Milwaukee Wis The Free Press says edltorially.
 We think the hrotherhoods are mak- ing R mistake fin refusing arbitration.
 If they are fairly entitled to what they ask for. impartial srbitrators will award it to them, and the public, which finally foots all transportation bills, will draw its belt a bit tighter. pay the price either in higher rates or dimin- ished service, or both, and thers will be no Interruption of the couutry's 5 commerce.
 But If American business shall be thrown out of gear by n general stop page of railroad service because the brotherhoods have refused 10 arbi- trate, public sympathy will undoubted ly be with the railroad owners and managers And without the support of public opinion the brotherhoods could not win a strike

The first of the week We received a personal letter from County Judge Harry E,. Cook, which, was highly grat- flying and very much appreciated by the editor The following paragraphs from it will be of interest to many of our readers;
 Enclosed please find q petition for call for a Good Roads Mass Meeting, which am going to ask you to please publish in this issue of your good paper in the interest of better roads. The time is now most toPportune for progress and advancement along this hne, in fact for all internal development.

What would have been grave burden and possibly an eNtrova- gance two years ago, now becomes a necessity and an economy
 Knowing your earnest aui aasrifsu interest in all public matters benehciai and advantageous to your town amt county feel free to make this request of you would have sent the cali last week but did not get the petition from Dermott until to-day
 Another matter of pabIle concern in which eou haze manifested a great interest k the representation of Chicot County on the " Arkansas on Wheels itinerary and in this regard beg toiu. form you that have written personal letters ta all members of the Quorum Court and have requested their views as to the Proariety of the appropra- tjoa. have recjeved responses from a majority and by uhanimeas voice they favor aai urge the appreciation.

Serious Situation.

A serious situation contGants the newspapers of the United States, the largest as well as the smallest. as re suit of the tremendous increase in the price of paper, condition supposedly resulting from the war in Europe In the face of the increased expense. many papers have gone out of bust ness, or been consolidated with other publications Speaking of the situa- ton. the Kansas City Star editorialy says:
 Newspapers generally have assumed that the public was not interested in their business arrangements Saeh an unprecedented situation has arisen. however. in connection with the advance in the cost of print paper and for that matter of practically everything that enters into newspaper production
 that newspapers all over the country are being compelled to make readjust- ment of advertising and subscription rates to meet the new conditions.
 White paper Is the chief item of eX- pense in newspapers of general elrcula- tion. and in the last few months its price has advanced 20 per cent 50 per cent and even in some cases lo0 per cent The advance in other materials. while not so great, is very material, and increases the gravity of the prob lem,
 Newspapers and magazines alike are doing their best to tide over the situation with no radical changes Itj7 only prudent. however, to recognize the fact that if the advances of the last few months continue as they seem likely to- the entire periodical business will have to be readjusted

 Amendment No. l2

i. Amendment No. l2 doeS not in crease your taxes
 : ltpermits any school district in Arkansas to vote upon itself any mum Der of mills from miIl up=tal2 mills
 3. That is to say under Amend meut No. i2 the voters of your district wl.l meet together in Annual Schoo. meeting the third Saturday in May each ,ear to vote on the question of ioca. school taxes You can then vote a tax of mil. pr mills. or mills pr : m.us. or 2 mills, or any number of mills up to l2 mills but no more.
 l. It is possible that your district does not need any higher rate than its now voting If so yon can continue to vote the same rate as now. or even d lower one
 B. But the important point is this There are hundreds of districts where the present rate is not high enough to support the school These schools will have to close and deprive their children of an education if Amendment No F is not adopted Questions Will you not be fair enough to adopt Amend ment No. l2 and permit these districts to spend their own money as they please for the education of their owr children
