chairman of the Chamber of Com
merce, at Deming:
Il think that the manner in which
the soldiers have behaved themselves
here is a little short of remarkable,
especially the gentlemanly behavior of
the Arkansas boys. We have had no
disorderly conduct on the streets;
there has not been a pedestrian mo-
Tested or house robbed; our wives
and daughters are free to come and go
at any hour of the day or night; there
has not been a shooting or cutting

filled with life, love of adventure and
enthusiasm, and l wish to say that
their conduct shows the character and
high purpose of our young Ameri-

STATE CAPITOL
NEWS LETTER
THE CONSTITUTIONAL coNVEN.

FOR WOMEN" WINS A POINT
WOMEN" WINS A POINT.

No matter what legal steps are TAX.
en-, there will be a Constitutional Con.
vention in Little Rock, to open No
yember 10. That much is assured
Notwithstanding the point of order
raised on the passage of the bill in
the House by Representative Johnson
Of Sebastian county. He maintained
that the bill, which carries an appro.
priatiOn of $4,000 for the expenses
of the convention, required 67 votes,
or two,thirds of all elected to the
House, to be legally carried. The bill
was declared passed by Speaker Ca.
zort on a vote Of "a to 40, he holding
that majority only was necessary,
1t being considered by him a necessa-
ry expense of the government.
Governor c. H. Brough and many
legal authorities sustain the ruling of
Speaker Cazort, and all expect the Su-
preme Court to sustain the ruling il a
test case is carried to the Supreme
Court. These authorities do not class
the appropriation for the Panama.Pa-
cific Exposition building as the same
hence the Supreme Court ruling in
that case is not germane to the ques-
ton. The state capitol case of State
VS.. Sloan, is directly in line, and the
decision will probably govern If the
case is carried higher.
1t now appears as though there will
be no contest, but should there be-
and the Supreme Court rules against
the bill, it can destroy only one sec.
tion-the appropriation. The legality
of the portion of the bill providing for
the convention cannot be questioned.
The convention can then assemble,
and Governor Brough can declare an
emergency appropriation to defrav the
expenses, depending upon the leSis.
lature of 1919 to care for the def.
cheney.
There has already been a bill intro
duced in the House to govern the con-
test for seats in the convention This
bill will prevent anyone spending mon
ey on a candidate, or any interest g.
erting influence for candidates.
Questions which will be considered
by the convention are now being freely
discussed. 1t is admitted that s}me
steps will be taken to give relief now
possible only at the hands Of the Gen
eral Assembly, by increasing the aJ.
thority of quorum courts, or in some
other manner, and thus saving the
time the Assembly now devotes to
the consideration OF local bills

Texas legislature to extend suffrage

and Plowman read the story. With
the true newspaper instinct, Plowman
started out to see if there was not
story of the same kind possible in Ar
kansas. He met another newspaper
man and asked him what chance there
would be to get the bill introduced in
the Arkansas legislature. Plowman
is no suffragist, but he saw a good
story for his paper and wanted it. The
compatriot was we'll advised on the
policies of the different legislators,
and knowing that Representative John
Riggs, another newspaper man, was an
ardent advocate of Votes for Won

hunt for Riggs. The following morn

story about the possibilities OF a bill
that would extend suffrage to women
Just as soon as he could get legal
advice and the bill drawn, Represen-

House, and when it Comes to a fight

Senator Garrett of Okolona intro
duced a somewhat similar measure
in the Senate several days later, but
it is still pending there.
