has been required to change the operation of trains between Fort Smith and Little Rock, and to remove some switch tracks in Prescott. The
The Pulaskian., 1917-03-02

Frisco has been forced to maintain a telegraph operator at Portia. The coal operators, after going ten years without bill passing to affect their interests. have been forced to accept q bill giving the State Mine Inspector more power in regulating the opera tion of mines.
 This is the sum and total of the corporation legislation Enough to make a legislator of the 1905 brand turn over in his political grave. Yer ilv, they dc improve, and after the Constitutional Convention let us hope they will all be as good. This con vention ought to leave them nothing else to do.
 Perhaps-and the perhaps ought to be spelled all in capital letters, We have a governor who is at least re- sponsible for portion of the credit. Gov. c. Fl. Brough is living up to all the predictions made for him by his friends, and absolutely declining to find the pitfalls his enemies were so generous as to place in the path he was expected to travel.
 The Legislature is a test of fire for a governor, yet Chas Fl. Brough. novice in the political game, has handled the Assembly as though 1t was an heirloom of his family. He has handled the Legislature so that 1t is difficult to pick the friends Of the administration from the enemies. The man who today you pick as un- friendly, will tomorrow be fighting through an administration measure, and thus it goes.
 When the session ends, Gov. Brough will have steered his craft through the shoals and into clear wa ter He can then sail the ship of state into port, laden with the choice products of the session and make the entire state happy with the good things he brings them. He will then have time to put into effect the meas ures he has whipped through the As sembly, and to demonstrate to the people their wisdom,
 
 ten there have been developments which have caused. at least those who are suspicious of their fellow man, to imagine there may be something rot ten in Denmark Truly, there may be, but even that would not change in the least the above estimate of the 1917 General Assembly.
 It would be impossible to gather a body of men of the size of the Gen eral Assembly and have them all hon. est. But the proportion is so vastly inclined toward honesty, that the it tie sprinkling of the boodling element cuts no figure in the final estimate. The majority is so manifestly honest, that it is not even affected by the sus- pieion which rests on the few
 4 barrel of apples without one that has it's spots, herd of sheep without the black fellow, and a church without it's hyprocrite, would be oddities. We do not condemn the while for the mi nority-neither will we condemn the legislature for the actions of few.
 Even in the face Of recent charges against a small clique in the Senate, we must reiterate the statement of the preceding paragraphs-the 1917 Gen. eral Assembly has been far superior to those which have gone before it.
