NEW AMENDMENT IS
MORE CONSERVATIVE
Measure Patterned After No.
13 Has Been Drawn For
Submission in 1918
While some have been dis
posed to doubt the discriminat
ing sense of the people in mat
ters of popular legislation, the,
results of the recent state'elec
tion seem to have justified the
theory. Careful discrimination
was shown in the manner in
which the people voted on the
measure proposed.
There was one amendment'
before the people, No. 13, for
the extension of the Initiative
and Referendum, that was
badly beaten. It was essentially
popular, but it went too far,!
and the people wisely voted!
against it. It attempted too \
much, was too revolutionary,
and would have brought about
a confusion much more serious
than the evils it attempted to j
remedy. These things being
true, its supporters could not'
overcome the inevitable dis-1
trust that grew up in the minds
of the electorate.
Rut the amendment has al
ready been re-drawn and sim
plified, and approved by con
servative students of the law.
In this form it will be re-sub
mitted at the 1918 election.
Petitions will soon be put into
circulation, so that the neces
sary number of signatures may
be secured for its initiation, be
fore the Legislature has a
chance to submit three other
amendments that will supersede ■
this measure. That was the on
ly method that enabled the
educational inteersts to secure
the submission of Amendment |
No. 12, which passed by such
a handsome majority.
This is one of the conditions!
sought to be remedied by the
Initiative and Referendum
League of Arkansas in the new
amendment,—the removal of
the restrictions placed by the j
present constitution upon the j
number of Amendments to be
submitted at any one time. This
restriction has, in the past, de
feated woman suffrage, muni
cipal bonds and other things
upon which the people were
demanding a hearing.
Another important feature
in the proposed measure is
that it provides that any meas
ure submitted to the people
shall be passed by a majority
of the votes cast on the sub
ject, and that a majority of the
total vote cast at the election
shall not be required.
One of the defects in Amed
mcmt No. 13 was the fact that
it was so drawn that it could
be, and was construed by many,
as giving smaller government
al units than the state the pow
er to initiate and enact laws
that would he in direct conflict
with the general statutes for
the whole state. The unutter
able confusion that would have
resulted from such a provision
passes the comprehension of
the wildest imagination. As re
drawn, it. is specifically provid
ed that no initiated act can con
flict with a state law.

CHRISTMAS FIRES
ARE DECREASING
Public Tired of Celebrations
That Take Toll of Life
and Property
A strong effort is being
made in Arkansas this year to
cut down the fire and accident
list due to the hazards of
Christmas time. The Arkansas
Actuarial Bureau and other
fire-prevention agencies are co
operating in thismovement.The
National Fire-Protection As
sociation is sending out tens of
thousands of “Holiday Fire
Bulletins” and as a result many
homes will be saved and injury
and loss of life prevented. “Ev
ery newspaper reader knows,"
says J. S. Speech manager of
the Arkansas Actuarial Bureau,
i hat the great loss of life and
; . operty that used o be regard
ed as a regular thing on the
Fourth of July has been cut
down to a point which it was
thought, a few years ago im
pos ble to leach. It was entire
1 a matter of changed public
sentiment.
“The public is governed by
principles of common sense.
S'oner or later the sensible
thing happens—the reasonable
ntiment prevails. That’s why
Christmas fires are decreasing
year by year. It is not reason
able or sensible to mar the fes
tive holiday season by holo
caust, loss of life, burned
homes and broken families. A
few moments reflection is suf
ficient to prevent Christmas
! hazards in your home. Stop
land think Will you put cotton
and paper ornaments on your
Christmas trees this year? Me
• liic tinsel and non-inflam
nncbJe decorations are cheap.
Will you use cotton to repres
ent snow when you know that
many many fires have been
a used by it. If you can’t get
powdered mica, sometimes
called “diamond dust,” or as
bestos fiber, better pass the
. now” up. What possible ex
cuse could you make toyourself
if your children are injured or
your home burned through let
ting them light and play with
the Christmas tree candles?
And after Christmas get rid of
j the tree promptly.A dry Christ
mas tree burns like tinder!”

coming their way as soon as they invest in a supply.

FARM LOAN BANKS
WILL OPEN SOON
Information on Securing Loans
Which Will be Available
In 90 Days
You will remember that
Congress passed a rural credit
or farm loan bill. It is not en
tirely suited to the needs of the
poor farmer without a home,
and it is not as far-reaching as
I would like, but as far as it
goes is a good law, and may
later be modified to meet the
needs of the 120,000 tenants,
and enable the most thrifty
and frugal ones to become
home owners. In the meantime
let us consider the opportuni
ties and advantage of the farm
loan law in its present form,
and those who can profit by
its beneficence become its pa
trons. The federal farm loan
board will in the next sixty
days locate the 12 farm loaii
banks. Arkansas may get one,
but if not, the farmers can bor
row from the nearest bank just
as easy. The farm loan bank
will be prepared to make loans
in 90 days. They will loan mon
ey on land to the extent of one
half the value of the land and
one-fifth the value of the
buildings at not exceeding six
per cent interest per annum
on what is known as the amor-!
tization plan, which means that
ihe borrower pays a stated
amount once a year for 10, 20,
30, or 40 years, and that these
annual payments will repay
the principal and interest at
the end of that time.Loans may
be paid off any time after five
years. Farmers can borrow
money for these purposes:
1— To buy land.
2— To erect buildings.
3— To pay debts of any kind.
4— To buy implements, ma
chinery or live stock.
5— To make improvements,
drainage, etc.
6— To buy fertilizer, etc.,
for making crops.
■ The farmer can borrow mon
ey for practically all the needs
of the farm. If a man wants to
buy a farm the farm loan bank
will lend one half its value. If
the farmer can pay down a
small amount and the present
owner will take a second mort
gage on the balance’ the farm
er can pay over to the owner
the amount borrowed and be
come a farm owner. If he bor
rows on 40 years time he can
pay off his loan and interest
at the rate of $66.46 a year on
each $1000.00.
Under tnese circumstances
the second mortgage will bej
about as good as a first mort
gage heretofore,and farm own
ers should not hesitate to sell
and take a second mortgage.To
borrow money from the farm
loan bank the farmers will
form local associations. It takes
ten or more to organize, and
the amount of their loans al
together must be not less than
$20,000.00. Members may be
from one or several localities.
They must elect officers and
three appraisers and then make
application to the farm loan
bank or board for their loans.
Each borrower must take five
per cent of his loan in stock,
which will earn dividends, and
may be taken up and paid for
when the loan is paid. The fol
lowing is the six per cent rate
at which a $1000 loan is paid
off:
10-year loan $135.87 a year
15-year loan 102.96 a year
20-year loan 87.18 a year
25-year loan 78.23 a year
30-year loan 72.65 a year
35-year loan 72.65 a year
40-year loan 66.46 a year
Associations should be form
and applications for loans made
at once. Farms upon which
loans are wanted will be ap
praised by the local board, and
later by an appraiser from the
farm loan bank. For further
information write to the U. S.
Farm Loan Board, Washing
ton, U. C. I will gladly help as
far as I can.

OH MY BACK!
The Expression of Many a Kid
ney Sufferer
A stubborn backache iscause
to suspect kidney trouble.When
the kidneys are inflamed and
swollen, stooping brings a
sharp twinge in the small of
the back that almost takes the
breath away. Doan’s Kidney
Pills revive sluggish kidneys—
relieve aching backs. Here’s
convincing proof of merit.
Mrs. G. W. Crymes, Bates
ville, Ark., says: “I was troub
led by weak kidneys and I suf
fered a lot from a steady, dull
ache in my back. My ankles
and feet were badly swollen
and 1 had rheumatic pains in
my left arm. My kidneys acted
irregularly, too. I used about a
box of Doan’s Kidney Pills and
| since then 1 have been free
, from kidney trouble.”
Price 50c at all dealers.Don’t
simply ask for a kidney rem
edy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills

had. Foster-Milburn Co..Props.,
