The Educational Campaign Committee, one of the various agencies which are working for the success of Amendment No. 12, finds itself confronted with the task of correcting a wide spread misunderstanding as to the proposed legislation. Tn many sections of the state the idea'is prevalent that the adop- tion of this educational measure will mean a blanket increase in taxes, which, of course, is not a fact. The amendment simply grants to school districts the right to impose a slightly higher tax than at present, provided a majority of the qualified voters in the respective districts decide that a necessity exists for raising additional revenue. The amend ment is local option measure, pure and simple.

 Turn Arkansas loose with her new flag and her new forward movement in education," is the slogan which promises to inaug- urate an unprecedented era of progress in this state. With the adoption of Amendment No. 12 and with teacher governor at the head of affairs, Arkansas will be in a position to reach out and se- cure her fair share of the south bound tide of immigration.
 Itis becoming apparent that the only formidable imposition to Amendment No. 12 will come of some of the residents of the larger cities of the state, tax dodgers" and people who are so well situated financially that they are independent of the public schools. However, as abpro1i- mately 85 per cent of the school children of Arkansas live in the rural districts, it is safe to pre- dict that the amendment will be adopted by good majority if sufficient interest can be created to induce voters to go to the polls next November and express their sentiment.
 It is anomalous, but true, that Arkansas, although a prize win der" in various lines of conner cial competition with her sister states, occupies the humiliating position of being almost next to foot" in the matter of school facilities. With the limited reve- nue available at present for school purposes, the state cannot possibly keep pace with even nor nal demands, to say nothing of the exigencies which will be created when Arkansas comes into her own in the matter of immigration. The situation is serious indeed, and can only be met by providing additional reve- nue. What are you going to do about it?" Is the question be- ing asked those persons who are opposing Amendment No. 12, and they are silent before their accusers." Like the typical ob- struct!onist, they are ::'jes' sim ply agin it." but have nothing hottpr tO offer

General Trade Conditions.

Dun's Review says: An embargo
on freight shipments and some can
cellations of contracts because of I'M
certainties as to deliveries, due to the
threatened transportation tie-up, char
acterized the situation during the
week.
Yet, in spite of these conditions,
business made further substantial
Roadway, new projects in most in
stances being undertaken with sus-
tanned confidence. Current buying
continues noteworthy, though ordinar-
lily it might be checked and divergence
between supply and demand still is a
factor of strength in many markets.
Prices in leading lines tend upward,
steadily, but while the cost naturally
causes some hesitancy, consumption is
not lessened perceptibly.
In one important branch after an
other purchasing has broadened ap-
preciably, following a temporary lull,
and producing and distributing facili-
ties remain inadequate to meet the ex-
banding requirements. With transact
tions SURPRISING those of any other
year, much more business might be
done were it not for the scarcity of
materials and shortage of labor, which
prevent manufacturers from accepting
all the contracts offered. Weekly bank
clearings, $3,745, 141,257.

BRIDGE AT QUEBEC
AGAIN COLLAPSES
BIGGEST CANTILEVER SUSPEN.
SION IN WORLD MEETS DIS
AsTER-SPAN PLUNGEs.
INTO ST. LAWRENCE RIVER
Same Scene Of Fatal Accident in 1907
When 70 Lives Were Lost-ob-
servers Say the Span Broke
in Two Places.

Quebec, Que, Sept. 12.-The new
central span of the Quebec bridge,
the largest cantilever suspension in
the world, collapsed and fell into the
st. Lawrence river while being hoist
ed into place Monday, with a heavy
loss of life
The st. Lawrence Bridge company
estimates the number of dead at Is.
The bridge was being constructed
at cost of $17,OO0,OO0 in order to
shorten the railway journey from
Halifax to the Canadian northwest
by 200 miles.
The bridge stands on the site of
the structure which collapsed on Au-
gust 20, 1907, with loss Of 70 lives.
The central span, which fell Mon
day, weighs more than 5000 tons and
is $40 feet long.
Ninety Men on Structure.
The collapse occurred when the
span was about Is feet in the air.
There were 80 men on the structure
when it fell.
The fallen structure sank 200 feet
to the bottom of the river, and engi-
neers who witnessed the collapse ex-
pressed doubts as to whether 1t could
ever be brought up again.
Observers said that the span broke
in two places-first one of the cor
ners appeared to give way, this be:
ing followed almost Immediately by
a break in the center.
The span had been constructed on
pontoons few miles east of the
bridge site and was towed into po-
sition Immediately under the gap left
in the anchor arms Of the structure.
Chains with links 80 inches i'm di-
ameter, together with girders, were
then attached to the span and 5000.
ton hydraulic jacks began the stu
pendous task of lifting the span into
place.
This work could be accomplished
only a few feet an hour and as the
distance from the river level to the
floor of the bridge is $50 feet, the en-
gineers had not counted on complet-
ing the operation until the end of
this week or later.
The bridge was to have been ready
for train service next spring, mark
ing an important milestone in Can
ada's engineering railway history.
Ten Months Delay.
The property loss resulting from
the bridge disaster will be approx
mately 100000, it is said by Geo. L.
Evans Of the Dominion Bridge COM
pany The accident will delay the
completion of the structure for 10
months.
