Date of General Election.

There seems to be some confusion in certain quarters about the date of the general election. Sevier county, for instance, has issued a proclamation calling the election for Monday, Sep tember '. This is in accordance with section 2762 of Kirby's Digest, act of January, 1875, which provides that the general election shall be held on the first Monday in September This was amended by the act of March 8, 1907 to read the second Monday in Septem. Der, which this year falls on the 14th.

TWO PROPOSED
 ACTS ENDOWED BANK GUARANTY AND MINING BOARD ARE NOT TO BE
 VOTED ON.
ONLY ELECTORS CAN SIGN
Appeal Taken to Supreme Court Amendment to the l. & R. Amend
 ment Has Been Suggested.
Western Newspaper Union News Service

Little Rock
 Only three amendments and two pro posed acts will be submitted to the voters at the September election, the secretary of state having been enjoined by Pulaski Chancery Court from certi- flying out the Bank Depositors' Guaran- ty Act and the State Mining Board Act The measures to be submitted are:
 Act No. 1-Child Labor Law.
 Act No. 3-Publicity Law.
 Amendment No. 14-Municipal Bonds.
 Amendment No. 15-LegisIative Salary.
 Amendment No. 16-Lieutenant Coy, ernor
 Leaders of the Arkansas Federation of Labor have appealed the Bank Guaranty and Miners Qualification acts, enjoined by Chancellor Martin eau, to the Supreme Court. It will be too late to get action upon them in time to include the measures in the September election, even should the lower court be reversed. but the Fed eration desires to establish definitely the rules that shall govern the signing of initiative petitions.
 Labor leaders say that court deei- sions have rendered the Initiative and Referendum amendment practically in operative: that under the rules laid down by Chancery Court it will be al most impossible to initiate any meas ure that will successfully resist the assaults of shrewd lawyers.
 It is reported that the National Referendum League, of which Judson King is secretary. is drafting a pro posed amendment to the I. & R. amend ment to be submitted to the Federation in October for consideration. If it is thought advisable, the Federation will initiate this amendment to be filed before the legislature meets, to make the L & R. law more elastic, and make it easier for the people to initiate a law which they desire passed.
 Chancellor Martineau set a high standard of requirement. for petitions to initiate proposed acts or amend ments in the future, when he granted the injunction against certifying out the Bankers Guaranty and the Miners Qualification acts. There has been more, or less carelessness and indiffer- epee in the past in the hirculation Of these petitions, and as rule any body's name would be accepted. But Judge Martineau holds that the names of only qualified electors are aceep- table on the petitions, and where this fact cannot be shown, the name may be stricken from the petition. For this reason one-third of the names on the Bank Guaranty petition were rejected, leaving the petition more than 5000 short of the requisite number of sign CTS. It is a serious responsibility that one assumes when he signs an initia- tive petition, because he thereby be- comes a legislator. and in order to do so, he must be qualified in all respects as an elector.

four-mill tax on intangibles was not
popular in Newport, and the assessors
made little effort to enforce it. In 1913,
however, the attitude of these officials
! changed and the assessment OF intan-
gibles was nearly doubled, with the re.
suit that the tax rate was reduced from
1880 to $3.50 Providence recorded an
increase of substantial amount; but that
city had done very well in 1912, and
therefore the relative gain in 1913 was
not as great as in Newport. In general
the working of the four-mil tax has
depended wholly upon the attitude of
the local assessors, since the state tax
commission has only advisory power In
the premises. Some towns and cities
still seem reluctant to enforce the tax,
but such an example as Newport fur
nished this year ought to prove conta-
gious.
The last report Of the United States
commissioner of corporations accords
high praise to the Rhode Island tax act
of 1912, and shows that Rhode Island
and Wisconsin have accomplished more
than any other states in the direction
of undermining their systems of taxa
tion. Not unnaturally our neigllbors
are beginning to feel a just pride in
their achievement, and the Providence
Journal pointedly suggests that Rhode

Do We Realize What Federal Roads
Mean?

The late Eugene II. Loud, congress.
man of the old type who represented
California for a number of years, once
said that he voted against the rural free
delivery when only $4,000 was asked
for, and for it when $2,000,000 was the
item in dispute. He believed the leak.
age from the treasury could be arrested
If taken when il was small, but that
all the powers of darkness would be in
, effective after so considerable hole Ia
been blown in the reservoir as the Sec
ond item constituted.
This principle applies. to the good
roads bill, carrying only S25,000,000
which has just passed the House of Rep
resentatives by an overwhelming ma
iority. The sum is not large. Every
body believes in good roads. The ordi-
nary automobilist is glad to hear that
any agency is preparing to improve the
country highways, the more forces work
ing to that end the better.
But what is the common sense of the
situation3 Is the federal government
the proper unit for doing this work
Only on one account. In that way the
people who need the roads most, and
who will pay least for them, can get
them. The present Democratic ascend
ancy has been prolific in enterprises of
this kind. In our own thickly settled
part OF the country, where the roads
are already relatively good. this appro.
priation win be lost in the shuttle; its
effects will be imperceptible. But what
we shall pay on this account is no joke,
and need never be so regarded
In its details, the measure seems little
short of ocular. 1t proposes to i'm
prove the roads by an expenditure which
the New York Sun has computed would
hire one man for one day, two dollars,
for every stretch of highway liz feet
long. How much good such an operator
would do to our Massachusetts, high
ways can be readily seen. He might do
some good in Arkansas. Why not let
Arkansas hire this done, and let us i'm
prove our own way, each state knowing
what it gets, and paying for what it

Community Spirit and Work.

fer the opportunity for each and every
citizen to study the end and purpose
of each and all of these activities. The
approaching social welfare exhibit and
its possible features should have a tend
ency to awaken community spirit and
this once set in operation will lead to
community work, and this can have but
the one end, the development and bet
terment of the town, and let these con-
ditions come about and not only is this
town benefited but its surrounding ter.
ritory in a radius of at least Is miles
for Hartford is, or should be, the hub
and center of this territory.

population then does its realty valuation
appreciate four-fold, and if this be true
then what more potent incentive for
community work can one ask for. To

but town will not grow without the
action of its inhabitants. A town is q
business proposition and undertaking,
and therefore the measure of its success
is in the hands of its people, and these
people must first have plan or scheme
Of work and enterprise.
In its Board of Trade the town has,
in sense, a bit of constructive machin-
cry, and 1t is but matter OF fact that
all should unite in its operation. Its
membership is open to all but if all do
not help in its operation then its eff

The approaching springtime is pro-
pitious one in which to join the organiza-

The Coming of the Prince.

1t is q long time since we have had a
prince OF the British blood royal as a
guest of the American people, and espe-
eially one heir to the throne. Society
has already begun to prick up its ears
over the recently announced probability
that next year Edward Albert, prince
of Wales, will pay the United States a
visit. Ii he can win the popularity that
his grandfather, Albert Edward, achieved
on a similar tour, more than half CEN
fury ago, it viii be well worth his while,
and If he can carry away as pleasant
and friendly impressions, that seemed to
have a lasting influence upon his mind
during his whole life, it will be worth
our while TO have him come. In the
summer of 1916 the prince will have at
tanned his majority and win be year or
/ two older than his grandfather was when
he came in contact with people in au-
thority, with people in society and with
institutions new to him, TO all of which
he gave enthusiastic study more as an
observer broadening his experiences and
improving his point of view, than as a
critic, challenging conditions because
they were different from those to which
he had been accustomed.
When he returned TO his own country
he undoubtedly went as friend of this
one and ever remained so. Though still
in the period OF adolescence he had cul-
tiyated the social graees. Though doubt
less trained to believe that difference to
him was his due, he yet showed a cour-
teous and apparently grateful apprecia
tion of the attentions which he received
and the pains taken TO make his visit a
pleasant one. His stay in Boston was
certainly enjoyable. Frederick W. Lin
coin was mayor, and between him and
