THE PUBLIC ROADS.
Citizen OF Lave Creek Township Is
MOI Satisfied With Taxation.

Z or one do not approve the pres
a mt road law, for our public roads
3tand today but small per cent
better than they were eight years
&go. Voters, have you ever
Thought how much money the
Bounty of Sharp has spent on its
foads, and how much of this vast
amount can be realized as being
to our interest? We have been
levying from one and half to
Three mills tax annually for the
purpose of bettering our roads
Shnd what have we gained? AT
Ihis rate of levy the taxes will
amount to something not less
Than $4,000 per annun1 and at
4hese figures we have paid out
100000 in the past eight years on
Hhe roads. Can we afford to pay
2put this amount Of money for
blight more years and have no
better roads? | say we cannot
Mo it in justice to ourselves.
N If we are going to have good
roads let's stop scattering our
funds to the four winds of the
Relements and center them direct
upon the roads Of Sharp county,
&and when we make a piece Of
kroad let's make it right.
Let's have our legislature do
away with this present road law
and enact a law allowing our
county to issue bonds upon which
we can draw money at a small
per cent of interest, and in this
way raise our road fund. Then
when we undertake to build n
road let's have tho machinery
and tools with which TO grade and
dress the roads with the many
rocks that lay along the roadside
and in our fields. How much
nicer it would be for US to remove
the rocks from our hillside farms
and put them on our roads. Then
we could cultivate our land prop"
erly and at night would not be
calling on our wives to bring US
the headache tablets TO relieve
our aching heads. We could
then have u road over which we
could got TO market with ourpro-
duce, and when we got TO town
our sides would not be 80 sore
and we would not smell that
awful odor about our egg cases
that 10 80 common at this season
Of the year when we drive over
our roads,
think this county could get q
good road roller and q rock
erusher and build eight or ten
miles of graded road with the
same amount Of money that has
already been spent on tho roads,
and yet we have not ono mile Of
good road in Sharp county today,
| think the road question is one
of the greatest questions before
the people OF Arkansas, and |
believe II IL time we were con-
sidering the matter well. When
we come to vote on tho road tax
under tho present law let's think
twice and vote once "no."
Now, this 10 my first time to
ever give my ideas on public
roads TO the public, and | do not
know what degree Of criticism !
shall receive, neither do ] care,
| do not endorse the present road
system, and | wish every voter
would got interested about the
matter. Let Us exchange ideas
on the subject,
John r. Howell.

believed the Democratic theory Of
human society was the best. He said
the Republican party was controlled
by the power of greed and arrogant
wealth, and was complex system of
special privilege. Referring to local
conditions, he said that Hawaii was
cursed with that mother of all monOp-
olies, the monopoly of land; because
land is the source of wealth, the pri-
mary element of all production, and
that the only radical remedy for this
evil is the abolition of the local land
laws which foster this land monopoly.
He said that the Republican party
into whose hands the people had given
the whole power of the government
had done nothing to make the public
lands of this Territory accessible to its
citizens.
He claimed that in declaring openly
and frankly for the abolition of the
present despotic land laws and the APP
plieation of the principles of the land
laws of the United States to this Ter
ritory, to the end that the public lands
NAV be held and utilized for the bea-
eft of bona fde homesteaders, the
Democratic party has shown itself to

Fourth District Democrats.
| At the Democratic meeting for the
Fourth District last night, held at Joe

candidate for Mayor, was one of the
principal speakers. He told the Peo-
pie that, being a younger child of
! large family, he had begun early IN
/ life to earn his own living. He had
worked with the people and among the
/ workers all his life and knew them and
their needs He felt, therefore, that
] he could truly represent the great body
of the people, those who work for

/ competitors. neither of whom had had
that intimate knowledge with toll and
with the workaday life that he had.
At the same time he had learned bust
! ness. and without Boosting could say
that he was a business man and could
as truly represent the business inter
ests of the community as either of his
| competitors. He promised that II
elected he would strive to serve the
whole community honestly and with
the whole of his ability.

spoke particularly of the plank in the
platform of the party which pledged
the party to work to open the sea
fisheries of the Islands to the citizens
of the country. He thought when this
was accomplished that something ought
to be done to protect by law the
fishes from indiscriminate fishing, and
this the Democratic party would do.

THINK SYSTEM
IS CUMBERSOME
The Board of Health Scheme
of Reports Severely
Criticized.

The Revision Committee of the Board
of Health held quite a long meeting
yesterday afternoon to consider the
matters referred to it at the last meet
ing of the Board. These matters are
principally what is known as General
Order No. l, which was issued by DR..
l.. E. Golfer when he became president
of the Board of Health, and was an
effort to systematic the work of the
various departments in the service of
the Board. In general, it is said this
order has worked well, but some fric-
ton has been caused by it, and it is to
get at the cause of friction and remedy
it that the meeting was held.
Considerable feeling exists among
some of the inspectors employed by the
Board in regard to the operation of
these rules. They say that the system
of reports required is cumbersome and
involves an immense amount of dupli-
cation, and takes so much of their time
as to seriously interfere with their
work. They claim that they have to
write record of everything they do in
seven different books, besides making
two copies of drawing of each block
in their respective districts, showing
every house and clubhouse. They claim
that since this cumbrous system was
put in force that the amount of work
accomplished has fallen off considerably
simply because it has been impossible
for the inspectors to do the work and
keep up their reports at the same time.
On the other hand, it is claimed that
the new system works very well, but
that s,me of the inspectors do not like
it because it keeps them under too close
discipline, and they want to get back
to the old free and easy way of doing
things.
There is a division of sentiment in
the Board. Some members think the
new system good one, and others
think it is too cumbersome.
The committee will have another
meeting to consider the subject.

is why the Republicans, who few
years ago were arrogant and powerful,

Whereas the Democratic party which
was formerly represented by mere
handful and was considered joke, was
now enjoying popularity and would
soon celebrate its triumph by invading
the public offices both here and on the
