TO REMEDY TAX ASSESSING

Little Rock, Jan. 24.-A bill has been introduced by Representative Allen Holloway, intended to cure the present inefficient manner in which the assessment and valuation laws of Ark ansas have been enforced. The bill proposes to have each owner of prop erty to file a list of all his property subject to taxation, subscribed and sworn to with the assessor as now pro- vided by law, and to enforce this pre- scribes a penalty of 30 per cent of the tax on all property not so listed It provides further that any assessor who negleets or refuses to perform his duties may be removed from office by the fling of the affidavit of twenty re- putable tax payers. The appointment of two citizens in each township at a salary of S2 per day by the county judge and authorizes them to value all property listed, to place all prop erty. not listed on the tax books, and to value same and place a penalty of 30 per cent for failure to assess, the same to be collected as delinquent taxes. Representative Ash of Car roll county has bill somewhat similar in purpose except that the justice of the peace shall aid the assessor in the various counties.

NEWS AND NOTES
 OF THE LEGISLATURE

TO WITHDRAW SUFFRAGE BILL
 Little Rock, Jan. 24-Representa- tive John A. Riggs, of Garland county, author of the equal suffrage amendment in the House, has decided to withdraw his measure for the con- sideration of granting suffrage to women, and urges all friends of the cause to support Senator Smiths bill for new constitutions Gov. Brough, in his inaugural message, stood square on the issue of granting this reform in Arkansas, believing that the women of the state should have a voice in all questions affecting property education, and morality of the common wealth. The Governor has pledged himself that if constitutional con yention is called he will use what ever influence he possesses to have this provision incorporated into the organic law of the state

TO INSPECT GASOLINE

Little Rock Jan. 24.-There are two bills in the hands of the Ways and Means Committee of the House, pro- viding for the inspection of gasoline. One is the Hester bill, passed by the Senate, and the other is the bill in- troduced by Representative Trawick of Pulaski county. The committee will hold meeting next Monday night to give hearing to all persons in- terested. The chief point of differ ence is that the Hester bill provides that the funds derived from the in spection shall be retained by the in spector for his services, while the Trawick bill provides that it shall be paid into the state Treasury. The ad- vocates of the Trawick bill claim that it will bring $150,OoO annually into the State Treasury.

Little Rock, Jan, 24-I Nakdimen, president of the Fort Smith City National Bank, is. in Little Rock work ing in the interest of bank guaranty act He believes that an almost per- feet measure will be constructed out of those now pending, by taking the important features from each one. MT. Nakdimen was banker in Oklahoma, having string of banks there, for a number of years.
 "The Oklahoma law at the begin ming was not perfect, says Mir. Nakdimen, "yet it worked out all right. We have never had deposit lose a dollar there. I can speak authofitively on banking measures and I will argue the matter before any committee, against any banker who opposes a guarantee bill".
 The Senate Bank and Banking com mittee is now considering two such measures, and there are two in the House.

KILLS LOCAL BILLS

For the first time since the session began, the Senate killed several House bills, doing it by indefinate postpone ment. The one to feel the sting of the Senate the keenest was MT. Johnson of Sebastian, who had two bills killed in almost as many minutes. The first bill regulated the street car traffic of Fort Smith, reducing the fare and do- ing several other things. Senator King called it up and rocked it to sleep with a motion to indefnately postpone. This was unanimously car ried, and then Senator Hester called up another Johnson bill regulating the charges for electricity in Fort Smith. He did not even permbit it to go to a second reading, before moving to indefnately postpone, with the ex- planation that it would abrogte con tract between the city and the electric company. The motion carried.

Little Rock, Jan. 24-An inopera- tive law, Act 292, of the session of 1915, has been repealed by the pass age of bill by President Davenport in both houses. It provides for the construction of public roads in the counties of White, Polk, Grant, Boone, Mississippi, Stone, Newton, Washing ton, Craighead, Columbia. and Lafa- yette counties. It was stated on the floor that this act was superseded by the Alexander bill and no roads are now being constructed under it.

to receive it, as there are already three amendments to the Gonstitu- ton provided for. The advocates of the measure will then go into court, and on up to the Supreme Court.
 While the Supreme Court has pre- yiously held that only three amend ments can be submitted in one session, under the Initiative and Referendum, the matter will be carried up again, there being 2 feeling that the court may. reverse its former decision.

DISCUSS DIGEST

Little Rock, Jan. 24-There are
 two clocks in the Senate chamber, one
 evidently for quitting, and the other ] for commencing. One clock is 20
 minutes behind the other, though
 both are supposed to be operated by
 the same master clock. This week the clock which registeres the slowest, has
 been the one for quitting time, the l Senate holding on again Tuesday un-
 til 5 o'clock before adiourning. The Senate was right then in the middle of
 committee of the whole, considering whether or not it would recommend favorable the $36,000 appropriation to purchase the Kirby < Castle Digest. After an hour or more had been spent in debating the first two sections, and Considerable opposition has been ex-
 pressed, Senator Ruff offered an a.
 mendment to the third section, to cut it all out. This would have left the bill without an appropriation, and the friends of the measure then threw up their hands in disgust and asked that the committee rise, report progress, and beg leave to sit again, which was done and the Senate must consider the
 bill further on another day.
 The sections of the bill which were adopted were those adopting the
 Digest, and agreeing to purchase the
 5000 volumes at S4 per volume.
 Local bills were side-tracked, at the request of Senator Caldwell the author to consider the digest. bill, and the Sen ate immediately went into Com mittee of the Whole, it being an ap-
 propriation measure. The first sec ftion was adopted without comment but when the second was reached
 Senator Carruth voiced strenous op- position He declared that the di- gestors were self appointed, and the
 State was not obligated to purchase their product, yet the State needs a Digest and he was willing to buy it, yet he thought committee of three eminent lawyers should be asked to pass upon the book and see if it was [ the one desired. He declared the State should not buy Digest that
 was not accurate, and for this reason he asked that the committee be en- gagged.
 The discussion then became general
 Senators Alexander, Caldwell, Bush, Garrett and Greenhouse favoring the bill ,and Senators Ruff, Collins and others opposing, but as the bill could be discussed on it's merits when it came up for final action, they voted l for the sections ~until the third was reached

BONE DRY" BILL.
 IS NOW ALAW
Governor Brough Signing Same at 10:35 Last Night, While Banqueters Sing, How Dry Am''

Governor Chs;s. H. Brough signed the Greathouse-Ponder Bone Dry" bill last night, at 10:35, while those assembled at a banquet, which the Governor was attending, sang that old familiar song, which will con- tinue to be popular throughout Arkansas, for many years to come, Nobody Knows How Dry 1 Am
 The Governor used twenty different pens n signing the bill, and they will be kept as souvenirs by those who were in- terested in it's passage.
 One feature of the passage of the bill, in the House, was that Col. Geo. Thornburg, who has spent almost life time, in the interest of prohibition, occupied a seat with Speaker Cozort, while the House unanimously put the stamp of approval upon the measure.
 The bill becomes effective im- mediately.

from IS to II, the actual average daily
attendance for the year increasing by
ISL, while the total registration in
creased only 81. In spite Of this in
crease in the percentage Of average at
tendance the number Of persons OF
compulsory school age not attending
school regularly increased from 1,I46 to
1852 during the year. This would inr
dictate that regularity of attendance
was less general among children or
school age, but that the irregularity In
individual cases was not so marked. 1t
must be regarded, however, as dis
tinctly unfavorable situation when
nearly 1000 children whom the law
specifically includes in its compulsory
attendance provisions are allowed to
remain out Of school or to attend more
or less irregularly. Any influence
which can be brought to bear to bring
