Arkansas had a long history of passing laws that pertained to one county and not others. Representatives for Chicot County had passed a non-resident hunting license law that required anyone who did not reside in Chicot County a fee to hunt there. Drew County Representatives submitted a bill that removed the Chicot County law on April 19, 1911, saying it was unfair to discriminate between one Arkansas citizen and another just because of where they lived. The Chicot County representative claimed that the law made all citizens pay a fee. The Drew County attempt at repeal failed. This sentiment is an example of the idea of Arkansas counties could not pass laws in their counties that only included non-residents and not their own citizens. The Arkansas Supreme Court will rule these types of county laws unconstitutional.
