ROY M. CRAIG, Business Manager
Let’s Quit Advocating and
Do Some Work.
For several years there has been consider
able agitation in Arkansas for good roads, but
very little constructive work.
It is a fact that in spite of all the agitation
fier better roads in Independence county, the
roads in this county are in worse condition than
trhey have been in several years, and the same
lamentable condition exists in many other coun
ties in the state.
The great obstacle to building good roads
hi Arkansas, and especially in Independence
county, is the fact that the people are unwilling
to tax themselves to build roads. There is no
lack of sentiment in favor of g >od roads—we
all favor good roads—that is, provided they
don’t cost US anything.
And right there lies the whole secret of
why we haven’t got good roads—we are ho twil
ling to pay the price.
It seems that we dont take into considera
tion the fact that good roads are worth all they
cost us, and more too.
Recently it was proposed to double the tax
on automobiles, and a great howl went up from
all over the state.
What is an automobile worth to a man if
flhe roads are impassible?
Herbert Hoover, national food administra
tor, says that one of the serious problems that
confronted him during the recent fo«d crisis
was the fact that fifty per cent of the perish
able food products of the country spoil before
they can be gotten to market.
It is a national disgrace that a large part
of the people of the world suffer for food
while we allow fifty per cent of the perishable
food products to spoil because we are too indo
lent and shiftless to provide transportation.
Besides when we have good roads over the
country one man with a truck will haul what
now requires six or eight men and twelve or
sixteen horses or mules.
And these animals and me n would be re
leased to produce the stuff to be hauled by
another man with another truck.
Put: it world wide or nation-wide and this
conservation of man power and horse power
will not only double the production of the eoun
try, but will get that production to market.
Accepting as true the fact that half what
,we pfoduce spoils now because of bad roads
and inadequate transportation facilities, we
readily see that good roads alone will cause
this country to produce three times what it now
produces and get it to market.
And nothing on this earth except good
roads will bring about this condition.
With a system of good roads in this coun
try, America alone can produce enough to feed
the whole w'crld and have some to spare. It is
criminal neglect and inexcusable, wanton
waste that causes us to continue the old system
of hauling our produce to market in old fash
ioned farm wagons through mud from six inch
es to a foot deep, when within the non-produc
tive hills around us lie buried inexhaustible
stores of rock for road making and upon ev
ery creek bed is sufficient gravel to make a
highway to every farm house in Arkansas.
We say it is criminal neglect that we al
low good roads making to be made secondary
to anything in this country. Good roads pro
mote commerce, advance education, bring civ
ilization, and through these advances of intel
lectual and commercial developments really
bring mankind closer to the creator.
Let’s start a good roads campaign in Ark
ansas that will mean something besides “hot
air and political propaganda.
Mr. Hill of Independence seems to have
created quite a furrore in the legislature with
his bill to abolish dance halls. Mr. Hill is still
quite young and it is possible that if he were
induced to clasp in loving embrace some fair
young maiden of the capital city and.go float
ing through the etheral to the entrancing
strains of music with a pair of lovely feminine
arms entwined about his person, he might de
cide to withdraw his bill. Recent comment by
the Gazette A. (). A. man discloses the fact that
he is familiar with all the latest things in the
dance line, this accomplishment probably beng
due to the fact that there is a real nice dance
hall near the Gazette building, so it seems that
the A. O. A. man now has the opportunity of
rendering a great service to the society of the
capital city by taking Mr. Hill out to the dance
near the Gazette office some evening and prov
ing to him the folly of his course.

The politicians are beginning to bob up
and let their wants be known. One of the lat
est is Tom W. Campbell of Pocahontas, who
made several unsuccessful races against Con
gressman Oldfield. It is said that Mr. Camp
bell will be a candidate for attorney general.
Mr. Campbell is the champion mud-slinger of
North Arkansas and if he gets in the race there
will be a four months deluge of mud in Arkan
sas during the next campaign.

The greatest defect of the democratic
form of government is that it cannot be made
fool proof. Rut, come to think cf it, the same
defect is what brought disaster to autocratic
government in Europe. So, regardless of all
efforts to subdue it, the fool in mankind will
come to the surface occasionally.

The plant of the Helena Daily World, one
of the oldest newspapers in the state, was des
troyed by fire one night last week. The plant
was valued at $20,000. In spite of this serious
misfortune, the paper will resume publication
in a few days.

Arkansas has just about as much use for a
board of censors for moving pictures as a cow
has for a side saddle. But the governor has
some friends to take care of and this is a good
way to do it.—Searcy News.
Germany made quite a fuss over the terms
of the armistice when presented for renewal
last Sunday. Rut she had to sign or have it
rammed down her throat with a bayonet, so
she whined and signed.

When we were about ready to decide for
universal military training we remembered that
file nation that knew the least about warfare
did the best fighting.

The three big packing companies made
only $95,000,000 in 1917. So all that talk
about profiteering is nothing but smoke.
Advertise!
The constant drop of water wears away the
hardest stone
The constant gnaw of Towser masticates the
toughest bone
The contant wooing lover carries off the blush
ing maid
And the constant advertiser is the man that
gets the trade.
Don’t ever think that printer’s ink is money to
to the bad,
To help you jail a roll of kale there’s nothing
beats an ad.
You can’t fool people alawys, they’ve been a
long time born
And most folks know that man is slow who
tooteth not his horn.
