The city council of Little Rock is
wrestling with one Of the most per.
picking problems with which it has
had to contend in a long time. For
several weeks the council has been
working on a proposed ordinance as
sessing an occupation tax against ev.
cry conceivable business, occupation,
and profession, for the purpose Of
raising additional revenue to replace
that lost through the abolition of the
saloons 1t is estimated that the ordi.
nance which has been drafted will
bring into the city treasury about
$4,000 a year Under the terms of
the act passed by the last legislature
the ordinance cannot become effect.
i've until it has been apopted by the
people at a special election called for
that purpose. The ordinance will be
passed this week, and an election call
ed at once for its submission to the
people,

Attached to every marriage license
issued in the state hereafter is a cou-
pom, costing the parties 80 cents, the
coupon to be detached and forwarded
to the State Registrar of Vital Statis
tics at the State Capitol, and the fees
are to be forwarded to the State Treas
urer to be placed to the credit of the
Vital Statistics Fund. This coupon
gives the name, age, and nationality
of each party to the marriage con-
tract. The bland now in use does not
require the nationality of the contract
ing parties to be stated. This will be
of value in determining the relative
parentage of the various races mar
rying in the state.
In statement to the county clerks,
DR.. Garrison, the State Health officer,
says:
There is no fee provided for the
county clerk for this additional ser
vice to the state and II was assumed
that each county would be willing to
contribute a few cents a month to
forward these marriage coupons and,
further, there is a bill now pending in
congress to extend the franking priv
ilege to the State Board of Health
which, if passed. will enable the coun-
ty clerks to forward all matter with
out postage. In case there is any
county clerk not disposed to furnish
few stamps from his stamp supply,
required each month to forward these
certificates, this department will sup
ply the same on request"
This fund will enable the State
Health Office to organize the Vital
Statistics Department upon an eff
cient basis for genuine service. There
was considerable difficulty under the
old law in securing registrare who
would do the work promptly where
their remuneration was very uncer-
tain Many of the county judges were
not in sympathy with the work, and
refused to pay the fees Of the regis
trars, and in consequence the vital
statistics of the state were at best
only partial and most unsatisfactory.

In the general administration of the
food law.
It is estimat that If each person
would save 8 $ per day on waste
and spend 81 per day less for food
than he does DIV the country would
save $2,OOO,000,00O annually.
Associates of Mr.. Hoover are work
ing on schemes of inducing hotels, din.
ing cars and other public meal serving
institutions to eliminate waste as much
as possible. A program is being pre-.
pared in which 100000 people each
will have a prominent part. Surely
this is taking the people into your con
fdence with a will" by giving each a
part in carrying out a new law that
affects all.
Another big problem of Mr.. Hoover's
is the amount of foodstuffs that will
be allowed to go out to the allies sc
that they may be fed sufficiently te
keep the war going and that we do moi
suffer as a result. It is estimated thai
10 per cent Of the food that has gone
abroad heretofore has been sunk by
submarines.
Food Control Bill Needed.
1t is the opinion of Mr.. Hoover and
his associates that the American house
wife will play the biggest part on tn.
food question. AS. a rule the American
housewife, especially the society wo
man, has been very wasteful, and Ger
tainly her regeneration as a house
keeper is at hand.
The food control bill is up in thu
house of representatives, having beef
given right of way over other legisla
ton. Days will be required for de
bate, though congress at last realizes
the need for haste. Charges have beer
openly made in the house that foo6
spectators are now going about tht
country buying UP crops in advance tt
corner the market before the govern
ment administrator can get to work.
"That is-why we want to get the bill
passed before the crops begin to move
said Leader Kitchin.
There is an intimation that some Of
the most specious spectators have
wormed themselves into the government
service and are trying to hamstring thu
new movement before it can get started
100000 Asroplanes Needed.
Two things are making Washington

Women to Have Large Part In
War Under Food Bill.
HOOVER EXPLAINS HIS PLANS
Three Cents q Day Cut of Waste and
Three Cents a Day Less Spent on
Food Mean $2,0oo,0oo,ooo a Year to
Nation-other Timely Gossip of In
terest From National Capital.

Washington Especial Correspond
ence].-Two billion dollars a year could
be saved In foodstuffs If each person
saved 8 cents per day on waste and
spent 3 cents per day less on food.
Housewives are invited by Herbert G.
Hoover, food administrator of the gov
eminent, to help carry out the new
system which will be put into opera
ton as soon as congress passes the
needed legislation. Captains will be
appointed in all sections of the coun-
try, and the women will have an OPP
p%ortunity to show how they can help
the nation.
Dom waste bread!
Save two thick slices every day and
defeat the U boat.
Complete victory If you eat less
bread.
Food controllers ration is four pounds
of bread per person per week.
The kitchen is the key to victory. Eat
less bread.
Save the nations bread and eat only
the national alton
Eat less bread.
These are the slogans that will be
sent broadcast and will confront you
on all sides as 500 as the pending war
food measure is passed.
"The biggest work is to be done In
administering this law" said Mr.. Hoo
yer-the man of the hour-the man
for the herculean job. While he is
bending every effort to work u a plan
for the conservation of food as well as
sending it abroad to the allies the lob
Ibies of the legislature are filed with
the butcher, the baker, the ~candlestick
maker. The halls are alive with vest
ed interests. But if food spectators
land food manipulators only knew it the
man Hoover is burning the midnight
soil to devise ways and means by which
each party's proper interests will be
conserved.
Must Have Cooperation.
For example," said Mr.. Hoover, 81
do not think the maximum price plan
In Europe uAas worked too well. 1t
would seem to me a more cooperative
method in price fixing viii work out to
the greater advantage of all concerned.
In other words, prices set should be
toward stimulating production as well
as to get prices as low as possible, SO
that the poor man will not have his
standard of living too low"
Toward this end Mr.. Hoover is hop
ing to secure cooperation in each de-
apartment of production. That is to say,
the matter of price fixing will be large
Hy controlled by the production as well
as the stages of sales. For example, the
producers cooperative scheme will ap-
kproximate the price that shall be
charged to the wholesalers for staple
Sarticles, such as wheat, etc. Then
wholesalers, in a cooperative plan,
Twill approximate the price to the retail
Eers, who, in turn, will adjust the price
Ito the ultimate consumer. Every eff
fort will be put forth to have these CO
Operative bodies joined with the gov
lernment In carrying out the law, and
The women are to play the greater part
