 PAY PENSIONERS
BILL FAILED TO PASS lEGlSLA. TURF DURING LAST SESSION
 THROUGH AN OVERSIGHT.
OVERLOOKED IN THE HOUSE
Will Issue Deficiency Proclamation and Ask 1919 Legislature To Make Necessary Appropriation To Re.
 pay Interest on the Bonds. .
Little Rock

Little Rock
 It has been definitely settled thst the bill carrying $1,650,000 for Con- federate pensions failed to pass the last Legislature. The bill passed the Senate. but was misplaced in the House and left on the calendar. ln order to obviate the necessity of con vening the Legislature in special ses sion to pass the appropriation Gov. Brough conferred with a number of bankers and it is believed a plan will be worked out to save the state the expense of an extra legislative ses sion.
 Gov Brough's plan was that the state, through the state depository board, would lend the SS50,000 collect ed annually from the two mill pension tax to the banks agreeing to partici- pate The banks in turn would cash pensioners vouchers. Under Gov. Brough's plan the bank would be charged two per cent interest for use of the money, in addition to cost ct surety bonds. Gov. Brough agreed, however, to issue a deficiency procia- nation and ask the 1919 Legislature to make the necessary appropriation to repay the two per cent interest and the cost of the bonds. Under the law the money could not be loaned the banks except on interest of two per cent or more.
 Ar buckle and Auditor Oliver explained the situation to the bankers.
 On motion of former Congressman McRae of Prescott the bankers re ferred the matter to the Little Rock Clearing Association, with recommen dation that a committee to make fur ther investigation be appointed. The bankers tentatively ageed to abide by the action of the committee.
 "I am frank to say that I don't want to call a special session of the Legisla- ture," said Gov Brough. Already many have been calling on me and urging that l call a special session and incorporate various matters to be acted upon in my proclamation. One wanted me to call for creation of the Fort Smith-Little Rock Highway. and several wanted me to incorporate a request for repeal of the law calling a constitutional convention.
 "The situation is serious. The pen sioners must be paid, if it necessitates a special session of the Legislature"
 Gov Brough said he did not know how the bill could have been overlook ed, except through the negligence Of some members of the House."
