whether these pensioners need the $100 year-a million people could be found in Arkansas who could prove they needed $100, or $1,O00.
 The pension fund should be limited to the relief of actual destitution. No one wants to see an aged Confederate veteran who fought bravely for the lost cause have to go to county poor farm; but it will not require million and quarter dollars a year to extend such imperative aid to indigent veter- ans and their widows.

J. I HOGAN WRITES PERTINENT LETTER ON GOOD ROAD QUESTION TAKES RAP AT POLITICIANS
 OPPOSING THE CON-
 DRAY BILL.
Editor Log Cabin Democrat:

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 It seems to me that the only ques- tion for the people to decide is wheth- CT they want to go on with the pres ent system of woodworking, or wheth- CT they want to build some permanent rock roads. If they are satisfied with what they are getting now they ought to vote against the Condray bill. Speaking for myself, I am not satis- fled with the way things are going now. We are paying three mills on real estate and personal property too, and the roads getting worse all the time. I heard some politicians at Conway who have run on every issue in the world and now trying to get up something else to run on say that the Condray law is not democratic enough. If the present roads and woodworking system is democratic, it's time for us democrats to wake up
 The people who pay the taxes and have to founder through mudholes don't care so much whether the roads are democratic or populist-what they want is something for their money. Some are opposed to going in debt for the roads, but that is the way Judge Lea built all his bridges. He issued scrip for them and discounted the scrip at such a low price that he could we'll have afforded to issue bonds and paid interest for a long time-and at that the county would have been ahead. Some of us tax payers are getting mighty tired of paying out our taxes for nothing ex- cept to keep up a lot of office holders in town who won't do anything to inn prove the roads of the county, and try to ride into office fighting the only law the people can get road improve ment under. The people ought not to listen to these politicians who are trying to mislead them and to arouse their prejudices. They ought to; study this road question for themselves. The way I figure it, under this new law, my taxes will not be much, if any higher, than under the present law. But if my taxes should be double, I could still mighty we'll afford to pay it, because I would have road to get to town on all the year around. What [ we need is to have more business and less talk and politics in our road work. Our county politicians have not done anything for us but spend our taxes and get us further in debt all the time, and I am glad that this road matter
 under the new law would be turned
 over to business men. This may be
 the only chance we people will get in
 long time to get good roads. Let's
 study it ourselves and not listen to

DAILY EDITION.
THE PENSION TAX.

The legislature which just adjourn. ed consistently and consistently re- fused to adopt any of the several plans submitted for the honoring of the Arkansas treasury warrants nearly a million dollars worth of which are now being peddled about by the holders and sold at whatever dis count the brokers are able to exact Yet in the last few hours of the ses- sion, practically without debate or op- position, bill raising the Confeder- ate pension tax from one and one-half to two mills was passed.
 This was equivalent to saying to the people: "We have left the state treasury hopelessly bankrupt and in solvent and it cannot redeem it's obli- gations in cash until some other leg islature comes along and provides tie means for doing so. But we shall add one-third to the amount we are donating to charitable cause
 This does not mean that the cause is not a worthy one. But usually when an individual becomes bankrupt and unable to pay his debts he reduces rather than increases his voluntary contributions to all kinds of worthy causes, feeling that whenever he has any money to spare it should go to the people whom he owes.
 Fifteen or 20 years ago, when the Confederate pension business was be- gun in this state; when the number of indigent and needy veterans was three or four times as great as it is today, and when the assessed proper ty values were less than half as great, a levy of -one-quarter of one mill was regarded as liberal tax for pension purposes. And we really believe that this quarter-mill afforded as much actually needed relief as will the two mills; because in those days pensions were allowed only to those who were really indigent and who otherwise would have been forced upon the coun- ties as paupers.
 But now it is notorious fact that practically anyone who applies is granted a pension. On the pension rolls of every county can be found men and women who own good property, who have good homes and who, if un- able to provide their own living, have children who are able to provide for them. It is not question as to

the politicians. Of course the big landholders and the railroad company will be opposed to it, and We know that they can always get lot of fellows to talk any way they want them to, and that may be the reason for some of the big lies that are now being spread around against this road law.

ORIENTAL RAILWAY IS
OBJECT OF CONQUEST
Course to Constantinople Famous
Route Central Powers Seek to
Seize and Maintain.

Most important of the ways along
which invasion is now being pushed is
that followed by the Oriental railway.
connecting Belgrade with CONSTANT
nople, the famous Balken route which
the central powers are endeavorins to
seize and maintain" begins a primer
on war geography issued today by the
National Geographic Society. This
way follows the Morava valley to Nish.
where it branches through an irregular
lowland through the hills to Sofia, the
Bulgarian capital, and thence takes its
course along the valley of the Martha,
through central Bulgaria, to Mustaf ia
Pasa and Adrianople, when, running
south and east, it crosses the Martha
and follows a well protected course
through the center of European Tur-
key to Constantinople.
1.-The only link in this famous over
land route of Europe's to the orient
which is not under control Of the allies
of the central powers is that within
Serbia. This link represents stretch
of about IFS miles, being about 125
miles from Belgrade to Nish and about
40 miles from Nish to the Bulgarian
frontier.
Nearly the whole course of the Bull
garia -Constantinople route is paral-
leled by chains of hills and mountains,
capabl of most stubborn defense. and,
for the most part, the exposed hinter-
land to the west and south forms
rugged. difficult region of complex
mountain pattern.
THE way of this route. of SO great
present Importance in the war, is diff
cult of attack from its entrance into
Bulgaria until at that part of its course
where it crosses the Martha. The
Rhodope mountains, which form the
boundary toward Greece,
above Saloniki, are outposts between
fifty to seventy miles to the south of
the way through Martha. These noun
tains, also. but little back from the
bulgarian Aegean seacoast. guard this
mart of the exposed frontier. From
Enos, where the allies have a military
base, to the orient line at Demotiki,
Turkey in Europe, is about fifty miles.
."The land in between. however. is
marshy, with nothing of the dignity of
a road. cuts the little Turkish port city
from the interior. Nevertheless. this
forms probably the most vulnerable
section of the way. Elsewhere. in Ser
bia. in Bulgaria and throughout its
lower course in Turkey, the important
pathway of the Orient railroad 10 shell
