WHAT IS YOUR VALUE?
The great railroad systems of
the country are organized primari
ly to make money for their stock
holders but they do a vast amount
of good for the country in various
ways, not the least of which is the
manner in which, in recent years,
many of them have sought to de
velop in their employees a higher
sense of their responsibilities and
capabilities. Following is an ex
tract from a letter the Rock Island
System recently sent to each of its
employees, and it contains much
that is good for others besides rail
road men.
“Say you earn one thousand
dollars. At four per cent, that is
the interest on twenty-five thou
sand dollars. The company thus
capitalizes you at the cost of a
modern locomotive. You may not
have as much pull, but you ought
to have as much push. You can
last longer and run a good deal
farther than the best locomotive
ever built. Most of you can make
yourselves constantly worth more,
whereas the locomotive steadily
deterioates. Make your valuation
climb to fifty thousand. Select
your food with care. Treat decent
ly the body on which your mind
depends. Read, study and observe.
Like the engine, you cannot do
your work unless you stay on the
rails and keep where the boss can
lind you. No call-boy ever found a
locomotive in a saloon, dive, or
other place of that sort."
In a campaign paper issued by
the “wets” before the election, a
comparison of Maine and Massachu
setts was made which showed that
the per acre production of the
farms in “dry”Maine is only about
one-half what it is in “wet” Mass
achusetts. As the recent election
shows a decided increase in the
“wet” sentiment in Arkansas, we
suppose the farmers will all begin
enlarging their barns.
Arkansas has a little more than
eighty-one million dollars worth
of railroad property, according to
the assessments made by the State
Tax Commission. That is a pret
ty good showing, but the state
should have at least two or three
times as much more railroad pro
perty as it now has. Railroads
are great developers and we need
more of them.
For the first time in a number
of years Independence county has
elected a Republican county
judge. However, The Journal does
not believe the county is going to
the bow-wows because of this. Mr.
Scott is a good business man, a
man of good judgment and above
all he is a clean, honest man and
a good citizen. No charges what
| ever can be brought against him
as an official, nor as a man and a
citizen, and we believe he will en
deavor to make the people of the
county a faithful and efficient ser
vant. _____________
The total assessed value of rail
road property in Arkansas is $80,
781,055, which is an increase of
three and a quarter million dollars
over last year. The Iron Mountain
is assessed at more than any other
system in the state. Its total assess
ment, including main line and
branches is $34,071,937, an increase
of $1,026,848 over last year.
Fulton county is making quite a
reputation for crime. No less
than half a dozen murders have
been committed in that county in
the last few months.
Now, let’s “Win With Wilson”
and then take a rest from politics
till the legislature meets.
The “Grandfather Clause” got
its whiskers trimmed.

It's Quality
That Counts
You don’t buy a wagon often,
and when you buy you want
one that will give you full val
ue for the money you invest.
The Birdsell Wagons
are the best made. They are
made for hard service and are
worth the money. Come and
look them over and get prices.
