OVER $2,000,000 APPROPRIATED
Legislature Just Ended Broke All
Records For Spending the
State’s Money.
Although Acting Governor Pin
dall lias not as yet signed all of the
appropriation hills passed by the
recent legislature, it is. apparent
that the assembly of 1907 spent
more of the state’s money than
any other legislature. From the
ligures now available about $2,
028,000, or approixmately $500,
000 more than the legislature of
1905, which up to that time was
the most expensive that the state
ever experienced. The actual cost
of conducting the legislature was
in the neighboorhood of one
hundred and forty thousand dol
lars, so that all in all the one hund
dred and twenty days just passed
set the exchequer of the state back
$2,168,000.
The various appropriations are
as follows: Insane Asylum defici
ency, $25,000; assessors’ fees, $5,
000; State Guard, $28,800; Branch
Normal at Pine Bluff, $20,400;
Confederate Home, $57,000; In
sane Asylum, $408,000; reform
school, $82,000; Deaf Mute Insti
tute, $107,000; agricultural ex
periment station, $89,000; Uni
versity of Arkansas deficiency,
$56,000; University appropriation, I
$192,000; deficiency in general ap- [
propriation,$4,S00;maintenance of j
penitentiary, $260,000; deficiency
in penitentiary, $50,000; for new
penitentiary, $60,000; general ap
propriation, $470,000; Blind
School, $108,000; normal school
$15,000; printing Supreme Court
report, $50,000; private acts, $1,
000; History Commision, $1,600,
and per diem and mileage, $140,-j
000.
The greatest increase in the ap- i
propiation this year was in the j
State Hospital for Nervous Dis-j
eases, for which more than fouri
hundred thousand dollars was
voted, nearly double the amount
of last year. The general appro
priation bill for the support of
state government is $60,000 larger
than that of 1005, and the peni
tentiary bill more than one hund- i
red thousand dollars in excess of
theamountappropriated two years j
ago.
The university appropriation, j
the state guard aprpopriation, the
branch normal appropriation and
the deaf mute appropriation are j
approximately the same. The ap- j
propriation for the Confederate!
home is double that of last sesion,
while the appropriation for t lie I
Blind School is ten thousand dol-1
lars less.
The additionaal items this year j
are the fifty thousand dollars ap- j
propriated for the printing of the
supreme court reports and the:
fifteen thousand dollars for the i
establishment of the state normal
school.
Besides spending more money j
than any other legislature in the
history of the state the assembly
just adjourned, increased the tax
rate of the state from 5 j mills to;
mill''-, or 11 mill more than it
has been for the past two years.
The increase was not made in the
general revenue tax which was!
reduced by the legislature of 11*05,
but was made in the school tax
and the tax for the payment of the
Confederate veterans.
The school tax was increased
from 2 mills to 8 mills in accord
ance with the recommendation
made by the Committee on Ways
and Means of the House of Repre
sentatives. The Confederate pen
sion tax was increased from 1 mill
to li- mills, owing to the great
number of claims that have been
filed during the pa^t three years.
The state capitol tax remains at
one-half mill and the general re
venue tax is stationary at If mills.
The one-quarter mill tax to pay
off the interest due to the school
fund for money borrowed from
that source by the state commonly
known as the “sinking fund tax,”
and amounting to forty thousand
dollars annually, is suspended for
four years.

WARRANT OUT FOR LEGISLATOR
Bench Warrants Issued For Ar
rest of Representative Du
Laney of Little River
Little Rock, May l*.—Bench
warrants have been issued for the
arrest of A%i). DuLaney, repre
senative from Little River county,
and H. A. Kizer, manager of the
Kizer Telephone Company, Texar
kana. These warrants have been
sent to the authorities of Little
River and Miller counties respec
tively. Mr. DuLaney is a resi
dent of Ashdown. It is supposed
the indictment returned against
Mr. DuLaney charges him with
having accepted a bribe of $200
for his vote on the bill to compel
long-distonce telephone companies
to make physical connections with
local telephone companies. It is
supposed the indictment returned
against H. A. Ivazer charges him
with having given DuLaney $200
for his vote on the bill. The meas
ure was introduced in the General
Assembly of 1905.
Representative DuLaney was
bound to the Pulaski County
Grand Jury on June IS, 1906, by
Justice Mesner. The charge
against him as brought out by the
state at that time was to the effect
that he had been friendly to the
bill when it was introduced, and
had received $200 from H. A.
Kizer. and later changed his opin
ion on the bill, voting against it
when it came up for final action in
the house.
The defense introduced wit
nesses to show the money was
given DuLaney in payment for
certain real estate sold by him to
Kizer. Witnesses were intro
duced to show the real estate deal
actually took place. An attempt
was made to show the prosecution
of DuLaney was the result of spite
on the part of his political oppo
nents.

HAY RE-ESTABLISH 3C RATE
Little Uock, May IS.—The re
establishment of the three-cent
passenger rate on all railroads in
Arkansas is expected within a
short time. Persistent rumors are
current in railroad circles to the
etf'ecl that the various railroads in
Arkansas affected by the new two
cent passenger rate law which was
only recently enacted by the Ar
kansas legislature, will re-install
the old rate of three-cents with the
view of contesting the constitu
tionality of the new law.
