FRIDAY, MAY 12, 1005.
It is announced that Gov. Dav
is will open the senatorial cam
paign at 11 ox i«* on the 4th of duly.
The unveiling of the Confeder
ate monument at Little Rock has
been postponed until Saturday.
June 3, which i- the birthday of
President Jefferson Davis.
There are many rumors of hood
ling in the recent session of the
legislature, and it is stated that
about forty members and a num
ber of supposed lobbyists have
been summoned to appear before
the Pulaski county grand jury
which meets next Tuesday.
Reports from Little Rock say
that Attorney General Rogers and
Oovernor Davis have kicked up a
row, and have been denouncing
■each other as liars. If there has
been a time during the past six
years that .all the Arkansas state
officials were on good terms we do
not recall the fact. In fact, it
seems that Arkansas is afflicted
with the worst lot of small-ealibre
politicians of any state in the en
tire Union,
WILL ENJOIN MILITIA ACT
The report comes from Little
Hock that Attorney General Rog
ers will at once begin proceedings
to enjoin the state auditor from
paying warrants under the act ap
propriating $25,000 for the main- 1
teuance of the state militia during !
fclie next two years. '
41e declares that the appropriu- j
tion is not for a necessary current ‘
expense of the state government j
and that it was not constitutional
ly passed by the required two
thirds majority of all the mem
bers elected to the general assem
bly. It was passed by the house
by a vote of 41 to 2S, whereas
General Rogers holds that it was
necessary to have received 07!
votes to be valid. It appears that
$1,000 has already been drawn on
the appropriation. The Arkansas
state guard is having a hard time
to secure state aid. 1
AN UNWISE YETO.
The Journal believes that (lov
ernor Davis did a very unwise
thing in vetoing that section of the
State University appropriation
bill which provides that no county
shall furnish more students than
its quota. Each county in the i
state is entitled to a certain num
ber of free scholarships in the I
University, according to the pop-j
nt&tion of the county. However,
when any county has failed to fur
nish its quota, Washington county
has lieen permitted to use these
scholarships, and by reason of this,
that county now has 3D! students
in the University, when it is only
entitled to about 3S. The legisla
ture appropriated $202,000 for the
maintenance of the University and
placed a section in the bill provid
ing that no county shall be per
mitted to furnish more than its
regular quota, and all students en
tering from such county were re
quired to pay tuition. There are
now a total of 70S students in the
University and 1313, or nearly
half of these are from Washington
county. The Journal thinks it is
unfair and unjust to tax the peo
ple of the state of Arkansas to
maintain a school for the special
benefit of Washington county.
