CENTER POINT.

As the old year is nearly gone, go with it sorrows and joys; let all classes of people endeavor to make the year of 1915, the best in all his tory. To the farmers, let us begin to make farming a business in pro- duction of corn. A wonderful inn provement can be made in the yield and quality of corn. Our present sys- tenn of farming will not do, for we find that children are out of school. The cause is, We depend too much on cotton. Home and schools are closely connected. We hope the Log Cabin Democrat will give space next year to the farming and stock business.

EVERY white physician in Conway signed a telegram congratulatlng Governor Hays upon his stand in the controversy between Dr. Greene and the state board. These gentlemen are all acquainted with pr. Greene and most, if not all, of them have visited the state hospital. It is to them that we all go for treatment and advice upon all diseases, whether of the body or mind. They know the character of Dr. Greene's work and it is highly significant that they are unanimous in the opinion that he should be rem stated as superintendent of the state hospital for nervous diseases.

SCHOOL TAXES.

The Memphis Commercial Appeal gets a good deal of transformation about Arkansas from it's Little Rock correspondent, but an item appeared a few days ago that rather goes be- yond anything we have previously seen. This is a story to the effect that the people of Arkansas are prac- tically unanimous in their opposition to a proposed amendment to the con- stiution permitting school districts to levy as much as 12 mills school tax when needed, or as little as they de- sire. It is possible, of course, that when this amendment is submitted to the people it may be defeated, but how the Commercial Appeal corre- spondent knows that the measure is so completely in disfavor is more than we can understand. As a matter of fact, everything that we have seen published in the press of the state, which may fairly be taken as some in dication, at least, of public sentiment, is heartily in favor of the amendment.
 In many states no limit is placed up- on the amount of school tax a district may levy, this matter being left en- tirely with the people of the district who vote it.
 The school tax is the cheapest tax people pay, and is about the only one for which they receive a direct bene- fit and full value for their money. Practically all other taxes go for the support of the various departments of government, but the school tax makes it possible for ones children to re- ceive an education which it would be impossible for the average man to buy for them in private school.
 Here in Conway, where the school district is constantly handicapped by a lack of funds and where the direc tors and School Improvement Asso- citation are constantly forced to col lect aid from outside sources in order to maintain the high standard of the school, we believe large majority of the people would gladly welcome an opportunity of voting in favor of an amendment which would permit a greater revenue to be levied when the occasion demanded, yet leaving them free to vote smaller tax if the ma iority so desired The same sentl- ment, we feel sure, prevails in many other districts in Faulkner county and in many if not most of the dis tricts in the state. The tremendous majority given to amendment No. $, which increased the state school levy from two to three mills and raised the maximum district levy from five to seven mills, together with the fact that more than two-thirds of the dis tricts in the state are now regularly voting the full seven-mill tax, argues very plainly that the Commercial Ap- peal correspondent is speaking with out a knowledge of the true condl- tions when he says that the opposi- ton to the proposed amendment is well-nigh unanimous.

THE DUTY OF THE PUBLIC IN

means are employed and the co-ope-
ration of the public is secured, the
latter being most valuable aid in
obtaining this result
History presents abundant evidence
Of the rayages caused by outbreaks
of infectious diseases which are un-
restricted in their course. on the
other hand, we have unlimited proof
that where proper sanitary regula-
tons are strictly enforced such out.
breaks are Of comparatively short du-
ration and are soon under control
There are two groups Of infectious
diseases, of which the quarantinable
ones, such as the plague, cholera, ty-
plus fever, smallpox and yellow fe-
yer are the worst and the wonderful
change which has taken place In the
prevention of these diseases. through
modern sanitary methods, is known
only too well to tn medical world
The other group of infectious dis
eases which may be found almost
everywhere and at any time, are
scarlet fever, measels. and diphthera,
and are constantly with us because
proper care is not taken to prevent

son that our public health laws are
severely inadequate.
