PAPER AND STAMP BILL
Some or the Benefits Derrived From
its Passage by the Legislature.
There has he considerable criti
cism of the legislature for passing
the bill to provide the members
with forty copies of a daily news
paper at the state’s expense, and
some people have even gone so far
as to declare it a wanton waste of
money. But that the bill lias done
and is doing much good (') is fully
proven by the following from the
Little Hock correspondent of the
Pocahontas Star.
“The newspaper and stamp bill
for the relief of certain daily news
papers is in full force and (ll'ect.
Since the passage of the measure
the small “mentions” and “putts”
in some of the papers are much
more numerous. Important items
like this are in the paper every
day: “Representative So—and
So coughed four time yesterday.
He has one of the handsomest
coughs ever heard in the halls of
the historic old state house.”
“Senator This — a n d —That
sharpened his pencil yesterday,
amidst loud and thunderous ap
plause. The Senator’s uncle was
once a fruit tree agent in his home
county.”
“The handsome gentleman
from Buckeye county was back in
his seat yesterday, and when en
terviewed by the reporter stated
that he believed the legislature
should go home at the end of sixty
days, hut rather than have the
country suffer he is willing to re
main here at six dollars a day un
til four o’clock in August, 1910. i
The Senator has introduced a bill
to make it unlawful for wealthy
people to die and leave their money
to their poor relations, and is one
of the finest whistlers that the re
porter ever heard.”
GO TO WORK
No matter what the natural ad
wantages of a country it cannot
develop and prosper without the
aid of intelligent and progressive
people. It is too often the case
that people think they could do so
much better in some other locality
when all that is needed to bring
prosperity is to get a move on and
improve the opportunities that lie
at our very doors. Rainbow chasers
are seldom successful.—Monroe
County Citizen.

A DRASTIC SALOON BILL
Bill Passed by House to Make Saloon
Keepers Walk Chalk Line.
Little Rock, March 10.—One of
the most drastic saloon bills intro
duced in the legislature at this
session was passed by the house
yesterday, being house bill Xo. 18,
by A. D. DuLaney of Little River
county.
The measure gives the county
i court of each county jurisdiction
; for the trial of causes for the re
vocation of licenses for the sale of
liquors granted in the county;
provides for the summoning of
i witnesses; requires no bond for
costs of the informant, and .speci
fies that on the revocation of the
license all money paid for such
license to either the state, county,
city or town shall be forfeited. It
provided that it shall be a suffi
cient ground for the revocation of
the license of any dram shop or
saloon keeper if he or any employe
of his shall plead guilty to or be
convicted in any court of com
petent jurisdiction in the state for
violation of any of the offenses de
scribed in sections 1665, 1939,
1941, 1943, 1945, 2304, 2307, 2052,
2053, 2054, 2055, 2897 of Kirby’s
Digest, which relate to Sunday
violation, selling to minors and to
gambling, music and billiard rooms
in saloons. The keeping of a dis
orderly place, or a place where
idle, noisy and boisterious persons
are allowed to loitter, or a place
which from any other cause be
comes an annoyance to the neigh
borhood or tho public, is also made
sufficient ground for the revoca
tion of license. It is made the
duty of any clerk of any court
wherein any saloon keeper has
been convicted, or mayor, police
judge or justice of the peace be
fore whom he has been convicted,
to certify such fact to the county
judge, and the county judge shall,
when his court is next thereafter
in session, forthwith revoke the
license without hearing or investi
gation. Appeals from the judg
ment of the county court in trials
for revocation of license may be
had as now provided by law, but
no such appeal shall operate as a
supersedeas so as to stay the re
vocation of such license pending
such appeal. If the appeal is had
and the case reversed, the reversal
shall have effect of restoring the
license for the remainder of the
period for which it was originally
grated, if it shall not have already
expired.
THERE ARE OTHERS.
Most people take themselves
entirely too seriously. If you
should leave the town some one
would do your work about as well
as you do, perhaps much better.
The mill wheels would keep on
turning, hotels would not close up,
the trains would continue to run,
newspapers be issued and every
thing move along same as usual.
The world may need you but it
won’t miss you. Don’t swell up
over your importance. There are
others!
Notice To Tax Payers.
Notice is hereby given that I wil at
tend in person (or by deputy) in the
different townships throughout the
county, tor the purpose of collecting
the state, county and special taxes for
the year 1900, on the days and dates
specified below Each taxpayer is re
quested to bring his last year's tax re
ceipt. I would suggest that as many
as can make it convenient, meet me
the day I am in their township and
settle their taxes and thereby avoid
the rush that, always comes later.
And after that time, in my office in
the Court House until the 10th day of
April, 1907, taxes can be paid without
penalty ; and after the said 10th day of
April, 1907, the law requires a penalty
of 25 per cent to be imposed for non
payment. W. T. GRAY,
Collector For Independence County.
