ID LICENSE SALE
 OF CIGARETTES
Arkansas Public Health Bureau Sen tences Measure Offered in General Assembly-"Pills" Not as Harm
 ful as Was Reported.

Little Rock, Jan. 20.-- Under the caption, "A bill to prohibit the sale of cigarettes to minors" bill has been introduced in the Senate that has such strong ducational features that it is sanctioned by the Arkansas Public Health Bureau and is expected to war rant the support of those who have opposed the repeal of the law prohibit ing the sale of cigarettes in Arkansas. This bill places a license of from S3 to Sl0 on the retail dealer and $25 on the wholesaler. The fund thus de-
 lived to be placed at the disposal in the Public Health Department to conduct a campaign of education in the schools to point out the evils in the use of tobacco by minors. The bill licenses the sale of cigarettes to adults only and a sale to a minor surrenders the license of the guilty dealer as we'll as imposes a stiff fine and possible jail sentence. The dealer may secure an- other license if the State Board of Health desires to give him another chance, but bond of 5000 will be required and should he a second tn
 iolate the law, this will be forfei
 to the state. This preferable to the present unenforcible anti-cigarette law. It has the support of the State Board of Health which declares that the cigarette is the least harmful man. her in which tobacco may be used. despite the popular prejudice to the contrary.

Many New Legislative Problems.

Little Rock, Jan. 20.-Taxations seems to be the predominating theme In legislation which has so far been proposed 1t is not so much an idea ot regulation as it is to create revenue with which to carry on the state gov efnment and wipe out the existing de- tieiency Practically all the special l- cense features now being considered are in the interest of good ads and no matter now the revenue is pro- dnced, the bills specify that 1t 20 to the good road funds of the county in which it is raised. There is a bill pending in the Senate to license soda fountains and place a tax on cold drinks, with che entire proceeds Co go Co the good roads fun. So far the measures all give to the county the funds raised therein tho hard fight x expected later to retain the automo- bile tax as an entirety to insure a con tnuation of federal aid. About the only business not so far effected is the motion picture industries and if corridor gossip is worthy of belief efforts will be made at both regula- ton and taxation of this industry. The State Board of Censorship bill will in ail probability be revived and if there lis q taxation feature, it will be as- |sessed only against the motion pie ture houses which display advertising films and slides.
 Among the interesting bills yet to he introduced in the assembly is one to make participation in the throwing of baseball game a crime, chasing it as conspiracy to bribe and making the punishment the same as bribery. Such bill has been prepared in line
 with the efforts of the baseball mag nets to keep the game clean Charles Jacobson, a director of the Little Rock
 Baseball Association, has prepared the
 bill which has the sanction of all in-
 terested in this sport 1t will make impossible scandal in Arkansas i baseball circles
