SOLONS ARE ASKED
TO OBEY THE LAWS
GOVERNOR BRoUGH's ATTITUDE
SET FORTH IN SPECIAL MES
SAGE TO LEGISLATURE.
ASK LEGISLATORS TO ASSIST
Requests strict Compliance With Con-
stitutiona Compliance Regarding 80
Days Publication in Territory
Affected BY Local Bills.
Little Rock.

Little Rock
Governor Brough's attitude toward
local and special legislation was set
forth in a special message which he
sent to the legislature. He declares
that he does not wish to be arbitrary,
but insists that the Legislators assist
him in the establishment Of a prece-
dent for a strict compliance with the
constitutional provision requiring 30
days publication in the territory to be
affected by any local bill. His mes
sage follows:
There seems to be a prevalent un-
derstanding concerning my view upon
local bills. In justice to myself and
in a spirit of fairness to the member
ship of the legislature | take this
method of declaring my feeling upon
the subject Of local legislation. Since
the members of the legislature did
not know until a few days ago my
desire to have the law strictly com
piled with relative to the statutory
publication required of local measures,
and since it is too late now to have
the bills published for 80 days before
their introduction in either branch OF
the legislature, with reasonable GER
tainty of securing their passage, |
hereby announce that | will consider
upon their merits the bills of a local
interest that have heretofore passed
this body, or that will be passed dur
ing this week.
Thereafter, however, l do earnest
ly urge upon every man Of this Cen
eral Assembly that all local bills be
given publication before presented to
me for my signature This is mat
ter of utmost importance, and | am
transmitting this message in an at
tempt at fair dealing and in an ef-
fort to best conserve the public inter
est. | feel sure that this legislature
has no desire to disregard the plain
inhibtons of the statutes, nor have
any disposition to encroach upon a
coordinate branch of the government,
Therefore earnestly appeal to
this body to assist me in establishing
the precedent of a strict adherence to
the statutes controlling this class of
legislation, I earnestly urge every
member who champions a measure
solely of local concern to see that
said measure has been given fair pub
lication, and that the people Of the To-
cality affected have been given rea-
sonable LOtice before said measure is
presented to me for final disposition"

The report of the Arkansas Com
mission for .he Feeble Minded was
formally presented to both houses Of
the Legislature Thursday morning,
January 11th.
The Commission consists OF Dr. J.
l.. Greene, chairman; Durand Whip
pie, secretary, and ex-Gov. ]. NJ. Flu.
trell, Hon. Louis Josephs and DR.. C.
w. Garrison. 1t was appointed by the
governor two years ago under author
ity of House Concurrent Resolution
No. 10, which directed that such
commission be appointed to ascertain
the conditions and needs Of the feeble
minded in the state, and to report
their findings and recommendations
to the present General Assembly
The Commission reported that a
partial survey of the state showed
that while there probably are fewer
cases of feeble mindedness, in proper
ton to the population, than in any
other state, there still were at least
1900 children of school age that were
feeble minded, and that at least one
family in every thousand females was
composed Of mental detectives.
It reported that feeble minded per
sons are very much n>Ore prolific than
normal people and that the defect is
inheritaDle; that all the children OF
feeble minded parents may be poten,
tial criminals, paupers, prostitutes
and spreaders of disease.
The Commission unanimouslyreport-
ed that prompt action should be taken
at once, not only to care for those
cases of mental defect that require
institutional care, but also to restrict,
in some manner, the indiscriminate
breeding Of these burdens on and
sometimes enemies to society.
The Commission finds that at pres
ent there are more than 200 feeble
minded inmate of the State Hospital
for Nervous Diseases, who are not in
sane; that over 200 feeble minded
detectives, not criminals-are contin-
ed in the state penitentiary; that
there are q definitely feeble minded
boys in the Reform School, at least Is
in the School for the Deaf and some
in the Blind School, making total Of
more than 45O definitely feeble mind
ed inmates at present being cared
for by the state, without taking into
consideration the higher grades or
border-line cases.
In the existing state institutions it
costs much more to care for the fee
BILE minded than it would in a proper
ly equipped institution, in addition to
which they cannot do nearly as much
for their maintenance in the old insti-
tutions as they could in a school spe
cially prepared for them.
The Commission figures that an in
stitution for only those feeble mind
ed now in state institutions would ef-
feet a saving Of more than $4,000
year to the state.
The superintendent Of all the exist
ing institutions are quoted in state
ments to the effect that school for
the feeble minded should be started
at once,
The Commission asks for total
cash appropriation to start the school
of only ten thousand dollars year,
for two years.
The Commission specially requests
the friends of the measure throughout
the state to request their representa-
tives in the Legislature to support the

PLAN TO GO SLOWLY
In BIG LOAN issues
Reserve Board Recommends Offer
ing Certificates in Blocks, to be
Retired by Bonds Fortnightiy.

Washington, April 3O.-The Fed
eral Reserve Board has recommen-
ded to Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo that funds to be raised I'M
der the $7,000,00O,000 War Finance
law be obtained gradually.
1t proposes offering to the banks
of the country blocks of Treasury
certificates, to be retired later with
bonds every two weeks.
Indications are that Mr.. McAdoo
soon will announce the offer of an
other block of certificates. The pro-
ceeds would be applied to loans to
be made to France and Italy. These
will total from 5000, 100000 to
$500, 100000.
The boards suggestion contem-
plates that the certificates shall be
offered to highest bidders. No offer
below par will be accepted. The Of
fer would be open to all banks, State
and private institutions, as well as
members of the reserve system. 1t
also would be open to individuals.
T. Certificates would be convertible
into bonds or payable in cash at the
option of the holder If taken by the
banks exclusively, the certificates
could be used in lieu of cash in pay
ing for bond subscriptions.
Under this plan, a bank whose de-
posters subscribe to the bonds would
not have to forward cash. 1t could
forward certificates, thus strengthen
ing it's financial position. 1t also
would avoid the risk of disturbance
in the tmoney market by large with
drawal of money.

her, and all bottles remaining were
broken up, and a visit made to all
people supplying her with milk, to
impress upon them the danger to
themselves and others in allowing
bottles to be brought to her, after
which she was made to send COW

only one of several cases found US

This is only a few illustrations of
how this Association has tried to
help the community in its efforts for
better health and sanitation.
