THE MAIN ISSUE.

Do not lose sight of the fact that the present disturbance over school matters is for the sole purpose of controlling the finances of the dis triet Fort smith has a bunch of men who are so determined to con- troi the money of the district that they are willing to wreck the most cherished institution in the city, Fort Smith Times Record. m
 All too often that is the main is- sue in differences that arise in cities and counties. and sometimes in states, It is the incentive behind political maneuvers and corrupt politics. The common people, the average citizens, are not spurred in- to activity by the profit to be made through controlling the finances of school district, improvement dis trict, city or county, because they have no selfish end in view, and all goes smoothly as long as the men who do profit, are allowed to go on in undisturbed possession of the ad- yantages.
 But when the other people-the taxpayers-see where they are be- ing wronged in seme way, and start an objection. then things begin to go around" That's the kind of awakening that disturbs the bosses, and sets the wheels of political ma- chinery to- humming.
 It's all to control the finances.
