unable to ascertain how much the drainage improvement and road dis trict debts are, but they are very large. My purpose in calling public attention to the growth of such indebt- edness in Arkansas is to try to arouse the people to the necessity of public economy and retrenchment and for the exercise of more care and caution on the part of the officials in the issuance of bonds and other obligations. These debts must be met by taXaton. They cut down the value of real estate. They eat up the earnings as well as the savings of the wage earnerS and make it difficult for people of moder- ate means to own their homes.
 The American Idea.
 In 1776 there came from those who made the Declaration of Independence the announcement of brand new idea in governmental affairs to the effect that all men are created equal; that man by nature is free and is by devel- opment capable of government; that all government to be free must rest on the consent of the governed.
 This involved the denial of the di- vine right of kings. The King of England read it and was enraged; i; the revolution followed; after four years of war the idea was vindicated. The idea became known to all of the world We invited all who believed in it to come and live with us. From all parts of the globe they came to aid in the work of building a repre- sentatve government. The people have increased from three to one hun dred million, and the states from 13 to AZ. The union of those states has survived the Civil War and by the cementing power of American patriot ism exhibited on both sides the peo- pie and the states have been brought closer tooether and now more fully appreciate their common aspirations and ther common destiny.
 The idea is still at work and is the hope of humanity; in time it will free the world. This is the greatest era in the history of the world, and ours the best government.

 No such debt should be created without a full knowledge and consent on the part of the people who must pay it. 1 would favor laws that will authorize necessary improvements but such laws should be safeguarded at every pont and the utmost care should | be taken before the debts are created. .

Many of our school districts are greatly embarrassed with debt. Some to the extent that it taxes practically all of the income to pay the interest and the children have to pay tuition if they attend school.
 The railroads and other public uti- lities have made the same mistake of making large debts. Instead of pro- curing sufficient capital to build and equipp the roads they have borrowed money and made mortgages and bonds; in many cases for the full value. The burden has become too heavy; they have defaulted; their credit is gone. Receiverships and re- organizations follow. With all that consequent troubles to labor and traf- fic.

Honest Elections.

The last Democratic Convention ap- pointed commission to prepare a primary election law to be presented to the Genrl Assmbly. This was done but it failed to become a law. The main purposes of the bill are'to secure honest elections, a fair count of the vote and the right of contest l was a member of the commission and gave the bill my hearty support.
 If the Democratic party is true to its name and expects to control this state it must see to it that the prin- ciples of that bill are enacted into a law. If initiated 1 will support it; if not, and I am elected Governor, l will do all in my power to have it passed by the next General Assembly,.

State Wide Prohibition.


 l see no place in this campaign for an issue on this question. The tenn perance laws of this state have aI- ways been among the best. Some good people have believed in local op- tlon; others have believed that the question should have been submitted to the people. This probably would have been done if an honest election on the question could have been as sured.
 Whatever may have been the diff ference of opinion in the past as to how to deal with this question there Is now no doubt that a large majority of the people want the sale and manu- fracture of liquor in this state stopped. On that basis the question has been settled. All lawabiding citizens should cooperate for the enforcement of the law without rancor or bitter feeling against those who disagreed with us. If elected governor all the power of that great office will be used to en- force that law and it will not be re- pealed unless over my objection.
 The Growth of Tax Burden.
 One of the causes of busness and industrial depression is high taxes and the increasing public indebted ness. The constant growth of taxes in the United States shown in table 5 of the United States Department of Com merce on Wealth. Debt and Taxation IS alarming. National. state. munich pal and school debts have seeming ly reached the danger point. In 1860 the general average annual tax burden for state, county and municipal by di- rect taxation was only $500 per capi- ta; in 1912 it had been increased to nearly $l4.00. This is exclusive of Federal Taxes and of the enormous sums expended in towns and cities for special improvements.
 The States and other divisions of government in the United States hav- 1ng power to incur debt have bonds aggregating $3,475, ,954, ,353.00 which is an Increase in ten years of $1,845.884,- i43.OO or ll3 per cent.
 In Arkansas the municipal. county and school district debt, the great CT part of which has accrued in the last decade, is $12,577, 100000. am

FATHERLAND GETTING

German Consul's Daughter Travels to
Belgium and Back Every Once
In AWhIIe

London, June 12.-Oficially, all German
residents in England are now interned in
the various concentration camps. but in
reality. it is only the most harmless part
of the Germans here which has been put
behind barbed wire fences. while ths
more dangerous element Is not Only en-
JoyinS absolute freedom, but many of
these, who make no attempt whatever to
conceal their real feelings. are being paid
high salaries by the British government
as experts in various branches of indus
tries which are now being run under
government supervision.
The proofs that German agents are as
active as ever in all parts of the coun-
try are many and varied. 1t Is asserted
that fiashlight signals to mysterious YES
sells at sea are continually being sent all
along the coast under the very noses OF,
the military authorities. and it is also
said that German consuls in England are
still in regular communication with the
German government through certain
neutral individuals who are not watched.
although every letter that leaves Eng
land for France or Russia is opened and
read by the censor.
A German consul in a town very close
to London has a daughter who travels:
openly and regularly back and forth be-
tween this country and Belgium unhin-
dered by the British officials. who are
more than strict with ordinary travellers.
Her father since the outbreak of the war
or. to be even more exact. no longer
than six weeks ago, was decorated with.
the Iron Cross, bearing the white ribbon
which goes with this decoration when It
is conferred upon civilians.

hurricane of shot. At 10 our turn
comes. We take the first trench at the
first go, rush on to the second, which
is empty, then on to the third. There
are Prussians still there. who shout
.Kamorad' and shoot with their revol-
yers at the same moment. We bayonet
them and go on to the fourth line of
the trench. There are about thirty of
us left We collect our senses and
stop. but only for a moment.
.'On our flank and in front the
Boches make a vioknt counter-attack.
We sit down to our positions in the
trench and shoot. The Boches retire.
There are sixteen of us left. For two
days we were counter-attacked des-
perately, but each of us meant to win
or die.
From our advance position We saw
the whole battle in the plain. 1t was
a fairy-like night. I was wounded at
in the morning, and was taken back.
