death Of Chief Justice Richard K.
Irwin OF Fort Wayne. which occurred
last week This leaves one vacancy on
the Supreme court bench
Some persons ere anticipating d.
vided court on the appeal. and that
two judges will favor the law and two
will be opposed to it However. there
is nothing on which to base any such
prediction unless someone has inti-
mate knowledge Of the private opin-
ions of the judges Few persons ex-
pect a unanimous decision, however.
one OF the judges has indicated by his
attitude and expressions In the past
that he favors woman suffrage. Just
how the others look at the proposi-
ton is not known. but il IS believed
10 he certain that the four Judges Will
not agree on all things.
Just what the situation would be in
case the four judges divided equally
Tor and against the law Is an interest
ing question.
ono Of the most interesting briefs
that has been filed in the Supreme
court in many a day has been filed IN
this case BY Elias Salisbury. an Indian
apoIis lawyer who is not even an at
torney in the case. He fled the brief
as friend Of the court" because. he
said. he felt that the court was en-
titled to all the information 1t could
get on this important subject.
Salisbury went back to the forma-
ton Of Indiana as a state and studied
ell the statutes enacted by the Indiana
Ie gislature. touching on the oualifica-
ton OF voters He found more than
seventy special laws enacted by the
legislature beginning with 1915. each
one fixing the qualifications for voters
liz different towns and cities of the
state. There was a wide difference be-
tween Gil OF these laws. Voters In
some towns were required TO have
certain qualihcatio while In other
rlaces other qualifications were set
out In some places every person re-
siding within the limits OF the town"
over the age of twenty-one was en-
titled to vote This included men and
women without distinction.
In other places only males over 21
could vote. and still other places re
quired that voters must be taxpayers
and householders. In one town every
person owning real estate in the town.
whether he lived in the town or not.
was entitled to vote at town elections.
Salisbury contends that all of these
laws prove that the legislature had
the power to determine the qualifca-
ton Of voters. as it did in the pres
ent law And since the new constitu-
ton, adopted in 1851. provided that
all officers not named in the consti
tuition should be chosen in such man
ner ss now is. or may hereafter be.
provided by law" and the above
mentioned variety Of laws were in
force fixing qualifications for voters.
Salisbury contends that the new con-
stitution also carried the power to
the legislature TO continue to fix tho
qualifca lions for voters.
This is one OF the propositions that
has never before been brought out
forcibly in any or the briefs. and It
may have an important bearing on
the result Of the case.

How can man who cannot afford to
buy Liberty Bond or to make any con-
siderable contribution to the Red Cross
help our beloved America to win the
war? As such a one I find every day
in my occupation as a freight handler
opportunities of rendering valuable aid
to our government by seeing to it that
all government shipments or shipments
for government contracts. which come
under my notice, are expedited with all
possible dispatch to their destinations.
and by using extra vigilance that these
shipments are not misplaced or misload-
ed. but are carefully handled and slowed
in cars so as TO reach destination in per-
feet condition. giving them preference
over many other classes of freight. and
working overtime when necessary. that
they may not suffer delay.

BRICKHOUSE INSTRUCTS
 ON MOTHERS PENSION LAW.

Little Rock, May 10-State Labor Commissioner, Ben D. Brickhouse has addressed letter to the County jug ges of the forty counties in which the Mothers Pension law applies, being Act No 326. This gives the judge discretion to allow a maximum pen sion of $10 for the first dependant child and $5 for each additional child under the age of 15 years where the mother has no other means of support He says: "As this law comes under our department and as I understand, before money could be paid out there would have to be fund created by the quorum court for this specific pur- pose, which presume would be call- ed the Mothers Pension Fund. I thought it would not be bad idea to call your attention to the fact now, so if you desire you could call it to the attention of your quorum court in order to have a specific appropriation pro- vided for so that if any such matters were referred to you, and you thought you would be justified, you would then be in position to render whatever help you saw fit.

A CARD FROM
 JUDGE CILCHRIST

To The School Directors of Hot Spring l County.
 Desire to call attention to a eTwo Days School in Canning Preserving and Drying" to be held at the Court House on the 23rd, and 24th of this month, by Miss Archer, lady who IS employed by the government and who comes highly recommended as an expert in this line of business.
 It is desired that the Directors of each and every School District send at least one delegate, lady of mature years who can attend this school and then take charge of the work in their neighborhoods and thereby give to each and every family in the county the advantage of the very best and surest methods of Canning, Preserving and Drying fruits and Vegetables of all kinds. There never was time in the Worlds History when more activi- ty in this and all other lines of indust- ry, were manifest and not only by the State and National Government, but by most all classes of People. The Government is spending enormous sums each year in training men and women to go out and help all classes in this and in many other lines of business, and certainly if men and women with special training, as doc tors, lawyers, teachers nurses and men and women trained in many other lines of business, can be more helpful than men and women without training, it is then very evident that we should get great deal of good out of this move ment, with but tlittle time and no other expense
 I therefore urge that you get togeth- CT and select one of your ladies who will take an interest in this work and explain to them that the ladies of Mall vern will entertain them Royalty while here and will feel disappointed if every District is not represented
 Do this at your earliest convenience and send me the name of your. Dele gates, and the necessary arrangements will be made.
 Yours as ever.

REVENUE BILL
 lS INTRODUCED
Bill Provides $33 Per Capita. Noth- ing Is Overlooked by Measures Provision.

Washington, May 9-The war ta, bill extending it's excises to ever, American home was presented to the House today by the Ways and Means Committee with plans for quick pas sage.
 l It proposes special taxes to raise $1 ,800, ,000,0 in addition to the pres. ent normal revenue of $1 ,50O ,000 ,0OO Under it the American people will pay direct taxes of $33 per capita. The people of the British Isles-half as many, are paying per capita of $6O. The principal features of the new war levy are the increase in income and profits taxes, but there are in creases in internal revenue rates and customs duties. The list of taxes prob ably is the most formidable ever faced by the American people.
 The household, light heat and tele- phone bills admission tickets to am- usements, fire and life insurance, rail- way tickets, automobiles, automobile tires and tubes, soft drinks, postage rates, golf clubs and baseball bats, club dues and host of other everyday necessiaries or luxuries will be taxed.
 Increased postage rates on newspa- pers, arranged in a zone system, are such that publishers say many news papers will be forced out of business. Protests against many features of the law are pouring in and attacks upon it will center on the Senate Finance Committee, which will conduct public hearings and probably make some amendments.
 Democratic Leader Kitchin said that general debate will begin tomorrow and that he hopes to pass it by satur- day. There is some objection, how ever, and it probably will be passed
  the early part of next week.
 The Ways and Means Committee made a report saying in part:
 After carefully considering the ex- periences of the European countries at war, the committee believes it is sound economic policy for the present gener- ation to bear fair and equitable por- tion of the burden of financing the war and recommends that the remaining contemplated expenses of the govern ment for the remainder of this and the whole of the next fiscal year be raised by taxation. The effects of this recon mendation is that about one-half of this contemplated expenditure will be met by taxation and the other half from the proceeds of the bonds. "The committee believes that the American people were never in more favorable condition to pay a reason able amount of taxes for war purposes in addition to those for normal pur. poses.
 The committee estimated the wal expenditures for the remainder of this and the whole of next fiscal year al about $s,8O0,OOO, ,0OO, exclusive of tho bond issue to finance the foreign loan.
 We have authorized bond issue of s$2, ,00O, ,0OO, ,OOO," it added, "to pro vide portion of the necessary funds to finance war. Therefore the amount necessary to raise by taxation, or g further bond issue, at this time, is $1,. 800, ,Oo0, ,0oO.'

LONDON, OctS.--Dispatches reach ing here from Melbourne today report that a whale boat which was carrying a crew for the German raider Seadlcr. which vessel is reported stranded on Mophea island, in the South Pacific, was captured by an Australian patrol vessel in the vicinity of Fiji Island and has been brought to New Zealand.
 The reports say that the boat con- tained a light naval gun at the time of capture and a number of the type of guns carried by German marines were also found concealed among sundry assortment of baggage and marine equipment.
