BILL CARRYING APPROPRIATION TO AID U. S. IN WORK IS IN
 PRODUCED IN HOUSE.
FAVORABLE REPORT MADE
Congress in 1916 Passed An Appro. priation of $2o,ooo,ooo To Provide For the Establishment of One or
 More Nitrate Plants.
Little Rock

L1ttIo ROCK An appropriation of s7,500 from the general revenue fund to defray the cost of assisting United States engi- neers in making surveys of possible sites in Arkansas for a government nitrate plant is sought in bill intro duced by Representative Andrew l. Rowland of Hot Spring county.
 The bill is intended primarily to provide for a survey of a site at Ce- dar Glades on the Upper Ouachita, near Hot Springs. A survey of this site was made several years ago by government engineers and a very fa- vorable report was made on the wa ter power possibilities.
 Congress in 1916 passed an appro- priation of $20,OO0,O00 to provide for the establishment of one or more ni- trate plants, the product to be used for war purposes when necessary and for agricultural purposes at other times.
 The bill was signed by Representa- lives Rowland of Hot Spring county, Riggs of Garland county, Moore of Independence county and Owens of Ouachita
 The governor is to direct the use of the fund.

Deficiency Bill Postponed.

Deficiency Bill Postponed.
 A bill by Senator Slaughter to make an appropriation of $29,962.18 for University of Arkansas deficien- cy drew the fire of MT Waggoner of Lonoke, who said that "it seems we are passing appropriations all the time for the university" The items are: Salaries and operating ex- penses, 1911-13, s23,779.85; animal husbandry department to July 1, 1917, $1.000; interest on university endow ment fund at five per cent, $6,183.33. Objection was made by MT. Waggoner to allowing a claim six years old when the item had been vetoed by the governor in 1911 MT. Ellis of Randolph said they are showing their arms into the state treasury up to the shoulder" and he declared it would be disgrace to make the appropriar tion. It was defended by MT. Collier and others, and finally Mir. Josephs moved that further consideration De postponed until next Monday, which prevailed.

Assessment Bill Defeated.

The bill by MT. Clack of Yell. to provide for the assessment of all the property of the state, and the deduc- tion of debts from personal assess ments was defeated, after half an hours debate. having received only 10 votes, those of Representatives Ash, Bell, Clack, Collier, Copeland of Howard, McGill. Mosley, Rankin, Will Hams and Wilson. MT. Clacl, who se- cured the passage of the same bill in 1901, when it was killed by the Sen ate, led the fight for it, and earnestly pleaded for its passage for the sake of the poor man. MT. Gentry argued against it, and said that the man who owns $500 worth of property and owes $500 would not pay cent of taxes "and that would reach about 90 per cent of the members of this Legila- ture," he added. "I admit that I do not understand what this bill means and I doubt if there is man on this floor who can give an intelligent ex- planation of it.''

THE SENATE TWO YEARS AGO FOUGHT WITH ITS BACK TO
 WALL ON THE SMITH BILL.
LINES WERE CLOSELY DRAWN
Bill Presented With Names of 17 Sen ators Indorsing It and Hard Fight Results-Another Intimates Insur-
 ance Trust Exists in the State.
Little Rock

Little Rock
 Three things were done by the Sen ate that were noteworthy. The Smith bill, to repeal the actuarial bureau, was defeated; minor amendment was placed on the Alexander Edmond son university removal bill without argument.
 Two years ago the Senate fought with it's back to the wall on the Smith bill to abolish the actuarial bu- reau; this year the bill was presented with the names of IF senators indors- ing it. It was evident from that time that the lines were closely drawn, and that the bill would pass if any of the opponents of the measure were ab- sent.
 All were on hand, however, and the only two names not appearing on the roll call were those of Senators Elm cry and Moncrief. They were paired because Senator Moncrief had been called from the chamber. He took a stand for the bill and Senator Emory opposed it.
 After the bill had failed to pass Senator Carter offered a motion to reconsider the vote and lay that mo- ton on the table. Senator Smith, an- ticipating the defeat of his measure, had changed to be on the winning side, so that he could move recon sideration, and not being recognized for that, he offered substitute mo- tion. After several roll calls and soundings of the ballot the motion was carried, IF to 16, Senator Mon crief coming in to break a tie vote, his pair with Senator Emory being thus dissolved
 The debate on the bill was tame, considered to what it was two years previous. Senator Smith opened for the bill and intimated that the peo- pie of Arkansas were not getting cheap insurance because there was a trust which kept out the companies which would compete and reduce the rates.
