Statute the Court Holds.
Little Rock.

Little Rock
Cotton planters who operate gins
only for their own benefit and for
the cotton of their tenants and share
choppers do not come within the pro-
visions Of the state law which pro
vides for the licensing of cotton gins,
according to ruling of the Arkansas
Supreme Court The licensing law
went into effect August 1 last. 1t re-
quires ginners to furnish bond of not
less than $500 nor more than $4,000
and to place metal tags on all bales
ginned and to preserve two samples of
the cotton ginned. Violations of the
law renders the ginner liable to
fine of $1,000
Several. large planters of Jefferson
county got together and protested to
Commissioner Page that their private
gins should not come under the pro
visions of the new state ginning act,
as they said it would be impossible
to operate the small gins if it were
necessary to secure state licenses for
them. 1t was arranged that test
should be made. August IL Mr.. An
drews and other Jefferson county
planters secured in the Jefferson
Chancery Court temporary injunc-
ton restraining Commissioner Page
from enforcing the law so far as their
private gins were concerned. October
6 the Jefferson county chancellor
made the injunction permanent and
Attorney General Arbuckle then ap-
pealed the case to the state Supreme
Court.
The Supreme Court, in its decision
said a gin operated for the benefit of
land owner for himself and tenants
and share troopers does not come
within the general definition of pub
lie gin," and the act as written ap-
plies only TO public gins. The de-
cree of the lower court was affirmed.

Fairbanks and Marie Dressler ap-
peared on the steps at the east front
OF the capitol, on the spot where pres
idents of the United States stand
when they take the oath Of office at

of senator's and congressman, together
with several thousand Washingtonians,

some of the legislators at being forced
