Real Facts About
Hodges' Books
A few of the enemies of
Earle W. Hodges are still cir
culating the report that, as sec
retary of the state, he declined
have his books audited.
These people who are deter
mined to poison the minds of
the people, if possible, do not
tell the whole truth about the
matter, and either through ma
lice or ignorance, leave the peo
ple to think that Hodges want
ed to cover some crookedness.
It is due Mr. Hodges to say
that not only were his books
audited by the very same men
who audited the books in other
state departments; the work
was done under the direction
of Col. George Thornburg, a
man who is known for hisinteg
rity throughout the state of Ar
kansas, a leading Mason and
church man.
The audtors found that there
was not the dscrepancy of a
single penny in the office, and
that he had well and faithfully
accounted for all of the $200,
000 and more handled by his
office.
following the report ol the
auditors in which they stated
the books had been carefully
examined and found correct,
Col. Thornburg, under whose
supervision the work was done,
made the following statement:
“I think I am justified in say
ing that th's report is indeed
creditable to Mr. Hodges.Itcov
ers a period of more than four
and a half years,and an amount
of more than $200,000 collect
ed, all of which is accounted
for, and according to Mr. Hod
ges receipts, $21.65 overpaid.
The accounts call attention to
certain accounts receivable (un
collected) which should have
been received. Mr. Hodges sa
tisfactorily explained the mat
ter to the accountants and my
self. In regard to the system of
bookkeeping, which the ac
countants criticized, it is proper
to say that tney found the same
system in vogue in all state of
fices. The system was not
adopted by the present state
officials, and they are not re
sponsible for it.”
So the charge that Mr. Hod
ges would not have his books
audited falls flat, and while
Mr. Hodges will not lose any
votes by the circulation of such
false and erroneous statement
it is due him and the whole
public that the truth be known.
The thousands of men who
know Earle Hodges are con
vinced that he is not only hon
est and honorable in his deal
ings with his fellow man, but
that he has been faithful in the
discharge of every public trust
and the report from the andi
tors and Col. Thornburg, that
his books and accounts have
been examined and found cor
rect is no surprise to them.
When Mr. Brough, his support
ers or any other man who makes
the insinuation that anything
was ever wrong with Earle W.
Hodges’ books it is a reflection
on the integrity and honor of
Col. George Thornburg, and
everybody in Arkansas knows
the standing this good man has
in the state.
At a meeting of the Craig
head County Democratic Cen
tral Committee at Jonesboro
last Saturday, Neal Rains was
ousted from membership on the
committee because he voted for
a Socialist in the last general
election. The Craighead County
Committee is to be commended
lor its action. The men who set
themselves up in official posi
tions to aid in shaping the des
tiny of a political party, should
be true to their party, and if
they cannot do so they should
either step down and out or
should be kicked out.
If T. S. Osborne, the Sebas
tian county representative, who
i was born on a farm in Indepen
jdence county, should be elected
speaker of the next House, and
with Earle W. Hodges wrho was
born in a tan-yard in New’ark,
occupying the governor’s chair,
Independence county will be
considerably honored. The
Journal is for Independence
county, first, last and all the
time—so here’s hoping that
Hodges and Osborne are win
ners.
We do not know what cotton
will be worth next fall, but we
do know that it is almost im
possible for livestock to be very
cheap because it is not prob
able, or even possible, that a
very large surplus of stock can
I be produced in that time. Every
farmer who gets a good start of
good animals is making a good
| start towards letter and more
J profitable farming.

Reports from everywhere
Hodges speaks indicate victory
jfor him. There is not a single
place where he has been but
what he has gained votes, and
even those who oppose him ad
mit this is so.

PEAS,BEANS AND PEANUTS
Why not double the state
acreage of these wonderful
crops this year and then grow
more pigs, feed the cows better
| and feed the land better. Com
mercial fertilizer is almost be
yond the reach of the farmer
jtoday and he must depend on
!these and other legumes, such
'as the clovers and alfalfa, and
upon barnyard manure for
! maintaining the fertility of his
I ’oil. Cowpeus, soy beans, and
peanuts will permit more stock
and will enrich the land in two
I ways. Look out for seed at
once and double the crop of
peas, beans and peauts.
