annually, why is it that rate of 40 cents is necessary in Texarkana, as contended by the local Water Corpor- ation? 1t is not. It is a graft. The people hope and believe the court will give them relief from this abnormal tax.-Texarkana Texarkanian.
 The Fort Smith water service rate of 25 cents per 1000 gallons for do- mestic consumption is the same as that now in force at the municipality owned water system in Conway. A rate of 20 cents is effective where the consumption amounts to more than 10000 gallons per month. These were the rates prescribed when the system was first put in operation and there is every probability that within a year or two when the consumption will have greatly increased there will be a substantial reduction in this rate.

WATER RATES AND PROFIT.
A Fort Smith dispatch says;


 "The Fort Smith municipal water plant earned more than $60,000 in 1913, according to the annual report of Wallace Bruce, made public today.
 "The cost of operating the plant for the entire year was S2S,500. The receipts were $89,O95.53, leaving a balance of $6O, ,595.53. The monthly consumption ranged from 68,340,9OO gallons in February to S7,372, ,000 gal Ions in September. The net monthly earnings ranged from $S62.65 to $16,- O69O8."
 The water service rate at Fort Smith is about 25 cents per 1000 gal Ions to domestic consumers. Much less to manufacturers and large con sumers. The water plant is owned and operated by the city. If the plant there can furnish water on a 25-cents basis and still earn over $60, 900 profit

NEED OF 4 COMMISSION.

The announcement by the Bell Tele- phone Company that the rates for service in the city of Little Rock are to be raised is beginning to bring out objections upon the part of the tele- phone subscribers in that city.
 This is merely another instance of the need of state public service commission to investigate such mat ters. The Log Cabin Democrat indi- cated this need in an editorial article several weeks ago, pointing out that such commission could also have settled the water service problem with which Little Rock is even yet wrest- ling. It could have arbitrated the differences between the subscribers of the Conway telephone system and it's management when the rates were raised here last summer.
 Corporations owning public utilities are almost always monopolies. It is best that they should be monopolies, because under competition We would have a wasteful and expensive dupli- cation of service. Street car systems, waterworks, telephone, electric light and gas systems should be and gen orally are monopolistic in their char acter.
 But for the very reason that such public utilities are essentially monop- olistic in their character, there ought to be some check against the natural tendency toward fixing the monopoly price for service-the point of the highest net returns, as the political economists say. Yet the consumer is not the person to fix a fair rate at which a monopoly must furnish ser vice. There ought to be some tribunal before which both the public utility corporation and the consumer may be heard and this tribunal ought to be empowered to settle any controversy, not only as to rates, but as to char acter of service; and to prevent any unfair discrimination.
 We believe that with a small amount of additional clerical force, the pres ent railroad commission could be con verted into a public service commits sion and could exercise the same su- pervision over public municipal util- ities that they now have over rail roads and express companies. If the need is properly presented to the next general assembly there should be lit tie difficulty in enacting the necessary legislation.

RATULATING OURSELVES.

The probability that Little Rock k's expert engineer will recommend the abandoning of the Arkansas river and the acquisition of water supply from the Maumelle should be source of much congratulation that the com- missioners and engineers who install ed the waterworks system in Conway declined to consider the Arkansas river as a source, but laid pipes an equal distance to Cadron creek. There were many who doubted the wisdom of this plan, but the experience of Little Rock shows foresight by those who directed the installation of the Conway system of which we may we'll be proud. The Maumelle is a stream very similar to the Cadron and the character of it's water is probably very much the same. It will be nee essary, however, for Little Rock to construct an immense dam and build 15 miles of mains to bring the Mau- melle water to the city.

CLARKE AND THE ADMINS
 TRATION.

Senator Clarke himself and the few newspapers supporting him. realizing that the Democracy of Arkansas is almost unanimously in accord with President Wilson and MT. Bryan, are seeking to convey the impression that the senator is in close touch and strong sympathy with the admins tration, which is relying upon him for the support of administration pol icies in the United States senate.
 As proof of this they point to the fact that Senator Clarke was elected president pro tempore of the senate.
 Senator Clarke is just as strongly in sympathy with the administration as is Speaker Champ Clark. How strongly they sympathized with Will son and Bryan was seen at the Balti- more convention, when MT. Clark wanted the presidential nomination himself and Senator Clarke, with the entire Arkansas delegation tied up under the unit rule, did all in his power to defeat Wilson end Bryan.
 Magnanimous and generous as they are and desiring above all harmony in the Democratic ranks, the president and MT. Bryan offered no opposition to the election of Champ Clark as speaker of the house and James P. Clarke as president pro tempore of the senate. But this was policy of conciliating bitter enemies of the ad- ministration rather of rewarding friends of the administration.
 It is true also that Senator Clarke voted for the two important admin istration measures which have been passed, the tariff and the currency bills. But so did every other Demo- cratic senator, with the exception of the two from Louisiana, and so did quite number of Progressives and Republicans. The sentiment of the country and especially of this state was such that it would have amounted to political suicide for him to do otherwise.
 Senator Clarke's hatred of all that is progressive in the policies of the Democratic party, as was expressed in his venomous denunciation of William J. Bryan at the last state Democratic convention, is as great today as it ever was. He has not dared to undertake to obstruct the progressive administration policies, but whenever the opportunity offers itself for the reactionary wing of the party to gain control we may depend upon it that Senator Clarke's sym natbv for the administration will be immediately dissipated.

STATUS OF THE GOING ACT.

The episode of the recent opinion, written but not handed down, by the attorney general that the Going anti liquor act is unconstitutional, has caused a revival of the idea that the opinion of the attorney general is "the law of the land until reversed by the supreme court"
 The attorney general has the right to express belief as to whether any measure is constitutional or unconsti- tutional, and it is made his duty to do so, when called upon by the head of any executive department of the state or any prosecuting attorney. But his opinion is not the law and is not even binding upon the official to whom he renders it. It is not greatly different from the advice which a merchant or banker seeks from the attorney he has regularly retained. The lawyer will give his opinion as to what the law is in a given case, but the client is in no way bound to act upon or to follow his attorneys advice.
 The courts alone can determine the constitutionality of an act passed by the legislature, the supreme court having final jurisdiction except where federal question is involved. And a court cannot decide whether crim- inal law is constitutional until some

EXPERIMENT WITH MA.
 CADAM.

ioAi tiiS IuoSSllNlilc SOuIleI-Dcul- ocrat we clip the following interest ing account of an experiment in build ing macadam roads in a rural town ship of Pope county. It only proves what the Log Cabin Democrat has been contending, that the cost of such roads ought not to be excessive and that the city of Conway can easily afford to build at least 15 miles of macadam streets if the proposition is properly handled. The Courier Democrats story follows:
 Ira Canerday, road overseer of Jackson township, is just completing one-fourth mile of the best read in Pope county, and as he has kept an itemized account of the cost of same, it should prove of interest to other road builders.
 "Mr. Canerday first graded his road to the proper width and height and then hauled rock and crushed it with stone hammers. He put the rock on the roadbed to thickness of eight inches, then three inches of dirt, and then a covering of four inches of gravel spread over the top. The roadbed proper is twelve feet wide. MT. Canerday's itemized ac- count of the expense of this quarter mile of road is as follows
 Overseer and team $34 .50 Free road labor 174.75 Cash donated by citizens 1925 Fines and costs worked out 2S.50 County labor 5000
 Total cost of road $37S.9O
 "The county labor was furnished by Judge Griffin's teams and cost the township absolutely nothing
 1t will be seen from the above sumary of figures that Jackson town ship has not been out one penny of its own funds except that paid the overseer for this splendid piece of road.
 Jackson township should, and no doubt does, appreciate MT. Caner- days service in improving our pub lie reads. If all overseers had his hustling qualities and the splendid share of road building ideas, our people would soon see marked inn in our roads.
 Since assuming the duties of over seer Mir. Canerday has graded all the roads where he could use his grader. He is also a strong advo- cate of the split-log drag, and uses it as much as possible after each rain."
