 One important section of the law is that which provides for heavy fine for violations.
 sThe Public has A Right to Know"
 This is the slogan of the friends of Act No. 3.
 Act No. 8 is popularly known as the Publicity Act. It will expose public finances and pub lie business to the light. It is a sensible, straightforward and business-like measure that will save Arkansas people mon- ey.
 The Independent will publish installments, short and to the point, an explanation and ex- position of the publicity law, which will be voted upon by the people in the September elec- tion.
 The following explanation of the act is authoritative. It is from the pen of one of the leading lawyers of Arkansas:
 Section. l. Section provides that all amendments to the constitution and measures sub mitted to the people at any regu- lar general election shall be published for twenty days. The law now requires the publica- tion to be made for thirty days. It is thought by those who have given the matter careful atten- ton that twenty days would be sufficient and this change will Considerably reduce the ex- pense of the publication.
