So Little Opposition De velops That Almost Unani

CERAWAY ONLY ONE,
 FLATLX OPPOSING
Arkansas Congressman Declares in Favor of Heavy Tax on Wealthy. and Voices Opposition to Proposed
 ConScriptiOn Measure.

Washington, April 13.-Eight hours of debate on tho $7,G00,000,0o0 war fund measure today developed so lit- tie opposition that passage of the bill tomorrow by almost an unanimous vote became certain tonight. Action in the senate probably will follow early next week.
 When the house adjourned tonight the debate had closed and the leaders had agreed to begin the discussion of amendments under the five-minute rule at II o'clock tomorrow. The vote probably will be taken early in the afternoon.
 Amendments approved by Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo. limiting specifically the distribution of the $3,- O0O,O00,000 loan to countries actually at war with Germany, and only dur ing hostilties, will be added to the measure Representatives Lenroot of Wisconsin and others today insisted that without these amendments the secretary of the treasury might make loans to European neutrals imme- dately or might continue the loans to the other countries after the close
  insisted such course had never been considered.
 Absence of partisan spirit marked the debate. Representatives KitchiI and Forney, of Michigan. who have for years battled on opposing sides or financial questions in the house, were the principal supporters of the meas ure An ovation was accorded MT Kitchin when he opened the debate ir behalf of the bill.
 Only one man, Representative Cara way of Arkansas, flatly opposed the bill. He insisted that the entire bur den of the war should be thrown on the wealthy of the country.
 "War ought to pay it's way as il goes," declared MT. Caraway. who di- gressed from the war fund bill tC voice opposition to the proposed con- scription measure.

THE DEMOCRATS
 DUTY
The democrats duty

The democrats duty . .... .....-
 A Democratic primary will be held today to select nominees for delegates to the constitutional convention in November.
 As every man offering to serve m the convention is doing so out of a purely patriotic spirit, and as ser vice will mean sacrifice, there has not been campaign, and there is not a great deal of interest being dis played.
 There was never more important primary, however, because the men who poll the biggest number of votes today will write constitution under which Arkansas probably will live for half century.
 Another phase of the situation that should impel the Democratic voter 70 participate is that the election of- ficials are contributing their services, just as have every official connect nl with the preparation for the election. | The Democrat owes ii to the state, to his party to the candidates and to his neighbors, as well as to him. self,- to cast ballot today.
