DAILY EDITION.
OUR SPINELESS GOVERNOR.

When Governor Hays first became g candidate for the high position he now holds The Log Cabin Democrat did not believe he possessed the strength of character and the ability Of his opponent, Mr. Brundidge and for that reason this paper supported MT. Brundidge. Nothing during Gov ernor Hays administration caused us to change this opinion, until few months ago, when, for once in his official career, he apparently took a firm stand in the charities board con- troversy Not even the papers which supported him were quicker than the Log Cabin Democrat to commend the governor for his course in this mat ter.
 But the events of the past few days have destroyed the hope we entertain ed that our governor had backbone. At his urgent solicitation the legis- lature passed an act to enable him to take the charitable institutions out of politics. This he proceeded to do by appointing three active and lifelong politicians to take charge of these in- stltutlons. Charges of such a grave character were preferred against one of the appointees that the senate re- fused to confirm the appointment. To fill the vacancy the governor then appointed another politician, former state Senator. It was charged against another of the three appointees that he was a boot-legger and blind-tiger operator, but this appointment was confirmed. Numerous other appoint ments made by Governor Hays are of men who are either weak and in- capable or positively disreputable. We are unable to recall single ap- pointment which reflects any consid- erable credit upon the chief execu- tive.
 Upon the heels of all this comes the disgraceful episode of the racing bill. Irresolute, uncertain, vacillating to the last moment, the spineless execu- tive endeavored to curry favor from both the proponents and opponents of the bill and finally incurred the dis gust and contempt of both.
 Say what you will about the admin istration of Governor Donaghey, his appointments evidenced higher or der of statesmanship and he had the courage of his convictions. And the present pitiable spectacle of weakness and incompetence makes one long for the days when Donaghey occupied the gubernatorial chair.

HON. J. S. UTLEY is being promi- nently mentioned as a candidate for attorney general at the March, 1916 primary, though he has not fully de- cided as yet whether to enter the con- test If he does he can depend on the loyal support of Saline county friends.-Benton Courier.
 If MT. Utley enters the race he can also safely count upon the support of this, his native county. He is a member of one of the best Faulkner county families, received his educa- ation here and his record since he re- moved to Saline county is such as re- fleets high credit upon his "raising." :"

holds that you made a contract with your masters and the bondsmen, when you voted to adopt the law, and, there fore, the court holds you to it, and says you cannot refuse to comply with your said contract.
 Here in Conway, we are now paying more than $5 taxes on the S1OO in value of our property, and by these improvement districts We will be, if not stopped, paying $1O on the $10O within five years.
 l want to call your attention to some of the inside workings of this proposed law. It says this honorable board, these nine busy men, all rich and got more to do thap they can to keep up with their business, shall serve the "dear people" without charge. Do you believe they will not get pay? That is what they have been dong, is the reason they have more than ordinary people. They have the making of all contracts, employing of hundreds of contractors and laborers rom year to year, and these parties must have supplies, and, of course. these contractors and laborers will do business with these honorable gentle men All of which is very natural. So they will get theirs.
 This proposed law is the same law that IS being passed around by men who have money and want bonds is sued, so they can get their money in vested at high rate of interest with perfect security. Six per cent is not high rate of interest for the ordi- nary man to pay or get for his money, but when man has millions, they are glad to even get three per cent. The United States can get money at three per cent and so can the man who has millions.
 l have been lawyer for more than forty years, and have never seen or heard of more unjust law than this proposed law, that they ask you to adopt on March 31, 1915
 This law is a fraud and unjust. for with other objections, the law levies a tax on the lands, and levies no tax on personal property. There are men in Faulkner county that have hundreds of thousands of dollars in money and other personal property, that will not be taxed under this law to help build these roads.
 am in favor of good roads, but not in favor of class legislation and robbing a part of the people to build roads, for the benefit of people who pay nothing for the building and mak- ing the roads.
 l want to say, that "the Big Fish is eating up the little ones'; and un- less there is a stop put to it in 50 years, all the lands in this country will be owned by the few rich and the corporations. Then you will labor and farm to suit your masters. Cant you see it coming?
