The Stewart Tribune in it's last is
sue announced that unless the Stewart
merchants patronized the advertising
columns of the Tribune more gener-
ously in the future, and the very near
future, too, than they, had in the past
steps would be taken at once to secure
advertising contracts from outside
sources. And why shouldn't they?
If the home merchants do not consider
the advertising space in the local pa
per worth anything to them they
should not object to the use of it by
outside advertisers who did think it
was worth what was asked for it and
used it.-Hutchinson Leader.

Worthy of the Honor.

Cambridge has been honored this
year by both the leading political part

P. Yngve as one Of their twelve presi-
dental electors and the republicans
prevailed upon Editor F. A. Guderian
to accept like position on their ticket.
Messrs. Yngve and Guderian have al
ways been willing to serve their part
les in any capacity and the honors thus
conferred upon them are acceptable

The Spotlight Conferred on Politics.
The newspaper reader who isn't in

state election year and is going to be
chock full of politics. The only way of
escaping it is to move out of the coun-
try.-Belle PLANE Herald.

Salvation, Sensation and Graft.

Billy Sunday seems to have cor
rallied all the possible sidelines that
yield profit during a religious revival.
His "free will'' offering is pretty

house to house asking people to give
as much as they can as "free will"

But 1t was complex, apparently, and not easily understood and the voters, always suspicious of any thing pertaining to taxes, would have none of 1t. Students of tax conditions see now that the re- peal of that law was a mistake. It may have had faults, but they could have been cured by amend ment. Something must be pro- vided to take its place. for the state cannot continue long in the present condition.

LID again. IL has been a vexatious issue for years, and 1t will contin ue so until 1t is settled and settled right.
 And there are many who be- lieve 1t will not be settled right until a constitutional convention Is held for the revision of the or ganic law of the state A new con- stitution has been agitated for years, and each session of the General Assembly gets little nearer to it. For the first time, the Democratic state platform Is committed in favor of 1t. Dr. C.. II. Broagh. nominee for Governor Is an advocate of new constltu- ton. Business interests and nut nieipal interests throughout the state are demanding such relief as can come only through a revis- lon of OUT basic law. Arkansas is almost the only Southern state that has not adopted new con stitution since the days of recon struction when peculiar conditions  required restrictions that are now deterrent rather than protective.
 The whole system of taxation and assessment. of public improve ment finances, is ont of joint. in- adequate. | complex patchwork of statutory Inconsistencies. This has been pointed oat#by members of the Tax Commission. byZBr. Brough. and by many others who have given it a study. Judge .Jor- dan Sellers of Morrilton k the latest to cause an agitation of the subject. pointing out the danger that confronts all the counties in being forced through federal inter vention 10 assess property at 100 Der cent in order to provide reve- nue for meeting obligations due non-residents.
 To be sure, it has been pointed out that while orders for full as sessments have been made against sTeral counties. all have been compromised and none ever =en- forced. but that fact does not eliminate the jeopardy in which the taxpayers of every county are placed.
 Assessment conditions have been greatly improved by the State Tax Commission. but still there k d wide diversity and lack of uniformity due to the in- adequate system. The Tax Com mission admits range in assess ments from 20 to 70 per cent of the par valuation. During the last few wears. the Commission has eXerted its efforts toward SC curing q uniform a9sa assment of 50 cents. and their work has elim- mated many of the most gIaring Inequalities. But there is sill much room for Improvement.
 The provisions of the pr m constitution on this point are in- teresting. It rea5Is. All prop erty s1iIQtet to taxation shall be taxed according b its ealae, that yalue 10 b a~ccrtaned in such mauneE as= the general assembly shall dras.t making the same equal aud uniform taroag6oIj tho state

Commissioner W. B. Owen, of
 the State Highway Department, predicts that if Amendment No. II Is adopted by the people in the November election. 1t will mean the construction of at least ten thousand miles of the best improved modern highways in the state within the next five years.
 He cautions the voters against neglecting to work and vote for this Amendment, as he considers 1t one of the most important measures that has come before the people in long time. It will be a complement of the AleXand- CT Law, which Is proving to be most constructive piece Of legis. lation.
 The amendment, now being published in tie various counties provides that county courts may issue bonds 10 cover loans made for the building of roads. such bonds to bear inter- est at the rate of 6 per cent. and 10 run for not longer than thirty years. All such funds shall be used exclusively for making and the public roads and bride in tbe county where is- sued There need be no fear or thetax becoming burdensome, fof ii k specifically provided that the tax of3 mills. how levied i'll most of the counties. and the tax for the payment of the bonds, shalI not be in force at the same time, one automatically excluding the other.
 The floating of bonds will en- able the road authorities to car ry out great projects for county systems that would not be possible under the present method of taxation, the funds ac- cruing each year being made quate to the needs of eompre- hensiye system of highway con Struetion.

SHAWNEE, Pa, August 9.-Walter
Hagen of Rochester. who holds the met
ropolitan open championship. led the
field at the end of the first days play
in the fifth annual open tournament of
the Shawnee Country Club here yester-
day. Two rounds of rs gave him the
excellent score of $50 for the day, which
was one stroke better than Jim Barnes
Of Whitemarsh, and two better than
Jack Campbell of Old York road. The
weather was exceedingly hot with high
humidity, making it very difficult to OBJ
tain a good grip of the club.
There was nothing startling about Ha-
gems morning round, but in the after
noon he got into all kinds of trouble on
the first hole and took a seven. Instead
of being discouraged by this poor start,
he settled down and played some re-
markable golf and took only 81 strokes
for the next eight holes. He had a good
chance to beat $50. for he was only 32
strokes for the last eight coming in, but
he took three puts on the eighteenth

A very snort time remains now before
the opening of the post-season combats,
