LAWYERS OPPOSE
 JUDICIAL RECALL ALSO AGAINST l. AND R. ARKANSAS BAR ASSOCIATION RESOLVES AGAINST NEW
 PRINCIPLES.

Little Rock, June 5.-The Arkan- sas Bar Association went on record against the referendum and initia- tive and the recall of judges and ju- d;cial decisions, by very decisive vote, although these governmental checks and balances" were champion ed by such men as Senator James P Clarke, under proper safeguards and restrictions, Chancellor T. H. Hum phreys of Fayetteville, and Judge John Mcclure of Little Rock.
 Considerable time during the aft ernoon of the last day was devoted to q discussion, Judge Jos. NJ. Hill and Hon. Chas. C. Reid leading the argu- ment against the recall, and Judge J. W. Blackwood and Judge c. c. Waters speaking for it. Finally, the following resolution was adopted as presented by George B. Rose, after the elimination of somewhat vitri- ohe preamble in which he declared that the recall would produce an- archy:
 Be it resolved by the Arkansas State Bar Association, That We con- demn and deplore the agitation in fa- vor of a recall of the judges or re- view of their judgments by popular vote, and that individually and as a body We will endeavor to maintain the independence of the judiciary, which we recognize as the supreme safeguard of our government and the only effective security of our right to life, liberty and the pursuit of hap piness."

STATE MUST LIFT
 TAX OR BORROW
ROBINSON OUTLINES PLAN
SUGGESTS TWO METHODS OF RELIEVING STATES FINAN-
 CAL CONDITION.

The state must either borrow mon-
 ey at interest or increase the general
 revenue rate in order to meet the present financial situation, accord
 ing to Congressman Joe T. Robinson, who devoted considerable portion of
 his speech accepting the gubernato-
 rial nomination to a discussion of this subject. On the financial ques- ton he said:
 The first and perhaps the most important subject confronting the state relates to its financial condition
 A deficit has arisen in the general revenue fund, and the state govern ment is being conducted in part on a script basis. The deficit must be provided for, and the government ad- ministered in the future on a cash basis. Every citizen must realize the importance of both these proposi- ti0ns. Neither alone is sufficient, but if both are adopted, the states finances will be speedily restored. Two methods of reforming our finan- cial system suggest themselves. The existing deficit may be absorbed in a loan to the state at low rate of in- terest and gradually discharged through the sinking fund. This would dispose of the present deficit, but it would not prevent another arising In order to accomplish this, the budget system of appropria- tions should be established, and the states expenses hereafter limited to its revenues. If this be not done, the only other way to conduct the state on cash basis is to collect such rates within the constitutional limit as will meet the expenditures autho- rized. If the legislature refuses to adopt the budget system and take up the present debt by loan, then an in crease in the general revenue rate seems imperative. This might be nit igated by temporarily suspending the capitol tax. It is, of course, desira- ble to complete the capitol, but the extension and adornment of the capi- tol grounds can well abate until the urgent and pressing demands grow ing out of the states debts have been provided for. I am not in favor of extending the area of the capitol grounds until this has been done.
 "The states financial system does not appear to have been wisely ad- ministered at all times in the immed- fate past. It is of secondary import ance to locate the blame, the primary consideration being to discover and apply the remedy. This subject must receive frank and courageous treat ment. To administer the state gov ernment on a scrip basiA increases expenses, occasions great inconven- fence and belittles the dignity of the state"

Gratis Of the county advised against
naming candidate against him, TAX
ing the broad view that he has been a
good public servant and should be made
certain of reelection. Therefore, the
democrats have no candidate against
him.
Earl K. Parks, candidate for county
clerk, is one of the appointed officers,
who, at the organization of the county,
was called upon to grapple with the
question Of conducting his Office, and
has familiarized himself with all IFS
details. The experience he has gained
in this manner is Of value to the coun-
ty, and he should be granted reelection.
His court records are neatly and accur-
ately kept.
Mr.. G.. F. Talmadge, for county treas
urer, is man whose life work has fit
ted him for the position he seeks. He
has been engaged for years as an &C.
countant in positions Of trust similar to
the &c of county treasurer. He is
courteous and obliging, thoroughly COM
petent, and possesses good business
judgment.
The most equitable assessment that
property in this county has ever had
was made under the direction of E. D.
Purchase, county assessor. To take up
new work and carry it to a success
full termination is credit to any man,
and Mr.. Purchase is certainly entitled
to commentator. The training he has
secured during the past Is months has
qualified him to continue the work in
the best interests of the property own
ers of the county.
y. Z. JENNIE possesses in marked de-
gree the essential qualifications for a
peace officer. In aspiring to the Office
of county sheriff, he comes with a good
record IN the past as deputy sheriff
for Stevens county, and as town mar
shall IN Newport. For the past seven
years he has been doing work in line
with that required of the sheriff. and
has thus familiarized himself with the
enforcement of criminal law and the
workings of civil procedure.
Il. NJ. Vail, for county engineer, was
one OF the original appointive officers
OF the county. During the time since
the organization of the county. he has
surveyed and recorded more miles of
road than in all the previous history
OF this section. He has been at all
times ready to accommodate the people
OF the more remote sections in getting
their surveys established, and his famili-
arlty with the county road records is
OF value to the county. Previous to re-
siding In this section, he has held MANY
positions of responsibility in connection
with large engineering works.

lady voters on the ticket, has no opposi.

REPUBLICAN TICKET STRONG
County Candidates Are Good
Men For Positions.
Receiving Favorable Consideration

With election only two weeks off, it
is very apparent that the republican
county ticket, strong from the begin
ming by virtue of the fact that this is
a republican county at least two to one,
10 increasing in strength with the vot-
ers. The ticket is composed of clean,
capable men, working well together.
The county commissioners ticket is
one in which the taxpayers of the coun-
ty are vitality interested, for in the
hands of these men is entrusted the gen.
eral management of the affairs of the
county, and upon their work in doing
SO is largely dependent the amount of
money raised for taxation and results
from it's expenditure.
In the first district the candidate is
c. A. Fielder, for Is years resident
in the county, and a large property
holder. It may be said of him that no
man in the county is better acquainted
with GH0 CouuGJ anu LIS IOduS Cudu Is
he, and, more than that, he is familiar
with the undeveloped sections Of the
county and knows their needs. He has
ample time to apply to the business of
the county, and stands for an econom-
ical administration and an equitable
distribution of money for road purposes.
R. Greenhalgh, of Usk, is the candi-
date for the second district commission
ership. Mr.. Greenhalgh is a successful
business man who has been a resident
of the county the past three years. He
is engaged in the hardware business,
and is not only familiar with business
methods, but has the further advantage
of having had experience in the admin
istration of county business in his form
er home. He is highly recommended
to the voters by all who have learned
to know him.
The nominee of the third district is
o. L. Carmichael, of Metaline. Mr.
Carmichael has resided north of Metal
inc the past seven years, and has sue.
ceeded well as a farmer and stock rails.
er. The respect and confidence shown
in him by the people of the Metaline
country serve as a sufficient recomend
alton to the people of the remainder
of the county, where he is not so well
known.
AS county auditor since the organiza
alton of the county, III. Fl. Murray has
made an exceptional record. So well
has he served that the leading demo

To All Whom This May Concern


To All Whom This May Concern
am asked by E. K. Parks, present
Clerk and ex-oficie Clerk of the Super
ior Court of Pend 0reille county, for a
recommendation of his past services as
such clerk, providing the facts justify
the same.
Out of the relationship existing be-
tween our respective Offices, the work
of his Office being directly under my
supervision, upon the finding of facts
sufficient to warrant such recommends
ton, deem it my plain duty to state
to the public, who are entitled to such
information, the facts in relation there
to as I find them to be.
Mr.. Parks, at the time of the creation
of Pend Oreille county, was appointed
to the office of Clerk of the Court by
the Board of County Commissioners.
The work to be performed in such an
Office under ordinary and usual condi-
lions is complicated and in many re-
spects very technical. In the opening
of his office for the new county he had
at his command no references or records
of other clerks to aid him in the per-
Torrance of his duties. He was COM
PEELED to rely upon his own study and
examination of the law of the state,
prescribing the manner in which his
work should be performed, and received
but little assistance from the presiding
judge, by reason of the fact that the
judge resided in Stevens county. Under
these extraordinary conditions of the
first two years history of his office, the
records of his office as they now stand
justify me in saying there are no better
made and kept records of court and
county work in any comfy of the state
than those of Mr.. Parks.
Aside from the records of his work,
he has always shown himself to be
painstaking, agreeable and accommo-
dating in the performance of his duties
to the public, attorneys and judge. He
is man of high moral character and
deserves my highest recommendation as
to the past work of his Office
Respectfully,
D. H. CAREY,
Presiding Judge of Stevens and Pend
Oreille Counties.

ton for reelection. Miss Soules has

ton for reelection. Miss Soules has
given the rural schols particular atten-
ton, and has visited the more remote
districts frequently to keep in touch
with and supervise conditions. That
she has no opposition is a decided COM
pliment to good public servant.
The reelection of S. J. Appleman to
represent this county in the state legis-
lature means that the county would have
the benefit of the experience gained by
him in the previous session. He formed
at that time the acquaintance of other
members that is so essential to the sue
cess of member, and so vitality affects
his value to his constituency. He is
deserving Of reelection on the further
ground that he has at all times in the
past six years has been ready to give his
time, efforts and money to help forward
every move for the development of this
new country of ours, and has partici-
pated in every public movement.
E. I. Jones, republican candidate for
prosecuting attorney, has been a resi-
dent Of the town of Newport for the
past four years. He graduated from
the law department Of the University
of Michigan, at Ann Arbor, one of the
oldest and best law schools in the coun-
try, in 1907, and since that time has
been actively engaged in the practice
of law. He served as city attorney of
Newport during the year 1910, was
elected mayor by an almost unanimous
vote for the year 1911, and is at present
