Other Side of Proposed Act No. 3

The newspapers that are so industri- ously advocating the publicity bill known as act No. 3, to be voted on at the September election, are not giving any publicity whatever to the side of question that relates to the pay the newspapers will get out of it. It means several thousand dollars annually will go from depleted state treasury to the pockets of the owners of certain political organs which the secretary of state or some other political boss will portion out with the precision that always characterizes the bosses in deal ing with the faithful. A sample or the workings of such law was enacted when many of the favored ones were permitted to draw about 5000 for publishing the I. and R. acts and amendments in 1912-this for perform ing a service that actually cost less than $50. Any newspaper could have hand led the proposition for $100 and have made money on it. Newspapers that are now publishing the syndicate, made -to-measure editorials that are being sent out from Little Rock in | advocacy of Act No. 3 could sweeten their remarks considerably by explain ing something about that juicy little publicity business in 1912. The voters should remember Act No. when they go to vote and give it the scratching it so richly deserves.
 There would be some resemblance of fairness in the measure, if it provided that all the papers in the county could enter into competition for this printing and the safeguard of fair price for the work were thrown around it, just as banks are permitted to bid on rates of interest for holding the county's funds, but such is not the object. As we see it, Act No. is designed solely for the purpose of feathering the nests of the political editors.

Masonic Lodge is Thriving.

At the annual installation of the officers of the local Masonic lodge on St Johns day, brief mention of which event was given in last weeks Tribune, the ''purple of the fraternity" was placed upon the shoulders of the fol- lowing:
 c. D. Shaffer, w. M.
 L. H. Smith, s. w.
 Carey Ingram, J. w.
 c. B. Grim, Treas.
 s. N. Edgmon, Sec.
 A. A. Backus, s. D.
 Rule Kenner, J. D.
 John Lane, Tyler.
 By placing the gavel in the hands of MT. Shaffer, the lodge has seen proper to recognize one of it's most tireless and efficient workers. As soon as MT. Shaffer became member of the lodge by utilization some two years ago, he began to talk loud and long concerning the need of a new hall, one that would reflect credit not only upon the order but also upon the pro- gressive spirit of the town, and no small amount of the credit for the present very prosperous condlti n of the lodge and the building of an elegant hall is due directly to his energy. MT. Shaffer is a Booster in everything he goes at, and if the lodge doesn't continue its unprecedent- ed era of prosperity under his admin stration, it will surely be no fault of his.
 It would be manifestly unjust, how ever, not to make mention in this con- nection of the arduous and efficient work of A. B. Grim, the Master jus t retired, who has labored so hard during the past year, he having been present and officiating at every meeting in the conferring of more than score of degrees, and whose unselfshness has led him to give public credit to the individual members of the. lodge rather claim anything for himself for the prosperous condition of the lodge. Recently the District Deputy Grand Master visited the lodge here and stated enthusiastically that the Green Forest lodge is doing the best work of any lodge in his district.
 In view of the fact that the lodge is now seemingly entering upon new epoch, it may be of some interest to the general public to know something of the history of the institution.
 The date of the charter was Oct. 29, 1882, which document was destroyed by fire when the hall was burned in 1886, being re-issued May 25, 1886.
 The following names appear on the records as charter members: Thomp- son Ramsey, J. J. Grim, D. H. Smith, w. E., Graham, w. H. Bunch, J. l.. Graham, J. A. Winning, w. P. Kirby, J. P. Fondren, w. F. Jones, K. D.. Cottrell, J. P. Harbert, J. E. Harbert, w. M. Ward, I. w. Wann, J. A. White, J. H. Norris, Martin McNiel, J. J. Dixon, Joseph Tanning.
 Only three of these men are now living, none of whom are now members of this lodge.

interior of the country, ii would be
much safer from attack and possible
capture by an enemy in time of war
than would site on or near either
coast.
Fourth, should coal be needed. there
is a great abundance of excellent coal
being mined almost at the very door
of Rock Island, and it is at the same
time convenient to the ore fields of the
north.
Fifth. by utilizing a part of the 500

Sixth. the advantages of Rock Island
as a manufacturing center, as demon
strated by the fact that at the Rock
Island arsenal shops the government
is now manufacturing rifles. field-ar-
tillery gun carriages, and other war
equipment, at from 20 to 80 per cent
below the prices of private manufactu--
rers. For instance, three inch cas-
sions, consisting of wagon for CARRYING
ammunition chests are being produced
at Rock Island for S1,0S1 as against a
cost of s1.70S when purchased from
private manufacturers; three inch gun
carriages proper-the vehicle on which
the gun rests and from which it is
fired-are heing produced for s2,341
as against the private manufacturers
price of S3.26S, and so forth

turing center, being within two miles

sideration in such an Industrial enter

I have frequently been importuned
by the navy league of the United
States, an organization that has been
charged with being supported by those
who would profit financially from a big
navy policy, to support big navy bills
in congress. AS this is a subject 1 am
much interested in I took the trouble
to write to the league, giving my views
on its propaganda.
House of Representatives,
Washington, d. c., Jan. 16, 1914.
Mr.. A. II. Dadmun,
Secretary the Navy League of
United States,
Southern Building, Washington.
My Dear Mr.. Dadmun: l beg to
acknowledge receipt of your letter of
the 18th instant, together with in
closures as to why powerful navy is
needed.
Assuming that you are in good faith
in this agitation and really desire the

three companies alluded 10 were the
only ones in this country that could
do the work. and therefore to bid
against each other would be simply to
bring down the price. especially since
1t was the custom OF the navy to d.
vide its work between the three firms.
On November 13 / introduced House
resolution 900, which is now before the
Military Affairs committee and which
provides that
Whereas the secretary of the navy
recommends a government armor-plate
factory at cost OF approximately
SIOOO,OOO TO take the manufacture of
armor plate out of the hands of a
ring OF private Manufacturers who have
Tor years been outrageously overcharg-
ing the government while at the same
time paying low wages and imposing
unfair conditions upon its employees:
and
Whereas the secretary of the navy
has publicly advocated that any and
all the cities believing they have sat
isfactory sites for the proposed armor
plant should urge consideration by the
government of the alleged advantages
or such respective sites. to the end
that the government may ultimately
purchase one of the sites for the pur-
pose OF erecting the government ar
mor-plate factory thereon; and
Whereas the government already
owns 500 acres of land at the Rock
Island arsenal. Rock Island, Ill, every
acre of which is especially adaptable
to use for manufacturing purposes:
Therefore be II
Resolved. that the secretary of the
navy be, and he is hereby directed to
investigate and carefully consider the
advantages of the Rock Island arsenal
military tract as a site for the pro-
posed government armor- plate factory
and report his conclusions on sare to
the house OF representative before de-
Gliding upon any other Site
The resolution further provides that
is making this investigation of the
suitability of Rock Island as a site for
the proposed armor plant especial con-
sideration be given the following par
ticular advantages:
First, everlasting free water power
possibilities, the government owning
it's own plant in the Mississippi river.
Second, its central location geo.
graphically. making it convenient to
ship the finished product to either the
Pacific, Atlantic or Gulf coast with
economy in both time and transporta-
ton costs.
Third, it's strategic location from

largest possible navy for particular
reasons, 1 am going to take the liberty
of suggesting to you that if you will
inaururste a movement for the govern
ment manufacture of all munitions of
war, including all battleships, your
campaign will strike a much more re-
sponsive chord in both members of
congress and the people.
In other words, if the government is
to do all of the manufacturing of mu-
nitions of war, including battleships,
the point cannot then be successfully
raised that the agitation is for the
benefit of the armor ring, the ammu-
milton ring, and the shipbuilding trust.
But if you do not advocate the gov
ernmt ut manufacture of all munitions
of war, including battleships, you can
not successfully deny that you are car
rying on a propaganda which means
millions and millions of dollars Of ex-
tortionate profits to the above-men-
toned interests. 1 base this assump-
ton on the fact that the government
is paying private manufacturers all
the way from 20 to 20 per cent more
for munitions of war than the govern
ment can itself manufacture these ar
ticles for in the government arsenals
and navy yards.
Very respectfully submitted,
CLYDE H. TAVENNER.
Not only have the armor ring and
the ammunition ring overcharged the
government, but they have cheated
the government by "doctoring" defec-
tive armor plates, guns, and gun forg-
ings. If manufacturers from which
private concerns obtain their supplies
should perpetrate frauds upon them
such as the armor ring has perpetrat-
ed upon the government, private con-
Germs would withdraw their patron
age from such manufacturers and have
no further dealings with them. But
the fact that the government was i'm
posed upon does not seem to have in
the least prejudiced the friendly army
and navy officers against the armor
ring.
Representative Rainey of Illinois,
who has made a very thorough study
of the depredations OF the armor ring,
threw the spotlight upon its activi-
ties in a speech delivered in the Sixty
first congress. In part Mr.. Rainey
said:
'In 1894 we had an investigation in
to the frauds perpetrated upon this
government by Mr.. Carnegie's COM
pany. can not be charged with I'M
fairness if l simply call attention to
those frauds perpetrated by Mr. Car
negie's company, which were admitted
by his representatives, some OF whom
are now among the 43 Carnegie-made
miIlionaires. The document which
contains all this evidence is House of
Representatives report No. 1858, Fifty
third congress. second session.
&C. NJ Schwab. who was at that
time a stakeholder in the Carnegie
company, and who was the superin-
tendent OF the company. and who is
now the president of the Bethlehem
Steel company. admitted that armor
plates manufactured by the. Carnegie
company did not receive the "uni-
form" treatment required by the con-
tract of the company with the gov
