LONG AUTO TRIP
Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Beene of
Hoisington, Kan., spend Day
Here on Return from Florida
Suffering a breakdown in
their car, in which they were
making a trip from Florida to
Kansas, Mr. and Mrs. J. W.
Beene of Hoisington, Kan.,
spent the day here last Satur
day, securing repairs for their
car.
Mr. and Mrs. Beene left Hois
ington in their Maxwell carlast
June, going by way of Fort
Smith and Little Rock. After
crossing the Mississippi rver,
they visited most of the prin
cipal cities, and continuingtheir
journey to Florida they inspect
ed that state pretty thoroughly
with the view of locating if
they found a suitable place.Mr.
Beene says Florida has a splen
did climate, but that is all that
can be said for the state, so
they decided to return to Kan
sas. They carried their cook
ing utensils and bedding and
were prepared to live very com
fortably in their car.
Since leaving their home last
June, th\v had traveled more
than 5,000 miles with very few
mishaps or accidents, and were
still using one tire that was on
their car when they left home.
They left here Sunday morning,
going by way of Batesville,Les
lie and Mountain View, and ex
pected to reach home in about
a week.

ONE DAY’S FREIGHT
SHIPMENTS $5,000
1 More than five thousand dol
lars worth of freight was ship
ped out of Newark in one day
during the past week. Of this
amount, less than $1700 worth
was cotton, the remainder be
ing lumber, meat, hay, and oth
er products.
Considering the great loss
this community sustained from
the recent overflow, it must be
admitted that this is a pretty
good showing, and bears un
mistakable evidence that diver

GOVERNOR’S VETO
UPHELD BY COURT
Half Million Dollars Affected
by Decision of Supreme Court
On Governor Hay’s Veto,
The validity of Gov. Hay’s
vetoing of appropriation items
aggregating $529,052 was up
held by the Supreme Court in a
decision handed down at Little
Rock last Monday.
Suit was filed by J. H. Page,
commissioner of agriculture,
who attenmpted to mandamus
lM. F. Dickinson, State Auditor,
land compel him to issue war
rants to pay for postage. The
low'er court held that Governor
Hays had not complied with the
Constitution in vetoing the ap
popriation items and declared
the vetoes null and void.
As a basis for suit it was
shown that Governor Hays had
issued no Tormal proclamation
setting forth the items vetoed
and his reasons therefor. The
governor merely wrote “disap
proved and vetoed” across the
inany items he struck from the
appropriation bills. The Su
preme Court held that such ac
tion was sufficient and a pocla
mation in any other form is not
needed.
The University of Arkansas,
the four State Agricultural
School and the several charit
able institutions were hit hard
est by the governor’s slashing
of appropriations. Each of the
four agricultural schools lostits
entire $40,000 salary item. Ap
propriation items for about
$140,000 for the State Hospital
and for $75,000 for the Univer
sity of Arkansas were among
those vetoed.
Coincident with the decision
of the Supreme Court came a
rise in the value of State war
rants which had been selling at
about 90 cents on the dollar.
Warrants went practically to
par. State officials believe
that as a result of the court’s
decision, the state will be able
to redeem all outstanding war
rants by next June and will re
sult in putting the state again
on a cash basis.
