aminer Shows Progress in
School Work in County

Examiner Sidney Pickens of

sons of school age in this coun-
ty.
There are SO districts and

months and two days.
Three new school houses

a total cost of SIS. 400. The to-
tai value of school property in
the county is now 1872, coo.
OF the 8,721 children in the
county, 6,623 were enrolled in

SOME DANGEROUS
FACTS ABOUT FIRE
Cited in a Statewide Effort 10
Cut Down Arkansas Annual
Fire Tax

Enough people to populate
town the size Of Ozark, Corn
ing, Pocahontas, GAINESVILLE,
Arkansas City, Ashdown OF
other community of about l.
I00G inhabitants, are needlessly
killed each year in the L. S. by
fire.
Fayetteville, aside from its
student inhabitants, or Ell Dor
ado could be very nearly popu-
lated by Ire numEes Of persons
manned CT injured through
fire each Sear in TINS couutev.
Compared with Europe's rec
ord, this is a terrible loss. In
Europe the regulation of fire
hazard Is very strict and in
telligent, supported both by
law and public sentiment.
The attitude toward fire
which has grown up in this
country is strikingly illustrated
by the example Of our metrop-
olist. IN New York ten million
dollars a year are spent to put
out fires and SIS, 900 to pre-
vent them. In Arkansas the
public spends thousands ofdol-
lars a year in maintaining fire
departments to put out fires,
and nothing practically to
prevent them.
Il the buildings burned in
the United States in one year
were placed side by side on a
thoroughfare it would be long
enough to reach around the
| borders of Arkansas. Every
| ten blocks along this street, ov-
CT q thousand miles in length,
would be one house fromwhich
a person had been carried out
seriously injured and every
thousand feet would be the
ruins of a building in which
| some one had burned to death.
The way to save the lives
and property of our citizens,
conserve the created resources
Of the state, and reduce the in
visible fire tax of fifteen dol
lars a year that comes out OF
the pocket of every man in
Arkansas is to have fewer fires
and having fewer fires is a
matter Of education and pub
lie sentiment.

LAWS TO Be VOTED ON
ARE BEING PUBLISHED
Full Text of Proposed Acts and
Amendments Will be Found
In Today's Paper.

The proposed amendments
to the state constitution ana
the laws initiated by the peo-
pie are published in this issue
of The Journal.
There are amendments No.
y and Is, and two initiated
acts to be passed on by the peo-
pie of the state at the election
in November, besides the con-
stitutional amendment submit
ted by the legislature.
Amendment No. u has been
given wider publicity than any
of the amendments. 1t provides
for an increased school tax, or
district option for increased
tax. Under its provision any
school district in the state can
vote a school tax for school
purposes only up to II mills.
Amendment 13 is another
amendment to be voted OMIT is
backed up by the unions. This
amendment is one that takes
the limitations off of the init
ative and referendum, and
leaves with the people the
| power to make and change as
many laws as they see fit, re-
moves from the legislature the
power to pass local legislation
and attach the emergency
clause, and requires that in the
event the emergency clause is
used, there should be good rea-
sons for using it and the emer-
gency clearly defined.
The acts do not share in the
popularity Of the amendments
and both of them will hav,
hard sledging. The act to re-
peal the statewide law will af-
ford the chief interest in the
November election, because it
is the one measure aboutwhich
there is a universal interest.
While the old liquor men dis
claim any responsibility for the
act, it is quite sure that the IL
quor forces are not asleep, and
they will do all they can to re-
peal the law. None of the men
heretofore active in the liquor
campaigns have seemed totake
any interest, and many of them
say they have no further inter-
est in the liquor traffic. Those
who circulated the petition de-
clare that it is simply a popu-
lar movement of the people
who are strong for local option
and that the liquor interests
are not concerned. But it is a
bllnd man who cannot guess
that the liquor people are still
alive and that they have new
er submitted to statewide
without struggle. It may be
safely said that the liquor in
terest will make one big fight
to win, and some of them even
believe that the statewide law
will be repealed. The prohibi-
ton forces, while declaring
that there is no sentiment for
the repeal of the law, are not
gong to be caught mapping.
and it is sure they will put up
strong fight to keep the state
dry. The prohibitionists are
still we'll organized and they
are ready for the final fight on
the liquor question, confident
that at least a majority of the
people of the state do not want
liquor sold in Arkansas.
The other act, the one to
change the primary election
law, will also have some rough
sailing. Ordinarily law that
would change the method of
holding elections and safe
guard the ballot would meet
universal approval. But many
people and good Democrats
who have always favored hon
est elections are opposed to
this law.
The other amendment is the
one submitted by the legisla-
ture, and provides special
lew of 2 mile for vol

ARKANSAS FARMERS
UNION in SESSION
Organization in Flourishing
Condition and Mobley Will
Again Head State Union

Jonesboro, Aug. 2.-The
first session of the State Farm
ers' Union met in the college
auditorium this morning at s
o'clock with a large attendance
of the delegates from the vari-
Gus counties overthe state. Hon.
Charley Barrett, national pres
dent, presided over the open
ing session, after which the an
nouncement of the standing
committees was made by the
state president, Hon. II. S.
Mobley. The remainder of the
morning session was devoted
to speeches by Hon. Charley
Barren, national president
Alex Davis, national secretary
National Committeeman Don
blazer; J. W.Trusty of Fort
Smith, who is here in the in
terest of the 12-mill school tax
levy, and Hon. T. N. Wilson of
Pine Bluff, the state president
Of the Federation of Labor of
Arkansas, all of whom made
interesting and instructive
talks.
The afternoon session was
consumed in the hearing of the
reports of the delegates from
the various county unions and
the officers, all of which shows
the union to be in a live and
enthusiastic condition.
Tonight there was held a
closed session, at which many
matters of Importance and in
terest to the union were con-
sidered.
Tomorrow morning the cleo
ton of officers will take place
and from the best information
obtainable, Mr.. Mobley will
be named as president by &C
clamation to succeed himself.
The delegates are loud in
their praise of the reception
given them and the large crowd
that greeted them at the an
nual picnic yesterday, given
by the county union. There is
already started by number
OF the delegates present a
movement to bring to Jones'
boro for 1917 the national
meeting Of the union, meeting
this year in Florida. There
will go up strong petition
from the state union and the
business men of Jonesboro to
bring this gathering to Jones'
boro.
Among the other things
that will be considered at this
meeting will be the considera-
ton of a resolution passed by
the Craighead County Union
recently, and certified to the
state meeting, protesting
against the repeal of the state
wide prohibition statute, and
many of the delegates present
have been heard to say they
are heartily opposed to the re-
peal of the law. Indications are
that the state union will go on
record as being opposed to
the repeal of the law.
