X WHITE SAYS ONE CENT
* POSTAGE NEEDED REFORM 3

. L
XXX x Xxx Xxx x fk% ~
Ia 'I believe .one-cent letter postage
to be one Of the most necessary re-
forms which congress, now assembled
at Washington, could give u.s." de-
clares A. P. White, president Of the
Northern National bank of Bemid il
Mimi.
Mr.. White, with other leading bust
ness men of this city, is continuing
the agitation for one-cent letter pos
tage which was started several years
ago, and which is being carried on in
very aggressive manner under the
auspices of the. National One Cent
Letter Postage association, which has
it's headquarters at Cleveland.
The organization, which has repre-
sentatives in all the cities and towns
throughout the United States is work
ing aggressively toward the securing
|of lower rate on first class mail mat
ter, which includes all letters. @
business conditions, which are
improving throughout the entire
United States, would be further help
ed by a lowering of the present rate
on first class mail NATTER" declared
Mr.. White yesterday, while talk
ing in connection with the campaign
for the lower postage rate. This
campaign is being loyalty supported
II have been ,astonished at some
of the revelations which have been
made in connection with the way the
various classifcations of mail are be-
ing handled at Washington and the
fact that business men generally are
being unjustly taxed for the carrying
of mail matter. At the present time
the United States government is max
ing profit of over $70,000,OOO per
year on first class mail matter, and
at the same time it is losing more
than that amount on second class
mail. The postoffice statistics show
that the letter mail nets the govern
ment more than eighty cents per
pound, or more than $1,000 a ton,
while magazine mail is carried at the
rate of one cent per pound or only
$40 per ton. This is rank discrim-
ination and poor business policy.
Of H1ry;
much for the cost of the service as
the government pays, and the maya
zine publishers at the same time are
paying one-eighth the cost of the
service, for it has been demonstrated
on good authority that magazine pub
fishers mail, on which the mailing
rate is one cent per pound really costs
the government over eight cents a
pound to deliver at it's destination.
"The United States postofice de-
partment is the biggest individual
business enterprise in the world, and
it should follow in the footsteps of
other big corporations in working out
efficient business methods No large
manufacturing or mercantile estab-
lishment would permit one depart
ment to pay double the cost of SER
vice and at the same time allow an
other department to pay one-eighth
the cost of service.
''This is primarily the reason that
the campaign for one-cent letter post
age is being conducted throughout
the United States. We want equality

PROHIBITION DAY NAMED
Call Has Been Issued to Churches
 for January, 1916.

Little Doc, Dec. 16.-(Special.)- Col. George Thornburgh, president, and T. c. White, Superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League, has issued the following call to the churches of Ar kansas. <:
 At the last meeting of the Head quarters Committee of the Anti-Sa- loon League of Arkansas it was vot- ed to request all the churches in the state to observe the first Sunday in January, 1916 as an occasion TOT thanksgiving for statewide E prohib- ition. =.- 4...-.s5@,,z f-,- r.se
 Tt was thought unwise to prepare a program as each church will have different views of the manned in which the occaSicn should be cele- brated. Every pastor is requested to observe the day in his own way. The coming of prohibition throughout the state should be referred to in some way in the sermons of the day, and ing upon the law and for the faithful ness and success of the officers who are to execute it.
 Sunday School Superintendents may with propriety and profit call attention to the day in their Sunday Schools. It will be a great day in the history of Arkansas and should inspire us to grateful praise to the Giver of all good"

PLUMBING
 0f DlNANCE City Council Also Provides for Fire Department at It's Regular
 Monthly Meeting.

At the regular monthly meeting of tie City Council Tuesday night plumbing ordinance was passed The ordinance, which is very lengthy one, has been under consideration for some time. Its aim is to properly safeguard the property owner from a financial standpoint as we'll as the p1bjic health. A close study of the ordinance will show it not to be un- reasonable nor arbitrary, but gives the greatest latitude possible to at the same time insure all plumbing jobs to be good. All jobs of plumbing must stand inspection by an official city inspector before being received, and a bond is provided for. No taps or connections can be made without permits, and taps will be made direc.- ly by the city, and it is thought, at the expense of the city. The ordinance is said to be. a model one, and has been developed and revised by the city en- gineers, Winters & Dove through many years study and comparison with the regulations of other cities. Some clauses have been changed by the council on account of local condi- tions. and We are assured that time will prive it wise piece of legisla- tion. The council acted on the theory that the city had gone to great ex- pense tc' provide model water and sewerage system. in fact the best that modern engin neering has devised, and that to throw the city wide open to any. and all kinds of plumbing woulG be worse than folly, and defeat the ends aimed at, health and sanitation All those in a position to know, say that a bad icb of plumbing is worse menace to health than cesspocls and surface closets, carrying with 1t the evil of sewer gas, a rank and deadly poison. The ordinance goes further than does like ordinances in many cities in that it sets forth a varied set of specificatins that would be accept aoie. s
 Provides for Fire Department.
 The council also passed a resolut- icn providing for the immediate or aanization of a fire department of from 15 to 20 Een. This company "iil be selected by the Mayor and the Chief of Police who will perfect a temporary organization by tine selec- ticn of a chief and other officers. It provides that a committee be appoint cd t, make investigation as to un0er- writers requirements as, well as ali eedful information with a view Of drafting an ordinance for the regula- tiop of this fire department After tho passage of this ordinance the or sanitation will be made permanen.. II the meantime the marshal was in- structed to assemble the hose and reels, in the old pump house, which c'3cIlG aa fttoG Up as fire house for the present, or until the permanent arrangements were made. The aim Of this resolution was to get a fire de- partment now. and at the same time give the council time to work ou; the details later.
