Only $10,000 Is Left.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, April 19.—Almost
as fast as it has been paid in,
has the general revenue fund
gone out this week. All but a
bout $10,000 of the payment to
be made by the collectors of the
state, in observance of the call
issued by State Auditor Oath
out for financial assistance has
been paid into the state treasury
and about $130,000 has been paid
in so far, and only $10,000 today
remains in the general revenue
fund.
The most of the money has
been drawn out by persons who
have been holding for many
months warrants drawn for the
erection of the buildings at the
agricultural schools. About
$75,000 went in this manner,
and considerable more went to
settle deficiencies at other state
institutions. Most of the out
standing warrants are in the
hands of banks and they were
the first to get in on the cash. It
is doubtful if there will be e
nough cash left in the treasury
by the end of the month to pay
the monthly salaries of state of
ficials and employes.
Government To Protect Game.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, April 19.— That
the government is soon to be
come active in the protection of
wild life in Arkansas is demon
strated by* the withholding of
a large area of land in Mississip
pi county, in what is known as
the Sunk Land district. The plats
for a considerable portion of
:his area have been filed with the
Commissioner of Lands, but on
the plats it is shown the gov
ernment is to reserve a consid
erable portion for protection of
heron. Heron preserves are
now established in several states
through the activity of wealthy
patrons, and if the government
maintains one in Mississippi
county, it will be the first foster
ed by Uncle Sam in the United
States.
No Tax On Motorcycles.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, April 18.—An
other oversight by the last leg
islature has been discovered in
i_T_* -si -fnv TYinlnv
Li-A. -
cycles, which the automobilists
term “road lice.” There was no
tax on motorcycles under the old
law, and it was the intention to
put them in the new taxation
measure, but in the haste of the
framer, it was agam overlooked.
The State again loses, as several
motorcycle owners had paid
what they considered the tax,
and automobile tags had been
sent to them, before the mistake
was discovered. Now the money
paid in must go back.
Peter Brickey Dead.
Marianna, April 18.—Peter
Brickey of this city died very
suddenly at his home this after
noon. He had been confined to
His bed with pneumonia only a

chant in Marianna for a number
of years, having conducted the
business under the firm name of

Wilson s Appearance At the
Capitol.
The delivery of his message to
congress by President Wilson in
person instead of by messenger
is not an innovation, as it is
termed by many. It is an old
custom, long in disuse. It was
observed by Washington and
Adams, but abandoned by Jef
ferson, at the beginning of his
first administration, as savor
ing too greatly of the methods
; that prevailed in the British
house of parliament, where the
sovereign’s speech or message
at the opening of that body is
always either delivered by him
or read in his presence. Jeffer
son was so intense in his ideas
| of democracy that he could not
brook anything which had the
slightest appearance of the sub
servience of the representatives
of the people to the executive or
the head of the government.
Washington’s last appearance
before the senate was not at
tended with pleasant results.
Ihe senate refused to take kind
ly to some of the suggestions
contained in his address, several
of the senators expressed their
disapproval through looks and
actions that verged closely upon
discourtesy. It is. traditional
that it was upon this occasion
that Washington declared, after
he had passed out of the senate
chamber, that “he’d be d—d if
he’d ever go there again.”
We fail to see the reasonable
ness of objection to the presi
dent’s appearance in person in
congress to deliver his messages,
if he prefers that method, but
are free to confess to a belief
that the new departure, if it
may be called such, will effect no
results, either one way or the
other. The impression with
which an executive’s message is
received is produced by the con
tents of the document itself, and
not by who delivers it, and in
the end, judgment must be pass
ed by the people, who read and.
digest it.
|
But, if there are any in the
country whose nerves have been
shocked by this so-called inno
vation they may as well rest
their spirits as best they can,
for there are probabilities that
it is but a prelude to others
that will seem, for the time be
ing, even more raidical.—Fort
Smith Times-Record.

Little Rock, April 19.—Notice
was received by the officials hav

There will be a ball game to
morrow afternoop between
Jacksonport and Newport at
Tuckerman Defeats Batesville.
Special to Independent.
Tuckerman, April 18.—Aftei
much altercation, confusion am
bad feeling, over the playing ol
several town boys as members
of the Tuckerman High Schoo
team, which ended in the play
ing of a strictly school nint
against the Batesville Higi
School lads, Tuckerman coppec
the game by a score of 11 to 7.
The affair lasted but five inn
ings, and for three innings was
fast and snappy with Tucker
man getting slightly the best ol
it, by reason of Nance's super!
work on the mound. The boy
from Cow Lake struck out 9 ol
the visitors in 5 brief rounds,
and while they got to his curves
in the last inning for quite a
bunch of safe hits, his work left
little to do for either his outfield
or infield.
The Tuckerman boys began
using their clubs on Taylor’s of
ferings from the start and while
at first a bit unsuccessful in plac
ing their bingles, they stung the
ball to every corner of the lot in
the last half of the fourth and
chased nine men around the
bases.
