capitoI Question AGAIN.

The new state capitol matter is ex-
pected to occupy the center of the leg
islative stage during the coming week.
At the beginning of each week since
the legislature convened a similar
prophecy has been made, but legisla-
tors in position to know declared that
there was no doubt that both branch
es of the assembly will take up the
matter this week and that the fight
ing stage would be reached before the
week ends. The governor and legisla-
ture in general are urging speed in
the disposition of the matter on ac-
count of the need of immediate work
on the new capitol and the cry of the
people asking that the structure be
completed as soon as possible. For
these reasons it is the intention of as
many Legislators as have been heard
on the matter, to settle it as quickly
as possible.

1t always is a mistake, sometimes
fatal one, for woman too plainly to show

of the error, of course, is measured by the

men are not alike, and some few can stand
the test of utter security in the possession
of that tender thing-a woman's heart.

Reasonable Railroad Legislation.

reasonable Railroad Legislation.
When asked the other day what
was the probable outcome or the pro-
posed Railway legislation, a promi-
nent legislator said:
What possible good can come from
any unreasonable anti-railroad legisla-
ton? Only harm Not harm to the
railroads only, but even greater harm
to the people of Arkansas who are in
terested not in breaking down these
great corporations, but in sustaining
and Strengthening them in every
reasonable and proper way and thus
adding to their usefulness. The wise
politician who keeps his ear to the
ground must certainly have heard the
voice of the people on the line indi-
Gated. The wise politician is the man
who will head this voice. The people
arr tired of demogoguery and want
craftsmanship.
He is indeed blind who does not
see that the path of progress in Ar
kansas is marked by the railroad. l
believe in the regulation of railroads.
In the enactment of laws to prevent
abuses, and to guarantee to the peo-
pie fair treatment. The rates ought
to be reasonable and there should be
no unjust discrimination. On the
other hand, l am most earnestly op-
posed to legislation, the tendency of
which is to either destroy the rail
roads or seriously impair their value
to the people. All that railroad COM
pany has to sell is its transportation
of freight and passengers. Any laws
which reduce rates so that the gross
income is non-compensatory to the
railroad company, or any law that i'm
poses unjust and excessive burdens
upon the railroads in the way of ex-
pense, ought to be condemned. If a
railroad is prosperous it will have the
means to extend its line; to build
branches, to erect machine shops and
rOundhOuSeS, and all this means the
employment of many men and the ex-
penditure of large sums of money in
the state of Arkansas Reasonable
revenues means proper maintenance
of the property, good equipment and
efficient service. An unreasonable re-
duction of rates, or imposition of I'M
reasonable burdens in the way of ex-
penses, of necessity means poor track,
poor equipment, slow and ineffi-
cient service and the. development of
no new territory. The people want
the railroads, and they want them to
be prosperous, and any legislature
which does not meet this public de-
mand, will not win the public ap-
prevail"
