 tics, who ten years ago dared mention statewide prohibition or those brav- CT statesmen who, as late as five years ago, dared suggest that one- half our citizenship should be granted the right of franchise. Now those, who would dare oppose prohibition, woman's suffrage or good roads legis- lation, find themselves in a woeful minority.
 May overdo Good Thing.
 It is not that there is any opposi- ton to good roads, for the good roads sentiment is stronger than ever, but there is feeling that even the good may be overdone. Both Commission CT Owen and Governor Brough, who have been the states most ardent good roads advocates, have recently made the statement, that the state should be more deliberate in the fu- ture and, in effect, should complete existing projects before undertaking new ones.
 The prediction made last week that the extra session would not consider any business other than that provided for in the governors call has been yer flied. The legislators were not overly anxious to serve this time, anyway, and were loathe to take up additional time with extraneous matters.
 Efforts were made in both the Sen ate and House to precipitate fight on the Arkansas Corporation Commits sion, in line with the opposition start ed by Stuttgart in which 43 other mu- nicipalities have joined. Governor Brough has declined to issue supple mental call, including this and several other matters, advising Stuttgart and others, who may have grievances, to appeal to the courts for their remedy.
 The opposition, however, was not satisfied with this, and insisted upon some action being taken by the legis- lature. A resolution in the Senate was offered and contended for by Sen- ator Emory, author of the bill creat- ing the Commission, providing for an extension of the extra session, so that he might offer bill providing for it's abolition. This, however, was not ac- ceptable to majority or the senate and was promptly rejected.
 In the House, the opposition was led by Felix Smith, the young represents tive from Hot Spring county, who of cred a resolution that it be the sense of the General Assembly that the Commission should be abolished. The resolution met with comparatively lit tie favor, the opposition being led by Kidder of Pulaski, Kennedy of Sebas- tian, and Doyle of Lawrence, who sue ceeded in tabling the resolution by a very large majority.
 The fight may be brought up this week in some other form, but it is III L.
