HOUSE FURTHER APPROVES
 MILEAGE PRINCIPAL TAXATION

Little Rock, March 1.-The House has further approved the millage principle of taxation for the support of the educational institutions by passing a bill by Mir Doyle to set apart one-ninth of a mill for the school for the blind, and three-eigh- teenth of a mill for the deaf mute in- stitute. The first millage bill passed set apart one and one-ninth mills for the university, agricultural schools, and state normal, making total of one and seven-sixteenths mills. This is to be deducted from the general revenue levy for ? IA mills, which will leave only thirty-one thirty-sixths of mill for the support of the state government, the insane asylum, tuber- culosis sanitarium and institutions and expenses otherwise provided for under the present assessment, one-ninth of mill produces S93, ,000, and the bal ance left from the general revenue will therefore be about S700,000. To this must be added the approximate sum of Si,226,000 derived from fran chise. insurance and other sources, a total of nearly two million dollars biennially, which the budget commit tee thinks will be ample to meet all requirements. In addition to this there are several revenue measures passed by the present session which will greatly enhance the general reve- nup

EFFORTS TO ENFORCE CLOSED
 QUAIL SEASON FAILS

Little Rock, March 1.-An effort to enforce a fve-year closed season for quail failed in the House yesterday by a vote of 35-47. Pleas were made for Bob White by Ellis of Randolph. Norfeet, Choate, Caldwell and others. who claim that the quail is one of the most valuable of all insectivorous birds, and therefore one of the farm ers' greatest friends. A further argu- ment in favor of the bill is that the new general game law extends the open season on quail from 60 to 100 days and unless some restriction is provided the quail will be eXtermin- ated in a few years.

BROUGH APPOINTS
 TWO SENATOR'S
Ends Career of Burgess and Sims as Legislators by Ap- pointing J. M. Barkwell, At kins, Charles Walls, Lonoke.

Little Rock, March 1.-The final touch to the legislative career of Ivasson c. Burgess and Samuel Croc- kett Sims was made late Wednesday afternoon when Gov. C. H. Brough an nounced the appointment of J. M Barker of Atkins, and Charles Albert Walls of Lonoke as their successors. Both qualified on Thursday morning and took the seats made vacant by expulsion Wednesday morning.
 J. M. Barker is one of the best known men of Pope county, and c. A. Walls is known to every young man of Arkansas who has been acquainted with University affairs in recent years He was formerly manager of the Uni versity baseball team.
 It was thought that the men would reach Little Rock Wednesday after noon to take the oath of office, and for that reason the members of the Sen. ate declined to transact any business of great importance, for the courts are sometimes called upon to construe legislative actions, and they did not care to jeopardize any important bills by passing them without full at tendance.

Ward asserted his honor had been questioned by Slaughter, the senior senator denying he had broken faith with any man. Previously, after warm debate, the Senate had re- fused to pass the bill making the dean of Medical school, custodian of Old State House, on a tie vote.

SENATE PASSES BILLS
 WITHOUT COMMENT
House Busy-SenatOr Alexander Given Permission to Withdraw Name from Burgess Bill for Board Censorship Movies.

Little Rock, March All the kick and pep was knocked out of the Sen ate by the Wednesday morning ses- sion, so that nothing was left to trans act in the afternoon but business, and the members went at it without cere- mony. Bills were passed without comment, and the roll call soon be- came as monotonous as the hum which saunters through the windows of the rural school on spring day, and reaches the ear of the truant by the side of the nearby creek.
 The Senate bills passed were: Car ter, amending Chicot county fence law; Alexander, to require the Frisco railroad to erect a passenger station in Blytheville; Moncrief, to provide for the sale of 16th section lands.
 The following House bills were passed: Doyle, to change boundary line between Sharp and Lawrence counties; Jarrad, Logan county stock law; Wagnon, for a division of road taxes collected in Thornton; Wilson, fixing the salary of the county super intendent in Mississippi county; Fry and Willard, making judges of Craw- ford and Scott counties ex-officio road commissioners; Adams, amending act creating Indian Bay drainage district; Moore, to permit Batesville to borrow money on it's light plant; Johnson, to require the city clerk in Fort Smith to collect improvement district taxes; Koonce, creating special school dis trict, No. 33, in Conway county; Cald- well, to prohibit taxing of produce, fruit and truck, sold in cities; Jarrad, to provide for the sale of islands forming in the rivers; French, to pro- wide a division of road taxes in Poin- -sett county; Curtis, regulating ap- pointment of drainage district direc- tors in Clay county.
 Senator Alexander was given per mission by the Senate to withdraw his name from the bill introduced by Senator Burgess to provide state board of censorship for moving pie ture shows, which showed him as ioint author. Senator Alexander ex- plained that he had given permission to place his name on the bill without really looking into it, and under re- cent developments, he thought 1t best to let the bill carry the name of the real author.
 ' Senators Carruth, Vann, Greenhouse .Moncrief, Cabiness and Carter pre- sented resolution which was adopt ed, asking for the appointment of committee to determine the author ship of the circular letters, signed Nicodemus, which have been appear ing in the Senate. and to bring him before the body on contempt charges. Senators Carruth, Vann and Moncrief were named as the human sleuth hounds to locate. the offensive writer.
 Senator Collins introduced bill to amend the child labor laws so they will conform to the national laws. Senator Utley offered bill to pay George Vaughan, a Little Rock at torney, S7s9 as fees for collecting back taxes from the American Baux- ite company The bill ratifies deal made by the Saline county court, and permits it to pay the bill.

.A Serious Problem Near


 OMAHA WORLD-HERALD--The demand is growing even in the high est quarters that this Government shall take measures similar to the other governments engaged in war to prevent an extortionate rise In pro- visions. It has taken such action al- ready In regard to materials for mu- nitions and let great contracts or made arrangements for making them. at about half the price at which those articles are selling, in the open mar ket. Lloyd George called attention to the blunders that the English had been making during the last three years. The greatest of those blunders and the one that would have proved disastrous had not practically the whole world joined in the war. was the neglect until the very last mo- ment to secure food supply. The food supply for the population "at prices which it can pay" is just as impor- tant as munitions and soldiers.

BCRROS MAY FEED
 US DURING WAR

TUSCON, Ariz., May 23.-Little, long cared burros may be forced to give up their lives to feed the Ameri- can people in war time. pr. A. E. Vinson of the University of Ari- zona, has advanced theory to be used in Germany and Italy as war food.
 It is claimed that the advent of the motor trucks and railroads has deprived the burro of his occupation of hauling ore from the mines to the railroads and that these little creatures feed on lands which might better be used for cattle and sheep. These burros can be purchased for $2 head. it is claimed, and the, hide will bring 50 cents, reducing the net cost of the burro to $50. In addition to the meat which can be used for sausage. the bones may be ground and fed to the chickens as can the meat which cannot be used.
