l. .s Eell kroEn fact that the statutes are loaded down with ob- sclste laws If these statutes were repealed, the volume Of laws would be greatly reduced. Efforts have been made from time to time in the legislature to rid the statutes of these encumbraaces, and occasion ally with success. There are always members Of the general assembly, however, Eho icok with suspicion upon any effort that may De made to repeal an old law. It has been suggested that 2 commission of law yers might vel be created by the legislature to make a thorough re- vision Of the statutes and recon. mend the repeal of laws that are of TO value 70 the state. It is feared however, that should such recommendation be made, there would be members who would op- pose the proposition as revolution ary and detrimental to the interests of Arkansas.
 For instance there is one entire chapter devoted to the subject of mills and miilers. This chapter made its appearance in Pike's Di- gest in 1898 and has been carried almost without change to every digest that has been published. since, slthoogh there gre few, if any, such mills in the state to which the law may apply. The existence of the law was brought to the attention of the attorney general when an inquiry was made whether a public miller is exemp. from road and jury duty. This antiquated statute grants such exemption and the keep CTS of grist mills cannot be com pelled to work the roads or serve on juries. Two other paragraphs in the law are as follows:
 "All grain brought to the public mill shall be ground in turn as the same shall be brought and shall be ground as well as the nature and condition of the mill will permit, but nothing in thls section shall be considered as to prevent the owner of any mill from grinding his own grain at any .iDie.
 The owner CT occupier of a public mill shall when the mill is in repair and fit for business give due attention to his customers and as- sist in loading and unloading all grain which shall be brought by them for the purpose of being ground and the material which shall be made therefrom"

HARDING MEETS HIS
CHAUFFEUR AT LODGE

Washington, April 2S--President
Harding reCounted to an audience of
odd Fellows, assembled here in Cele-
bration OF the l02nd anniversary of
Ct the order, how the meeting of a
fraternal organization once had been
the means Of promoting the spirit OF
happy concord between his chauffeur
and himself
In attending a meeting Of fratcr-
nal organization the president related
how, to his surprise, he had found
himself seated by man who had
been in his employ for seven years as
q chauffeur.
1t was the finest thing in the world
that could have happened the presi-
dent continued, for on that night we
met rs brothers for the first time and
ever after that he was a better chauf
feur and | was a better employer"
IN reminding the Odd Fellows that
there was an inclination to be over
boastlul some times in the claims Of
the world to democracy, he declared
"l speak not only for a fraternity
but for an America that practices
what she breaches"

reduction OF wages, Which govern

The union representatives have re-

as to whether they would urge the
workers to accept reduction to pre-
serve the eight-hour day. On the

Big Tax Reduction

Lincoln. May 6,-(Special.)-
Rock Island had hard-luck tale
to relate today TO the state board

the state OF Nebraska taxation on
$5,0OO,OO0 i'll property. The Rock
Island asks a reduction of that
amount in its taxable property this
year.
The valuation of the Rock Island
holdings in Nebraska, established by
the state board OF equalization last
year, was l,4ol $50. This year
the road suggests valuation of
$6.S75,2S0 on its Nebraska property,
in a report submitted to the board.
The report shows that its valua-
tion is no more than that amount.
