GOVERNOR WILL EXERCISE
 VETO ON APPROPRIATION,

Little Rock, March 26.-Within the next day or so, Gov. Brough will exer- else his authority of veto on the op. propriation bills of the last legislature by pruning them down to come within the limits of the states revenue. It has been no small task, but he has labored conscientiously to make the cuts where they will not cripple any institution or department. In some instances it will be found necessary to deprive an institution of some inn provement that had been considered most desirable, but this cannot be avoided.
 The Governor has called in all per sons interested, and attempted to ar rive at basis that will be the most satisfactory. It has not been done in an arbitrary manner, cutting and slic- ing indiscriminately, but after the most careful consideration.

Meanwhile officials, while publicly
rediculing the Carranza suggestion
Nthat neutrals cut off all exports to
the European belngerents, privately
express concern that trouble is to
come. Should Carranza try to stop
shipments of oil from the TamDleo
district he would seriously interfere
with the operations of the British and
French navies and a sharp protest
at least would be made by them. II
easily might involve the United
States, inasmuch as it is we'll known
here that England has let it be known
that she considers most of these oil
fields her own property and will see
that they are operated at any cost
