FAVORS COVERING
DEFICIT BY LOAN
ROBINSON OUTLINES PLAN
DEMOCRATIC NOMIN FOR
GOVERNOR OPENS CAM
PAIGN AT VAN buren,.

Van Buren, August 22.-CongreSs-
man Joe T. Robinson opened his cam
paign here last night before large
audience, and devoted considerable at
tention to a discussion of the revenue
system and other phases of state
finances. He said that at the begin
ming of his administration the state
would be confronted with a deficit of
about half a million dollars, for
which he is not responsible, but which
he must meet.
"The plan which ! propose is SIM
pie and fa:.r," said he. First. let us
borrow money, if necessary at as low
rate of interest as possible, and pay
eff this deficit in the general reve-
nues, providing for the gradual pay
n1ent of the loan through a sinking
fund. This would enable my admins
tration to start even A double safe
guard can be adopted to prevent de-
ficits from arising thereafter. We
should limit appropriations to the
probable revenues, and at the same
time provide for the levying Of such
a rate for the general revenue fund
as will meet the appropriations actu-
ally made. This is done in many
states, and done admirably.
.'There is nothing more popular
than appropriating public money.
Nothing is more unpopular than rails
ing taxes. Yet all men of sense know
that when any appropriation is made,
revenues to meet it must be collected.
The greater the appropriations, the
higher the taxes. must be. A legis-
lator, under our present system, can
popularize himself by advocating and
voting appropriations greatly in eX-
cess of the revenues. When, howev-
er, it is made clear to the public that
the sole power to raise revenue, as
well as the sole power to authorize its
expenditure, is vested in the legisla-
ture, it at once becomes clear that ap-

in the limit of funds available to pay
them, and the rate SO adjusted that
no deficit will occur.
"Three reasons exist which, in my
Judgment, justify absorbing the pres
ent deficit in the general revenue ~ a
loan. First, it will enable the incom-
ing administration to start even, and
the more easily to keep its. expenses
within the actual revenues. Second,
it will probably be cheaper to the
state in the end Third, i not done,
the states fnaneiSl> eoncition will
probably grow worse, and q sudden
and heavy increase in taxes will be-
come imperative. l have no private
opinion concerning the best method
Of solving this problem. Still, | am
anxious that the public realize pres
ent conditions and the necessity for
prompt action"

PETITIONS GIVEN
COMMISSIONERS

ENTIRE VOTING POPULATION
OF SOME TOWNSHIPS
SIGN THE REQUESTS.

Petitions containing the signatures
of an aggregate over 1000 Faulkner
voters asking for the appointment of
election judges friendly to the cause
prohibition have been filed with
Chairman w. H. Duncan of the coun-
ty board of election commissioners.
Separate petitions are filed from each
township and voting precinct, every
one in the county being represented.
In some of the townships the petit
TONERS made practically a clean
Imost every voter. In all of them
more names were secured than the
number of votes usually cast in the.
township at general election. Har-
din township, which rarely casts more
than 100 votes, came up with 1863 sig-
natures, and several other townships
made records equally as good.
Prof. j. NJ. c. Vaughter, who has
Ibeen directing the work of circulating
the petitions and who filed them with
the commissioners, is confident that
election judges acceptable to the state
wide cause will be appointed.
II am sure he said today, chat
there will be no friction and the cleo
ton of officers acceptable to the pro-
hibtionsts will be named by the COM,
missioners. Probably not every man
asked for will be appointed and there
may be good reasons for not appoint
ing some of them, but | have been as
sured that where the men petitioned
for are not named, other men equally
friendly to prohibition will be appoint

In each of the three voting pre-,
'cincts in Cadron township and the
city of Conway list of several
names was submitted, the petitioners
asking that appointments be made
from the list submitted. In the other
townships, in most cases, only three
names for judges were submitted.
The following is a list of townships
in which petitions pledging support
to statewide and naming judges to be
selected, with the number of names to

SALA AND THE COMPOSER
OF 1.-THE BOHEMIAN GIRL"

George August Sala, one of the best
known authors and newspaper writer's
of his time, had habit which always
chung to him of falling back upon his
early memories of plays and operas
when writing anecdotes for the press.
His wife and family were intimate
~ connected with Michael William
Balfe, the composer of THE Bohe-
milan Girl, an elaborate production
of which will come to the Grand thea
ter this evening.
When Sala was only seven years
old he attended one of Balfe's operas
and went wild over the superb sing
ing and the music. There was a
chorus in the opera called give lie
Roi," which dwelt in his mind in
later years because the singers shout
ed at the top of their voices, "Vive
lie Raw" 1t afforded him a case of
retentive. When grown to manhood
he happened to tell the give lie Raw
story in print. An obliging soul grave
ly doubted the truth of the assertion,
because he was only an infant when
the opera was first produced. 1t SO
happened that gentleman over
seventy years old was good enough
to write to him that he had a clear
recollection of the give lie Raw" in
cident.
Sala informs us that many might
think that, while still boy, he was
in the habit Of keeping shockingly late
hours, and they might conclude he
spent his childhood in Bohemia. III
that case, he said, it was a most
splendid Bohemia, and with his moth
er he saw a great deal of the palaces
and castles of Prague.
Later in life he saw great deal of
Balfe, the composer of THE Bohem-
ian Girl" 1t was toward the end Of
1871 that he heard Balfe singing in
his own opera at the English Opera
House. The speculation was a dis
astrous one, and Dalfe lost all the

to the earth's conter. This aattening
of the earth makes gravity greater in
high than in low ATTITUDES, and this va
Ration follows q known law.
The earth rotatcs on its axis once liz
twentyfour hours, and objects on the
surface tend to fly away from the earth
owing to the centrifugal force, just as
stone in sling flies off when re
leased. This force decreases the effect
Of gravitation or the pull of the earth
and is ut It's maximum at the equator
but diminishes to nothing at the poles.
This effect on gravitation also follows
we'll known law Now, the earths
surface is not even true spheroid for
there are vast mountain ranges and
deep oceans, and in any latitude the
force Of gravity is less the greater the
elevation Of the station above sea level
For instance, using a spring balance, a
cubic foot of steel will weigh less on a
mountain peak than in the valley be-
low. This change In the intensity of
the force Of gravity due to the eleva-
ton of the station likewise follows
known law.

DORBS TELLS REASON WHY

caused him to leave his chosen field
of work to enter into more danger

engaged in for the past ten years,

FORCE OF GRAVITY.
Why Matter Weighs More at the Poles
Than at the Equator.

The effect of the mountains. CONT
nents and oceans upon the earth's at
traction or gravity is the subject Of
an interesting report now in press of
an investigation by the coast and geo
detic survey.
The report states that if the earth
were a perfect sphere of uniform den
sity or sphere with concentric layers
of materials, each layer having a uni
form density, and If there were no
rotation about its axis. then the in
tensity Of the force Of gravity would
be the same at every place on its sur
face A certain mass of any material
would weigh the same in spring bal
ance at every place on the earth. How
ever, the earth is not sphere, but
spheroid, and the distance from the
north or south pole to the center Of the
earth Is thirteen miles shorter than the
distance from a point on the equator

THE "E3OICA" SYMPHONY.
eeethoven's Passion When Napoleon
Became Emperor.

Became Emperor.
Even when political capital was not
to be made of it. the favor of kings
and courtiers was, prior to the middle
of the nineteenth century, sought by
the artists in various fields Of activity,
who were generally dependent for
their position upon those high in po-
litical life, and even the most uncom-
promising among them found it expe-
dent to play polite politics in the in
terest of their art by defeating the
choicest of their works to noble pa
irons.
The most notable example Of mas
terwork with political origin is
Beethoven's "Eroica' symphony. Gen
eral Bernadotte during his residence
in Vienna in 1898 as ambassador from
the French nation suggested to Bee
thoven the composition of symphony
in honor of Napoleon. At that time
Napoleon was looked upon as the
champion of freedom, the savior of
his country, the embodiment of re
publican ideals, with which Beethoven
was in thorough sympathy, and he
willingly accepted the proposal. Be
fore the symphony was published Ma
pOleon became emperor. and when the
news reached Vienna Beethoven was
violently angcred. After all, then,
lie is nothing but an ordinary mortal.

under foot TO indulge his ambition

Among the many organizations in
America, that have become famous, the
Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey
Shows are conceded to be the largest
and most popular crcuses. But the
largest dramatic organization is
"Burk S Big Spectacular Production
of Uncle Toms Cabin.'' This NAM
moth amusement enterprise is the ac-
knowedged Barnum of all "Uncle
Tom S Cabin Companies,'' like the big
circuses, they travel in their own cars
and require a special train of their
own to transport their paraphernalia
from city to city. This organization
embraces more men, women and chill
drou, more horses ponies, donlleys and
Siher an blood hounds, more chariots,
floats, tableaux wagons. etc, than any
other similar exhibition in America.
The parade which may be seen daily
on the principal streets wherever this
mighty show exhibits, is the largest of
any dramatic exhibition in the world.
The immortal play, "Uncle Tom 3
Cabin,n is Mrs. Harriet Beecher
Stowe's masterpiece of dramatic tic
ton. The managementof Burk's big
company has spared no expense in Sc.
curing a metropolitan cast to properly
produce this grand old drama. In CON-
bination with the dramatic talent the
management presents contingent Of
high class vaudeville artists consisting
of merry-makers, jubilee singers, dan

COMMISSIONERS FAVOR
ROAD BONDS

Recognizing the fact that one of the
greatest needs to this state at the pres
ent time is good roads, the county com
missioners of Colorado have gone on
record as favoring the proposition to
vote bonds to the extent of ten million
dollars for such improvement in the
next ten years. If this issue carries,
it means an expenditure or one mil
lion each year for road construction.
Colorado s assessed valuation natur-
ally increases, and the further increase
which will come as a result of good
roads, will be more than enough to care
for the interest on these bonds. To
care for these bonds means an absurdly
small increase even at the presnt time
in taxation. Gone full grown chicken
for each rancher and farmer will pay
his tax for this bond issue,' declares
w. S. Wbinnery, president of the
County Commissioners association of
Colorado.
A favorable vote on these bonds
means that Colorado will soon become
one of the best advertised states in the
Union. Roads make any country, and
Colorado with her wealth of scenery,
her miles of undeveloped territory
needs them to bring to the attention
of the traveller and investor the won
derful resources of the state. This is
one expenditure which all who favor
the doing of those things which make
the state greater will be found unit

likewise most popular measure, and
these two bills will undoubtedly receive
