 and Auto Taxes.

Little Rock, March 2.-The house has passed a bill originating in the zenate, which makes an appropriation af $175,0O0 to the University of Ark aRsas for home economies extension work in the state An effort was made by Mir. Dowell of Boone to reduce the amount to $75,000. He said that the government approprI- ates an equal amount and that the state requires the counties to make an equal appropriation which would provide total of $4,000 for each county or $300,000 for the state and he considered this sufficient. Mr. Hoover, chairman of the budget com mittee, said they had already cut $46,000 of the amount asked and fl any further reduction were made fed eral aid would se withdrawn. Other members pleaded for the passage of the bill on behalf of the farmers, de- c}aring that they had asked and had been granted very little by the legis- lature and that all of them want this bill passed. There were only four votes against it.
 Progress is being made in the move nent for a compromise bill for the registration and licensing of motor vehicles. The conference committee authorized by concurrent resolution is to consist of President Cazort, Speak CT Joiner and three members to be appointed by the speaker and two by the president. The house members are appointed by the speaker and two by the president. The house mem- hers are A. l.. Smith of Benton, B. l.. Herring of Bradley and E. W. Chan ey of Woodruff. The senate members are B. E. McFerrin of Bone and Charles Walls of Lonoke. It is un- derstood that this committee will draft a bill which will provide for the greater part of the revenue de- rived from automobile taxation to be retained by the counties where it is paid.
 The legislature is no nearer a solu- tion of the problem of deciding what IS to be submitted as a proposed constitutional amendment. An effort was made yesterday in the house to adopt all of the pending resolutions and send them to the senate with the request that they be adopted and passed on to the governor that he !. might approve the one he deemed most important. The senate has passed four resolutions and sent them to the house, one of these by Senator Collins for 12 mills maximum road tax was tabled by the house yes terday when it was called up.
 Two bills brought forth debate in the senate Thursday afternoon and in each of them Senator Haley of Craw- ford was vanquished hero. The first was on the Wilson of Union bill to conserve oil and gas production. Senator Haley led the opposition to this bill, declaring that it would cur tail development. Senator Wilson of Union, who comes from the other gas producing section, stated that his bill was in the interests of the people and not for the gas companies. The dill was passed IA to IS.
 Just before adjournment, Senator Haley called up the Smith and Ken drick bill to require the Missouri Pa eific to extend it's accommodation train from Little Rock to Ozark in- stead of Spadra. President Cazort took the floor against this bill, saying that the extension to Ozark would mean the annullment of the train as we'll as similar train service between Russellville and Fort Smith. Other senators whose districts are served by this train also opposed the meas are and it received only a few votes.
