“All women are liars,” declares
Baron Hermann von Kuhlmann of
Germany, who is now visiting in
the United States. But if that is
true, the Baron might have taken
in at least a little more territory
and included “some men.”
To see the notorious Webb Cov
ington leading the fight in the
legislature to elect Governor Rob
inson to the senate—my! but don't
that make a larrapin’ fine picture
to those staunch old prohi’s who
supported Joe T. for governor!
More food products and less
products that stock gamblers have
possession of would give farmers
a greater advantage in selling
their products this year. Raise
more to eat and to feed and you
will need less trust protected
articles.—Farm and Ranch.
The Arkansas Hydro-electric Co.
has been organized by H. L. Rem
mel, E. A. Pratt, U. S. Bratton and
other capitalists of Little Rock for
the purpose of building an electric
plant on Red river, near Heber
Springs. They will begin work on
the plant in a few' weeks and have
already made contracts to furnish
both light and power for Heber
Springs, Augusta, Bald Knob, Jud
sonia, Kensett and Beebe. Why
not take the matter up with them
and make a contract for a similar
service for Newark?
There is a pretty good sermon
in the following paragraph from
the pen of Dr. Frank Crane: “All
about you every day of your life
are the the sky above and the
earth beneath and human hearts
around, and in them are deep,
great mysteries, quite beyond un
derstanding. Realize this today.
The noblest thoughts and feelings
have ever come to us from the
Infinite. It is the Infinite, if we
let into our minds daily, that Keeps
us from growing petty, egotistic,
pessimistic, and otherwise becom
ing unpleasant bodies.
“In the five years preceding*
March, 1912, the office of public
roads of the Department of Agri
culture has built 215 object-lesson
roads; in all, about 300 miles of
road 15 feet wide; and by expert
advice aided in the formulation of
more than 650 model county road
systems, resulting in most in
stances in beneficial reforms.” The
foregoing rather boastful para
graph is taken from a report from
the department of agriculture. |
Considering the fact that the en
tire product of the American farm
er must be transported at least
some distance over the public
roads, this is indeed a very poor
showing for a government that
spend millions of dollars annually
for warships and for the mainten
ance of “diplomats” in foreign
countries, whose real services to
their country are probably worth
a peck of peanuts a year.

TO RESUBMIT THE
BOND AMENDMENT
Also Change Limit so As to Allow
Legislature Submit 3 and
People 3 Amendments
At a meeting of mayors and
other city officials from all parts
of the state, held at Little Rock
last week, it was dicided that the
legislature should be asked to re
submit to the people the bond
amendment, which the courts
have decided was not adopted last
September, although it received a
majority of over 22,000 votes. A
strong effort will be made to make
this one of three, and with the
pressure of the cities back of it,
the supporters of the measure are
confident of success.
In this connection one of the
most interesting of the proposed
amendments, because most far- j
reaching, is one that proposes to
change the limit to the number of
amendmends, by permitting the
legislature to submit three and the
people three. Some had proposed
to remove the limitation altogether
but others thought this would
bring a flood of amendments, such
as they have in Oregon, that
would confuse the voter and ac
complish no real good. The same
proposed amendment will provide
that an amendment shall be adopt
ed by a majority of those voting
thereon, rathar than by a majority
of those voting at the election.
The existing rule, which has been
upheld by the supreme court, has
made the amendment of the con
stitution the most difficult feat of
the people, and there have been
but ten amentments to stand the
test since 1874, although a majori
ty of the people sufficiently inter
ested to vote have voted in favor
of the adoption of two or three
dozen. It is contended that under
the rules laid down by the
supreme court, the people are de
prived of any right under their
initiative amendment to adopt an
amendment to the constitution,
since there is scarcely a session of
the legislature that will not sub
mit three amendments. There
are already half a dozen pending
or coming, for equal suffrage, for
issuance of municipal bonds, to
resubmit “grand-father clause,” to
reduce legal rate of interest, to
change method of submitting j
amendments, and for general di
stribution of funds derived from
special railroad taxes for school I
purposes. With this line-up, the
prospects for the people to do
anything toward the amendment
of the organic law are very re-j
mote.
