SERVING WITHOUT PAY.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Aug. 5.—The members
and employes of the constitutional
convention are serving without pay,
arid have been since ten days ago
when the $25,000 appropriation was
exhausted. Not even the pages or |
the stenographers are getting any !
compensation for their services.
It is all a matter of patriotism—
with the remote prospect that the
next legislature will pass a deficien
cy appropriation bill to take care of
the expenses of the body.
If the constitution is adopted, and
most of the members think it will be,
it should be an easy matter to get an
appropriation through, but if it is
defeated—and some of the members
themselves persistently make predic
tions to that effect on the floor—it
may not be so easy.
And there is nothing definite about
the time that will yet be required to
finish the work of the convention. .
There are many important ques
tions not yet determined, and the pre
diction is made by many delegates
that the convention will be in session
for the whole month of August.
r*'I.e general assembly has come:
through the constitutional convention
with comparatively few scars. At
one time it had been abolished in fa
vor of a house of delegates of 36
members, but the convention thought
better of it, and put it back to 100
members for the house and 35 mem
bers for senate, to be based as nearly
as possible upon the population. The '
session of 1919, following the adop- j
tion of the new constitution, prom
ises to be a long one, since no limi- j
tation is placed upon it, as so many ;
new laws must be enacted in line with
the new constitution. But after that,
beginning with 1921, quadrennial
short sessions of thirty days shall be
held, at which only general appro
priation measures and the manage
ment of state offices and institutions
shall be held, and beginning with 192,3
quadrennial long term, or sixty day
sessions, shall be held, for the con
sideration of any matter of legisla
tion not specifically prohibited in V
article on local legislation. The
members are to be paid a salary of
$1,000 for the four years’ term.
The government needs your money;
ou need the stamps.

An Extraordinary Sale
I Of All Summer 'Shoes
MENS WOMEN’S CHILDREN’S
Our policy of quick stock renewals is what makes a sale of this
kind necessary, every season—about this time every year we find the ne
cessity in a larger way. Fall shoes are coming in and wemust make
room for them, and this means faster selling, and faster selling means
lowering of prices. That’s the course—and the only course we have ever
found open, and we’re not going to look for any other way now.
Our Aim Is To Sell The Shoes
and the selling must be fast, and to make it so we are going to sacrifice
the “best sellers.” We have no slow sellers, but we are going to shove
forward the most desirable first—an d the wise buyer will conle and come
early. •
