Arkansas, as second class mail matter
AMENDMENT NO. 15
The Journal would like to see
amendment No. 15 adopted by
the people at the September elec
tion. This is the amendment al
lowing cities and towns to issue
bonds for public improvements,
and if adopted it will give cities
and towns over 1,000 population
the right to hold an election at
which the majority of the quali
fied electors may determine wheth
er they will authorize the issuance
of bonds for any specific purpose.
Arkansas is the only state in the
union that prohibits towns from
borrowing money for public im
provements, and our cities and
towns are handicapped and can
not make the progress they should
and would make if they had great
er powers along this line.
If adopted the amendment will
not force an issuance of bonds up
on any community. On the con
trary, it will only remove obstacles
now in the constitution forbidding
citizens who desire to do so, the
right to bond themselves, and it
permits them to borrow' only one
tenth the assessed value of their
property, and this only after it has
been approved by the people at an
election held for that purpose.
Let’s vote for the amendment
and thereby remove the obstacles
in the way of those progresssive
cities and towns of Arkansas that
want to make improvements.
“Prohibition is a failure and
has never stopped the sale of
liijuor in any state that has tried
it.” That is the argument of the
anti-state-widers, and they are
making a desperate fight to de
feat prohibition. It is not neces
sary to fight a thing that is a fail
ure—a failure soon dies a natura
death—and if prohibition is the
big failure that the liquor peopk
claim it is, they would not be
spending their money so freely ir
an effort to defeat it.
However much the good citi
zens of a community may differ
in matters political or in things
religious, they certainly ought U
agree on uniting their efforts and
their means in building up and
maintaining in their midst the
best schools possible. In such co
operation there is not only strength
and economy but therein lies the
only opportunity for the citizen?
of the community to make their
local school really efficient.—Pro
gressive Farmer.
Some of these bright, blooming,
beautiful days it may occur to
some people that writing unsigned
letters to some newspapers is lost
motion. But there will probably
always be enough who will never
learn this truth to keep editors
annoyed to the full limit.
The world is dying because of
the lack of love-expression and be
cause of too great an expression of
intellect: The business man thinks
and thinks, plans and plans,
schemes and schemes more and
more, day by day and loves less,
hour by hour. He collapses from j
“overwork” over mentality (intel
lectuality). The club woman thinks
and studies and plans and has “ner
vous prostration.”,- Exchange.
The new president of the Ark
ansas Farmers Union is a strong
advocate of advanced methods of
farming. If he can thoroughly in
still this idea into just even one
fourth of the membership of the
organization he will have done
a great work for the state and for
the cause he represents.
Be hopeful and expect a just re
ward for your labor. There is little
opportunity for those who expect
little and who are afraid to invest
their time and money in any en
terprise which their better judg
ment tells them is honorable and
remunerative.
The B. Moose national conven
tion swiped a large part of the
Democratic platform, and when
his attention was called to it Teddy
only smiled. What has become of
Teddy’s love for the square deal?
A Chicago physician says that
well-informed people no longer re
