New Executive Urges Legislature To Discontinue Several Useless Off,
 fees, Consolidate Others.

Little Rock, Jan. 13.-Strict adher- ence by the Arkansas legislature to party pledges, which according to Gov ernor Thomas c. MdRae include abol- 1shment of all useless offices and con- solidation of many othersr, was urged by the governor in his inaugural ad- dress last afternoon. The systems under which the corporation commits sion. the state board of control, the highway commission and the Peniten- tiary commission operate was severe ly arraigned by the incoming govern Tor and complete abolishment of these bodies was demanded as a part of the duty of the legislators to their consti- tuents.
 The message was delivered to the members of the general assembly in joint session, and followed the final message of Governor Brough in the forenoon. The inaugural ceremonies during the joint session this afternoon, also included administration of the oaths of offices to the governor and the constitutional state officers
 The governors message also dealt with the subject of pardons, the educa- tional needs of the state, necessity for laws governing agriculture, law en- forcement and an executive budget system.
 The Arkansas corporation commits sion was given large share of Gov ernor McRae's address, and was de- clared to furnish an incentive to "ma- chine politics-to ring rule-to cor rupt political activity-to secret and improper influence in elections and appointments.
 'The theory of corporation com- mission rule in this state is vicious one," the governor asserted, Tt repre- sents the bureaucratic form of gov ernment, It is the antithesis of home rule. It is opposed to the first <ardinal principal of the Democratic party. It has no proper place in our form of government"
 To Abolish Commissions.
 Governor McRae recalled the abol- ishment of the railroad commission two years ago and the substitution for it of the corporation commission. The former, he said, spent $2O O,450.O2, from April 1, 1917 to December 31, 1918, and the corporation commission ex- pended from April 1, 1919, to Jan. 4, 1921, $63,156.61. The commission, he 1said, has asked for $120,O00 for main- tenance during the next two years.
 The governor said he doubted the need for state railroad commission since the extension of the powers ov- CT railroads of the Interstate Com merce commission, and asserted his belief that city councils, together with the courts if necessary, could handle all problems of regulation of public utilities. He insisted" that the sen- ate refuse to confirm the recent ap- pointments of the three members of the Corporation by Governor Brough, on the ground that confirmation

l6 FELONY CONVICTIONS, t
 UP TO THURSDAY NIGHT
Other Felony Cases on. Trial Friday ; Court Hoping to Finish Friday
 Afternoon. ll

The Circuit Court has devoted itself this week almost entirely to the trial of felony cases, there being hardly any misdemeanors. At the close of busi- ness Thursday afternoon, Prosecuting Attorney Geo. R. Steel, reported that there had been sixteen convictions for felonies. Thirteen of these received penitentiary sentencs outright while three others had the assessment of punishment continued until next term on account of illness of dependents or for other reasons. There are other felony cases to be disposed of duringi the day Friday. A whiskey case was on trial Friday morning. The court hoped to be able to adjourn Friday af- ternoon. Boys Hour. ...
 Judge Jas. S. Steel has established a boys hour in his courts which is held at 1:30 the second Tuesday of each court term. He has very successfully adopted the parole system for boys convicted of felonies, or other crimes. He states that he has 40 in his dis trict, who are under parole, and who make reports to him. Also other par ties make reports as to the conduct of the boys. These boys are developing into fine day school and Sunday school attendants. Most of the boys are un- der the supervision of the pastor of his church.
 On this occasion Rev. F. N. Brewer of Texarkana made a fine lecture on the boy and the daddy problem. A. D. DuLaney also made a fine address as did Judge Steel. Some times the boys get up and talk, and not infrequent- .ly these boys hour meetings come more nearly resembling an old fash toned revival meeting.
 Felony Cases.
 Following is a list of the felony cases disposed of up to Friday morn ing:
 Charlie Bell, burglary and grand lar ceny, four years in pen. Bell robbed the J. F. Mills jewerly store several months ago, and was shot when cap tured at Texarkana His wounded leg is rapidly healing.
 Richard Dudley, robbery, three years in the pen.

ROAD FIGHT IS IN PRoG-
 RESS IN THE HOUSE
Wholesale Repeal of Recent Legisla. tiOn is Asked; Investigation
 Move is Lost.

AAIIAC ICONh, JNhs 4S.-I AC oCCOll4 day of the legislature witnessed repid progress in the House, with the per diem bill passed and 30 more intro duced. The predicted flood of bills has started early.
 The "baby of the House,55 M E. Norfleet, IT,, aged 21, son of M. B Norfeet, former representative of S. Francis county, lead the list with three bills and a concurrent resolu- tion.
 MT. Norfieet started the discussion on the highway question by introduc- ing a resolution. calling attention to the fact that the taxpayers of the state have paid $108,000,OOO for good roads which 50 per cent has been expended for the construction and 40 per cent for overhead, and that "it is the con- sensus of opinion that the funds ap- propriated out of the peoples taxes have been squandered." His resolu- LlOu Pl OV1uCu IAlC opPO1AtA1CAC OA joint committee of five to take proof and examine commissioners of road districts to ascertain cost of construc- tion in the counties, the committee to employ an attorney at salary of ST. 900. The resolution was defeated.
 Proposes Road Referendum.
 A bill was introduced by Speaker Joiner and his colleague, John M. Kelso, who is 82 and the oldest mem- Der of the legislature, to provide for the suspension of the collection of all taxes in road improvement districts until January 1, 1922, or until the districts have been submitted to a vote and approved by majority of the landowners. Twenty-Five per cent of the landowners in any road district where the bonds have not been sold or any part of the work done may petition the county judge to call an election, but the act shall not apply to districts where the bonds have been sold or any part of the work done.
 Bills for the repeal of acts creating road districts began to appear early. Those introduced provide for the abolition of Districts Nos. 1 and 2 in Ashley county, The Hope, Spring Hill and Patmos district in Hampstead county, the Sebastian county road im- provement district, three road inn provement districts in Green county, Limbocker Road Improvement Dis trict No. in Sevier county, and many others The bill also provides for the collection ot a privilege tax on auto mobiles and other vehicles.
 To Raise Auto Tax. ,l!!sa
 A bill indirectly affecting highways was inroduced by MT. Smith of Ben ton, classifying automobiles for the purpose of taxation. The schedule of licenses ranges from $9 per annum for automobiles not having power erceed- ing 23 hoursepower, and in excess of that 50 cents per horsepower. The maximum license for trucks is $10 for vehicles exceeding five tons carrying capacity. One dollar for each license shall go to the general revenue of the state. The license card or receipt and the metal tag shall be issued by the secretary of state instead of the high way department. MT. BelOte said that the bill provides for the return of only a part of the license to the county, and he had not been instructed by his con- retained in the county.

thdre being twelve kinds of fruit upon
| one tree, we'll this has almost come
true in the case Of Mr.. Long. If YOU
should visit his orchard you would
first be impressed with the Plumb and
Peach growing on the same tree.
Next of interest you would see GppleX,
pears, and peaches on the same tree.
Mr.. Longs orchard will do any man
good to see it. 1t shows that we in
Pickens County have wonderful
opportunity to leave off the planting
OF 80 much cotton and turn our ener-
gies into other channels that wild
prove as benificial
TO give the reader an idea of lust
how this is accomplished and also a
detailed idea of just what is done we
submit the following;
Mr.. Long secured wild apple tree
known as the Ball Mt. and has budded
this tree the 'Bauldjpe apple. This
gives funny appearance to. See a
small Seeding apple beside a large
beautiful apple.
Another tree he secured in the
mountains: just seeding apple tree,
and on this tree he has grated and
,budded four kinds of apples, namely,
the Kansas BLACK, Baulding Red,
Sheep Nose, and the Ben Davis Light
Red.
Also he has Wild Sweet Apple
tree which grows the Howard apple.
Besides these mentioned he has the
old original Sheep Nose, and almost
every variety of apple that you can
imagine
The farmers Of Pickc1H county
should make visit to Mr.. Longs or
'chard :and get an idea .'of what can be
Still another tree, a common Horse
Apple tree, bears two varieties of the
Sheep Nose apple. This. is Il very
beautiful specimen Of this kind of
work. >
Cotton is not the only way we
have to make living. Let us chans e
things around and have a variety, SO
when one crop fails we will have an
other upon which we can depend.
