A Comprehensive Setting
Out of ''Big Business

The Socialist lecture advertised FOR
the opera house last Monday evening
was for some reason given from an
automobile on Steele avenue. Aside
from those who happened to be on the
street at the time, and perhaps dozen
more who chanccd along, the audi
ence did not exceed fifty people, all
told
The speaker started out with a ring.
ing disclaimer of the largely ccepted
idea that Socialism means "dividing
up 1t means simply the co-orcra-
tive ownership of public utilities and
an equitable distribution of their ben
efits. 1t means that government the
peoplc-shall control the output OF
everything that enters into the COM
/ fort. welfure and even pleasure, OF
the masses, and that they shall be fur
nished at cost of production.
The speaker declared that watercd
stock was the greatest factor in the
high cost OF living, and proceeded to
define the term by citing the case Of
the formation of the United States
Steel Corporation, of which Andrew
Carnegie is the largest stOckholder
and beneficiary. AT the time OF the
forming of this trust Carnegie's plant
was valued at 1925, 200, 900, but before
Charles M. Schwab could get him to
agree to the combine they were forced
to pay $500, 900, ,000-or S275, 900, 900
more than it was worth and which
enormous sum is purely water and
has no value in fact but upon which
every person in this country assists in
paying the annual interest OF six per
cent: and has been doing SO regularly
for twelve years past. The total cap
italization of this combine is given as
$500 900, 900, more than thrce-fourths
OF which is purely fictitious.
The speaker gave many apt illustra-
tions of the workings of "big busi-
ness" and its effect upon tho produc-
ing classes.
There are in this country 300 busi-
ness combinations of one kind or an
other, and in many cases they control
not only the output of their particular
line, but also the machinery OF manu-
facture and the sources of raw mater.
ial, and in the things they make arc
absolute dictators OF the selling price,
which in every case is made to in
clude profit on fictitious capitaliza
tion.
Taken altogether, the talk was phi
losophical and comprehensive, ane
such an one as the small business man
the farmer and the day laberer, who
every year, struggle as they may, are
finding it more and more difficult tt
make ends meet, could accept witt
profit 1t was good politics, and il
bound by it's truthfulness to max
: everywhere.

Catchine Them For Decorative Pvr-

In Japan there Is followed the pretty
custom Of employing in garden parties
and In various other social functions
the native ~flretlies for purposes of dec
0rative illumination. In some
these tiny creatures are disposed about
in cages; sometimes they are released
In swarms in the presence Of guests.
To meet the demand for arefies thus
used it follows that there must be some
systematic method OF efecting their
capture In sufficient quantities. There
are q number Of concerns in the Japa-
nese cities that employ men to catch
the 6refies. These hunters proceed
about their task in this way:
The start is made at sunset, and the
hunter takes with him u long bamboo
pole and a bag Of mosquito netting.
When a suitable growth Of willows

ready his net and strikes the branches.

This Jars them to the ground, where
they may easily be gathered If n
proceed about the job quickly before
they have had time to ecove and fy
away.
The skilled hunter, sparing no time
to put them at nee into his bag, uses
both hands to pick them up. and he
losses them lightly into his apron.
where he holds them unframed until
it can contain no more. Then he trans.
fers them to his bag.
This work proceeds until about z
o'clock in the morning. at which hour
the insects are beginning to leave the
trees for the dewy soil. Then the
hunter changes his tactics. He brushes
the surface of the ground with a light
broom to startle the insects into flight.

ISSUED FOR RE-
 TURN OF J. J. STARLING

Little Rock, Nov 20.-That the county officials are again active in the prosecution of those suspected of com hitting the robbery on the bank at Dardanelle two years ago, was made evident Thursday afternoon when a acquisition was issued on the Governor of Oklahoma for the delivery of J J. Startling to w T. Cavaness, a Yell county official.
 Startling was once before charged with complicity in this crime. He is now under arrest at Guthrie, and will be brought back to Arkansas to an- swer charge of burglary and grand larceny unless he is successful in a fight to prevent eXtradition.

DESIRE TO BE
 PLACED IN CLASS 4.
Helena X Southwestern and Warren X Ouachita Railroads Will be Among Class A and Charge
 2 Cents Per Mile.

Little Rock, Nov. 20.-It is an unu- sual thing for person or corporation to ask for the right to give away mon ey, yet this is exactly what the Hele ma x Southwestern and Warren & Ouachita Valley railroads have peti- toned the Arkansas Railroad Com mission that they be permitted to do.
 The Arkansas Railroad Commission several months ago announced that it would reclasify all railroads of Ark ansas, and stipulate a traiff to be charged by these companies. It was made plain to the railroads that the main lines would be placed in Class A, and that they would be permitted to charge for passenger and freight ser vice according to the tariff which was promulgated several years ago, but which the railroads unsuccessfully fought in the Federal Court. This class will be required to carry passen- gers at the rate of two cents per mile. The Class B railroads, as well as Class c, will be permitted to charge three cents per mile and the lower class may charge higher freight rate than Class B.
 It was supposed that the small rail roads would send in a request to be placed in Class c, which permits them greater revenue. Instead, the first of the smaller lines to report, the Helena & Southwestern, asks to be placed in Class A. This road is but three miles in length, but under it's charter it may some day extend over distance of 20 miles. The Warren x Ouachita Valley, short line connecting War ren and Banks, also desires to be con- sidered a first class railroad, and ex- presses willingness to be subject to Class A rules.
 The Arkansas Railroad Commission on Friday will take up the classified tion of 35 of the small lines of the state, and if they follow the course adopted by the two first lines report ing, there will be no Class c. railroads in Arkansas.

STATE VETERINARIAN IS
 CALLED TO EAST ARK ANSAS

State Veterinarian R. G. Cow, has been called from Hot Springs, where he was in charge of an exhibit from the University of Arkansas, to east Arkansas to determine the cause of an epidemic which is killing many cattle in the vicinity of Hickory Ridge, and do something to save the remaining cattle of that section. Love Banks of Memphis has appealed to the De- partment of Agriculture for assis- tance before all of the cattle dies. His message states that the cattle suddenly become i'll and die without symptoms of any malady known to the old stock growers of that sec tion. Several hundred cattle have al ready died. Dr. Cow states that the symptoms are not those of the hoof and mouth disease.

HAVE RETURNED FROM MA
 TIONAL GOOD ROADS MEET
Commissioners Highfill and Kilgore. and Engineer Hugh R Carter. Were Guests of Georgia Of
 ticials for Auto Rides.

Commissioners Highfill and Kilgore of the Arkansas Highway Commission and Engineer Hugh R. Carter. have returned from Atlanta, Ga., where they attended the national good roads meeting, and came back full of ideas regarding the use ofpstate convicts on the roads of Arkansas.
 The commissioners and the engineer were the guests of Georgia officials for automobile drives over miles of the roads about Atlanta, all of which were tui)t by state cctvictS under a special law Most of the roads were macadam, a considerable portion of those recently built are of concrete. Where rock is not available, the roads have been graded and kept surfaced, and are as good for light travel as are the permanent ones.
 The State Highway Commission will now work on some sort of a law that will permit the use of Arkansas con- victs on the roads, but there are so many laws at present which inter- fere, that it will take from now until the legislative session to work out something that will stand the test. 1 It is the desire of Commissioner w. | B. Owen, to work out law which will permit the use of both state and county convicts, and to work them in all counties so that there will be bikes in all directions, but this is a stupen- dous undertaking, for many of the counties now have no funds to build permanent roads, and the state has nothing with which to assist them. In many counties there is no rock, anc they are also without funds, so l if they are assisted it will be at the expense of other sections of Arkansas.
 It is the desire of Commissioner Owen to work out a plan that will permit permanent highway to be constructed across the state in all di- rections, touching as many counties as possible, for he believes the object lesson will arouse all sections of the counties, and make it easy to secure good roads legislation in the future.

 Legislature to Pass Act

Little Rock, Nov. 20.-An arbitra- tion board to settle disputes between employer and emplye, will be recom- mended by State Labor Commissioner J. c. Clary in his biennial report. He has asked the legislature to pass such an act, giving the employer and employe the right to select one ar bitter each, when in dispute, and per init these two to select the third.
 Commissioner Clary will also ask the incoming legislature to pass bill recommended by the Federation of Labor for a minimum wage for wo- men, and shorter hours for them. In addition to this he will ask for law requiring all coal mining companies to erect and maintain wash houses for the employees in the vicinity of all mines. Commissioner Ciary states that he is not going to burden the legislature with bills. and in this man. ner he expects to get all that he asks for.

STATE TREASURES OFFICE
 EXPERIENCING DULL SEASON

About as good an example of the simple life as is to be found in Ark ansas, may be seen any day at the office of the State Treasurer. If there is dull season at any time in this department of State, that time has now arrived. The daily receipts of this department, from all sources, now average about $25 daily, and the disbursements from the general Re venue fund are indeed very light for there is nothing from which to pay warrants drawn on that fund There is considerable cash in the Confed- crate pension, state Capital and oth- CT funds, and small payments are made from them daily but those who hold General Revenue warrants are not so fortunate.
