WHY NOT 1aG ARKANSAS B.cmfloRs7

A great many state legislatures hve given consideration to bills taxing bachelors and many con- yincing arguments have been pre- sented why men who escape mat rinony should pay penalty, but
 why not tag them as more pain less and effective method of exter- mination? If the bachelors were tagged the widows could easily find them and Cupid would do the rest. The bachelor is naturally timid, but under the encouraging influences of merry widow he can be easily led to the altar. for there is no more helpless crlft afioat than Q love- sick swain who has passed the age cf discretion, and the little imp who

za ton of her communities would be abused. There is every reason, on the other hand, for believing that i'm provements of the character consider cd needful to communities in other states would, in Arkansas, increase taxahle wealth and make for the gen eral welfare Furthermore, the meas ure of financial freedom gained through the proposed amendment by the several communities would, we believe, have an expansive influence promote public enterprise and stimu- late laudable emula sion in all locali- ties. The present is in constant debt to the future: the future is properly in constant debt to the past; if through bonding for public improve ment the present imposes obligations on the future. it also by this means bestows benefits for which the future should be grateful. Some day eco monies will be so perfected as to per. nit of no debt-making, no interest paying, no public obligations save those due to the public itself; until this ideal shall be realized it will be wise 10 follow the best customs of the age in which we live according to the best lights we can summon for our guidance"

Gan Americans realize what raising an army means in conti- mental Europe? Mobilization of troops in Europe means oonscrip- tion. The mere nod Of head and the beckoning of a finger brings millions to the colors. There are no calls for volunteers. There IS no need for any. Men between the ages of IS and 55, the age when energies should be devoted to peaceful arts. are forced, whether or no, to fight for their king or em- peror. Americans can hardly ap- preciate the pressure which is brought to bear on the young mer of the warning powers. There is no need for further explanation why millions of Europe's indus trious and peace loving citizens have come to America during tht past sixty years.

WILSON'S WARNING.

With accustomed timeliness President Wilson, in warning proclamation which will live in his tory, adnonishes Americans to be clrcumspect and charitable during tl1e present European crisis, a crisis which might involve this country in difficulties not at all understood by those not in touch with the dip lomatic situation. It surely be- haoves every American citizen, no matter how his passions or preju- dices run, to be careful of his acts and words during the European war, the greatest conflict that the world has ever seen. It is very easy to express ones opinion SC earnestly in the hearing of another that heartaches are caused and passions aroused. It is very easy for a newspaper to make some foolish break" which might cause embarrassment at Washington ano p'ange this country into war.

MEANS INCREASE
 OF STATES WEALTH
MUNICIPAL BOND AMENDMENT WILL MEAN MUCH GREATER
 FINANCIAL FREEDOM.

One of the strongest commenda- tions of the Municipal Bond Amend ment is contained in the following editorial from the Christian Science Monitor, published in Boston. Mass:
 'In common with several of her sister states, Arkansas at the close of the so-called reconstruction period found herself involved in obligations created for her by political adven- turers and exploiters of her resour- ces. Obtaining repessession of haf full rights of statehood, one of her first acts was to erect constitution al safeguard against the recurrence of such conditions. Bonds had been issued upon the credit of the state and it's municipalities. the proceeds of ! which, in large part or wholly, were diverted to private use or seandalous- ly squandered. Hence she inserted in her constitution a clause prohibiting l thenceforth the issuance of bonds by towns, cities or counties. The prohi- hition has been effective in the sense desired: it remains operative to this day; only through direct taxation may towns, cities or counties in Arkansas carry on improvements. They must pay as they go. In September the vo- ters of the state may decide for them | selves at the polls whether they shall be privileged, in their collective ca paeity as towns, cities or counties, to go into debt.
 "It is almost a foregone. conclusion that they will decide in the affirma- tive, because they did so at the last regular election, when the initiative and referendum were tried for the first time in Arkansas. The amend ment providing for the right of iss,i- Ing bonds was then carried by a large majority, but vas nulified by the su- preme court upon the teehnicalitY that it added to ihe number of amend ments that could he voted on legally at the time. Tho change in the con stitution-a change which it's advo cates claim will unfetier and liber ate the state-has the indorsement oi the mayors Of the towns and cities and may be truthfully described as a popular proposal.
 eIt is impossible to conceive Of 2 repetition in Arkansas of the deplor able experiences that led her to adopt so restrictive a constitutional provi sion. There is, at any rate, no req son to feel at this time that the priv ilege of issuing bonds to meet the cos of needed improvements-suc cos as might te involved in the moderni
