Subjects Included.
 Governor Brough Monday issued a proclamation calling the legislature to convene in special session at noon Mon day. September % The governor spec flied four subjects to be taken up by the solons. Unless a majority of two. thirds of each branch of the legislature votes to consider other matters. no other legislation can he considered.
 The subjects specified by the gover- nor in his proclamation are as follows:
 First, to enact such laws as may be necessary to decrease the high cost of living.
 Second. to enact such laws as will enable cities and towns to collect all additional tax from motor vehicles to be used for street purposes.
 Third for the purpose of enacting laws for establishing local road. bridge 1 drainage, school and levee improve ment districts, and amending and cur ing defects in existing special local laws for the same, and ratifying. con tirming and validating such laws as will permit the reconstruction or eX- ! tension through Improvements districts of waterworks systems. to the end that cities and towns or new territory talk en therein may be supplied with ade Quate service.
 Fourth, to appropriate q sufficient sum to pay for services rendered and expenses incurred during the biennial period ending March 31, 1919.
 Governor Brough said that he had received several requests to incorpo- rate ill the call the subject of requir- ing the study of the constitution of the United States to be included in the course of study in the public schools. but that he was informed by the Department of Education that this has been included in the course for this year, and that it probably will re- main.
 Two Anti-PrOfiteering Bills.
 Two bills already have been pre- pared by Attorney General John D. Arbuckle tending to curtail profiteer- ing and hoarding of foodstuffs, which will be presented to the legislature. One deals only with the selling of mer- chandise. while the other deals spe- officially with hoarding, It is believed it will require considerable time for the sOlons to agree upon the wording of the two measures. Merchants all over the state already are protesting against several features of the pro. posed measure drafted by the attor- ney general.
 Governor Brough several weeks ago called a meeting of the attorney gen eral, the circuit judges and prosecuting attorneys of the IS judicial districts. when the subject of protiteering was ulSCtiSStu ENcNtidl NoHttltlfttS Ntit held subsequently,, which resulted in the framing of the two proposed bills 1 by Mir. Arbuckle.
 The second subject named by the governor, that of enabling cities and towns to collect additional taxes from motor vehicle owners. is for the bcne- | fit of towns and cities of the second class, it was said yesterday. Cities of the first class already are permitted ! to levy such taxes.
 Some officials at the capitol yester- day said thaa the wording of the rem edial road and drainage legislation clause in the proclamation leaves the way open for the enactment of addi- tional special road laws, as well as the repeal of others.
 The proposition of reconstructing and extending waterw0rks systems through improvement districts, as pro vided in the call, was included pri- marily for the benefit of Jonesboro. Craighead county, it was said Resi- dents of that city desire to recon Struct their waterworks system. and without aid from the legislature fl cannot be- done.
