FRIDAY, FEBRUARY Hi, l'.Mlrt
Dardenelle is giving municipal
ownership of public utilities a
l>ractical test by operating its own
waterworks plant.
Every farmer is a cog, so to
speak, in the great business wheel,
the same as the manufacturer,
merchant and professional man.
All are interdependent for the de
livery of all necessities of life.
None can afford to disregard the
rights of those who serve them or
<«f those whom they serve.

The Brinkley Citizen says: “In
casting about for men to till the
*tate and districtolliees, the people
should be careful to select those
who are free from the suspicion of
-wrong doing.' But what about
the gentleman at whose feet the
Citizen worships; Is he absolute
4,V free from suspicion of wrong
doing;
The trial of Senator Butt, who
was indicted by the Pulaski grand
jury on a charge of bribery, is now
in progress at Perryville, where

' venue._
i ARKANSAS AS A SIIVLOCK
The fact that the Arkansas state
treasury is overflowing with mon
ey is no credit to the state, nor to
those politicians who are boasting
of this hoarded wealth. Kvery
dollar of this money has been
wrung from the hard-working
wealth producers, in some form, as
taxes.
()f what benefit is it to any one
(except to some boastful politicians)
for the state to place an exhorbi
tant tax rate upon her people for
the purpose of piling up money
in the state treasury? True
enough, the state should always
have a small surplus on hand for
pocket change and for use in case
of emergencies. But according to
statements being made by the gov
ernor in his speeches over the
state, there is now something like
two hundred and fifty million dol
in the state treasury. Of course
the official statements of the state
treasurer do not exactly tally with
this hut t’ell with the state trea
surer. the governor says we’ve
got it, and of course he knows
what he’s talking about.
But what is the state going to do
with all this money? Is she going
to continue to tax the people at the
same rate, withdraw from circu
lation the money so collected and
hoard in tlx* state treasury?
