uouse Bill Giving Cities Power to Collect Occupation Tax passes-Also Howard County Depositary Measure.

r;+tla Rock. Feb. 24-No tax payer. . matter how much he wants for his n,orev. could find cause for objection ., the way the Senate went at its husiness Friday afternoon. As resolution had been adopted soon after the noon hour to keep out general leg ;.lation. unless it originated in the uouse there was nothing for long ,,inded debate, and when the hour of .d;ournment was reached, everything onv Senator was interested in had heen passed or advanced as far as it could be during the day. Thus those who desired night session were robbed of their thunder. There was no reason for night session.
 Three new Senate measures were introduced-by Senator Moncrief. re- sulatng road working in Arkansas county; by Senator Alexander, fixing the salary of the county superintend- ent in Mississippi county; and Sena- tor Goodwin, creating the North Ar kansas Road Improvement District Mo- ?. This district connects with the Mo- 1 district, which will be construct ed from Little Rock to Batesville, at Batesville, and be continued from there to Mammoth Spring, through Salem. This highway will be first passed upon by the property owners along the route. It connects at Nam moth Spring with the Ozark Trails.
 The Senate indefinitely postponed the Limbrocker bill providing sys- tenn of highways for Sevier county after recalling it from the roads and highways committee. Senator Cabi- ness stated he had this agreement with the author of the bill.
 The principal House bills passed were those by Mir. Brooks, giving cities of Arkansas the power to col feet occupation tax, and thus replace some of the revenue lost through a "bone dry Arkansas, and the Burrow bill providing for the promotion of vocational education.
 Because the advocates of the bill would not consent to postponement, and because they feared it would be pad precedent to pass bill refunding money paid to the state, even though It might be enormously collected, without a careful investigation. the Senate voted 13 to 15 on the Gentry olil to return to Mrs. Virginia B. Henry SLIGO paid by her as inherit anee tax. The bill was thus defeated, but Senator Bush gave notice he would move reconsideration on Mon day
 The House bills passed were as fol- lOws: Davis of Monroe, to regulate road building in Monroe county: Adams, for the formation of improve Hent districts in Phillips county; Co., Ner' consolidating the offices of road 0'erseer and county judge in Marion county; Humphrey, repeating Stone ana lzard county road district; Row iand' creating Lonoke special school %S'rlct' Hot Sphing county; Cope 'a'u ot lzard, creating Mt.
