 MUNICIPAL LIGHTS
City Council Appoints Appraisers to Make Assessment of Benefits on Property-R Routine of
 Business.

John Thompson, chairman ot tn electric light commission of Improve ment District No. 1. appeared before the council Wednesday night with an estimate, signed by himself and Eu- gene Cox, giving the probable cost of purchasing or installing a munich pal lighting system to supply the districts at $80,000. This amount, it was explained, was $40, ,000 for the actual cost of the plant, and $40,000 to pay the interest on the bonds is- sued for period of 20 years at 5 per cent per annum.
 The council, following the course laid down by the statutes, passed an ordinance to levy a tax of 5 mills on real and personal property in the city of Mena to carry out the work, and selected E. J. Moseley of the First ward. w. M. Pipkin of the Sec ond and Ed T. Wolfe of the Third as the board to make the assessment of benefits on the property in the dis trict.
 E. J. Moseley, chairman of the waterworks commission, rendered resignation, to take effect at once. He was asked to withhold his resig- nation one month, which he consent ed to do. The board, through MT. Moseley, filed the report of the re- ceipts and expenditures for the past year with City Clerk Jones, where it will remain one month, subject to inspection by any interested citizen.

BRYAN AND THE
 10TH AMENDMENT
Making Round of Arkansas in Defense of the Initiative and Referendum---Asks That
 Flaws, if Any, Be Remedied.

send us back to that form of govern ment that prevails among the barbar- ous tribes because their want of intel ligence does not admit of any other. k
 We shall have overturned all our guarantees of liberty, pulling down the temples of liberty about our own ears. It seems strange that while backward countries like Turkey, Russia, Japan and China are adopting constitutional governments. we should have to discuss now proposal in this state to bid constitutional government with all it's guaranties a last adieu.
 Now, my friends it occurred to me when 1 was reading this that if this is the condition, if this terrible thing is going to come as a result of the adop- tion of this amendment, that if this is to follow that construction that he places upon it. that possibly the court might not put that construction on it; that if they found it was going to take you at one step back to barbarism, that it was going to be as bad as the French Revolution, that possibly the court might see if they could find an other construction that would protect you from these terrible results. The natural, the simple construction which in my mind judge, justice, court would place upon it, is that those words, however awkward they may be in their expression, simply mean that as the people of the state can act up on and initiate legislation within theiI own territory, and reject measures that affect them alone.
 But will go further than that, i thought that your court could come to no other conclusion except that this man pointed out, would still be in favor of amendment No. 10, Gap plause) Why? Because my friends you could amend that as quickly q; the law would allow a petition to bt presented. It is in the power of the people to amend it. and it is an insult to the intelligence of the people of Ar kansas to say that they would sit idl, by and allow those disasters as pic tured by your eminent lawyer to g on in this state when they have it il their power to pass laws by initiativ' and referendum to stop those yer, things.

STUBBS SPEAKS OUT
KANSAS EXECUTIVE USES SOME PLAIN LANGUAGE AT MEET.
 ING OF GOVERNORS.
RESENTED ATTACK ON PlNCHOT
Every interest That Seeks to Secure Control of Natural Resources for Private GaIn Is Against the For
 mer Chief Forester, He Said.

St. Paul, Sept, 7.--Gov Stubbs who was presiding at the governors ses- sion of the conservation congress cleo trified the meeting by vigorous five minutes speech in which his thoughts were expressed in plain language.
 Governor Hay of Washington at tackled the officers of the congress charging them with having tried to prevent proper presentation of the Mountain and Pacific states sneered at the conservation association O. which Pinchot is president and sais that the bureau conservationists and their supporters could not have served the special interests better If they had been in their pay. It was then 'bai Stubbs manifested restlessness whor Governor Brooks of Wyoming fol lowed with similar though less ex treme speech Stubbs got ready for ac ton. Before Brooks was seated Stubbs was standing.
 Did Not Come to Talk.
 T came here to preside, not tc talk" he said, but am going to talk 1 will not stand for the abuse of tho men who are responsible for the con servation movement. The greatest man in the country today is Theodore Roosevelt, and the greatest thins Roosevelt ever started was this con servation business. And the next great est man on this score is Clifford Pin chot. The country ought to put Ill monuments to both of them. It wa. Pinchot who prevented the validatioI of the Cunningham claims, which i they had been validated as Ballingel proposed would have robbed tho country of It's Alaska coal. If 1 were rresident would kick Ballinger out o my cabinet in five minutes.
 No Government Monopoly.
 Tt is all sheer foolishness to tall about the federal government encour aging monopoly. I notice one thing every land thief, every water powe grabber, every man or corporation O trust seeking to use the natural re sources of the public lands for privat, profit, Is in favor of state conserva ton. That's because these interest believe they can handla state legisla lures better than they can handle tn federal government.
 President Taft's speech this morn ing was In fine support of the fedora idea. The thing that's the matter witl these Western interests Is that the. do not want the kind of regulation that Roosevelt and Pinchot have es tablished and that President Taft pro poses. They want free hand to gral and use the natural wealth for thei own uses. They do not like this con servation association, because 1t keep tab on them and Is educating thu people"
