HOW THE LEGISLATORS
EARN THEIR PAY.
About So bills have passed the!
present legislature and have be
come laws. In all over Too bills
have been introduced, according to
me of the Little Rock papers. In 1
glancing over the new acts that ■
have been added to the laws of
Arkansas since the legislature as
sembled one is compelled to ask
uimself whether after all it would
not have been better for our state 1
nad the present bodies of lawmak
ers never met. Heading the list '
nf bills passed is the Logan anti- 1
rust bill. Of the other eighty
ive or ninety bills fully seventy
l>er cent are purely local in char
icter or else trifling in their pro
ebions. Twenfy bills are for in !
creasing the salary of the county
judges in that many counties, j
Dther Li 1 Is passed by the legisla
ture, which body it costs the peo
ple si,(MM) for each day it is in >es
sion, are several establishing flag
stations, building depots in out of
the way places, preventing goats
running wild in certain counties
and similiar measures. It is for
the performance of this kind of j
work that the people go to the ex- j
pense of holding elections and
sending senators and represent*- j
tives to Little Rock. The law
makers could not possibly com- |
pU-te their arduous task in the first
sixty days of the session, so doub
led the time. There still remain
ed a few flag stations to establish,
('barley .Jacobson wanted his sal-1
ary raised and the trusts needed a
few additional whacks. As a re
sult the legislature is still in ses- !
sion and the taxpayers out in the j
state are footing the hills for the
political burlesque. If the people
could all he in Little Rock to en
joy the show they might get their
money's worth, but since this is
not possible, it is our opinion that
the sooner the legislature adjourns
! the more popular it will be with
I the sovereign voters, f.\

Things Seen and Heard by Rev. J. I. j
Martin in His Travels Over ^
The County. j |
Editor The Journal:
Leaving home March 7, my first ,
stop was at the beautiful town of |
Newark, and owing to the rain
was detained there longer than 1
expected, but was delightfully en
tertained in the comfortable home
of my friend R. M. Galloway.
Leaving Newark 1 passed through
the famous Big Bottom country
and crossed over White river into
Oil Trough, passing through some
as rich land as there is in the state.
I was cared for that night by Win.
Tracy who is selling goods at the
head of the bottom. 1 had ex
pected to preach at Maple Springs
but the rain prevented. They
have no pastor at present. 1 went
to Salado March 9 and preached
two nights. Bro. (f. L. Fink of
your town is pastor here. I was
entertained here by my old friend
and brother James I’ureella. He
is one of our best preachers. Sal
ado is a thriving little town. They ■>
have telephone connection and al- .
so have a local system that is
splendid. As I understand it, they
buy the phones which cost about
twelve dollars each and put up
their own wires at a cost of two
nr three dollars a mile and the only
cost of keeping it up is to renew
the batteries once or twice a .year,
which costs but little. 1 am fav
orably impressed with this plan
md wish we had it in our section.
1 spent the second Sunday with
:he saints at Jaipestown and
preached for them both Saturday
ind Sunday.
I notice that the farmers are be
ginning to prepare for their crops,
md are putting up a great deal
of woven wire fencing. I came 1
:o Enterprise from Jamestown
ind I am holding a meeting hero
diis week, as had been previously'
irranged.
I hear a good deal of comment on
die “scrap” of ye editor and Bro.
J. L. Brown, and if' it goes on The
Journal will be in much more de
nand, as it is now the best paper
n the county. J. 1. Martin.
