THAT THIRTY THOUSAND DOL
LAR FEE.

The goad being welded by Judge
Kirby in his campaign for the United
under the hide of Senator Kirby. 1t
develops that during the several weeks
he has been spending recently in his
Office at Little Rock he has been la
boriously compiling another defense
of his connection with the famous
railroad tax compromise and explain
ing how he came by that notorious
$50, 900 fee some 10 years ago.
The senator has just issued a vol
luminous document, in which he takes
80 pages of fine print to tell the cir
cumstances of this singular transac-
ton. With his usual skill and adroit-
ness Senator Clarke makes it appear
that Arkansas was peculiarly fortu-
nate in having him to represent ting
state in this case and that it was only
through his herculean labors that
$586,657 in taxes due by the railroads
was not lost, instead of a mere
$251,773.
But, after a careful perusal of the
senator's masterful defense, we are
left with the impression that some
how the railroads escaped payment of
this sum of 1851 ,773, which the state
had declared was due as taxes and
which Senator Clarke as counsel for
the state had been employed to collect.
And also that the senator received as
a fee from the railroads to effect the
compromise the rather comfortable
sum of $4,000.
Now the senator declares that it is
untrue that he worked only six days
to earn this fee. "The fact of the
business u.s." he says, chat l devoted
time, which reckoned in days, would
represent so times six days" Well,
grant that he did. That would mean
that he got 800 for each day that he
devoted any time to the case-which
is reasonably good wages, even in
these piping days of prosperity.
And there is no record that during
this 80 days, which represents full
year of working days, the senator
declined to draw his salary of $4,000
per year, or $16.66 a day, as United
States senator. If as he states, it
required such arduous labor for 800
days to compromise with the railroads
in the matter of conceding to them
quarter of million dollars in taxes,
and that this labor was worth 500
per day, then he certainly could not
have at tho same time earned $16.66
per day representing Arkansas in the
United states senate.
But we may safely assume that the
senator took the $1666 per day from
the government as well as the 500
per day from the railroads. In fact,
the senator is quite thrifty individu-
al and we have never heard of him
overlooking any opportunity to gather
in the coin of the realm We do not
know whether at that early stage of
his senatorial career he had succeeded
in attaching any of his children or
the manager of his Argenta street
car system to the government payroll.
He may not have secured the chair
manship of the Committee on dispo-
sition of useless papers" at that time,
and the clerkship of that committee
carrying with it salary of 81 500
year may have been in the hands of
some other senator, who by virtue of
"long tenure and distinguished ser
vice" had won that distinction. But
we may be assured that such per-
equisites as these were taken in by the
senator about as rapidly as they came
along.

NATION FACING MEAT FAMINE

Economic experts Of the Federal
Government are giving the high cost
of living their thoughtful attention.
and are investigating the high price
of meat. The Department Of Agri-
culture has just completed a census
of the meat-producing animals of
the United States and finds that
there has been a deer ease of 4,183,-
900 head and an increase of $l76,
$50, 900 in value during the past
year. On January l, 1914, the herd
numbered 4,507,000, compared
with l48, $780, 900 head year ago.
The bulk of the nations decreased
meat supply is in the swine herd.
Compared with last year the numb
err Of hogs in the United States has
diminished, 2,1S5,OO0 head; cattle
IT'S, 900 head and sheep 1,763,OOO
head. The major portion of the in,
creased N2lnes is credited to the
beef animals. The values of all cat.
tie, excluding mich cows, when
compared with last year, shows an
increase of $l68. 6SS,O0O; swine
have gained SO, $4,000 in value
while sheep have deprecated 81 Ate

A BRIGHT FUTURE

Kendrick is on the eve of revi-
val. This word is in general sense
and is by no means limited to things
pertaining to another world. First
and formost movement is on foot
to unite the churches into one sound,
working body. This will give the
town higher religious tone than it
has enjoyed for years. There is a
decided sentiment in favor of such
a movement and it is generally un-
derstood that men who are wholly
engaged in such service will be in
Kendrick in the near future to take
the initiative in bringing this union
about.
The Public Forum already alluded
to in the columns of the Gazette is
meeting with much favor. 1t is re-
motely understood that the public
schools will back this movement and
in a measure, at least, be responsible
for it's success. In fact the public
schools are expected to figure in a
number of social events of no mean
Importance.
Kendrick as village is given over
to much gossip. There seems to be
a public thirst for local news. This
gossip when not directed becomes a
menace to the community-when
directed it becomes a power for
good. The union church will direct
it, the Forum will direct it, the pub
lie schools will direct it, so that
there is every prospect Of new era
right at hand. The teaching force
is now complete. A vacancy caused
by resignation has been admirably
filled. The success Of the primary
work is fully assured. There will
certainly be three years work in the
High School next year. The i'm
petus that the schools have already
secured through the careful selection
of teachers will doubtless fill every
vacant house in town for the winter.
All these things give character to
a town. They will stimulate bust
ness and help TO make lie notOnly
enjoyable but profitable.
The European War will make
times in this country financially
better, and when the business mar
smiles even the pessimist will cheer
up. The social side Of Kendrick a:
we'll as the commercial life is or
the upward turn and good results
are bound to follow. Keep right OF
talking. This you will do without
advice. When no better subjec
presents itself give your neighbol
another turn, for in the meanwhile
if you are on the lookout, you viii
find many opportunities Of giving
to the community a moral, mental
or social uplift.
