U. s. PLANS DECISIVE MOVE
Berlin May Be Informed Mere Prom.
 ises Are Not Sufficient.

Washington, April 12.-The subma- rine issue between German and the Ur..cd States was discussed yesterday at meeting of President Wilson and his cabinet.
 A general outline of the sourse oi the American government is said to have been agreed upon, although a final decision was postponed pending receipt of the German note.
 The note from Berlin will deny that a German submarine torpedoed the Sussex and disclaim blame in con- nection with attacks on other ships with Americans on board. Consequent tly, in spite of the convincing evl- de:.ce in the hands of the State Ge- partment. any reply that may be sent probably will not deal exciusively with any one case of group of cases.
 To End Controversy.
 If such a communication as is con- templated is sent to Germany 1t will be designed to preclude the possibility of further drawnout diplomatic ex- changes and to make it plain that re- iterated assurances and promises that international law will be respected cannot protect the friendly relations between the two countries if illegal attacks upon peaceful merchantmen carrying Americans are continued. It probably will include resume of all the many vessels attacked from the time of the Lusitania down to the pre- sent
 The State Department has begun the collection of evidence covering the whole history of Germany's subma- rine operations.
 Col. E. M. House, the presidents close adviser, came to the White Hclse today for the fourth time since he returned fro Europe. He was in conference during the day with the president and other officials His re- turn at the time when it Is admitted the policy of the American govern ment is about to be determined, is considered significant. It is said the United States still has much evidence to gather before a decisive step Is taken.
The Little River news., 1916-04-15

Since the announcement of Dr. 13rough that he would tour the state for the 12 mill school tax. that issue is again caus- ing discussion. We have long advocated a more liberal school revenue law for Arkansas, but we cannot endorse the present act as proposed. We do not be- lieve in 12 mill general school tax. We do believe that we should have the power to vote upon ourselves a special tax for building purposes only. This would take care of bond issues fo:' buildings and not in any way hamper the operating ex- penses of the school. It is the business way. We very much fear that with a general 12 mill Ill purpose fund many districts would soon be in the same bad shape, a great big expensive school and no building, or else a big expensive building and no school. We would still have the same loose, shiftless, but more expensive financial system. It would not guarantee the child a full free term and at the same time guarantee him a comfort able and adequate school build ing. So long as there is no restriction he is just as likely to get an overplus of one and an underplus of the other as he is now, according to the temper, ;he judgment and the ability of the school board arrangements, which are as varied as would naturally be the case. We are for school betterment, but we have followed slip-shod systems about long enough. If the old sysit sn is a bad one, and we all agree that it has proven so why enlarge upon it?

pettcd, since nothing pleases that gentleman but himself.

Property owners over town are taking advantage of the water and sewerage lines and are having their houses fitted with modern sanitary conven- fences. Many connections have already been made through the contractor before the accept ance of the system. The seem- ingly impossible financial sum- bling block in the way of many to have this work done is being overcome by loan companies, who loan money for the pur- pose on long time and easy pay ments. Thus the way is open ing by which all may provide these things, and it is very like |, that a great majority will have made connections long be- tore the city enacts compulsory regulations to enforce universal sewer connections. All people who wanted water and sewers for the town enough to unhesi- tatingly vote a bond tax upon themselves to build them will not long delay getting for them selves the full use of them. We know of no other town any where the size of Ashdown with a general system of sewers. We have it in our power to soon be- come the cleanest, the most sanitary town in the state.

It is not necessary, in this county, in order to have good roads, to go to great deal of ex pense. One-half or two-t thirds of the roads of Drew county could be made perfectly good, for all seasons of the year, by just proper grading and drain ing. A good coat of gravel plac- ed on the surface of the rest of the roads, and we could travel with ease and comfort. Of course, it will cost someth ing to put the roads in this condi- tion, and the work of doing so should have system. Road inn
 provement districts might be formed and estimates made on such a class of road building, and then have the work done un- der the supervision of an expert engineer, and you will find that
 we can have practically good
 roads in Drew county at a cost of not exceeding S1, 900 per mile, on the general average. Where there is red or yellow clay or
 buck-shot soil gravel would have
 to be used, but on the white or grey soil, all that would be
 necessary is to grade and drain, for this character of soil will cement sufficiently hard for a good road bed the whole year.
 It is true that concrete or ma cadam would be better, but as these are expensive, we might get along reasonably we'll with
 the cheaper roads, and as there
 is little probability of us getting the high priced roads, let us go after the others.
The Monticellonian., 1916-05-25

The people of Drew county are, at last, waking up to the importance of Good Roads. They have commenced talking about them, and asking for pre- liminary surveys to be made. This indicates an interest in the subject, and when people once get to thinking about matter of importance, usually something IS accomplished. At the present time Eastern Drew county is leading off in this direction of building good roads, but it is safe to assume that other DOT tions of the county will take the matter uP at an early day and see what can be done for them.
 As it costs nothing to have the preliminary survey and esti- mates made by the Highway Commission, to the people, it is only reasonable to suppose that no one objects to having the cost of a good road made. When this estimate Is made and the actual  cost is known it will then remain
