Figures on Prison Labor
Mr.. Williams was aeked regarding
the success Of prison labor upon the
roads OF the state. He said that as
yet II is largely a matter of expert
mept. as the past year was the first
three gangs were hired out. one
thing Is certain. he said. which is that
20 cents per man per day. the price
paid by the counties for the labor OF
the prisoners, is too low, and by ac-
cepting 1t the State has lost money
However. he added. had the prison
camps been maintained for a longer
period. the proportionate loss would
nave been much smaller. as the over
head charges would have been greatly
reduced and the original cost OF
equipment which was charged against
the labor, would remain the same. so
that the longer the camps were main
tanned, the smaller would be the loss
per man per day.
IN hiring the prisoners out TO the
different counties. the State agrees TO
furnish the equipment as we'll as
guard the prisoners.

pensions we have, the more money we take from the laborer, the producer, and give to the non-producer.
 We have been looking for years for a popular revolt against the increase in govern ment expenses. It is going to come some time, and the sooner it comes the better. It is possi- ble to get greater efficiency from government machinery reduced to one-half of it's proportions and from an office-holding class reduced one-half in number. l But this reduction will never come as long as the representa- tives of the farmers, in Wash ington and in the State capitals, consent to big appropriations generally, induced to give that consent through appropriations for agricultural interests of one kind and another.
 But, as we have said else where, no one proposed pen sion for the superannuated far mer. Soon every man who works will have an ofice-holder or pensioner on his back.-Far1n and Home.

Our Extrayagant Government.


 One reason that the farmers and the laboring men and the great part of the American peo- pie make only slow progress is that the official class, the govern ing class, the governing machin- cry, the mechanism of city, county, State and Federal gov ernment are multiplying enor- mously, and are taking every year very much larger propor- tion of the savings of the frugal, private citizen in town and country than ever before.
 Men talk about pensioning soldiers and officeholders and teachers and mothers and wi dows and old men and old wo- men as though they could dip their hand into an ocean of money and take out enough to pay the pensions without any body being the worse for it.

WHITE WAY WILL BE CREDIT
To City For One Block Of Busi- ness Section On Hazel Was
 Lighted Monday.

The White Way" for New port is to give Newport's busi- ness section a blaze of soft white light, that will swell her citizens with pride and create an equally favorable impression upon the visitor within her portals. The full meaning and beauty of the White Way" has never been realized by our people, but they were given a foretaste of the fu- ture Newport Monday evening, when the business block on Ha- gel street between First and Se- cond was beautifully illuminated with the concrete stand lights, that are soon to comprise nine blocks of our business district.
 The massive concrete stands are arranged four to the block, and on both sides of the street on Hazel and Walnut. From each stand are hung four 32 can dle power lights from cross arms of concrete and above the stand in the center is fifth light, all of these lights being encased in clouded globes 12 and IA inches in diameter.
 The electric company has spared no expense to beautifully equip the service and made the citizens and business men a con- tract that manifested their loy- al public spirit and confidence in Newport.
 The Iron Mountain railroad is to be asked to provide a light service in keeping with the street about the Walnut street depot and along this portion of their property.
 The company expects to have everything installed for com plete service Friday evening and the suggestion everywhere meets with approval that fitting exercises and a celebration of Newport's biggest acquisition be held Friday evening when the button may be touched to bring the whole white way" into ser vice.
 The lighting of one block brought forth many of our citi- zens and all expressed pleasure and gratifigcation in our "white way" Messrs. Hamel and Cross land of the electric company were the recipients of much compliment for the pleasing re- suits of the white way"

 Cleveland, Ohio, Aug. 4.-The greatest wet and dry cam paign ever staged in Ohio began in earnest today when the ''dry'' forces filed at the office of the secretary of state proposed constitutional amendment aboj ishing the present county local option law, and establishing the township and municipality as the unit in future liquor legisla- tion.
 Lines are closely drawn and each side will put forth every effort in the fight for it's life. The anti-saloon league has been at work throwing out it's forces in every village in the state, and it's chief opponents, divisions of the personal liberty league, have taxed every resource to stem the tide of temperance n Ohio.

Pledges Not Regarded Neces Sary.

 Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Aug. 4.-There has been a great deal of com ment throughout the state for several days on account of the discovery made by some one that the Corrupt Practices act of 1913 applies to general as well as to primary elections. If this be true, it would require all nominees for state, district and county offices to file their pled- ges, but it is generally consid- cred unnecessary.
 ''I do not think the act was intended to apply to general e. lections', said Attorney Gener- al Moose, who himself had filled out a pledge when a number of other state officials were doing so. Tt refers only to primary elections, until the thirteenth section, when it says that it shall apply also to general and special elections. I believe it was in- tended that that should mean general and special primary e. lections, and not the biennial e. lection held in September"
