FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1905.
Yesterday was supposed to be;
“Groundhog Day.” Did you see
your shadow?

The Buffalo (N. Y.) Times says:
“Cotton doesn’t bring a very high
price, but Southern strawberries'
are selling at £1 a box up here." |
The legislature should give eve-!
ry encouragement possible to the I
immigration movement. Arkan

number of energetic, industrious;
people.

For the information and guid ,
mice of our readers L’he .Journal
will next week publish the now
King-Davis anti-trust law, or
those sections of it deliniug a trust
and prescribing the penalty.
It has been suggested that the
farmers in this neighborhood
should hold a meeting and come
together on some kind of an agree- i
incut about the cotton acreage for i
this year, and what they are going i
to do about holding their present; I
surplus. i he Journal believes i
that, such would be a good move, i
but how about the new anti-trust \
law? If the farmers come togeth
er and form an agreement to hold
their present surplus and plant less
cotton, are they not liable to pros
ecution for violating the anti-trust
law? We are not a lawyer, but
according to our construction of
the law, they are.
Through the kindness of Hon.
T. J. Haney, The Journal has re
ceived a copy of the famous King
Davis anti trust hiil, and any of
our readers who desire to do so
may call and get. the bill for peru
sal, provided (hey give a good and
satisfactory bond for its safe re-;
turn. ____________
The $12,000 it would cost the
state to buy newspapers for the
members of the legislature to;
send out to their friends, would
pay the cost of publishing all the
new laws passed in one paper in
every county in (lie state. This
would reach all the people, and
they could thus be kept informed
of the real proceedings of the leg- j
islature.
The Republican leaders in Ark
ansas were much surprised by the
announcement that President,
Roosevelt had appointed Lyman
■s. Roach postmaster at Texarkana.
There was a great wrangle before
the state central committee over
the matter of recommending a man
for the appointment, and the com
mittee finally straddled the (lues
1,ion by ordering a primary held
for the purpose of nominating a
nan for the appointment. Ben
Foreman and J. S. Biekley were
he coute-tants for tire position,
ind the contest had grown so heat
id that the President perhaps be
came disgusted with the affair and
Lppointed an outsider, without the
inowledgo or consent of any of
hose who had become so deeply
interested in the matter, lie did
veil.

THE GOVERNOR'S VETO.
Tile Journal heartily endorses
the action of Governor I >a\ is in
vetoing the newspaper hill passed
by the legislature. The bill al
lowed the members to purchase, at
the state's expense, thirty coph s
of a daily paper every day for dis
tribution among their constituents,
and also allowed them twenty-five
cents worth of stamps each. We
have no objection to the stamp i
clause. The members perhaps feel ;
called upon to write a good many
letters to the people concerning
matters of a publk nature, and it
is only right- that the state make aj
small allowance for their use as,
postage. But the* members should
not expect the state to furnish
them money to buy newspapers, j
Among the people at large, how
natty ever stopped to figure up the j
*ost of this little graft which the
legislature has been working on
he people for years and years;
Thirty copies of a daily paper j
2osts £1.50. and there are 1 04
members in the legislature. This
imounts to the snug little sum of
$201 a day. For a sixty-day ses
sion it wo,iid cost the taxpayers of
the state the sum of $12,060 to
buy newspapers for the members
to send out to their friends. There j
Ims not been a sixty-day session of
the legislature since the editor of
The Journal has been old enough
to keep track of that body, ninety
days being the shortest, and in
many instances the sessions have
been extended to 120 days.
For a ninety-day session the
people have to go down into their i
jeans and dig up nearly twenty I
thousand dollars or to be, exact, ,
$18,090. Should the session la-t !
120 days the amount thus expend-j
ed would reach the enormous sum
of $24,120.
The Journal does not know how
long the legislature has been work
ing this graft upon the taxpayers,
but say ten years, and that the ,
sessions have averaged ninety!
days each, which is a conservative
estimate. In that length of time
the taxpayers have been robbed of j
£180,900.
Isn't it time to call a halt in this
iniquitous practice; The Journal;
thinks it is.
