Keep 1t Before the People.

The strong and earnest support
given Amendment No. by a resolu-
ton unanimously passed by the
Farmers Union at its convention in
Little Rock shows the healthful
trend of public opinion on the all
important subject embraced in that
amendment. 1t has been plainly
shown by State Superintendent Of
Public instruction John H. Hinemon,
in his unselfish tour of the state in
the interest of the proposed amend
ment to our state constitution, that
its passage into fundamental law will
not, cannot, increase taxation, but
only gives those directly interested
the power to tax themselves for the
purpose of popular education. This
true status has been so plainly estab-
lished that even he who runs may
read and the result is the people of
the state, and especially those most
vitality interested, the country citi-
zenship, are fully awakened to the
importance of the matter, and will
cast their votes in favor of progress
sive popular education at the coming
election. The Farmers Union, repre-
senting the bone and sinew of the
land, and the fact that it has emphat-
ically endorsed the measure speaks
volumes in favor of the enlightened
forces of the toiling masses of the
commonwealth. The fact is, what is
called the common people have al
ways been actuated by the principles
of common sense; all they ever want
or ask, is to have a subject clearly
and plainly defined to them, in order
that they may act promptly, intelli-
gently, and wholly without prejudice.
The Farmers Union, speaking in
their behalf, has declared in favor
of Amendment No. 81 and it will
carry at the September election.
And it is only fair to state that
through the modest though strenuous
and constant labors of Supt. Hinemon
in making a plain exposition of the
matter, the prospective success of
that amendment shall be in no small
part due.
