 FOR BAD CHECKS
KENDALL BILL WOULD PROTECT FARMER AND MERCHANT FROM MAN WHO BUYS, GIVES BIG
 CHECK AND VANiSHES.

At the solicitation of farmers and merchants of Madison county, Sena- tor Kendall has introduced in the up- per branch of the General Assembly a bill which he hopes will prevent stock buyers coming into Arkansas, buying up a number of head, shipping them off, and paying with check which is no good The Kendall bill makes it a felony to give check for more than S100, without the funds in the bank to back it up.
 There are various ways of getting after a man who makes purchases in this manner, but there are many tech nical ways of evading the fraud and other statutes, so Senator Kendall de cided a law which will making the giving of such l& check felony, was the simplest way out of bad diff culty, hence the bill.
 The Kendall bill in full follows: "An Act To Be Entitled, An Act To
 Amend Act 25S of the Acts of the
 General Assembly of the State Of
 Arkansas, approved March 29, 1913.
 Regulating the giving and making
 of Checks and Overdrafts
 "Section 1. That section three of Act No. 25S of the Acts of the General Assembly of the State of Arkansas, approved March 29, 1913, is hereby amended so as to read as follows:
 Section 3. Any person or any of hcer or officers of any corporation or association or individual who shall violate the provisions of this Act shall be deemed guilty of misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof shall be fined in any sum not less than Twen- v-fiye ($25.00l nor more than five hun dred t$50000) Dollars. Provided, that if any check or draft mentioned in Section 1 of this Act shall exceed the sum of One Hundred f$100.00) Dol lars then any person who shall issue such checks or drafts in excess of One Hundred ($1G000A Dollars shall be deemed guilty of a felony and upon conviction thereof shall be imprison- ed in the penitentiary not less than one year nor more than five years.

HE JUST COULDN'T
 STAY OUT OF TROUBLE

Hank Bitner, white, user of mar cotic drugs, who was discharged be fore Municipal Judge w. E. Woodruff Monday upon 6 charge of purse snachting with the understanding that he leave town. was arrested the same day in Argenta and convicted before Municipal Judge James Gerlach and fined in two cases of petit larceny. Being unable to pay his fine, he was delivered to the Pulaski county con vict farm Tuesday by Jailer Clifton Evans.

Considering the loss from bad gin ming $2,O00,00O, the loss of $25, 100000 because of the practice Of deducting Excessive tare and the $7,500,000 loss on high grades of cotton, and we have a total loss of $34, 100000, all of which can be materially corrected. As sumingi that Arkansas grows one-fif- teenth of the cotton crop, then her loss from these sources is $2,300,000 per annum.
 Tn the government survey in 1913 1914, 3S000 samples were examined. United States says that fully 10 per .aent of these samples were so badly ginned as to be lowered about one grade in value. Assuming that the re- suits of the survey fairly represents the condition in the cotton belt, the losses for the season 1913-1914 from poor ginning alone exceed $2,000,000" :"
 During the discussion of the bill the following special message from the governor was read;

Representatives James R. Alexan- der, of Pulaski county, president of the Scotts Cotton Growers Associa- tion, and one of the most progressive farmers of the county, made his maid en speech in the House of Represen- tatives Wednesday afternoon. It was a convincing argument, from the view Warehouse and Marketing Bureau bill should pass, and when it came to vote there were only six votes against it.
 The representative of Van Buren county had argued that the farmers do not want the law, but MT. Alexander, replying to him, declared that he is farmer and a ginner, and he knew farmers. The president of the Farm CTS Union had told him only a short time before that they wanted the bill passed He asserted that the illegal tolls taken from cotton bales and other losses that might be remedied, would be enough to build cotton mills to handle the produce of the South. He further said the farmers would stand for a ginners' tax of five cents, as originally proposed, before they would He declared that the way Arkansas cotton is handled is scandal and that this bill would do much toward cor recting the evil.
 The Davis warehouse bill is very voluminous It provides for a system of warehouses and method of CO., operative marketing for the products of the farm; for a marketing bureau; requires the proper ginning of cotton by licensed and bonded ginners. and provides a system of grading agricul- tnral products; for the creation of 1 Board of Supervisors of Warehouses, to be composed of the governor, sec cretary of state and the agricultural commissioner, the latter being ex-ofti- cio warehouse commissioner and SUI pervisor of markets, at a salary of S1,200, in addition to the $1,S00 he now receives; one deputy to be ap- pointed at salary of $2,500 year. an expert accountant at $1,800, and a clerk and stenographer at $1,200 They shall also be paid their travel ing expenses.
 All ginners shall be licensed, with out cost, and shall be bonded. They shall pay tax of 2 1-2 cents per bale for all cotton ginned, making requisi- tion through the state treasurer for ginners' tags The bond shall be at the rate of $1 for each bale ginned, but shall not be less than $500 nor more than S2,50O The fund for the maintenance of the department shall be derived solely from the ginners' tax.
