ROBINSON SPEAKS
 FOR INCOME TAX

Washington, June 10.-Congress- man Robinson addressed the house of representatives at length yesterday in support of his resolution declaring that the governor of a state has no power to veto a resolution passed by the general assembly of the state rat flying an amendment to the federal constitution.
 Upon learning of oGvernor Dora- ghey's action, Mir. Robinson telegraph ed the governor, assuring him that in his opinion the veto power does not extend to constitutional amendments, and the governor replied that he de rived his power from a provision in the Arkansas constitution which re quires every resolution, order or vote which must have the concurrence of both house to be signed by the gover- nor or passed over his veto if he dis approves.

STREET RAILWAYS
 UNUSUAL RECORD
750,000 PASSENGERS CARRIED DURING THE REUNION WITH
 OUT AN ACCIDENT.

Little Rock, June 1O.-Figures that have just been compiled show that during the recent Confederate reunion the Little Rock Street Railway car ried total of 750,000, which, at ] cents each, would amount to $37 300. The greatest number carried on any one day was 150,000. It is remark able fact that during the entire week this great mass of people were moved without a single accident. This is al- most marvellous, when it is considered that the cars were loaded and packed like sardines, for the most part, with passengers riding the running boards and event on top of the cars. It is stated that the damage ratio of the Little Rock street railway, the year round, is 50 per cent less than that of any other street railway system in the United States.
 During the reunion 69 regular car crews and IS extra crews were in ser vice. After it was all over, the com- pany gave each motorman, conductor, inspector and office man a bonus of $7 as an evidence of appreciation for their services during the week.
 The company, previous to the reun- ion, subscribed 1000 to the entertain ment fund, an dafterward subscribed an additional $1 ,000 toward the deficit of $20,OO0.

Captain Ralstin, who is in charge of
the work being done in Hattiesburg by
the Volunteers of America, and his
assistant, Captain Buckalew, state
that they are here to do the work that
is needed and expected of them, and
they desire the cooperation of all.
Captain Ralstin announces that
some have donated furniture and
clothing and that the gifts are highly
appreciated, but that more money is
needed to properly carry on the work.
He says he has visited the small towns
surrounding Hattiesburg and solicited
subscriptions with the following sue
cess: Virgins gave him $11; Laurel,
$40; Sumrall, IS; Bassfield, Sc; Silver
Creek, $3.50; Brookhaven, $1,000;
Purvis, 81; Petal, So. Total amount
collected, $76.50. All of this money

Captain Ralstin states that since the
work was started in Hattiesburg few
weeks ago meals have been given to
80 and lodging furnished to 30, and that
they have had about 20 conversions,

The Volunteer officers declare their
intention to preach the gospel in the
dark hooks of Hattiesburg, where the
light of gospel does not so often shine,
and where Christian workers are
scarce, and they think their efforts
entitle them to assistance. They now
need 500 with which to pay rent, and
would be glad to receive four subscrip-
lions of IS each or twenty-one dol

obligation.

instances are those from families high
in social and intellectual life. The
majority of the class will continue
their studies at some college, but
there is few months of happy sum-
mer between, so the pleasures marked
out for them cannot be estimated.
Concerning the gifts for the gradu-
ates an exchange says:
I'm years gone by, it was flowers
only for the sweet girl graduate, but
now, while flowers are still given they
are often used as means to an end
of concealing the gift among the bios
SONS or tying it to the bouquet. There
are regular books now prepared, or
they may be made by friend of ar
tistic taste, to contain all the memory
notes so dear to girlish hearts, pages
for pasting in programmes and sam
pies of frocks, for there are several
special gowns that each graduate of
college seems to think necessary to
be graduated properly. There is the
frock for the baccalaureate sermon,
the senior party frock and the grad
uating gown, which ranks next in i'm
portance to the wedding gown or the
debut dress. The class colors, the col
lege yell, spaces for senior pictures,
the class day programme, for news
paper clippings; all these find a place
in the book, and there are probably
many other items that the college girl
will want to put in, so several pages
are left blank. For those making such
a book suitable quotations for the
cover are

mere are z,lol,0iO miles OF wagon
roads in the United States.
There are 176,429 miles of improved
roads in the United States faced with
gravel or something superior.
The percentage of improved high
ways is SO.
Each year 265,0000,000 tons of farm
and forest products are hauled to mai
ket or to railway stations over Ameri-
can roads.
This hauling costs 1892, 100000, or
23 cents the mile.
1t costs only 10 cents the ton the
mile to haul freight over an improv-
ed road
Therefore, if all our roads were i'm
proved it would mean saving of
2OO,OOO,OOO the year in hauling alone.
1t will cost nearly $3,0OO,0OO,OOO to
put all the mud roads in the United
States in decent shape-to make them
merely good travel roads.
This is the richest nation in the
world, yet "the poorest, most tax-bur-
dened country in Europe" can boast
better roads than we have in the Uni
ted States.
Why?
The protest of such internal i'm
provements opens up possibilities of
development that stagger the imagi-
nation.
Granted that it is necessary to build
battleships. If at least a part of the
amount of the money so expended
should be put into good roads, the
vastly greater wealth that would fol
low would place the nation in better
position, through it's increased re-
sources, to meet the demands of flu
ture wars.
Good roads help everybody; stimu
late all industry; weld the country
closer together; and, in times of ne
cessity, would expedite the movement
of trops.
A policy that at least balances ap
preparations for war with appropria
lions for peace would meet wide ap
