 There are so many things in this city dependent upon state legislation that for some months past there has been in formulation a plan to get two of the most influential and active workers of the citizenship to go to the next legislature.
 The interests of Hot Springs de- mand particular attention from the next legislature. and the interests of all the cities of the state demand recognition. It will be the purpose of these men to work tlrelessly for a change in the revenue laws of the state that will permit the cities to raise sufficient legitimate revenue to conduct their present needs and to grow as cities are to grow else where.
