TO THE PEOPLE OF ARKANSAS: Tho railroads of Arkansas are today facing the most serious financial problem they ever have been called up to solve. Briefly, it is more revenue or oo;verships The men operating these railroads believe in the fairness of the citizens of Arkansas and they believe if the citizens knew the railroads side of the case they would be in favor of restoring the three-cent passenger rate. The price of prac- ticaly everything has advanced very materially during the recent past The railroads now pay ing more fer necessary material and labor and for nracticaly everything that goes into the operation
 
 The railroads are net asking for an increase in this instance There are merely asking for the restora- tion of a rate which the Interstate Commerce Con- missicn recently decided is reasopable, and which is generally conceded by those conversant with business and railroad conditions to be just
 Because the railroads believe that the citizens of this state desire to be fair; because railroads be- eve their cause is just, and because Arkansas pros nerty has all important and close relationship railroad prosperity, the railroads have decided to appeal to the people in series of articles, and they request the people to read what they have to say, keeping in mind that the closest scrutiny of every statement is invited The railroads of your state not relating; they are not discriminating; they treating every body alike whether they be great small nfuen- tial or otherwise They wish to present their case clearly and openly
 The railroads believe that the people will see that justice done The railroads have transporta- ton to sel sell it at prices and meet their obligations. The railroads want to give Arkansas good passenger service as is given Ill  any other state by any other railroad but this m- possible under two-cent rate. The railroads wiI be able to show that the constant and unnecessary harassng of railroads has resulted in thousands of skilled being thrown of employment and has resulted in a necessary curtament of expend lures which ordinarily hundreds of thousands Of dollars spent each year for material and labor in Arkansas. Read these articles and decide whether the of the railroads is just.

of the world, according to an an
nouncement by promoters of the

cember 10. Efforts were made to ar
range an elimination bout between
Fulton and Frank Moran of Pitts
burg but, according to the promoters,
Moran refused to meet the Minnesota
pugilist and was notified that if he
did not agree by December / to do
so the match would be given to Full

One andIHalf Million
Autos in California

California has passed the high
mark predicted for the state in motor
car registration, with a record OF
15S, las cars, 25,79S motorcycles
19,O51 chauffeurs and receipts of ST.
923, 7O6. Other states are increas-
ing in amazing style.
New York has increased its lead
with 222,250 cars. or one automo-
bile to every A persons in the state.
California has one car to less than
half that many inhabitants.
But New York, with its $500
more cars than California, has paid
$9O,991 less in fees.
Illionois will rank next to New
York with total near the 200, 900
mark before the end of the year.
Ohio has come with a rush in 1915,
having registered so far 176,42S cars.
This total shows the amazing gain
of nearly 80 per cent increase over
the registrations of last year.
Iowa has probably been the best
field of all from the manufacturers
standpoint, this year. The Hawk
eye state has absorbed $4,000 new
cars and is. still buying. Iowa now
has more than 100000 machines. As
in Kansas, the majority of Iowa autos
are owned on the farms.
