A CHANGE THAT IS
BADLY NEEDED
The matter of changing the
method of providing for the
maintenance of the various edu
cational institutions of the state
is being freely discussed by some
of the state officials.
It is suggested that funds for
these institutions be raised by a
direct tax on a mill basis, just as
the funds for the public schools
are raised.
The Journal believes the pro
posed change would be a good
thing, both for the State and for
the educational institutions. It
would not mean any increase in
the rate of taxation, and instead
of relying on appropriations by
each legislature, State education
al institutions would draw their
proportion of money from this
fund each year. The money ap
nroDriated bv the legislature
each session for the various
schools would revert to the fund
from which the schools would
draw their money.
Such a plan, if adopted, would
do away with so much political
jay-hawking- and brow beating
by the officials of the State Uni
versity and other state institu
tions in every session of the leg
islature.
When the legislature meets in j
January it will be asked to ap-j
propriate at least $800,000—and j
possibly a million dollars—for
the maintenance of the Univer- j
sity, the State Normal and the
four Agricultural Schools during
the coming two years. These
schools always ask for more
than they expect to get, and
those who are interested in get
ting the appropriations as large
as possible will bring all sorts of
questionable methods to bear
upon the members of the legis
lature in their efforts to get a
“liberal” appropriation.
This is entirely wrong. The
State needs these institutions; it
must have them; and should be
liberal in providing for their
maintenance;but the state should
not permit those in charge of
these institutions to play cheap
(Copyright. Ly McClurt* Syndicate.;
politics, resurt to questionable
methods, and brow-beat, intimi
date, beg, nor otherwise inject
these institutions into politics at
every session of the legislature.
It not only injures these insti
tutions but hampers the legis
lature by making it possible for
corkscrew politician's to inject
these matters into the entire
business of the session.
We should be just, liberal and
honest with our higher educa
tional institutions, and in return
we should demand honest and
efficient service for the people
from these institutions. The
first and most important step in
doing this is to take these insti
tutions out of politics.
A new law went into effect in
Kentucky last year which pro
vides for a tax on dogs. From
this fund the owners of sheep
killed by dogs are reimbursed
for their losses and the balance
of the tax is turned into the
school funds of the various coun
ties. The state reports show
that taxes were paid on 123.546
dogs in Kentucky last year, and
the taxes collected, after paying
for the sheep losses, produced a
balance for the school fund of
$43,87(1. It occurs to The Jour
nal that this is a splendid law
and one that it would be well to
adopt in Arkansas.
Wrn. J. Bryan stated the situ
ation exactly a few < lys ago
when he said: “The president
knows that if this country need
ed a million men, and needed
them in a day, the call would go
out at sunrise and the sun would
go down on a million men in arms”
The Commercial Appeal very
tritely remarks that “web-foot’’
weather does not call for “tangle
foot” refreshments.

SPF A K WELL OF
YOUR TOWN
There are few things mere dis
courar'og than to hear a person
disparaging and criticising the
town in which he lives.
Loyalty to the home town is
one of the pru-n , jisites of good
citizenship and it is true always
that the best citizen, the one who
is most valuable to the commun
ity, is not the one who is con
stantly complaining and criticis
ing. but is the one who always
has a good word to say for the 1
town, and if some things are dis
pleasing, puts forth his best ef
forts to enlist the aid of the citi
zens in correcting the faults.
The knocker is a mighty poor
asset to the community, even
though he may be a large taxpay
er. The man who boosts, day in
and day out, who forgets the dis- j
agreeable things and talks only ;
of the advantages of his home j
town, is the one who is helping
to make the town better and:
brighter and to add to its attrac
tiveness. even though his bank
account be small and his oppor- i
tunities for helping in a financial |
way be limited.
Let’s boost for Newark and
let the world know that we not
only think it is the best town in
the country but that it actually is
linst
We don't hear as much ridicule
jf the Going law from the liquor
people as formerly. Instead of
aeing a huge joke, they are be
ginning to see that it is quite a j
•eality that cannot be brushed
iside with a laugh, and the liqu-j
>r people are going to make a !
itrenous effort to have the law j
■epealed.

Philoso])her .Jim Brown, in his |
“Brown Scraps’’ in the Arkan
sas Baptist, makes the following
3ointed observation: “You may
liffer from Brown what if you
Jo? We are not the first folks
:hat ever differed. We may dif
fer and yet both be wrong.”
Former Presi lent Huerta of
Mexico, who is now a resident of.
Spain, recently stated that ho
lias "barely enough to live on.”
It is evident then that the gay

the simple life after retiring from
Mexico. ___________
It is not necessary to go all the
way to Belgium to find people
who need assistance.
