 LeVees
 1S-Recent overflows Of the Nissis- sippi and it's tributaries, and conse- quent loss of life and property, em- phasize the necessity for strengthen- ing our leyee system The subject is ot vital importance to localities direct. ly affected. and the cause should be free from the jealousies accustomed by political influences Inasmuch as interstate interests are involved in the maintenance Of the Misstssippi river levee system, and the comm arce of the nation concerned in preventing a recurrence of these overflows, we may consider the adyisability of at tempting, in conjunction with other states interested, To induce the feder- al eot eramsnt to assume control and maintenance of the same. Certainly the boards of public control should be chosen rom the localities concerned, either by popular vote or by the gen. eral assembly

 Advantage.

 Chicago. Publicity will govern the Republican National Committee in it's deliberations upon the contests for seats in the na ional convention. This was decided without opposition at the opening session of the committee, in accordance with the expressed wishes of President Taft and Col. Theodore Roosevelt. The public and the news papers will be represented by the five press associations recognized by ad- mission of their representative to the floor of the national house of repre- sentatives al Washington
 SeyentYtwo delegates from Ala bama, Arkansas and Florida were ad- ded 10 the Republican National Com mittce on the s0-called Roosevelt con tests from those states. All contests presented before the committee at this time were decided in Tafts favor. and in all but two or the decisions of the committee was unanimous.
 In view Of the bitter feeling between the Taft and Roosevelt adherents. the opening of the meetings was surpris- ingly peaceful, although it opened with contest which seemed 10 fore east a degree of friction This, how ever failed to materiali2e.
 The Roosevelt mon charged that the Arkansas representation organiza- lions consisted of "postmasters and other federal employees, the sole pur- Dose of which organization is the distribution of fcdarel patronage"

CHANGE TO KILL
 TIE CAT TIE TICK
Bulletin Calls Attention to Cp- portunity to Rid the State

Western Newspaper Union News serr,c,

Western Newspaper Union News Service
 Little Roek.-The United States De partment of Agriculture, in d bulletin just issued, says the recent floods in the Mississippi Valley have given the planters an exceptional opportu- nity to deal a decisive blow against the tick, which transmits splenetic or Texas fever of cattle. When the wat CTS began 10 rise, the cattle wherever possible, were taken 10 the higher lands such as mounds and the levees In many cases all of the cattle found in areas of many square miles were concentrated on the leVees. Conse quently. for many weeks the areas over which the cattle have roamed have been reduced 10 but a very small fraction Of the area over which they would feed naturally. While the cat tie have been greatly concentrated in this manner the. ticks have been de stroyed ill the pastures It is true that the cattle tick is somewhat re sistant to water, but the long dura ton of the flood and the force of the current Tn the present instance have undoubtedly practically, if not com pletely, eXterminated the tick ill all except the high localities in many counties in Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi. of course. the cattle that were concentrated on the levees or mounds carried many ticks to those places with them. These ticks have developed on the cattle and their pro geny have reinfested the cattle. When these cattle are returned 10 the pas lures which are now free from ticks they will carry many ticks with them and in this manner the pastures will quickly become reinfested If proper steps are taken by owners of the cat tle this reinfestation can be prevented to very great extent

DEMOCRATIC STATE PLATFORM

The Democratic party of Arkansas. assembled in convention at Little Rock. June ,, 1912. declares
 The theory of government adyo- cated by the Democratic party em- braces the principle that all just gov ernments derive their power from the consent of the governed, it also i'm plies that these powers shall be ex- ereised solely in the pubic interest. This theory preeludes favortism and special privileges. is consistent with the highest degree of personal liber- ty, and recognizes the equality of all citizens before the law.
 Tariff for Revenue Only.
 9-The power of the federal gov ernment to impose and collect tariff duties should be exercised solely for the purpose of revenue: this should be limited to the necessities of the government when honestly and econo- mically administered
 Development of Arkansas.
 Steady development can be se- cured by encouraging desirable immi- grafton, inviting the investment of capital and securing fair reward for labor.
 Eeon5my.

We also believe and advise that the legislature enact safe banking law for the supervision and regulation of banks in this state.
 Education.
 9-Gratifying progress in eduea- tion has been made in Arkansas un- der Democratic administrations. Ne pledge loyalty. encouragement and support 10 all our educational institu- tions. especially the common schools. the agricultural schools, the normal and university. to the end that the intelligence, prosperity and happiness of our citizens may be promoted
 Taxation and Revenues.
 10-Questions relating to taxation are frequently perpleN!ng and diff cult of solution The deficit now ex- sting in the general revenue fund has been occasionea in part by the improyident method of making appra- priations now prevailing. Our state government should be restored to a cash basis This may be accomplish ed either by absorbing the existing deficit in loan at low rate of in terest, and discharging the same through the sinking fund, at the same ha oF appropriations, so as 10 limit appro- priations 10 the revenue. Or, If that cannot be done, then the general rev enue rate should be so increased as to provide as speedily as possible for the indebtedness already created, and 10 raise sufficient revenue to meet expenditures.
 Short Sessions of the Legislature.
 11-Short sessions of the general as- sembly are favored as a means of les sening expenses, preventing extrava- gant appropriations and unnecessary special legislation.
 Highways.
 12-That the Democratic party. ever committed to the policy Of public i'm proyements and development hearti- ly endorses the earnest efforts made in highway improvement. and pledges its best efforts to the future exten- sion of highways along systematic and comprehensive lines. and recon. mend adequate legislation for this purpose.

Rails Are
Being Laid

A $4,000 expenditure is to be made
by the Portland, Eugene & Eastern
Railway Co., in the improvement OF
the South Commercial street line from
the end of the line near the stone
quarry to Mission street. The dis
tance covered by the improvement is
two miles.
The improvement of the line will
consist in the complete rebuilding Of
the track with new rails and ties and
the installment Of entire new construc-
tion overhead The present rails are
3--pound rails which have been found
too light especially since the new
cars were placed on the line. The new
rails are 65-pound and are five and
one-half inches high. The entire two
miles of track viii be macadamized,
the strip macadamized to be nine feet
wide. The work will be completed in
about two weeks, The company will
also improve in short time North
Commercial street and Summer and
Winter streets.
