Rural Voters Not Antaqonistic.

Many rural voters have the idea that since municipalities only are affected the votes are not needed from those who do not live in cities or towns Such is not the case If such voters do not vote on the amendment at all. in effect their votes will be counted against the amendment It is neces- e.ry to carry the amendment by ma t,rlty of all of the votes cast at the c.aCtion. Therefore, if a voter for any Aason, casts ballot at the election. and fails to vote on the amendment, u vote will be ccunted against the anendment. Although the matter aly not directly concern tho rural 'oter. and his property will not be at- 1ected one way or another if bonds should he issued by the cities and towns. yet the people of the cities and towns, who are the ones directly af- footed. do want the amendment pass cd Therefore. the rural VI iould he willing to vote for the amendment. iastead Of against it. or instead Of passine althogether item No II on the ballot

Carried in 1912.

Some persons may think that the bond amendment which was proposed two years ago failed before the peo- ple. It did not fail, in fact it was car sted by a majority of 23,000 of the votes cast on the subject. but 1t was later rendered imperative by a de ctsion of the Supreme Court, which declared that not more than three amendments could be submitted at one time, Inasmuch as the Bond Amend. meat of 1912 was the fifth amend. ment proposed before the people, in point of time of filing. that amend nent was one yof the two which were rendered imperative. In the present instance. proposed Amendment No. 1l was tho first amendment initiated and flied. and No. IA win have the first p'ace on the ticket in consequence.

 some have confused Amendment No. IA, to be submitted at the Septem- per election. with the amendment Fhich was voted on two years ago. and charge against the present amend ment some ai.Eyed defects of the 1912 measure. The amendment now pro posed, Is, IT the minds of it's friends mSlch stronger measure than the other one. The safeguards are strong or, the restriction about the issuing Df bonds are more severe. and at the d Lme time, the measure is one that is lsed on the best bond laws of the other states of the Union. When the present amendment was devised, tt vas done at a two days conference If some of the best lawyers in the state At the meeting were also about forty mayors and other city officials, and the intention Of the meeting was to draft an amendment which, when proposed before the people, would ap- peal to the pcoale's sense of fairness, because ot the iustness and fairness of all its terms The friends of the present amendment believe that all these things can be properly claimed for it.

Water Works and Lighting Plan.
 Bonds

A strong demand was made by the officials of the smaller towns in Ar kansas for some provision that would enable the citizens of such towns to obtain water supply and lighting plants even if necessary to mortgage such plants as an additional security to the n2cds such demand was met by a rrov,sion in Amendment No. "a which authorized bonds for these purposes If voted by the people. The provision that such bonds need not be retired within thirty-tive years and that such bonds be not included in the compute ion of the amount of other bonded in lehtedness is further strengthened by a provision to the effect that as addi tional security of said additional bonds a mortgage or other lien shall he given by said municipality on such water works or lighting plant, including it's franchise and all property connected herewith

Lower Pat.s of Interest


 Arkansas cities and towns, under preSent arrangements, are forced to pay high rates of interest for funds to carry on public improvements. Under the terms of proposed Amendment No 1f mo bonds or other interest hearing evidences of indebtedness is. sded under the authority of this amendment shall ever be sold at less than par, and when issued by cities of the first class they shall not bear greater rate of interest than five per cent per annum, and when issued by cities of the second class and by in, corpoyated towns of 1000 or more population. shall not bear a greater rate of interest than six cent per an nun" It is a we'll known fact that many cities and towns in Arkansas have been forced to pay not five per cent. or six per cent hut eight per cent per annum, and more. for short time accommodations. The alternative has been placed before the officials Of such cities and towns, either to pay such rates of interest or to permit much needed public improvements of q general character to fail for lack of assistance by the cities.

# the Case Should be Reversed.

If the farmers and others who live outside the limits Of tho cities and towns of the state should organize themselves, and ask all the voters of tue state to pass some certain pro posed measure. and if it did not di. rectly affect the people of the cities aud towns. and If the vote of the peo- ple of the cities and towns was abso- sitely necessary in order to carry the proposed measure, 1t would seem only fair and just that the voters of the cities and towns should give their support at the polls to the measure advocated by the rural voters.

themselves on the outside doing their
best to live in the open country or
in such villages as they may occupy.
They will be able to attack only after
dragging guns and material many
miles YER frozen ground and through

The burning of Moscow will be re-
peated q hundred times on smaller

abandon they will, If possible, destroy
that it may render no service to their
enemies. Retiring, If they must, as
winter descends upon the campaign,
the Germans will strip the country of

housing for the invaders. Russia not

to house an army of millions on the
windswept and bitter cold Prussian
plains but will have to bring up the
wretched roads and %bridgeless streams.

Army Dogs.

From the American Boy.
In Germany the dog has his place as
q part of h nations regular fighting
force. There is a regular dog corps for
carefully trained to their duties.
Most of the dog corps are composed
entirely Of Spitzes or Pomeranians and
these are mostly white in color. OF
course, q gray dog has q better chance
OF escaping detection In h field than
a white one but the white dogs are
gray enough after they have been on
Is equipped with a metal collar and q
pouch for letters. He is never tied up
and IL never led by q chain or rope.
The dogs are given a peculiar, but re-
markably thorough and p~ainstaking
education. First the dog Is taught to
distinguish between the uniforms Of
the Germans and those of foreign coun-
tries. He is then taught the uniforms
OF he officers of the German army.
After he has mastered the uniforms Of
the various armies, he Is given some
drills In scout duty. being taught to tell
his master OF the approach of an enc
my or friend.
The army dog is also taught to deliv-
or letters. The letters are placed In his
pouch n he is trained to run from
pest to post with them. He 10 taught
to know many other posts besides his
own. to recognize them by name, to
take q pouch of letters to any post .des-
ignated, to deliver them to an officer,
to wait for a reply and to return to his
own post. The soldier dog also looks
after the wounded. He ID trained tt
ter to them, and to tell his superior of
flceTU OF his discovery. When the dog
education 10 completed he 10 assigned t.
regiment.
