CHANCE TO KILL
 THE CATTLE TICK
Bulletin Calls Attention to 0p portunity to Rid the State
 of Pest.
CATTLE STILL INFESTED
But Pastures Are Clear and if Pre- cautions Are Taken Great Good
 Will Result

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Little Rock.-The United States De partment of Agriculture, in bulletin just issued, says the recent floods in the Mississippi Valley have giyer the planters an exceptional opportu nity to deal decisive blow against the tick, which transmits splenetic o1 Texas fever of cattle. When the wat CTS began to rise, the cattle wherever possible, were taken to 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 to but 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 in the pastures. It is true that the cattle tick is somewhat re- slstant to water, but the long dura- tion of the flood and the force of the current in the present instance have undoubtedly practically, if not com pletely, eXterminated the tick in 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 to 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 tie this reinfestation can be prevented

DEMOCRATIC STAtE PLATFORM

The Democratic party of Arkansas, assembled in convention at Little Rock, June 5, 1912, declares:
 1-The theory of government advo- cated by the Democratic rarty em- braces the principle that all just gov ernments derive their power from the consent of the governed; it also inn plies that these powers shall be ex- ercised solely in the public interest. This theory precludes favortism an1 special privileges, is consistent with the highest degree of personal llber- ty, and recognizes the equality of all citizens before the law.
 Tariff for Revenue Only.
 2-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.
 3-Steady development can be se- cured by encouraging desirable immi- grafton, inviting the investment of capital, and securing fair reward for labor.
 Econ>my.
 Ave demand simplicity and econ omy in the admins ration of public affairs to the end that the burdens of taxation may be diminished
 Trusts.
 5-Trusts and unlawful combina- tions are the natural consequence of the Republican policy of protection. Our trust laws could be impartially enforced, and the public protected from the oppression resulting from in- dustrial combinations.
 Popular Election of '. s. Senators. 6-We favor the amendment to the federal constitution providing for the election of United States. senators by direct vote of the people.
 Income Tax.
 We favor amending the federal constitution so as 10 authorize an in- come tax as a part of our national revenue system; and commend the A~'-~n~ae 1aoisiatura for it's action in ratifying the amendment which has been submitted.
 Banking.

ment by a Democratic revision and CO., dificat.on of our antiquated national banking laws; which would create an elastic banking system, and preserve our independent political control. We also believe and advise that the legislature enact a safe banking law for the supervision and regulation of hanks in this state.
 Education.
 9-Gratifying progress in educa- ton has been made in Arkansas un- der Democratic administrations. We pledge loyalty, encouragement and support to all our educational institu. tions, especially the common schools, the agricul' ural schools, the normal and university, to the end that the intelligence, prosperity and happiness of our citizens may bo nromoted. Taxation and Revenues. 10-Questions relating to taxation are frequently perplexing and diff cult of solution. The deficit now ex- isting in the general revenue fund has been occasioned in part by the limprovident method of making appro- 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 | time adopting the budget system of appropriations, so as to limit appro- priations to 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 U e indebtedness already created, and 10 raise sufficient revenue to meet Expenditures.
 Short Sessions of the Legislature.
 11-Short sessions of the general as- semtly 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 inn movements and development, hearti- ly endorsed the earnest efforts made in highway improvement, and pledges ] it's best effor-q to the future exten- sion of highways along systematic and comprehensive lines, and recon. mend adequate legislation for this rurrose.

state and local authorities ID the con struction and maintenance of post roads.
 13-Recent overflows of the Missis- sippi and it's tributaries, and conse- quent loss of life and property, em- phasize the necessity for strengthen ing our levee system. The subject Is of vital importance to localities direct ly affected, and the cause should be free from the iealousIes occasioned by political influences. Inasmuch as interstate interests are involved in the maintenance of the Mississippi river leyee system, and the commerce of the nation concerned in preventing a recurrence of these oyerfloWs, we may consider the advisability of at- tempting, in conjunction with other states interested, to induce the feder- al government to assume control and maintenance of the same. Certainly the boards of public control should be chosen from the localities concerned, either by popular vote or by the gen. eral assembly.
 The University.
 14-Patriotic considerations suggest the advisability of reform ill the man. Iagement of the university and consid- erations should be given to changes in the method of selecting the trus- tees, and a judicious reorganization of the university force.

We favor strong corrupt practices act, which, among other pro- visions, shall require publicity of cam- paign contributions and expenditures, and which shall limit expenditures of all candidates for nomination and election to any office, and specify the purpose for which expenditures may be made. Our political institutions must be protected from the leprosy of corruption.
