A NEW CONSTITUTION FOR ARKANSAS,

The sentiment in favor of constitutional convention is
growing The state convention having declared in favor of new
constitution the party has become committed to it principle
To oppose will be to refuse accept the policies for which
the party has declared
Dr. Charles H. Brough is earnest advocate Of con-
sution In personal letter recently written to Mayor Charles
Z. Taylor of Little Rock. DR.. Brough says:
Il heartily in sympathy with the plank in the Demo
cratic platform calling for constitutional convention
While of the strongest Arkansas to doubt the
tmeness of calling convention in the mmedte future yet the
necessity apparent that favor taking chances of the con-
venon being composed of statesmen rather than po
The time has in Arkansas when should stop play
ing petty peanut politics and get down sound construct
i've business ideals of public administration.
Furthermore, whether the legislature calls the consu-
tonal convention not in favor of the eXtention of
present system of the initiative and referendum whereby
than three amendments be submitted at election
The decision of supreme court placed limitation upon the
popular power which, my humble opinion should be removed
by legislation
My attitude upon this question is nequvoca and based
upon the promotion of what peceve be the best interests of
Arkansas
To others Dr. Brough has expressed himself most empha
cay He will recommend the calling of constitutional conven
ton in his inaugural message and will do all within his power
within the proper limitations to bring it about.

THE TALE OF BROWNIE BEAVER
A Queer Place to Live.

The village near one end Of Pleas
ant Valley where Farmer Green Otter
went to sell butter and eggs was no
the only village to be seen from Blue
Mountain. There was another which
! Farmer Green seldom visited, because
lit lay beyond the mountain and was
la long distance from his house
Though he owned the land where Il
stood. those that lived there thought
they had every right to stay there as
long as they pleased, without beins
disturbed.
1t was in this village that Brownie
Beaver and his neighbors lived. II
was different sort of town, TOO
from the one where Farmer Green
went each week. Over beyond Blue
! Mountain all the houses were built
in pond. And all their doors were
under water. But nobody minded
that because-like Brownie Beaver
everybody that dwelt there was fine
swimmer
Years and years before Brownies
time his forefathers had come there
and finding that there were many
trees in the neighborhood with the
oSAl VI udI n lucy Ilhcu " Jrot-SuSAi
as poplars, willows and box elders
they had decided that it was a good
place to live. There was a small
stream. too, which was really the be.
ginning of Swift river. And By dam.
ming it those old settlers made a pond
in which they could build their houses.
They had ideas OF their own as to
what house should be like-and
very good ideas they were-though
you, perhaps, might not care for them
at all. They wanted their houses to
be surrounded by water, because they
thought they were safer when built
in that manner. And they always in
sisted that door leading into house
should be far beneath the surface of
the water, for they believed that that
made house safer too.
To you such an idea may seem very
strange. But il you were chased by
an enemy you might be glad to be able
to swim under water. down to the bot
tom of pond, and slip inside door
which led to winding hall, which in
its turn led UPWARDS into your house.
Of course, your enemy might be
able to swim as we'll as you. But

COMMISSION HEARS
PLANS FOR RELIEF

Jefferson City. Mo-, Dec 20.-The
state public service commission has
listened to plans to relieve the gen.
eral demand for more freight cars.
from representatives of all of the main
line roads in this state.
The railroads contend that the de.
murrage charges are largely respon-
sible for the blockade at terminal
points.
Shippers are now allowed forty-eight
hours in which to unload and the rail-
road companies may charge demur-
rage thereafter Of 81 per day per car.
The railroads are willing to allow
the first forty-eight hours free but
want commission rule by which a
double charge may be made for each
subsequent day.
