RAD ROADS MAKE
 FARMERS LOSE MONEY

Washington. July 22.-Where bad roads prevail farmers are forced to move their crops, not when the market prices are favorable, but when the roads are favorable, and frequently at heavy pecuniary loss as result. according to the office of public roads of the department of agriculture. In statement is sued today it cites specific cases Of such losses, the information being based on reports by it's experts.
 Excessive fluctuations in market prices are seldom due to overpro- duction." the statement asserts. They frequently take place in re- gions where the local production does not equal the consumption. There are counties rich in agricul- tural possibilities, burdened with bad roads, where the annual in- coming shipments of food exceed the outgoing shipments in the ra- tio of four to one. Many such counties with improved roads would not only become self-sup- porting. but would ship products to other markets .'

 At a meeting held in the after noon enthusiastic talks were made for a tlrSt-class "oad to the Polk county line, the general opinion seeming to be that it should come ny way of Red Bird.
 The Mena delegates stated that they were there iu behalf of their lefty and county and that they be- lieVed the people they represented desired particularly a road to con- meet them with Womble, Hot Springs and the east.
 It then was decided that Mena and Womble should each appoint committee, these committees to take up the question by correspond ence and otherwise, and put forth every effort possible for the enter prise.

County and City Join To
 Build Ten Miles Good Roads

Continued From First Page the entire road first would be grad ed and then as much of it covered with crushed stone as possible.
 On Strengthening the Road.
 Dr. DeLongy made an earnest talk in favor of bringing the road to the section lines and thereby elimi- mating considerable of the distance. After some talk MT Pipkin stated that such change could only be made through regular process of law, the first step being the filing of a petition to the county court by the people interested to have the change made. It was stated that before the road was built it was probable that a state highway engi- neer would be called 10 give his advice on this and other points. The citizens present did not desire to go on record as urging a change in the location of the road, feeling that was a matter that should be left to the people of the district As a step to make the position of the meeting clear, the following resolu- tiOn was introduced and adopted:
 Resolved, That it is the sense of this meeting that any changes in the present line of the road from Powell creek to Mena, so as to place same upon the section line. will meet with our hearty ap- proval."
 Judge Martin appointed J. A. Thornton, w. s. MacLafferty and J. A. Cornell as the committee to se- cure funds on behalf of the city, as provided by the resolutions adopt ed.
 A distinguished citizen in the per son of the Hon. Hal L. NOrwood was present and was requested to make a talk, but stated that he preferred to listen to the plans of those who proposed to get down to practical work for good roads.

SUBMITS REPORT
 ON TARIFF BILL
Finance Committees Report Shows Average Reduction of 27.6l Per Cent Under Payne -Aldrich Bill
 Tax on Cotton Futures.

Washington, July 1S.-The Sen ate finance committee this morning submitted to the Senate it's report on the tariff bill, showing an aver age reduction of 276i per cent un- der the rates of the existing Payne Aldrich bill
 The report also shows the Senate bill provides rates l.22 per cent lower that the bill did when it passed the House.
 This bill, and the revenues from other sources, is expected to bring the governments total income for the fiscal year to $996, ,9l0,OOO.
 The report says, concerning the provision for a tax of one-tenth of cent per pound on cotton sold through stock exchange for fu- ture delivery:
 The committee is advised that since 1907 no official record of the extent of the dealings on cotton ex- changes in contracts for future de- livery is accessible, but reliable es- inmates fix these dealings at about 13,000,000 bales annually.
 Tt is the consensus of opinion that about 10 per cent of these fu- ture contracts is embraced in that branch of the business known as hedging, and that the other 90 per cent is of speculative or gamb- ling character"
 The committee suggests that this tax may eliminate nearly all of the future dealings except the hedging business.

WANT SHIPPERS TO BEAR THE EXPENSE
Recent Victory of Arkansas in Rate Coees Means Thousands of Dol lars to the Large Shippers
 should State Pay Cost?

1tle Rock, July l9 Special to Tho Starr For the purpose of making the shippers pay back to fine taxpayers of the state the ex- npnses of the rate litigation be- i,toen the state and the railroads, Atforney General W. L. Moose Sat urdav morning filed in the United cfotps court an intervention in the case of the Iron Mountain and Cot tan Belt railroads against the mem hers of the Arkansas Railroad Com mission.
 At the beginning the state appro- nriated S5O,OO0 for the purpose of omploying special counsel to fight tbe increase in freight and passen- COP rates. To this was added $15,- 000 to pay the expenses of taking an anneal to the United States Supreme coi1rt where the state of Arkansas rocpntlv won it's case and the rail- roads have already begun to charge lower freight and passenger rates.
 When the railroads, through their iniunction against the state laws, granted by the Federal court, put into effect the increased rates, the shipper merely added the increased cost to the selling price, and the consumer paid for the freight rates in the end. The shipper lost nothing. yet he is now about to col lpct large sums, if he was a large shipper. in rebates for the over charges. The taxpayers bore the expense of the litigation. and if the prayer of the petition filed by the attorney general is not granted, the shipper will make the amount of the rebate as profit. To him il is iust like finding money.
 When the special counsel was empoIyed. Joseph NJ. Hill. James H.. Harrod and William F. Kirby, the attorneys. went into the case with out stipulation as to the time they were to give their services for the amount appropriated. They en- listed for the fight. and there was an understanding that if the state won they should be properly re- warded Even the largest of the shippers. who will get thousands of dollars in rebates, declare that the attorneys should receive additional compensation for their work, and they are willing to have a percent age deducted from their rebate in order that this might be paid with out the state having to bear the eN- penSe.
 The amount to be refunded to shippers and travellers is estimated from Sl000,000 to Si,0OO,0O0. while the cost 10 the taxpayers has been only S65000 It is suggested, but not in the intervention or any of the papers which will be filed in court that the attorneys fees be increased to make the total cost to the state SiO0,O00.
 If the intervention is granted by Judge Trieber, the special master who determines the amount to be refunded to each shipper or trav- eler will deduct Q specific per cent. The first S65.OOO of this would be returned to the state treasury, helping out the depleted general revenue fund, and the other S35,000 would go to the attorneys.
 Governor Futrell has joined At torney General Moose in the inter yeniton in behalf of the state.
