 Amend the state constitution so that personal property as well as real estate can be taxed for road building purposes.
 That all legislative acts be sub mitted under the referendum if de- sired.
 That all expenditures of public money be made public in accordance with the publicity act"

JOINT CAMPAIGN
Kirby and Caraway Will Probably
 Make Joint Campaign.

Little Rock, May '. = (SpeciaD There is probability that there will be joint campaigns growing out of the present political situation
 Senator Kirby, who declined a cam paign with Senator Clark, but that he Will not be averse to a joint campaign with Congressman Caraway, and MT. CaraWay has intimated that he is ready to meet all corners, any time, and place. And a joint campaign be- tween MT. Kirby and MT. Caraway would certainly attract attention.
 And it would be strange if it were impossible to stir up joint cam paign among the eight candidates for governor. Smead Powell says, it is unofiicially reported, that he is ready for any one, and it is reported that MT, Floyd is also anxious to measure swords with his opponents.
 So it appears probable that the event of the summer will be relieved by oratorical contests besides which collegiate contests or Compression al fireworks will pale into insignii- cace.

TIE SOLDIERS BONUS
 IS TO BE POSTPONED
Members of Congress Cannot Agree on Method Of Raising the
 Bonus Funds.

Washington, May 5.-Postponment further efforts to pass soldiers bonus legislation until next fall is probable. This is being advocated by some of the Republican members of the Ways and Means Committee who favor the bill in it's present form.
 These members believe that unless a sales tax act be provided there is no suitable source Of revenue to raise the necessary fund.
 It is conceded that the opponents of a sales tax have made it impossible to pass a soldiers bonus bill incor- pOrating such a provision at the pres ent session of Congress. There seems no satisfactory basis of compromise in the minds of supporters of the sales tax. They are unalterably opposed to such a tax on war profits. as is ad- vocated by Representative Johnson Of Republicans and by Representative Henry T. Rainey, Democrat, Illinois.
 It is expected that both the 'Repub- lican and Democratic conventions will declare for a soldiers bonus. Their platform declarations may help to clear up the situation.
 No meeting either of the Republican members of the Ways and Means Com mittee has been held since the Re- publican caucus on Friday night and none has been called
