There is no tax that brings
bigger return than school tax.
There was time when our
rural schools were just drag
ging along, but now provisions
are being made by which they
are improving. Show us a COM
munity with a good school and
we will show you one where
bright, healthy boys and girls
are making happy and attrac-
tive the homes they represent.
With education comes the de
sire for better homes, better
society, better churches, and
thereby a cleaner and strong

LITTLE ROCK EDUCATOR
TO SPEAK AT PICNIC

Prof. w. B. Torreyson of
Little Rock, who is connected
with the State Department of
Education as supervisor of ru-
raj schools, has accepted an in
vitation to deliver an address
on educational topics at the
Annual Picnic and Old Set
tiers Reunion to be held at
Newark next week.
Prof. Torreyson is a splendid
speaker, and among other top
les he will discuss some of the
features of the proposed
Amendment No. II which is to
be voted on in the coming
election.

AMENDMENT NO. II
WILL BRING RELIEF

A concrete argument in fav-
or of the adoption of Amend
ment No. y to the Constitu-
ton Of Arkansas whereby a
school tax Of II mills may be
voted, is furnished in Rogers.
The school board announces
that it has but funds enough to
conduct four months of school.
The remainder Of the term
must be tuition school and
many poor families will be I'M
able to provide the tuition. Of
course, a fund will be made up
and the schools conducted, but
wouldn't it be more equitable
to have the matter taken care
of through regular taX-paying
channels? Of course the tax
lodging, money-lending gen.
try would have to bear their
part of the burden, but they
will never tote their end unless
forced to, and it is up to the
rest of US TO make them play
fair by voting for the amend
ment.-Rogers Press.

New Primary Election
Law a Failure

Many of the best papers in
Arkansas are strongly oppos-
ed to the proposed new pri-
mary election law, and are not
hesitating to say so. We quote
the following editorial from
the Arkansas News of Little
Rock:
Primary elections are held
for the one and only purpose
of giving each particular polit-
zeal party the right to choose
its own candidates and fix its
own rules for Neutrality-suspicious..
In doing this it should al
ways be one right of the party
to say what shall constitute
membership in that party.
''The proposed election law
does not leave the party any
right to fix a standard by
which it may accept or reject
members, and gives the right
to all, regardless of race or col
or, or previous alignment to
walk up and "vote'r straight
"The people of Arkansas,
members of the Democratic
party, will welcome any law
Chat is most Democrats wild
that provides for pure cleo
tons, a full vote and a fair
count. But the present propos-
ed election bill that has been
initiated affords nothing more
than the presene law affords.
and it takes away from the
party the right to say who
shall be members.
For many years in Arkan-
sas the first and foremost re-
quisite to be a voter in the dom
inant party was to be "a white
Democrat This requirement
is removed by the proposed
law, and all that is now needed
is that the man will make a |
pledge to support the nomi-
nees of the primary in which
he votes. It removes forever all
party organization, and leaves
the primary election of no
avail, so far as it serves the
party in choosing candidates.
"Then it will unquestionably
allow the negrot- to vote. and
even the Republicans are about
to take that privilege away
from the Senegambian.
'The law is not what a ma
jority of the Democrats want
and have been asking for"

mistaken. The only way to keep

This Township Should
Buya Road Machine


zens of Newark and vicinity
should get together and raise
a fund, to be augmented by a
substantial appropriation from
the treasury of the town of
Newark and an additional and
larger appropriation from the
road funds of the Big Bottom
Road District, for the purpos,
of purchasing an oil tractor
and grader to be used in build
ing good roads into Newark.
The Journal favors getting
down to hard, cold facts, and
making a business proposition
of the road question.
The tax books of the county
show that since the present
road law went into effectthere
has been approximately $685.
600 spent on the roads in Big
Bottom township.
In five years from now, if
road working is continued un-
der the present system, we will
have spent at least $4,000
more, and our roads will not
be very much better than they
are now, if we are to Judge the
future by the past.
This community must have
better roads!
The only way to get them is
for our citizens to get together,
reduce the proposition to a
business basis, buy a tractor
and grader. put it in charge of
a competent man, and BUILD
THE ROADS
1t may be argued by some
that the county already owns
one tractor and grader and is
going to buy another.
But what of that? Did you
ever stop to figure how many
miles of road there are in In
dependence county, and how
long it will take to put all
these roads in good condition
with these two machines, or
even with four machines?
The Journal favors the pur-
chase of a tractor and grader
for several good reasons.
First and foremost, THIS
COMMUNITY NEEDS THE
ROADS.
And we do not know of any
thing that will pay larger divi-
dends in real service to all the
people of the community, orI
be of greater benefit to the en-
tire community.
