Now that the federal election
laws have been expuuged, the ques-
ton of consolidating the state and
federal elections in Arkansas is
again being agitated, The great
objection to this consolidation in
the past was the fear of some sort
of force bill legislation by con-
gress. Now that no such danger
exists, Arkansas might well consoli-
date her elections on the score OF
economy, if for no other reason
Should federal election laws be re-
enacted, we could re-enact our pres
ent system of diyided elections and
lose nothing by the change. This is
our view of the matter.

you have a rumbling sound or i'm

and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to
