CONSTITUTION Is ISSUE
IN ARKANSAS.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Dec. -
The importance of the legislative
session in Arkansas will depend
largely upon the action of the voters
in the special election Dec. IA, for
ratification or rejection OF the pro-
posed constitution submitted by the
constitutional convention. Should
the new constitution he endorsed, a
general revamping of statutes would
be necessary. The constitution. al
though limiting legislative sessions
to 60 days. exempts the first session
after its adoption. It is said "A six
months session would be required
to reenact the laws. The new con-
stitutiOn would contain stringent
prohibition safeguards and would
extend full suffrage to women.
The 1917 legislature passed q pro-
hibitiOn law, but later the supreme
court ruled il was not a violation TO
law 10 bring liquor into the state.
Suffrage in primary elections was
extended by the last legislature.
Should the voters reject the pro-
posed constitution, a budget system
for state institutions and depart
ments; legislation 10 aid crippled
soldiers; a measure to create a par
don board and a law creating a gen
eral utilities commission probably
would be the most important bills
coming up.

TO
EXTEND HIGHWAYS
SeC'y Houston Talks to Agri-
cultural Editors on Needs
of Good Roads.

Cooperative highway construction
under the Federal aid road act must
be resumed as quickly as possible in
full measure, the secretary Of agri-
culture, d. r Houston. stated at
conference Of editors OF agricultural
journals held recently in Washing
ton.
From unexpected balances Of
federal appropriations for the last
few years from state funds beyond
what was necessary to meet the fed
eral allotments. and from amounts
available during the current fiscal
year, approximately $4,000, 600 will
be available for expenditure during
the calendar year. Next year, IL all
the balances should be expended
during this year, and we should
have TO rely solely on the funds &C
cruing next year, there viii be
about $4,000, 900 from federal ap-
preparations. and probably more
than this amount from state
sources. according TO the secretary's
statement. The states. in addition.
will expend sums in excess of what
for federal aid road projects.
''It seems 70 me-" said the secre-
tary, that we should take a fur
Their step-take this step not only
because OF the Importance of good
roads, but also because of the de-
STABILITY of furnishing worthy pro-
jects on which unemployed labor
during the period of readjustment
may be engaged. There will be
many things suggested for which
federal and state funds Will be
sought. Some Of these will be un-
worthy Clearly such public works
as roads are worthy, and it would
be in the public interest to maze
available larger appropriations
from the federal treasury TO be used
separately or in conjunction with
state and local support.
There need be no delay in the
execution Of such a program. The
nation has already provided the
machinery in the department OF az
riculture and in the state highway
commissions. The federal aid road
was fruitful Of good legislation, and
each state in the USon now has
central highway authority with
power and funds to meet the terms
OF the federal act. The two agen-
cies, in conjunction, have been en-
gagged I'm devising well-cOnsidered
road systems and in making sur
veys. plans, and specifications. The
task will be one of selection, and
those should be designated for inn
provement which are of the great
est economic Importance, with due
regard to such military and other
needs as are proper for considera-
ton. There is no necessity for any
departure from this scheme. The
suggestions made have been can
vassed with the president, the sec
rotary Of war, and the postmaster
general. and they are in accord with
the view that additional funds
should be made available TO this de-
partment and that they should be
expened through existing ma
chinery."

"A is expected to be resurrected.
The bill provided that its consti-
tutional provisions were to be sub
mitted to the people for approval,
and the new constitutions should
become operative upon its final rati-
fication by the legislature.
Should the leagues bonding and
state ownership amendments carry,
enactment of laws could be expect
ed bonding the state for the build
ing Of terminal elevators, grain
warehouses, -four mills, packing
plants, public printing plants and
many other industries and enter
prises. The league might even en-
bark in the distribution Of farm ma
chinery, lumber, building supplies,
groceries and other merchandise.
The league stores, numbering prob
ably 40 at this time. would form a
basis for such a wholesale merchan-
dising scheme.
