ANOTHER OF GOVERNORS
 BILLS IS DEFEATED

Little Rock, Feb 16-Another of Governor Brough's measures went down in defeat in the House yester- day afternoon, when the House, by vote of 35 to 39, refused to pass the Adams bill providing for the appoint ment of commission to make a sur vey of the charitable and penal inst;- tutions of the state. This was done notwithstanding the fact that during the discussion, special message was read from the governor, urging the passage of the bill. The chief oppO- sition came from Waggoner and others of like mind, who declared that it was only scheme to create more salaried offices for hungry politicians, and to stir up strife in the institutions of the state.

BILLS MAY
 REACH S4,0OO,0 ,0O0

Little Rock, Feb. 16.-The appro- priation bills began pouring into the House yesterday, both regular and deficiency bills, and while it is impos- sible to give the aggregate amounts, as they are not totaled, it is certain the amount will approximate between three and four million dollars. The bills will all have to go through a pruning process in the committee, and further cut in the House, and when they finally reach the governor, they will be much smaller than they are now.

BILL PASSES FOR UNIFORM
 ITY OF TEXT BOOK s

Little Rock, Feb. 16.-After years of effort, state uniformity of text books is assured by the passage of the Creekmore- Bland bill, through both houses, providing for the appointment of text book commission, and the selection of uniform text books for the use of the schools of the state, on comparative bids.

said the bank is the community build CT, and referred to the banks now letting farmers have money at 6 per cent to purchase blooded stock for the purpose of building up the country. Senator Goodwin stated that the bank would not have money to lend if the rate was decreased to per cent.
 Senator Caldwell, opposing the bill, declared that if the bill passed that the farmer would be driven back to the supply merchant and this would make him pay 25 per cent for his loans. He declared that 90 per cent of the farmers of his section are now getting what money they need from the banks, and they paid for the money only while they had it. Sena- tor Caldwell stated that the Buchanan bill would in no way affect the man who could borrow in large quantities for he could get it now for 6 per cent which always gave him an advantage over the poor man.
 Senator Moncrief also spoke against the bill stating that he was willing tc pay 10 per cent for his money if he could make that out of it, and he was convinced that the poor man could get nothing at all if this bill was passed He stated that one of the candidates for the legislature in his county made the race on a low rate of interest platform and was badly defeated.
 Senator Greenhouse closed for the bill, keeping the Senate in an uproar in his anecdotes on the lawyers. He declared that the bankers are 0perat- ing on the money of the depositors, and will not pay over i per cent for money loaned to them.
 The Senate passed the Carter uni form text book commission bill, the Alexander bill to annex territory to Blytheville; the Goodwin bill to make the judges of Independence and Izard counties eX-officio road commissioners, and received new bills: By Senator Caldwell, to provide a fence law for certain portions of Jefferson county.

BUCHANAN BILL DE-
 FEATED IN SENATE
Big Fight Over Lowering Rate of Legal Interest-Bill Per hitting Travelling Men to Vote Found to Have Many Flaws.

Little Rock, Feb. 16.-The Arkansas
 Senate is no place for man with a
 weak heart, hot head, or tender
 epidermis. Things were said in that
 body in the course of argument dur
 ing the sessions of that day which
 will make law to deprive mankind
 from parading with trousers which
 have hip pockets, popular They were
 passed almost unnoticed and the Sen
 ate continued to grind.
 The grist from the mill on Thurs i day afternoon was not great, but the
 chaff which flew in the other direction
 completely filled the air The first squabble came up over the Carter bill
 permitting travelling men to vote when
 away from home. This ball, passed | by the House, and supposedly an ad
 ministrative measure, was found to contain many flaws, and it was placed back on second reading, after being
 read a third time and the roll call
 started on it's passage, in order that
 the judiciary committee might correct it's flaws. The principal objection is
 that the bill permits the voter to cast
 his ballot and have it mailed back to
 his home county, but here difficulty
 arises in the inability of the absentee
 to get copy of the ballot which is that day being used in his home coun-
 ty. Then again, it will complicate the count in the election to have votes coming in by mail, so the committee may limit the ballot of the absentee to state and district offices, which votes may be counted where cast
 The McFerrin and Cazort bill, mak- ing an appropriation for the purpose of securing the federal aid for road work in Arkansas, was read a third time, and also deferred until Friday, for there are sections in it that are not approved in the Senate, and which were being pointed out in the Utley and Alexander bill, copy of which was introduced some time ago in the Senate.
 The big thing of the afternoon was the defeat of the Buchanan bill from the House, lowering the rate on con- tractural interest from 10 to & per cent. This was defeated by vote of 10 to l3, and two members. Senators Owens and Edmondson, changed from the affirmative to the negative, in order to move a reconsideration. An other lengthy squabble followed which was finally strengthened by the table ing of this motion, IT to 12, and the bill was then dead for all time.
 Senator Greenhouse opened the ar for the bill, vehemently ar- the bankers who had lobbied against the measure, and declaring that it was the salvation of the poor man. Senator Goodwin replied, and for an hour spoke from the bankers point of view. He declared that the hanks would not make small loans If he bill was passed, and for that req son the poor man would be the one to suffer. He told how the small banks in the summer borrowed money at 6 per cent to carry the farmers through he season, and let it out at 8 and 10, put even at 10 per cent it was merely an accommodation, as no money could he made out of the transaction.
