of Increasing its rates, says Blake.
{ Blake reports that the service to
Schofieid win probably be completed
this month. Construction OF the line
to the Peninsula at Pearl Harbor will
then start and later the service will
be extended TO WahiaWa as rapidly
as material arrives.
Less Tourists, More Fares
An optimistic statement comes from
c. G. Ballentyne, manager OF the
Rapid Transit. One might think a
material decrease in the tourist trade
here would tend to reduce the COM
paIiy's business but on the other hand
Ballentyne says the gross receipts for
last month we're S4557 greater than in
May, 1916.
Notwithstanding the lack Of tour
lists and an increase In the number Of
automobiles In Honolulu" he says.
Eve are doing bigger business. We
cannot determine whether the same
number Of people are riding oftener
or whether more people are coming
20 the islands, but we are sure of
enc thing, more niekels are coming In.

END COMING OF CHRIST
Lecturer Cline C0nStrues the Prophecy and Reads the Signs of the
 Time.

For four nights of this week, closing last night, Dr. c. c. Cline of Little Rock, lectured in Brinkley at the First Presbyter- ian church on Prophecy and it's Present Day Fufillment.
 The lecturer, as a student of prophecy, takes the position that the present worlds war is the real Battle of Armagedon and that the second coming of Christ will be the ending of the great war. This question is being written and talked about by the students and learned men from one side of the world to the world to the other.
 Lecturer Cline showed a re. markable familiarity with the books of prophecy and what the worlds students have to say along this line.
 The lectures were well attend ed and whether his hearers agreed with him or not they were at least given wonderful | inspiration to study and improve their time.
 The doctor has recently given his lectures at Eureka Springs and the Episcopal rector there writes of them as follows:
 Eureka Springs. Ark.
 July 6, 1917. Rev. c. c. Cline
 My Dear Brother:
 I desire to express to you my sincere thanks for the great de light with which l listened tt your lectures upon and exposi ton of the prophetic visions o1 the books of Daniel and Reyela ton. Your interpretation o1 those peculiar prophetic pictures gave us a fair panoramic glimpse of the progressive fulflment o1 those wondrous foretellings. II these times of great tribulatior such a course of lectures is quite timely and very appropriate anc we'll worth the attention of all O Gods people.
 Faithfully yours,
 Chas. D. Belden,
 Rector Episcopalian Church

 I desire first to thank you for electing me as your repre- sentative in the Convention which will frame a new Consti- tuition for Arkansas. This was my first application for an office at your hands and you honored me with the position without op- position from any source what soeyer, so far as l have heard. The position to which you have elected me is one of importance not only to the people of Monroe county, but to the whole state of Arkansas, as the framing of a new Constitution, a law upon which all other laws must be based, is an act which requires the most serious consideration and much preparation.
 Several important questions have been settled, temperance, woman suffrage, iniatiye and referendum and others are now not open to discussion, and do not presume will meet with any opposition from any member of the convention.
 l. The question of revenue is one of the most important things to be considered. You hear much talk about the taX-dodger, but little about the wasting of public revenues. The whole efforts of our Legislature has been the increasing of valuations and in- creasing taxes by other means than the direct increasing of rate, such as inheritance tax, franchise tax, etc, Tax commis- sioners, township assessors and |other boards q created for the purpose of increasing the tax in- come and nothing is done to- ward economy.
 To add to the tax burden the National Government is neces sarily increasing Federal taxes to enable us to do our share 1T the war.
 If our revenues were eXpend ed carefully and our state ant counties effectively managed our rate of taxation could be re duced and much more public i'm provements had. I do not mear by this that there is any dishon esty among our public officials ol that they are getting rich iron their salaries. There are simply too many of them.
 Our county will serve as al example; and 1 mean no criticism of our officials by this article They are all honest and are do ing just what 1 would do were one of them. It is the fault O. the system.
 Our county's revenue, inclu sive of road fund, is abou $85, O00.00 per annum, this is th' income from $l, 300, 000.00 of in vested capital. The corporation of Monroe county is six times a large as the combined capital an' surplus of the six banks of tn
 county. We entrust the entir
 management of this corporation
 and the expenditure of thi
 revenue to one man, whose sala
 ry is only $t,500.00 per annum
 payable in script; and he doe
 not devote over one-half of hi time to the work. If our bank
 used this plan they would brea , in ninety days.
