A legislature can frequently do as
great a service for the people in the
measures il defeats as i'm those enacted
into laws. The Bill-killer is not a
popular member, but he is a most nee
essary one and without his help, the
state would be burdened by greater
excess of laws, good. bad and inditfer-
ent, than we have. Among the numer-
Gus bills introduced in the last General
Assembly which were defeated on final
roll call, tabled, Indefinitely postponed,
or left to die on the calendar, may be
mentioned the following:
To provide for free text books for

An analysis of the acts passed by
the recent General Assembly reveals
the fact that Arkansas is not yet "out
of the woods on the question of local
legislation. Notwithstanding the in
hibition of local and special laws un-
der the so-called Rip Van Winkle
amendments, the great majority of the
acts of the legislature which have re-
ceived the governors signature are
purely local in their character and ap-
plication. 1t is expected that the court
dOckets will be flooded with test cases
during the next two years, growing
out of these laws. The Governor. the
Attorney General and the General AS
sembly have been attempting to bring
order out of the chaos, but there are
still many points and issues undeter-
mined. The Attorney General frank
ly advised the legislature that each
act would have to stand upon its own
merits and that in the final analysis, it
is judicial and not legislative ques-
tion as to whether a bill is local or
general. No act was passed by the leg
islature clarifying the mooted ques-
tiOns with reference to Amendment
No. -. Consequently, the state must
worry along as best it can for the next
two years without knowing the answer
to the question, when is local billT'
and if so "What are we going to do
about it?'
Arkansas is not the only state, how
ever, that has been afflicted with the
local legislation complex. Governor
Ferguson of Texas last week approved
1S6 acts, of which only SO were of Il
general nature. It is generally cOnced-
ed that the new Arkansas law is a
good one, hut it will require some time
to get entirely away from conditions
which have grown up during many
years of local legislation.

Little Rock Letter

Little Rock, March 23.-There is the
usual talk about the possible special
session of the legislature, but 1t is be-
lieved by those in the confidence of
the administration that it will 90 no
further than talk. The only excuse
that is being offered for an extra ses-
sion is the necessity of providing re-
lief for the road bond situation. and
it is believed that there is general
sentiment among the people that the
present situation should be left undis-
turbed for the next two years at least.
In the event an extra session should
be called, an effort will be made to
have included in the call the question
of providing for convention to write
"a new constitution. Such bill was
introduced in the Senate by Mr.. Du-
laney, but defeated. Senator Dulanev
calls attention to the fact that the con-
stitutional convention of 1913 cost S42.-
lS5. The total cost of substituting
proposed amendments to the constitu-
tion during the last seven biennial
elections has been $277,OOO. 1t is con
tended that it would be matter of
economy to call convention for the
purpose of writing a new organic law
from the ground up. Arkansas is the
only Southern state that has not re-
written its constitution since the one
that grew out of the prejudices and
the mtOward conditions following Re
construction days.
Governor Terral, however, is known
not to look with favor upon an extra
session on the ground that it would
not be in keeping with his well known
policy of economy and retrenchment.

Loaded Shells Spelled
Doom of Shot Toruer,

Until the loaded shotgun shell was
developed shot was sold to the jObbing
trade throughout the entire country
packed In bags. which in turn were
purchased by the man having a muz-
zle-loading shotgun, who was obliged
to reload his gun with powder and shot
whenever the gun was fred at game or
target, says the Detroit News. The
loaded shot shell and the breech-load-
ing shotgun sounded the death knell
Of the old type Of shot tower.
The business of the ammunition con.
Germs manufacturing shot shells grew
by leaps and bounds so that the shot
consumption of the country conferred
at the points where these shot shells
were manufactured. notably In New
England, and in the course Of events
these ammunition concerns began to
manufacture their own shot. thus COM
pletely destroying the business of the
many shot towers located throughout
the country.

Plea for Statues Of
Creations Of Authors

The citizens of Auch, the ancient
capital Of Gascony, have decided to
erect statue to D'Artagnan, hero OF
Alexandra Dumas 1.-The Three Mus
keteers" and Twenty Years After"
In reality. of course, It is much more
than 4 statue to D'Artsgnan. who
never existed for the world until Du-
mas called him Into being. II is more
than statue to Charles de Baatz Cas-
tlemOre, the original Of Dumas hero,
who was born not far from Auch. II
is really q statue to Dumas and the
human imagination.
Everything that has made D'Artag-
nan memorable and International came
from great maker Of romances-
D'Artagnan is one of the many crea-
lions Of poets and writer's that have
become more real than real men.
It is always fine thing to see rec
ignition Of such, the New York Sun
comments. There might even be more
statues to great characters Of litera-
lure and fewer statues to little char
acters Of real" life. While there Ii
no harm in remembering a man who
leaves fountain or Q park to viii
lage, the men who have left Odysseus,
Hamlet, Falstaff, Faust, Jean Vatican
and Natty BumppO are, after all, the
more deserving.
