 Least Another Week

Lltlle ROCK
 The constitutional convention re- versed itself on the prohibition amendment adopted several weeks ago. end after a heated debate pass ed a measure more drastic than any yet adopted by any state in the Union, it was stated on the floor of the convention. The measure adopt ed was introduced by Delegate Clay Sloan of Lawrence county. and reads as follows:
 Section Tt shall be forever un- lawful for any person, firm, corpora tion or association to manufacture any intoxicating liquors of any kind in this state.
 Sec. 2-It shall be forever unlaw ful for any person, firm, corporation or association to import into, deliver, sell, own or keep within this state any intoxicating liquors of any kind, except wine for sacramental purposes and alcohol for medicinal, industrial or scientific purposes.
 "The legislative powers of the state
 
 enforcement of this article"
 Col. Joseph W. House, one of the few surviving members of the 1894 constitutional convention, vigorously opposed the measure and denounced it in unmeasured terms, saying that the idea of preventing man from having liquor in his home for medici- nal purposes was preposterous.
 The convention again battled with the proposition to adjourn, but deci1- ed to remain in session at least one more week.
 Delegate McRae of Prescott offered a substitute for section 5 of the taxa tion proposals, an amended section of the old constitution providing for equal and uniform taxation of all property in the state, but exempting town, city, levee and improvement district bonds from taxation, as well as charities, parsonages, schools, ceIG- eteries and endowment funds for schools and charitable institutions not invested in real estate.
 Col. McRae said that he offered the substitute in the interest of harmony and in order that the convention could make more headway in the tax ation discussion, which had occupied nearly two weeks time.
