APPROVE PROBE OF
PEN FARM PURCHASE
SENATE RESOLUTION ADOPTED
BY HOUSE PROVIDING FOR
SPECIAL COMMITTEE.
FARM WORTH $4,000 MORE
az 10 Said Charges Of Fraud Have Been
Circulated and the People Of the
State Are Entitled TO Know
the Truth.
Little Rock

The house adopted, by viva voce
vote, the Senate resolution by Mr..
Adamson of Pulaski county, for the
appointment of special committee
TO investigate the state farm purchase
and management.
There was considerable debate over
the question. Representative d. b.
Niven of Jefferson, from whom one OF
the farms was purchased, and who is
mentioned in the resolution, protested
against what he said were 'insinua-
tons Of graft" and said that he is
ready to take back the farm at the
price the state paid. He said that the
farm is worth $4,000 more than the
state paid and that he has frequently
visited the farm and has never heard
conviets complain Of ill-treatment.
However he said he courted the most
searching investigation. Mr.. Hardage
and Mr.. Josephs protested that moth
ing in the resolution reflects upon the
integrity of Mr. Niven, but that
charges of fraud have been circulated
and the people are entitled to know
the truth.

for consideration. despite the fact that
it cannot be submitted at the next
election, three others having preceded
1t. Friends Of the measure believe
that an endorsement from the legisla-

WHAT \ GOVERNMENT noND is

THE government OF the United States
has two methods of raising money.
Our is hy taxation The other is by
the sale of bonds, which is a method of
borrowing money.
The government bond is the printed
promise of the government to pay
back the borrowed sum of money at
u certain tiwo, ami 90 pay interest on
it at regular intervals uutil il is paid,
The government borrows money In
this way only after it has been given
the right to do so by act OF congress
approved by the president and the
terms of the loan are set out in the
act.
Back of the promise of the govern
ment stands the honor Of the govern
ment and all it's taxing resources,
Really the whole wealth of the nation
stands behind this solemn promise OF
the government to pay.
This makes the United States gov
ernmcnt bond the safest investment in
the world If the bond OF the United
States government is not safe, no
property i'm the United States is safe.
If the United States can not pay it's
bonds, it is hardly probable that it
will Ice able to protect the citizens in
their other rights.
The Liberty Loan Bonds Of 1917 are
especially attractive investments. Not
only have they this absolute safety
characteristic Of all United States
bonds. but they are tax free not only
from all existing taxes but from any
war tax that may subsequently be
levied. No state, city nor county may
tax them The Inheritance tax OF the
United states and of some states may
affect them, or, rather affect their
transfer after death of the owner by
win or by inheritance.
Another advantage these Liberty
Loan Bonds possess is that II the gov
crnmcnt issues bonds later on during
the war at a higher rate of interest
the holders of Liberty Loan Bonds
will he allowed to exchange at par
their bonds for bonds bearing the
higher rate of interest Buy Il BOND.
