BOND AMENDMENT
LARGE VOTE ON THE PROPOSED
LEGISLATIVE AMENDMENTS
URGED AS NON-PoLlTICAL.
Preliminary Steps Taken For an Out
ing on the New Little Rock High
way on 29th of September.

Recognizing in the proposed constl-
tutional amendments that the prlvi-
lege of voting on these issues is non
POLITICAL but on the contrary is
rather a duty that every citizen
should perform, the Chamber of Com
merce last night by the adoption of
resolution offered by d. Burgaurer,
went on record for a full and com
plete expression from the citizenship
on the issues to be presented in the
election of next Monday, and favored
the support of the amendments as
progressive steps.
President Callahan and Secretary
Latta both spoke on the necessity Of
a full and complete vote, since a vote
without scratching out against
amendment is half a vote against the
amendment. The amendments to be
adopted must be favored by a ma
jority OF those participating in the
election. The cities of the state.
| through all the commercial organiza-
tons, are making a splendid fight for
! the proposed amendments, and par
| ticularly for the band amendment.
A communication was read from +.
F. Hollis, MANAGER of the traffic bu-
reau of TeXarkana, asking as to the
progress being made in the establish
ment of traffic bureau here, and the
communication was referred to the
| freight traffic committee.
The question of whether only a par
tial list of registered physicians APP
! pearing in Cutters Guide should be
protested against, as had been former
| ly done, was renewed in a communi-
| cation from Mr.. Cutter asking the re-
scinding of a former resolution on the
subject Mr.. Cutter publishes the
| physicians names who subscribe for
guides. He thought it was puresy a
matter between himself and his adj
vertisers, and the whole of the mat
ter was passed after some discussion
of the subject.
Gilbert Hogaboom of the grievance
committee called attention OF the or
SANITATION to the fact that new ex-
ecutiYe officers for township and
county would soon come into power,
and stated at the next meeting ne
would present a resolution asking
that the new officers do not appoint
deputies as "complimentaries, but
that they only name such deputies as
are necessary to the fulfillment of
their executive offices, and that such
| deputies, without reservation, be re-
quired to file their commissions as
required by law.
Secretary Latta read a communica-
ton from the commercial organiza-
tons of several cities where the com
mission form of government had been
in use, asking their opinions as to it's
benefits. Unanimously the replies
favored the commission form of gov
eminent. President Callahan urged
all who had suggestions to make on
the plan to be used here to present
! their suggestions to the legislative
committee.
Frank Moore brought before the
an exhibit of the agricultural re
sources OF Garland county, which he
said had been prepared, and was one
of the best possible to make from any
county in the state. The promoters
wanted help in placing the exhibit be-
fore the Tri-State Fair at Memphis,
and the matter was referred to Sec
rotary w. w. Waters of the Arkansas
State Fair, for approval, after which
is received the Chamber of Commerce
win help in the matter of the expense
OF taking the exhibit to hemphis.
There being a vacancy on the
board Of governors, T. c. Cockburn
was erected to place ON this board.
The progress Of the work on the
new Little Rock highway was ?zss
scented by Chairman Birkett Williams,
who said that the progress OF the
work as ali that could be asked, but
that the commissioners were broke.
The fund is being paid in fairly we'll,
but the demands are extremely heavy
and it will require extra work on rEe
part of a committee which President
Callahan will name, to get more
money paid in to meet the deman&s.
Chairman Williams reported that tse
work was done over about two thirds
of the strip of road. He suggested
that a committee BIO named to ar
range some form Of program for an
entertainment out on the road for
September 20 so the people might
gather and see the progress Of the
work. This was done.
Mr.. Waters suggested that at this
time there be extended TO the people
of Benton an invitation to meet with
the Hot Springs people out on the
road so they, too, migl ypee what is
being done here. He spoke of the in
