About two years ago the people of Monticello and Drew County entered into an agreement with J. Nj. Parker. President of the South ern Development Co.,, to pay over to said Company S57.5oo, upon the completion of railroad from Monticello to Pine Bluff. But be- cause work was not commenced on the road as soon as some of the subscribers thought that 1t ought to have been. they have brought suit to cancel the agreement. lust what disposition will be made of the case will depend upon the proof and the equities of the mat. ter. But this phase of the case we do not care to discuss at this time. Mir. Parker, we learn, has now actually begun work on this road. and some seven or eight miles of it has been graded and is ready for the ties and steel. How ever, this work is being done at Monroe, La, instead of between Monticello and Pine Bluff. but it is on d part of the same line. Ii is un nderstood that other places in this county are bidding for the road to come their way. Now, it is reasonable to suppose that should Monticello succeed in cancelling its agreement with this company, that 1t would not get the road. If the agreement is not cancelled, and the road is built through the county, it would have to come through Monticello, by virtue of it's contract with our people.
 They now hold the winning hand, but throw it down and they will never regret 1t but once, and that will be for the rest of their natural lives. With this new road, our town will soon be a city. without it and 1t passing east or west of us the town is absolutely ruined.

THURSDAY, JNUE C. 1907.

The Western Union Telegraph Company, a foreign corporation, with capital stock of Sl00,- 900. 900. has brought suit in the Federal Court to test the constitutionality of the Wiugo bill. passed by the last Legisla- ture. Under the provisions of this bill 1t would cost the West ern Union more than $25.o00 to operate in Arkansas. which to the Western Union and a lot of other people looks just a little less than highway robbery. This company was already do- ing business in Arkansas, under the invitation and authority of former laws. It has it's poles, its wires. its batteries and of fees here, and pays taxes upon property. just like other people, and now to be forced to pay S25,000 for the privilege of run ming it's business. is thought to be too much. and 1t proposes to contest the matter. We do not believe the Wingo act is right, in principle, even if 1t should be up- held in law. If Arkansas has the right to force all foreign cor porations to pay a certain per cent. on their capital stock, be. fore doing business in the state, most assuredly every other state in the Union would have the same right, and thus every cor poration in existence would be bankrupted and vested rights swept away. There would have been more reason in the act if it had only taxed the cor porations on their capital in- vested in the state, and not up on their whole capital stock.
