From the Russellville Courier Dem

ing account of an experiment in build
ing macadam roads in rural town.
ship of Pope county. 1t only proves
what the Log Cabin Democrat has
been contending, that the cost of
such roads ought not to be excessive
and that the city of Conway can
easily afford to build at least Is miles
of macadam streets if the proposition
is properly handled. The Courier
Democrats story follows:
era Canerday, road overseer OF
Jackson township, is just completing
one-fourth mile of the best read in
Pope county, and as he has kept an
itemized account of the cost of same,
it should prove of interest to other
road builders.
"Mr. Canerday first graded his
road to the proper width and height
and then hauled rock and crushed it
with stone hammers. He put the
rock on the roadbed to a thickness
Of eight inches, then three inches of
dirt, and then a covering of four
inches of gravel spread over the top.

STATUS OF THE GOING ACT.

The episode of the recent opinion
written but not handed down, by the
attorney general that the Going anti
liquor act is unconstitutional, has
caused revival Of the idea that the
opinion of the attorney general is
''the law of the land until reversed by
the supreme court"
The attorney general has the right
to express a belief as to whether any
measure is constitutional or unconsti-
tutional, and it is made his duty to dc
so, when called upon by the head of
any executive department of the state
or any prosecuting attorney. But his
opinion is not the law and is not even
binding upon the official to whom he
renders it. 1t is not greatly different
from the advice which merchant OF
banker seeks from the attorney he has
regularly retained. The lawyer will
give his opinion as to what the law is
in given case, but the client is in nc
way bound to act upon or to follow his
attorneys advice.
The courts alone can determine the
constitutionality of an act passed by
the legislature, the supreme court
having final jurisdiction except where
federal question is involved. And g
court cannot decide whether a Grim
inal law is constitutional until some
one has brought case before it il
which the constitutionality of the law
is attacked.
No court has yet passed upon the
question as to whether the Going act
is constitutional. The supreme court
only a few weeks ago decided that the
act was not subject to referendum
vote because it bore the emergency
clause" although the act itself stipu
lated that it should not become effec
tive until about seven months aftel
its passage.

Loans of Money to Belligerents

.DRESIDENr WILSON'S reiteration Of the
administrators stand on the subject of
loans by American banks or individuals to
European nations now at war is as difficult
to understand as the first statement of that
position. The government makes no effort
to prevent the sale Of merchandise to the
bellgerents, even though it be contraband,
and subject to seizure by the enemies Of
the nation to which 1t is consigned. No rea-
son is apparent why an exception should be
made in the case OF money.
or course, the President confesses, this
government has no legal right to forbid its
citizens TO lend money to France or Germany.
The administration insists, however, that
loans of money are not "in the spirit of true
neutrality" and frowns on the practice
II one Of the powers now at war seeks a
loan i'll this country, it is not for the purpose
of deposting gold in its treasure vaults. Tho
days of boarding vanished with the declara-
ton of war; these are the days OF spending.
1t is unlikely even that tho borrower would
have any use for actual cash. 1t would seek
rather the establishment in this country of
credits on which it might draw for purchases
of those articles nation at war vitality
requires--arms and munitions, for example,
and clothing and food.
TO a banker money and credit are COM
modties in which he deals Just as mer-
chant of another sort deals in flour or silks
more so than rifles and cartridges Why
should the banker be condemned If lie sell
his credit to a belligerent, when the ammuni-
ton factory is not nterfered with or even
frowned OH in the sale OF its wares?
The United States owes billions of dollars
to the nations now at war. One OF the
dangers of the existing financial situation is
that Europe will require the liquidation of
this enormous Indebtedness, and so make
further weakening demands on our supplies
of gold The recent $4,000, 900 gold pool
was raised for the purpose Of convincing
Europe that the United States was in posi-
ton to meet its obligations. and, by inspiring
confidence abroad, decrease the number and
amount of demands for liquidation.
Loans to belligerents would have an even
more healthy effect on this situat ton, because
they would mean the purchase Of American
commodities and the payment to that extent
OF the debts now owe Europe. They are
not condemned by international law nor for
hidden by any treaty to which this country is
party. Why shouldn't they he made, if
financial interests have the cash and the
desire to take chance?
