‘ ‘Turn Arkansas loose with her
new flag and her new forward
movement in education,” is the
slogan which promises to inaug
urate an unprecedented era of
progress in this state. With the
adoption of Amendment No. 12
and with teacher-governor at the
head of affairs, Arkansas will be
in a position to reach out and se
cure her fair share of the south
bound tide of immigration.
It is becoming apparent that
the only formidable npposition
to Amendment No. 12 will come
of some of the residents of the
larger cities of the state, “tax
dodgers” and people who are so
well situated financially that they
are independent of the public
schools. However, as abpro^1'
mately 85 per cent of the school
children of Arkansas live in the
rural districts, it is safe to pre
dict that the amendment will be
adopted by a good majority if
sufficient interest can be created
to induce voters to go to the polls
next November and express their
sentiment.
It is anomalous, but true, that
Arkansas, although a “prize win
der” in various lines of commer-1
cial competition with her sister
states, occupies the humiliating
position of being almost next to
“foot” in the matter of school
facilities. With the limited reve
nue available at present for,
school purposes, the state cannot
possibly keep pace with even nor
mal demands, to say nothing of
the exigencies which will be
created when Arkansas comes
into her own in the matter of
immigration. The situation is
serious indeed, and can only be
met by providing additional reve
nue. ‘ ‘What are you going to do
about it?” Is the question be- j
ing asked those persons who are
opposing Amendment No. 12, ;
and they are “silent before their
accusers.” Like the typical ob
structionist, they are • ‘jes’ sim-1
ply agin it,” but have nothing
better to offer.
To The Honorable County
Court.
We the undersigned citizens
and householders of Woodruff
County, Arkansas, respectfully
petition your honorable Court to
open a road as follows;
Commencing at the Half Mile
Section line between Sections 25
and 23 in Township 8 North
Range 3 West, thence East along
the North Line of said Section 36
to the Township line, thence
East along the Section Line be
tween 30 and 31 and between 29
and 32 and between 28 and 33 to
intersect with the public road
running to McCrory in Township
8 North Range 2 West.

The Educational Campaign
Committee, one of the various
agencies which are working for
the success of Amendment No.
12, finds itself confronted "with
the task of correcting a wide
spread misunderstanding as to
the proposed legislation. In
many sections of the state the
idea'is prevalent that the adop
tion of this educational measure
will mean a blanket increase in
taxes, which, of course, is not a
fact. The amendment simply
grants to school districts the
right to impose a slightly higher
tax than at present, provided a
majority of the qualified voters
in the respective districts decide
that a necessity exists for raising
additional revenue. The amend
ment is a local option measure,
pure and simple.
