Governor erough in Message To leg

That An Emergency
Exists.

Little Rock. -- The Arkansas Leg
islature convened this year to consid-
er road and profteering legislation.
The Senate adopted a resolution pro
Niding that all profteering measures
be referred to a special committee.
A large number of local road bills
were introduced in both houses Gur-
ing the first day. Representative
Mason introduced bill requiring
merchants to mark cost price on all
merchandise. Representative Hill
house of Newport moved that It be
tabled. II was lost by vote Of SO
t. 40. Both Houses met in joint ses-
SION TO hear Gov. Brough's message.
1t dealt entirely with subjects con-
tanned in his call for the special ses-
sion.
In his message 10 the Legislature
Gov. Brough made the following ref
crence to the prohteering clause in
his call: But | am persuaded that
an emergency, a condition and not 4
theory, confronts us and that would
be derelict in my duties as governor
did not request your honorable
body to consider matters OF very
grave present and future consc-
quence to our commonwealth.
in my opinion, the problem OF re-
construction are as weighty and as
clamorous for solution as the grave
issues when confronted us during
The recent war itself.
Among these problems. the one
which most vitality affects the people
OF our nation and our state is thai
Of the high cost of living and its cor
ollary, tho cost Of high living. 90
Government statistics show that
without an $500 income
are undeInolrishcd. so great is the
cost of food and clothing.
Admittedly several factors have
contributed to the present high cos.
Ct living: first, the imitation of or
currency; second, our large exporta-
tons abroad. which have brought
the American consuming public in
.eompetitinn with the foreign oopsuin
ing public; third, labor shortage
which has resulted in a relative
shortage OF production; fourth, mo-
ropolies ando boarding Of supplies
