LITTLE ROCK LETTER

Little Rock, Jan. 24.-The close of the second week of the 43rd Gen eral Assembly indicates that the membership of the House and Sen ate is rapidly swinging to the views held by Governor McRae as to the management of state affairs. The first real test came in the House on the bill by Mr. Gates of Lonoke to abolish the Penitentiary Commis- sion and to substitute therefor an honorary commission of five mem bers to be appointed by the gov ernor It had been expected that there would be fight on the prop osition, but the sentiment seemed to be only one way. There was only one speech and one vote against it by Colonel J. E. Wood of Marianna. one of the oldest mem bers of the body. The vote was 92 to 1. The bill was an admins tration measure and those who fla vored it's passage asserted that they were willing that the governeT should assume responsibility for the future management of the institu- tion, believing that he would be able to relieve it from its present finan- cial difficulties. It is probable that
The courier-index., 1921-01-28

that few of those who voted for the bill were returned to the next ses- sion. After the results of the 1920 primary were announced, it was noticed that very few members of the 1919 session had been returned to the House. Probaly the state dog license was in the minds of many voters when they went to the polls and this fact impressed itself upon the nominees, for when the dog license bill was up in the House last week. there was almost a stam- pede on the part of the members to get their counties excluded from it's provisions.
The courier-index., 1921-01-28

the bill will easily pass the Senate and by the end of this week will have become a law, In which even1, immediate action will be taken tp take over the management of the institution and relieve the present commissioners from their connec- tion. It has even been rumored that wholesale resignations may be expected. Drastic measures have pected involving the question of penitentiary management and fi- nance. According to the report of the state comptroller, the net cur rent indebtedness of the peniten- tia1y February l, 1921, Ndll be about S30e,000 and $150,000 will be re- quired for operation until July l, 1921. The comptroller says:
 ''The why of this indebtedness need not be discussed by me here. It is a condition which prevails and must be met and disposed of"
 To meet this emergency the comp troller suggested and bills have been introduced in line with his sugges- tions, that $150,000 be borrowed from the permanent school fund and that the State Debt Board is- sue a certificate of 5 per cent in terest payable September l, 1921. He also suggests that the State Debt Board be authorized to issue per cent notes for $30O,000 and sell the same at not Jess than par, the
The courier-index., 1921-01-28

proceeds to be placed to the credit | of the penitentiary fund. These recommendation of the comptroller are for the purpose of meeting the emergency in it's finances The methods whereby similar conditions may be prevented in the future are for the legislative branch of the government to work out. IAe House has already passed an emergency appropriation bill of S100,000 to take care of the immediate needs of the institution.
 Another real test of the govern OTIS strength in the General As sembly will come on the bill for ] the abolition of the Arkansas Cor poration Commission. There is req son to believe that the fight on this measure will develop considerable acrimony. Administration bills now pending provide for the appoint ment of an honorary board for the control of penitentiary affairs and for the absolute abolition of the Corporation Commission and the re- turn of it's jurisdiction over utilities
 
 ities in control before the creation of this office The fact that many organizations and agencies through out the state, by resolution and oth- erwise, are endorsing the stand taken by Governor McRae, and de- manding of their representatives a thorough support of his policies pre- sents strong argument in favor of legislative action along lines laid down in the governors inau- gural message.
 The Legislature and more par ticularly the House, has shown a growing disposition to support the governors policies of strict econ omy in the management of state af- fairs. In line with this tendency many of the members have been voting even against the emergency and deficiency appropriations for some of the minor offices. One man made the statement that it would be much easier for him to explain to his people a vote against an appropriation bill than it would be vote for it. Therefore, he con- sidered 1t the part of wisdom to be on the safe side. At least one man has from the beginning consistent fly voted against every appropriation bill offered including even that for mileage and per diem out of which The has been drawing his own sal any of $500 per day.
 There has yet been no test to indicate the strength of the admin isttation in the Senate. Several-of the administration measures to abol- ish state departments have been in troduced there and been referred to committees, but so far none of the committees have met to consider them The first Emory bill to abolish the Arkansas Corporation was considered briefly, but the au- thors were not satisfied with it and it was withdrawn to be substituted by bill transferring all the work of the commission to an honorary board composed of Secretary of State, Auditor and State Treasurer. Hearing on this bill will begin in the Public Service Corporation Com mittee Thursday night and by the end of the week it should be ready for roll call The Senate appears to be more of an administration body than in previous years. How ever it is doubtful if the Emory

bill will follow administration and anti-administratio lines. There are members of the Senate who will op- pose this bill who are ordinarily very strong for Governor McRae and his policies; on the other hand there will be votes cast for the biE by members who would resent being classed as administrationists.
 There is also pending in the Sen ate a bill to abolish the State Tax Commission and create the State Revenue Department taking the work of three men, as well as that per formed by the Inheritance Tax At torney, and put in one man. The fight on this measure will be less strenuous than on the Corporation Commission bill. The only objec- lion so far voiced has been that it is too great standardization of power.
 An amusing incident occurred in the Senate during debate on gov ernmental economy recently and for time one of the chief swingers of the battle-aXe brigade found him. self in a rather embarrassing posi- tion. The question was whether or not the poor, over-worked Janltors would receive an addition Sl per day for their services. The Senate janitors were at that time receiving S4 per day, the same wages as paid to the diminutive pages; when mat ters of this sort are presented they automatically bring into action sew eral watchdogs of the treasury. One economist was cleared for action sew was oratorically saving millions of mythical dollars for the state when another senator asked if he would yield to a question. The reply was in the affirmative and the inter rupting senator asked if the speaker would agree to support a resolution cutting the wage of the pages in half if the pending resolution was withdrawn with a promise that it would not be revived. The smile created by the proposition started from the clerical desk where vouch- CTS are issued to members of the Senate and the employees; 1t quick ly spread and as the situation dawn ed upon the Senate, it gave way to hearty laugh The Senator cut short his speech and took a seat while knowing ones confided to the uninitiated that the senator in ques- tion has a relative who is a page.
 You may say to the baseball fans of Arkansas" says Kid Fiber field, manager of the Little Rock Travellers, that we will have a team much stronger this year than won the penant in 1920 The league is going to be much faster this year than it ever was before. l figure that it is necessary for us to in crease our strength fully 50 per cent and deals are pending which, if they all go through, will give us a team 100 per cent stronger. We will have a winning team; that much is certain"
 History repeats and the bill in- troduced in the Senate by Senator Johnson of Carroll is the vehicle by which it is doing a 1921 come back. This bill repeals the 1919 act placing a license upon all dogs in the state. Many years ago sim liar measure was enacted by the Arkansas legislature. So incensed were the canine owners of the state
