FAVOR AMENDMENT NO. "A
Fordyce Calls on Voters to Support
 the Bond Measure.


 Fordyce.-City and county officials and also business men here are talk ing an interest in securing the pass age of Amendment No. If at the elec- tion in September. Mayor Cabler has drafted the following statement, which was signed by twelve of the officials and business men:
 "To the Taxpayers of Dallas County:
 we, the undersigned citizens and taxpayers do hereby express our ap- proval of Amendment No. IA, which gives cities and towns of more than 1000 population the privilege of issu- ing bonds, and we believe that If you will support this amendment in the coming election you will, in great measure, aid the progress of our coun- try and endorse greater Arkansas. ''
 This statement has been printed and copy sent to every voter in this county with the literature concerning the amendment sent out under the .di- rection of Mayor Charles E. Taylor of Little Rock. No opposition has yet been heard, and it is believed this county will vote for the amendment by large majority.
Newport daily independent., 1914-08-26

qualified voters of town or city au- thorized it such town or city could ! contract debts, pledge it's faith and levy and collect taxes to meet such i obligations.
 'The Constitution of South Carolina adopted in 1895 provides that munich palities may issue bonds not to exceed per centum of the assessed value of the taxable property in the municl- pality.
 Mississippi has no iron clad prohf- bitten against the issuance of bonds. Its Constitution of 1899 merely pro videg that general laws shall be en- acted to prevent the abuse by municl- pal corporations of their powers or assessment. taxation, borrowing money ,.-4d CCne.G GcSIaS deDss.
 "The Virginia Constitution adopted in 1902 provides that municipalities may issue bonds not exceeding Is per cent of the assessed valuation or the real estate in such muicipality.
 "The Constitution of Oklahoma adopted in 1907 places no limitation upon the amount of bonds that may ls- sue when the proposition is approved oy majority, but I am glad that pro- posed Amendment No. IA has such Limitations and restrictions that 1t will not be possible to contract debts that will be burden to the taxpay- CTS. As much as we love Arkans nsas we cannot seriously contend that our cities and towns have developed more under our Constitutional restrictions than those of our neighboring states without such restrictions.
 Several of the states mentioned only permit the owners of the property to vote upon the proposition of issuing bonds but I am glad that proposed Amendment No. IA authorizes all qua lifted electors to vote upon the ques- tion because assessments will be levied for long period of years and some who are property owners today may not be later on, and some who are not property owners now may be large property owners in fifteen or twenty years from today. Some go up and some go down. This is history. There fore it is just and right that upon the question of creating a debt extend ing over period of 35 years to cover the cost of permanent improvements that every qualified elector should have voice in the matter.
 It is my opinion that large ma iority of the people of the cities and towns of Arkansas would like to have the right to borrow money for the purposes mentioned in the amend ment if a majority voting upon the question should approve of it and since the adoption of the amendment would not entail any expense or increase the taxes of those residing outside of the cities and towns such electors cannot possibly have any reason for refusing to grant the people residing in the cities / and towns the right to tax theselves if they wish to do so.
 Therefore, the amendment no doubt will receive the solid support of the people living in the country"

CHILD LABOR IS
 ENEMY or EDUCATION
Department of Education Head Con denns Child Labor as Economic
 Waste.

Educational authorities are giving enthusiastic support to the proposed child labor law They feel that the educational features of the bill will be Of distinct advantage, because chil- dren will be required to attend school at least four years and be able to read and write before they can go to work. Arkansas at present has a high per cent of illiteracy as have all the other Southern stat 5, and men who are in terested in the educational problem are anxious to see it decreased.
 MT. George B. Cook, superintendent Of the Department of Education, is much interested in the campaign for the new law because of the possibili- ties which he sees of keeping the chil- dren in school longer.
 sThe duty of the state to train each child for citizenship is very generally recognized as the first and most inn portant obligation" says MT Cook. The proposition that the stability of the government, it's economic impor, tance, and it's social and moral stand ing depend upon the training of the youth, is not debatable.
 This training should include the physical and ethical as we'll as the intellectual development of the future citizen, to the end that, in so far as possible, each individual may be a source of economic benefit, rather than a burden to the community.

RELIEVING POVERTY.


 Shall the Child of the State Take the
 Burden.
 (Excerpt from Compulsory Education, United States Bureau of Education Bulletin 573)
 An argument for the relief of poos' parents by the State or by private charity is that the benefit arising from the labor of child Is shortlived, as his earning capacity is small; and if he is allowed to work during his i'm mature years, his earning capacity will never be great, for he will always be an unskilled laborer; he may even become a burden upon society, since it is not likely that he will ever earn much more than a child. If, on the other hand, relief is afforded, and the child is allowed to attend school and complete the elementary course of study, his earning capacity and his ability to advance are increased, thus taking him out of class verging on pauperism.
 Little Rock, Ark, July 31, 1914. MT. l.. H. Moore; Secretary Arkansas State Federation of Labor, Little Rock Ark:
 Dear Sir-I am in receipt of your letter in which you ask me to give my opinion of the child labor law which was initiated by the labor organiza- tions, Farmers Union and Women's Clubs of the State, and in reply will say that I have read this law over very carefully and believe 1t to be an exceptionally meritorious measure. Several previous efforts have been made to induce the legislature to pass a law of this character and while child labor law is now in the statute books 1t Is so poorly drafted that it is i'm possible to secure good results from it. If the proposed law, which is to be voted upon in the September election, is approved by the people, it is my opinion that it will prove very bene- ficial in preventing the employment of children in the various industries of the State, when they should be at school.
 Trusting that the citizens of Ar kansas generally will support this measure and with kindest regards, I am,
 Yours very truly,
 J. c. CLARY,
 Commissioner of Labor.

The consent of the majority of the qualified electors voting on the prop. oscition is required before bonds can legally be issued. No bonds can be issued if the people of any given mu- uicipality do not want them issued It would be impossible for politicians to take snap Judgment on the people with such a stringent law as that in force. Support the amendment, and urge your friends to do so.-Fayette- vile Daily.

thus far by the states and nations of the world for this training is the pub lie school.
 Fourth Grade the Minimum.
 The educational requirement. of the proposed law is not high compared with other States-in fact it is the minimum. Most States require five grades and Some require six, seven, or eight. Kentucky, which already has smaller per cent of illiterarcy than Arkansas recently increased her educational requirement to five grades.

The principal gathers under the Rond Issue amendment will be the small towns of the state. which can not now under the existing laws raise the funds to build water and sewer systems. The property valuation there is not now sufficient to build any equip water plants, but under the amendment they can issue suffi- cient bonds, covering term of years. -Stuttgart Arkansawyer.
