2 Arkans As is the only state Ia the
Union which prohibits its cities and
towns from issuing bonds for public
improvements. Our cities and towns
are. therefore. laboring under a heavy
handicap as compared with all other
cities and towns in adjoining states.
3. Amendment No. 3 Is Democrat
ic in principle, in that 1t gives the
people OF cities and towns the right
to regulate their own affairs. 1t clear
ly establishes the principle of Home
Rule
A. Amendment No Is fully safe
guards the rights of the people OF
every community. It requires a ma
Jority vote of all qualified voters at a
regularly called election before bonds
can be issued. Sixty days notice must
be given, by publishing the purpose OF
the bond issue four times in local
newspapers so that referendum Is
had on every proposed improvement.
o. Amendment No. 10 will lessen
the rate OF interest for all public Inn
provements. Cities of the first class
must sci their bonds at par at not
more than five per cent per annum.
Cities OF the second class and incor-
porated towns OF a thousand or more
must sell their bonds at par and at not
more than six per cent per annum
The average cost now is eight per
cent besides the expense and cumber-
some methods OF organizing improve
ment districts
6. Amendment No. Is will give you
the cash Win which to pay for your
public improvements, and will enable
the cities and towns OF Arkansas to do
business like a mercantile establish
ment with high credit ratings. Many
contractors will be ready to bid on
your work because they will know
just when and how they are to get
their pay.
7. Amendment No. Is will relieve
the present generation from paying
for the improvements that future gen
erations will use and enjoy Ii dis
tributes the burden of taxation equal
ly. thus allowing public improvements
to be made without seeming confisca-
ton of property at any one time.
8. The present Constitution was
adopted in 1874 Times and conditions
have changed, and the people OF Ark
ansas now govern themselves, and the
right to issue bonds is essential to
the progress and prosperity OF the
State The people can be trusted to
make wise and efficient use OF the
bonding power for necessary public
improvements.
8. All other Southern states have
the right to issue bonds. Why not
Arkansas? Very few business men
could make a success If they were
prevented from borrowing money. II
you were denied the right to borrow
money, when you possessed good col
lateral you would resent 1t. Why
deny this right to your cities?

feating them by a score OF TO g. 1t was
the fourth game out Of the last five played
with Jersey city that Newark has won,
and this last victory put the Indians at the
top Of the second division. the highest they
have been since early In the season. They
made their gain by passing Toronto. which
lost. The Indians also have been the means
of pulling the Skeeters out Of first place.
Newark made only nine hits two more

in punching them Tie four OF the nino
made in the sixth inning and which brought

Swacina opened with the first single,
Vaughn sacrificed, then Collins tripled.
