A FEW THOUGHTS AS WE PASS

These gentlemen are reported to be
getting along quite smoothly in
their campaign; in fact, it is said
that they sleep in the same room
many times without bodily injury
to either or any disarrangement Of
the furniture.
Mammoth Spring has a shoe
maker named Simon Pure, You've
often heard of him; now you've got

O.
Both the candidates for governor,
Attorney General Hal Norwood and
Congressman Joe T. Robinson, are
hard against the Turner-Jacobson
revenue measure. A political prog
nostication from Little Rock is to
the effect that Governor Donaghey
has entered the race for a third term,
confidently hoping to be elected by
the friends of the Turner-Jacobson
measure while Messrs. Norwood
and Robinson split" the vote of the
opposition Beautiful scheme, that.
But, judging from expressions one
hears in this part of the state, the
friends of the Turner-Jacobson bill
are not sufficiently numerous to re-
elect the governor.
o
1t is probable that Atty. Thomas
|. Herrn of Evening Shade will enter
the race for state senator shortly.
Tom Herrn is one of those old-time,
vigorous campaisners who wakes
up the opposition. If he gets in the
race he will make the fight interest
ing to say the least Of the matter
o
The Turner-Jacobson bill is not a
law, and the voters Of the state will
vote upon the measure at the next
general election, if the decision Of
Chancellor J. E. Martineau is upheld
in the supreme court. The State
Tax Commission, creature of the
present administration, contends
that the Turner-Jacobson bill is al
ready a law without the endorse
ment of the people. The attorney
General said not, and in the first
court battle the attorney general
was sustained. The tax commits
sion has appealed to the supreme
court,
The decision by the Little Rock
chancellor seems to meet the ap-
proval of good lawyers throughout
the state, who believe he will be
sustained in the higher court. The
contention of the State Tax Com
mission Is that the Turner-Jacobson
bill passed the general assembly
before that body passed the So
called enabling act making the in
itiative and referendum amend
ment effective, and Is, therefore, d
law. This would seem to be rather
a fimsy and mean advantage for
the tax commission TO attempt to
take, squarely In the face of the un-
disputed fact that the intention of
the Legislature was that the people
should vote on the act II they de-
sired to do so, It 10 we'll known
that the state senate persistently
refused to sanction the Turner
jacobson bill unless It were made a
law subject to the approval of the
people, and the efforts of the State
Tax Commission to ride over the
wishes Of both the legislature and
people Is not calculated to create
additional respect for the commits
sion, or for the administration
head, which Is back Of the whole
thing,

Eugene Ely, an aviator who had
won considerable fame, went up in
the air once too often and was
dashed to death at Macon, Georgia,
last week. The papers and maya
zines tell us that these numerous
bird-men who are losing their lives
in aeroplane accidents are giving
I'D their existence in the interest of
science. This sounds beautiful in
theory, but the actual practice is
not so inspiring to the large number
of widows and orphans these terri
BILE accidents make A truthful
statement of the case would be,
judging from the enormous salaries
the aeroplane men get for their
flights, that the aviator who loses
his life is doing so in the interest of
his pocketbook, instead of science.

An they have to do is to organize

party can not defeat the Democratic
candidate for the presidency. The
only possible thing that can prevent

dent I'm 1912 is the Democrats them
