BRAIN LI£AKS.
(From Bryan’s Commoner:)
The man who looks for the easi
est way out, often finds himself
further in.
When you want anything done
quickly, do not go to a man who
is seldom busy.
The man who talks about civic
righteousness ought to keep hi
own backyard clean.
Funny, isn’t it, that your boy
can never find fishing worms where
you want to make the onion bed;
Nature does not have to exert
herself very much to show man
how very weak and inconsequen
tial he is.

TOTAL VOTE CAST IS NOT KNOWN
No Records Available Showing To
tal Number of Electors who
Participate in Elections
Although the State Supreme
< 'ourthas held that an amendment
to the constitution to have passed,
must have received the votes of a
majority of the electors voting at
the election at which it was sul>
mitted, an investigation has shown
that there is no possible way of
determining the total number of
electors that have participated in
any election in the past.
The Supreme Court, in holding
the third amendment to the con
stitution void, took the combined
votes for the several candidates
for governor as the basis^ for its
decision, but this could not be re
garded as representing the total
number of electors participating
in the elections, or even the high
est number of votes cast for the
candidates for any office.
The Arkansas (ia/.ette says
there is no record in the secretary
of state’s office to show the total
number of voters taking part in
any election. The abstracts of
the vote in every county are on
| tile there, but these abstracts sfhow
only the vote for the various can
didates and do not show the total
; number of voters who cast their
ballots. A record is kept at each
polling place of the number of
persons voting, and this record is
sent to the county central com
mittee. This record could be in
corporated in the abstract sent to
the secretary of state, but this is
not done and there is no law re
quiring that it be done.
In considering the third atnend
: raent, however, it is not necessary
for the supreme court to deter
mine accurately the total number
of votes cast in the election or the
; highest vote cast for any office.*
Assuming the vote for governor
to be the highest, the court found
that the amendment did not re
ceive a majority of that vote, and
consequently was not adopted.
The fact that the candidates for
some other office received more
votes than the candidates for gov
ernor would make no dilference in
j that case.
