TO SUBMIT 5 AMENDMENTS
Three to Be Presented to Legislature
 Two to Be Initiated.

Little RocE, Jan. 88.-Due to the de- feat of the proposed new constitution, five amendments are being prepared, for presentation to the legislature for limitation. Under the constitution only three can be submitted at a. general election and the first three in which the process of submission is complet- ed take precedence over all others. IThe amendments, whatever they may be, will be submitted to Arkansas vo:- CTS in the general election in Novemb- CT, 1920. The three amendments to be filed
 with the legislature are being prepar-
 ed by T. M Mehaffy and are about
 completed.
 The first provides for an increase ! in the sa laries of the justices of the Supreme Court from $4,O0O per year to not less than $6,00O nor more than ! $1 ,5OO and that the legislature may increase the number of justices from five to seven also; that circuit judges
 and chancellors shall at stated times
 receive compensation for their serv-
 ices to be ascertained by law, which
 shall not exceed $4,000 a. year. It also provides that the salaries allowed shall not be decreased during the time for which the judges gre elected. The second proposed amendment au- thorizes nine jurors to return verdicts in civil and misdemeanor cases, and the third provides for equal suffrage for women.
 The two proposed amendments for initiation by petition are being cir culated for signatures by the Initts- tive and Rerendum League of Ar
 kansas, of which Dr. Morgan Smith is president and l.. H. Moore executive
 secretary, and land tax measure by
 R. s. Warnock of Magnolia.
 The one by the Initiative and Ref erendum League suggests three provi-
 sions: Removes the restrictions now
 existing on the number of amend
 ments that may be submitted at one election; provides that majority of
 the vote cast on measure shall en- act or reject it, instead of a majority
 of the highest vote cast at the elec-
 tion by community affected, pro-
 vided that such legislation does not
 conflict with the general laws of the
 state.
 The amendment prepared by Mr.
 Warnock provides for a graduated
 land tax by an increasing tax on all
 lands in excess of certain quantity. Amendments presented to the Gen.
 eral Assembly to be submitted must
 first be approved by tie body in a
 joint resolution which must receive
 the signature of the governor, taking | the same course as bill.
 To initiate an amendment the prop csition must first receive the signa~ 1 lures of eight per cent of the vote lpclled in the preceding election. Then 1 it must be filedNwith fhe secretary of state When properly certified by that official and proclaimed by the gover-
 nor, if within the number permitted |by the constitution. 1t will be placed

 ton must be filed wFh the secretary of state DO less thanV Vour months Re=
