Enjoying The Present

larger one built after the live
stock have been sold and the
fertility of the land improvish-
ed so that larger crops are no
longer harvested.
Is it not better to provide
comforts while they may be
enjoyed? While the children
are under the parental roof,
while the color of health is on
the face Of the hosekeeper is
the time to provide those things
which make life enjoyable.
Hope and ambition for reward
in the future should not Danish
the reality Of living today. We
should make use of our oppor-
tunities for pleasure and con-
tentment every day.
We should build, beautify,
and embellish and thus prove
ourselves worthy of our trust.
We should not neglect to pro-
vide for the future but while
facilities for enjoyment are
present, we should use them.
By enjoying the present, we
will have greater incentive for
the future. Life is more
than meat and body is more
than raiment."

cent of the people who pay
auto tax would prefer to have
it go into the state and federal
good roads fund, where fright
fully belongs.
There is another source of
revenue that has been neglect
ed for years and has become
a joke with everybody. This
is the free labor on the public
roads, which, in the majority
of cases, is not even serious
enough to be joke.
There are approximately
100000 citizens in the state
subject to road duty. The free
labor sysem of road work
should be abolished and those
subject to road duty should
pay a per capita road tax of
So or 81 per annum. This
would yield a revenue of$6OO,-
600 to 100000 per year. Half
of this amount could be divert
ed into the state and federal
good roads fund, which would
more than take care of the
states part of the appropri-
alton. The remaining half
could then be used in the var
ious road districts whence it
originated, and would accom-
plish better results than all of
the "free labor" that has here
tofore been used on the roads.
If Arkansas is to avail her
self of the great opportunity
that now confronts her by
doing some effective good
roads work there should be no
petty politics in the plan which
must be devised and worked
out by the present legislature.
Arkansas greatest oppor-
tunity to better her roads has
arrived, and an effort to
thwart it or neglect it would
be the worst sort of disloyalty
to the best interests ofthe state.

Gov. Brough recommends
that the state borrow money.
The Governor is a student OF
history and he knows that the
surest way to enslave any peo-
pie is to saddle debt upon them
and he knows that it is fair
weather while using borrowed
funds, but foul weather sets in
when pay day comes around,
and creditors and courts al
ways find n way to collecttheir
principal with usury, attorneys
fees, and costs. 1t was said OF
the Governor before his cleo
ton that he was tax mad. He
denied the charge then, but his
recommendations in this par
ticular seems to indicate that
he is somewhat Indifferent as
to the interest of the tax payer.

hicle, and in addition to this
the owner must pay an annual
license of SO per year.
If the automobile is to pay
special tax, then that tax
should be used for no other
purpose than for building
roads.
An automobile tax should be
a tax to derive money for road
purposes only, and yet under
the present system we see this
money being diverted into
othr funds and used for various
purposes.
1t is estimated that the auto
tax will amount to $250,000for
the state during the year 1917.
This will easily take care Of
the appropriation necessary to
get the government funds, and
there can be no serious OBJ
lection to the plan.
In fact practically everybody
will favor t except the county
judges, who went on record
against it at the County Judges
Association at Little Rock last
week and adopted a res
olution favoring a law to
divert all the automobile
tax except one dollar into the
county treasury. But most of
the county judges in Arkansas
face a problem in the matter of
depleted finances and their
chef interest in diverting the
auto tax into the county treas
ury appears to be only mat
ter of giving them more money
with which to meet their coun-
ty expenditures.
This may be good business
from the judges point of view,
but we believe that go per

Get State and Federal
Good Roads Money

One of the most important
matters before the Arkansas
legislature is that of good
roads and The Journal sincere
ly hopes that some practical
plan will be worked out to
give the state the benefit Of the
federal appropriation.
The Legislature must make
an appropriation, and large
one, in order to get the feder-
al aid, but the legislature need
have no fears as to adverse
criticism for their extrava-
gance in making the appropri-
alton.
The people of Arkansas
want good roads and they have
reached the point where they
are willing to pay for building
good roads.
There is available for road
building in Arkansas 81, 300
600 from the government
funds during the next five
years, but in order to get this
money, the state must raise a
like amount.
It occurs to the Journal that
it should be no trouble to raise
this amount, and more, with
out any increase in taxation.
To begin with, we have a
large and rapidly in
creasing source of revenue
from the automobile tax. This
tax is now divided, one half of
it going into the state treasury
and one half into the county
general fund in the county
where the auto is owned.
There is opposition to the
plan to put the auto license
money into the state road
fund, but The Journal cannot
see the consistency of the OPP
position.
If the automobile is to pay
a special tax, then that tax
should most assuredly go into
the road fund. The auto
mobile is subject to taxation as
personal properly, the same as

They had their first sight of the
advancing forces at the bridgehead
and saw coming with the attacking
troops strange monsters which they
never dreamed existed. They were
the great tanks and the people stared

Only $50 Germans were holding the
town and all except few left in the
cellars, withdrew five minutes before
the British entered. With the civil

During the three years of their cap.
tivity the civilians were fed by the
American relief committee. All other
food was requisitioned by the Ger
mans, who placed heavy penalties on
those who concealed any. Many per-
sons served terms in jail for alleged
well-fed, however, owing to the Amer
lean relief corps.
The Germans stripped all the hous-
es OF the town Of their furniture as
soon as they entered, All men of
military age were arrested and sent
to Germany. Women were compelled
to do all manner of work, such as
sweeping streets, washing clothes of
German officers and waiting on Ger
man officers.
The mayor declared that Germany
was actually starving. He said there
seemed to be no doubt That the civil
ians in Germany were undergoing
great hardships.
Among the most interesting of the
refugees was man OF military age
who had hidden in cellar for three
years to escape the Germans and had
been fed by his wife with an extra ra-
ton of food allowed her because she
had a baby. This man is thirty-five
years old; and in the ordinary course
would have been arrested and sent
to prison camp as soon as the Ger
mans entered the town. He did not
want to leave his wife and baby so
he hid in secret place in the cellar,
thereby making himself liable to the
death penalty if detected. German
officers came to live in his house,
and daily he heard them tramping
above him. His house, and all 9TH
ers, were searched every little while
to see if anyone was concealed. But

guns at this point. They permitted
the enemy to advance to within 1000
yards of the line before they opened
fire. Then the machine guns and the
artillery were turned on the enemy
and they were smashed in whitening
storm.
An attack on Marcoxing was at
tempted by the enemy but as in the
former case, they were caught in a
heavy artillery and machine gun fire,
and turned back after suffering Sc

An hour later, another body of Ger
mans advanced ON Noyelles, which
was held by one company of British
troops. Here some of the stiffest
fighting of the battle took place at
close quarters. Both sides rushed up
reinforcements, and for two hours the
battle surged back and forth through
the streets and among the buildings.
1t was melee in which the bayonet
played the principal part. The Ger
mans fought we'll! but they were not
good enough to withstand the fury OF
the British assault and gradually they
were forced back over the canal to

Among the prisoners taken by the
British were some officers caught in

regimental commander was captured,

into the British line was particularly
