tions to take care of their growing
needs, consistent with the srgie's re-
sources.
We favor modern prison methods,
and the prevention OF. crime. TO this
end we urge the establishment in ey-
cry county Of the state, under existing
laws, of an honorary welfare board
from citizens of the county and a jul
venile court with probation officer.
I'VE favor laws for the protection
Of labor, for the right Of collective
bargaining, and we recommend that
proper safeguards and protection be
provided for those who labor We
believe that their reasonable de-
mands should be considered in a. spir-
it of fairness by our law-making
bodies and the business world.
I'VE recognize the growing neces-
sity for encouragement of better
farming methods and increased pro
duction. We heartily endorse the es-
adjustment of better marketing
system for the products of the farm.
Home ownership must be stimulated
and living conditions on the farm
should be improved As far as our
state government can cooperate with
the farmers in obtaining these needs
we insist that this be done
I'VE favor the conservation and
preservation of the fish and game of
our state and recommend the enfroce-
ment of the law for their protection.
I'VE recognize the failure Of our
state government to achieve uniform
taxation, and we recognize the difficult
ties of such accomplishment but We
insist that our taxing functions adj
dress themselves to bringing about
fair and uniform taxation in Arkansas.
We heartily endorse the three pro
posed amendments to the eonstituN>n
as meriting the unqualified support
of the electorate of our state.
We favor the enactment OF legis-
lation providing for the consolidation
of offices, boards and commissions
where the duties of same are not in
consistent, and for the elimination OF
useless offices, boards and commits
sions Provided that these changes
shall include the adjustment Of the
Corporation Commission, the Eoard
of Control and Penitentiary Commits
sion, the State Highway Department,
all as now constituted.
Viewing with alarm the burden
Of increased taxation, We recommend
the repeal of all local or special acts
of the legislature for the building OF
roads and bridges, ard all other local
or special acts, where bonds have not
been issued We further recommend
that ali local bills for the creation Of
road or bridge districts provide that
the proposed Improvement he submit
ted to a Yete of the owners OF real es-
tate located within said proposed dis
triets, and that said proposed i'm
pro4ements shall not be commenced
or undertaken until a majority OF the
real estate owners within said dis
triet shall vote for said proposed i'm
proyement
We further recommend that the
emergency clause shah not be attach
ed to any bin providing for local i'm
provement
Affirming our faith in the constftu-
ton Of 1874, we recommend that no
special act shall be passed when
general law may be made applicable,
and ont then until notice of its intro
ductton has been published Tor thirty
days in the locality to be affected, and
proof Of such publication is iiled with
the secretary of the House and the
secretary of the Senate, and then the
emergency clause shall not be at
tached'
