member of the next state legislature
he will favor various measures, one
of which he states as follows, and
which the Graphic heartily approves:
Il am in favor of permitting cities
and towns to issue bonds to a limit
ed extent of the taxable valuation
of their property. This plan is fol-
lowed by nearly every other state in
the union 1t enables a town to put
in immediate improvements, such as
streets, waterworks, etc, and yet does
not throw all the burden of payment
upon the present generation, which
really gets the least benefit. The
improvements are themselves, reve-
nue. producers, for every improvement
adds to the taxable valuation of prop
erty.'
A measure like the one suggested
by Mr.. Cate would afford the cities
of the state the relief SO greatly need
ed in order to make of them thorough
iy progressive and prosperous cities.
No city can keep fully abreast with
the march of prosperity unless it is

about placing a debt on posterity is
the most tiresome rot. While our

PRESIDENT WEAKENING

President Roosevelt is reported
from Washington as weakening on
tariff revision. A series of confer
ences have been held at the white
house between the president and va.
rous Republican leaders.
The net results of the conferences
indicate a weakening of the presi
dents position regarding tariff re-
vision, and that he will go no further
in his message than to suggest a
tariff commission 10 consider trade
relations between the United States
and foreign countries and recommend
changes in the tariff schedules on
scientific basis.
Antitrust and anti.railroad legis-
Iation still seem to be the main fea--
lures of the legislation suggested by
the president for the coming short
session.

demands for tariff revision. # he

A WISE DECISION ALL THE SAME.

The supreme court has decided that
the use of the mails by those who
claim to be able to effect wonderful
cures by mental powers and through
magnetic healing is not against the
laws of the government. The gull
lible and those who can learn only by
experience are thus left to the mercy
of the numerous schools of magnetic
healers, etc.-Little Rock Democrat.
That is true, but the court ruled wise
ly when it desided that a belief with
reference to any scientific matter was
not a fraud because that belief did
not coincide with the beliefs of the
authorities with reference to the same
matter. According to authordox
teaching the magnetic healing is
fraud. On the other hand, according
to the magnetic healers the alopathic,
homeopathic, eclectlC anu dll OlHt'
theories of treating diseases except
their own, are fraudulent, and were
a magnetic healer to be appointed
postmaster general he could exclude
all matter from the mails addressed
to schools and colleges which taught
theories contrary to those believed
by himself. The government could
not afford to take a step SO radical to-
ward suppressing free thought and
free speech, notwithstanding the
| "gullible and those who can learn only
| by experience"

THE FUEL QUESTION.

A matter which is growing of more
concern to Pine Bluff every year is
that the fuel supply. Year by year
the wood supply grows smaller and
the prices per cord grow higher.
A year ago the best split oak wood
could be purchased at 81 cord early
in the season and at 1925 to $3.50 in
midwinter, except for brief period
when the wood haulers made COM
bine and raised the prices to So and
1926 a cord Two years ago good
split oak wood could be bought at
$1.75 from many of the wood haulers
and but few asked 81. Last year the
wood haulers went about over the
city seeking customers for wood. Not
SO this year. The people have been
compelled to seek the wood haulers.
and it has been with considerable diff
ficulty that they could then get wood.
The wood haulers say that they have
been unable to supply the demand.
The cause of it is that there are few
er people engaged in supplying wood
to the people of the city. Many of the
farmers have exhausted their wood
supply and have gone out of the
business. This is true with nearly all
the farmers near the city. Much of
the wood brought to Pine Bluff this
winter was hauled ten and twelve
miles, and it is this long haul that
added much to the price. Good,
straight split oak wood is selling at
$275 to SO a cord, most of it at the
latter named figure. Limbs and poles
3Z.LO ID "A y
ago it was hard for the wood haulers
to find customers at $1.50 a cord for
that kind of wood. and no longer
than two years ago it could hardly
be sold at any price. The wood haul
ers say the people have run after
them to buy it this year at 1925 a
cord and next year it will sell at $3.50
cord, a higher price than, straight
split oak sold for last year, before
rough winter set in
Last winter. when the price of
wood went up to So, many persons
changed from wood to coal heaters
This year many others have put ir
coal heaters because they prefer Goa
to wood at the prices. While
wood is an expensive fuel, coal is
not cheap one by any means. not
withstanding Arkansas is fast comins
to the front as a coal producing state
However those who have discardet
their wood heaters and put in Goa
say that they are pleased with the
change as coal produces a more regu
lar heat than wood. and that a Goa
fire does NOT reQuire so much atten
ton as wood fire
1t is clearly TO be seen that the time
is rapidly approaching when the pco
pie of Pine Bluff will have to depend
upon something else besides wood fol
a fuel supply. It may be that the con
tnuous opening of new oil fields anG
the rapid development of contriv
ances to utilize oil as fuel NAV
afford a happy solution of the prob
lem when the time comes that neces
sity will compel the people to dis
card the long used wood heater.
