PULLMAN PENSION BILL WOULD AID
 STATE GREATLY
If Congress Votes Pensions for Confederates, Arkan-
 sas Saves Money.
(By Clio Harper.)

Little Rock, March 4.-There is a
 great deal of interest throughout the state in the bill introduced in con-
 gress by Hon. John Tillman of the Third district, providing for the pen sioning of the eX-Confederate soldiers. MT. Tillman proposes that the govern ment shall place every surviving sol dier of the Confectionery upon the pen sion roll at $30 a month, or one dollar per day, for life, with $500 each pack pay. This is to be defrayed out of
 fund of $60,00O,000. representing the
 proceeds of cotton tax collected in
 the South after the war. about which there has been much proposed legis-
 lation.
 Should this bill become law. it
 would mean much to the state of Arkansas. The state this year paid the ex-Confederate soldiers and their
 widows, out of a direct tax of 1 k2
 mills, approximately $640,000. This will be increased in the taxes now
 being collected, to 2 mills, as provid- ed by the legislature of 1915, which will mean that next year the Confed-
 crate pension roll of the state will amount to about $S50,000. The in creased lew will, it is estimated, en-
 able the state to pay the pension al lowances in full. instead of operating them as has been necessary for years.
 or practically since the system was inaugurated. The levy for general
 purposes of the state government is only 21a mills.
 Should the Tillman bill pass, the state might and probably would dis continue its own pension system, which would be tremendous saving in taxes And at the same time the
 veterans an dtheir widows would be much better provided for than it is
 possible for the state ever to do. The highest pension paid in the state is $1OO a year, and the Tillman bill pro- vides that it shall be $365 a year. The Republicans are making an ef- fort to 'come back" They are stir
 ring up considerable strife among themselves. not to be wholly outdone by the Democrats. There is pros- pect of an interesting contest as to who shall have the empty honor of the nomination for governor--just
 what the man who gets it will do with
 it does not appear. John Hall of the
 Salem Sun says he is wiser than
 some of the others-he doesn't want it. The G. O. P. organ of the state,
 the State Republican, is to be revived at once after slumbering for two years. It will represent the younger element in the party, with George L.. Mallory as editor and Guy w. Caron business manager.

HUGHES FOR ARBITRATION.
Ne Wesid D First 10 Accord 70 Lsbss
All Rights Found Just Astsr
Consideration.

In his Maine speeches Mr.. Hughes
made it plain that he was not atfAck-
ing labor or the equity Of the pro-
posed Increase % wages for the. rail-
road men. He was simply contending
for the all important principle OF arbi-
tration as the right means OF settle
ment Of such questions. Speaking at
different places In Maine Mr.. Hughes
dwelt upon this question. saying:
II deeply deplore. In the name Of
labor. In the name Of justice, In the
name OF American ideals the surren-
der Of the Executive and OF Congress
to force. instead Of permitting reason
to reign.
The measure to which l have allud-
ed was not, properly speaking. an
eight-hour measure. 1t was q wage
measure. 1t was q plain proposition
for a change in the wage scale. l do
not speak OF the equity Of that. That
Is matter to be fairly considered. l
want what il just and right with re-
spect to wages. l am for the arbitra-
ton and the peaceful settlement Of
these Industrial controversies We
can settle everything In this country
II we approach those matters with q
fair and open mind and an examina-
ton OF the facts.
This particular measure shows on
its face that 1t was legislation In ad-
vance Of the Investigation. instead Of
investigation In advance Of legisla-
ton. 1t IL said that there was In Its
favor the Judgment Of society. The
judgment Of society In this country
has never been passed In favor Of leg
islation without knowledge Of the equi-
ty and regardless Of the facts Of the
case. There was no judgment Of so
ciety In favor OF the roads which were
excepted from its provisions. II there
was judgment Of society. why not APP
ply the rule to electric or other kinds
Of roads or roads less than 100 miles
In length: say. away with such PRE-
tense. II was surrender to force In
stead OF clear. candid. faithful fran.
ed examination Of the facts. and then
action In accordance with American
principles.
"Autocracy represents force: tyran-
ny represents force. Democracy rep
resents the rule OF the common judg-
ment after discussion. after an oppor-
tunity to know the facts"

Among the resolutions adopted by
the State board Of trade at its meet
ing recently was one looking to the
formation Of publicity bureau, for
the purposes Of systematically adj
vertising the advantages and oppor-
tunities of this State, especially its
opportunities for farming and in
dustries. The State will be asked TO
appropriate $4,000 to be expended
by the bureau, under the approval OF
the governor and council. The idea
is good one, especially that looking
to agricultural and industrial de-
velopment. Names self advertise
ment has conferred too much in the
past on its summer resort and sport
ing advantages. We have en-
couraged the playground OF the
nation" idea, to the neglect Of our
work shop. 1t would lessen our ad-
vantages ~ a resort State not . might

dustrial resources more, and would

IN PREPAREDNESS THE 40
MiNisTRATioN HAS FOL-
LOWED, NOT LED.

In the demand for reasonable
preparedness the administration
has followed. not led. Those
who demanded more adequate
forces were first described rs
nervous ard excited Only
about a year and 4 half ago we
were told that the question OF
preparedness was not a pressing
one: that the country had been
mislnformed. Later. under the
pressure Of other leadership. this
attitude was changed The ad-
ministration. II was said. had
learned something" and II made
a belated demand for an in
creased army. Even then the
demand was not prosecuted con-
sistently and the pressure ex.
erted on congress with respect
to other administrative measures
was notably absent.
We are told that the defects re-
yealed by the present mob!lixa-
ton are due to the system But
It was precisely such plain de
fects that under the constant
warnings Of recent years. with
the whole world intent on mill
tary concerns. should have been
studied and rectified The ad-
ministration has failed to dis
charge its responsibilities Ap-
parently It Is now seeking to
meet political exigencies by its
naval program But 1t has Inn
posed upon the country an In
competent naval administration.

TO VOTE For HUGHES.
He Says Wilson Has Failed 10 Enforce
purs Foed Law.

II favor the election Of Mr.. Hughes
to the Presidency for entirely different
reasons than those held By most OF his
supporters. II Is not because Of the
Mexican policy nor the foreign policy
OF the administration nor by reason OF
its domestic policies It Is because OF
the apparent Indifference OF the admin
istration o. President wilson to the
tarse ~ rure foods and drugs. Prac-
ticailv all OF the abuses which were
In. ected into the pure food law by the
preceding administrations are still In

Is evidently luil In the activities of

No attempt has been made to enforce

purity OF our bread. tas been facility
approved by the treasury department.
Mr.. Hughes In his activities ON the
supreme court has stood Ike a stone
wall for the proper administration OF
the food law. l believe bis election
would see a radical change in the afti-
tude Of the government towards pare

I sincerely hope that Mr.. Hughes may
be chosen as our next president.
Il should expect Mr.. Hughes as pres
ident to have the same attitude toward
the pure food and drug law that he had
MS judge on the bench and to appoint
a secretary OF agriculture with subor'
dinate officers who would be enthusi-
astic and earnest In the enforcement
OF the pure food Law for the benefit Of
the physical. mental and moral wei
