expected soon to meet and prepare
Tor a short summer campaign, which
will place the matter personally be
fore every citizen of the state, allow,
ing HIM to give his mite; and if all
do this, 1t will take but few weeks
to close the campaign.
About the last resort for the
liquor interests in Arkansas is now
to secure repeal of the Gong law,
aud prevent the passage OF any act
by the legislature In the future
which will make a change IN the
local option system. The decision
OF the supreme court on the Going
bill all the more clearly defines the
liquor traffic as a privilege, and
wholly within the police regulations
OF a state. This means that the
state can make any kind Of laws, no
matter how drastic. or seemingly
unfair, governing It's sale, without
q defense for the saloons.

court. instead of the 1000 tax pay
ers who have mortgAged their homes
to pay their bridge taxes. lie
states that the first bill presented TO
the legislature, drawn by two hon
est men OF the district, vas replaced
with one which was written by the
attorney Of the traction company,
and later the attorney for the com
mission also. Nakdnnen insists that
the legislature was imposed upon,
and the taxpayers were treated un-
Justly by wording which permit
ted the commission to raise a tech
meal point, shouldrlng blame from
the traction company to the improve
ment district. This change per-
mitted the commission to ignore the
right to charge the traction comPa-
ny for crossing the bridge and TO
lay the blame on the Improvement
district law.
One of Nakdimen's strong points
is that the law would not permit the
commissioners to provide an extra
Expenditure. yet il has been shown
that the bridge was especially con
struoted so as TO care for the trac-
tion business, il costing between
1900, 90 aud $4,000 more to make
other than a HIGHWAY bridge Max
dimen Charge that the commission
Ideciiued 10 .enler,4in p'cro'"''''
lfeom the steam railroad TO cross
the bridge, their propositions
being received, but never CON
.i6ered. He AYERS that the bridge
was purposely not constructed so
steam railroads could use 1t, prin
cipally by lts location. He asserts
that the bonds were unlawfully sold
below par through a $4,000 dis
l count which was explained as at
. torney and other fees, when spe
cific item provided for the ATTORNEY
fees.
Mr.. Nakdimen charges that th'
entire plan seems to have been hatch
ed so tha. the citizens would build
bridge for the street car compan
u and that the citizens have bee
ldouble-crossed. He calls attentio

Water is continually pumped ON the
rice fields, after the rice has attained

not drained until the rice is about

are fertile breeding ground for the

THE COMMERCIAL CLUB.

Frank E. Lane, general secretary
of the GAINESVILLE Commercial club,
in a letter TO S. w. Howard, of this
city, said: " 'Everybody's business
is nobody's business applies more
appropriately to the development of
city than almost anything else.
''As you are aware, the old meth
cd is everyone for himself and the
devil for us adj, but times are fast
changing and the day of individual
effort has gone and l hope never to
return. Today all efforts are unit
ed efforts and in order to accom-
plish anything worth while for a com
munity, action must be concerted.
After all has been said and done,
your interests and my interests are
one; if it is good for you, it is al
so good for me. A live organization
in any community will do more to
allay petty differences, which gen.
orally exist, than can be accomplish
ed through any other medium 1t is
the greatest creator of that get to-
gether spirit. The opinions of men
in different lines of business may
be widely separated, but when it
comes to a matter for the good of
Grand Rapids You should all be for
Grand Rapids first, last and always.
Il do not wish to burden you with
the accomplishments of this associa-
ton, but l do want to tell you that
we have accomplished much for the
good of our city and you can through
your association do the same for
Grand Rapids"
If other cities can be improved
through a business mems association,
so can Grand Rapids. The whole
thing summed up is this, are We or
are We not as live and progressive
as the people of other cities? The
answer will be heard tonight at the
Elks club rooms.

GETTING NEW INDUSTRIES

There is intense competitor be-
tween cities and towns to secure
new industries. Whereas formerly
| many large towns had no boards Of
trade, now these organizations are
| common even in small villages. Their
first and foremost activity is the
effort to land new manufacturing pro
positions.
No sooner does a corporation ex-
press a desire for a new location,
than it is deluged with all sorts of
gift propositions, free rents, remis--
sion of taxes, etc. Some of the con
Germs looking for such fayors are
mere drifters and beats who stay in
place a year or two and then move
on.
Many boards of trade compass dis
| tant states to land new enterprises
and then overlook chances in their
own city. There are probably enter
prising young fellows in our own
town who would be perfectly cap
able OF conducting profitable manu-
| featuring enterprises if they had C<p-
iItaI. At the same time our business
men are sending money away be
| cause they know Of no chances to in
! vest faYOrably at home This capital
and this enterprise should be brought
together. The plant fathered by home
enterprise should be brought togeth-
er. The plant fathered by home en-
terprise and capital is most likely
| to be permanent.
Getting new factories is mostly a
case of persistent search. Ninety
nine tips may prove hopeless, but the
hundredth may be genuine. If all pos
| slble chances are investigated some
day there will come a real opportu-
nifty that can be landed.
| This kind of work calls principally
| for persistent letter writing Ev-
cry report of a business seeking a
new home should be followed up,
and then a good deal of investigation
may be required. But this work can
be done largely by a stenographer
and postage stamps are not costly.
| The securing of a new industry
brings such positive results of pros
| perity, that this effort ought to be
persistentIy carried on here, and
the small expense of it should be
easily met.

THE ADVANCE IN FOOD PRICES.


With the possible slightly possible
exception of sugar. there is no legi-
innate reason for a rise in the price
of native foodstuffs at this time On
the contrary, such prices should go
down.
The situation created by the war
is thus tersely and correctly put by
the commercial editor of the Chica-
go Examiner:
Wheat, corn, in fact all cereals,
are pilling up in ware houses, most
of them awaiting transportation fac
ilities to Europe The process of ex-
portation will be slow necessarily.
Meanwhile all commodities from
which edibles are made are more a
bundant than ever and, instead of
being dear, should become cheaper
especially flour. The largest potato
crop in the history of the country
is estimated by the government
Importations from Europe of food
have been few in variety and most
all of luxurious character. They are
as dispenSable as is champagne. Prac-
tically the only necessities are rice
and tea, and these come from the
Orient via the Pacific coast, and
are not endangered transportation
wise by the war
Not only is America Well supplied
with the major commodities but Ar
gentina and Brazilian docks and stor-
ages are filled with grains and cat
to Europe
