BROWN BREACHES
 LIBERAL DOCTRINE
HIS IDEA OF PROGRESS
SECRETARY WOULD REPEAL MANY LAWS, BUT FAVORS
 LOCAL OPTION.

Little Rock, July 25.-"We do not want our country so hide-bound and so enveloped in red-tape that a mans lice is one of constant petty annoy ance," is the declaration made by the Little Rock Board of Trade through it's secretary, Geo. R. Brown. While not committing the organization to all of his extreme views, MT. Brown probably voices the sentiment of majority of the members in demand ing more liberal laws
 He insists that Eff Arkansas could be freed of her legal chains for half adozen years, population and wealth would be doubled, and it would be the home of the happiest people in the world. Below are some of the things he would change in order to bring about this condition:
 Permit local option, not only as to the liquor question, but as to the thousand and one issues we have to meet.
 Make it known that all are well come at church, but let those who do not care to go to church, take their families to the parks, to the baseball game, to the theater or any other harmless amusement on Sunday.
 Repeal the antitrust law so the farmer may buy his machinery at home and not pay dozen prices. | Repeal the anti-futures law so the producer and the merchant may se- cure the full value of their cotton and not be at the mercy of the brokers of other states.
 Adopt a new constitution for the state
 Abolish local improvement dis tricts and let all who use the streets, sidewalks, sewers, etc., pay their part of the cost.
 "Give the cities the right to issue bonds under the strictest safe guards"
 These views were expressed by Sec retary Brown in an address before the Socialist local of Little Rock in discussing "the Advancement of Ar kansas"

legislation demanded by the people. It has been successfully used m the tariff question ever since the people began to demand the repeal of the Payne-Aldrcih tariff deal. Of course, the tariff commission furnishes a large number of handsome salaries for ''lame ducks and it also fur nishes the president an excuse for ve- toing such moderate reductions Tn tariff as a Democratic house IS able to force through Republican senate, but aside from this, if there have bcen any practical results from the commission they have never been an- nounced.
 It is hardly to be supposed that the railroads would have refused to carry the mails for the compensation pro- vided for them by the house, yet the Republican majority on the senate committee evidently felt that the poor railroads needed the money and quietly proceeded to present them with a paltry two and half million dollar bonus.
 But it was entirely contrary to Re publican principles to have permitted such a sum as this to be expended in roads. At least not until several years had been spent in in- vestigating the matter by comm:s- ciop

THE HOUSE AND THE SENATE.

Washington, July 23.-The postof- fee appropriation shorn of the good roads provision proposed by the house and embracing revised par cells post system with charges based on zones of distance was reported to the senate today by the postoffice committee. The total appropriations proposed by the bill are above those of the house measure, which carried approximately $26o,OOO,0o0. One of the principal increases is in the pay of the railroads for transporating mails, the senate committee adding more than $2,5OO, ,O00. In striking out the Shackleford good roads feature of the house bill, which provided for fed eral improvement of highways, the senate committee recommends an in vestigation by a special commission of three house members and three senators and provides for no high way improvement until this commits sion has reported.
 The above news dispatch uncon- sciously portrays the striking differ ence between the Republican party as the party of privilege, and the Democratic party as the party of the people. The postoffice appropriation bill, as passed by the Democratic house, was taken up by the Republican committee in the senate and "shorn of the good roads provision" but the total appropria- tions proposed by the committee are above those of the house measure, one of the principal increases being in the pay of railroads for transporting mails, the senate committee adding for this item more than two and a half million dollars. Instead of grant ing government aid for the construc- tion of post roads, the committee rec ommends "an investigation by com mission''-in other words, the crea- tion of several fat jobs for Republi- cans to hold, which virtually means that the United States will do noth- ing toward good roads until the Dem ocrats are placed in full power.
 Investigations by commissions is g favorite dodge of the administration to avoid the passage of progressive
