SERVICE
 MEN TO INSPECT
 NEW POWER LINE
Demand For Electricity Compels Increase in Ca
 pacity Line to Lonoke.

H. c. Couch, president of the Ark ansas Public Service company, which recently acquired control of the Pine Bluff company, will head party to leave here this morning for trip thru the section and to the communities to
 be served by the high power line be- ing constructed from Pine Bluff to Sherrill, England and Lonoke. Ac companying MT. Couch will be Vim. Crooks, chief engineer, and w. F. Moody, business manager, of the Ark ansas Public Service company; Minor Q. Woodward, manager of the Pine Bluff company; Otto Christ and J. A. Emery, representatives of New York banking house. MT. Emery is an en- gineer. The party will return to Pine Bluff tonight, and tomorrow will visit Dewitt and Stuttgart, where are To- cated other properties of the Arkansas Public Service company.
 The builders of the high tension power line from Pine Bluff to Lonoke have been given practical demonstra- tion of the progressiveness of the peo- pie of the section to be served by the lne by their eagerness to adopt cleo tricity as motive power. Tho the line is far from completed, so many appli- cations for service have been made that the capacity of the line has been increased over the original plans, and indications are that even the larger capacity will be fully needed to meet the demand for electricity that will follow completion of the line. More than a dozen cotton gin owners have already contracted for service, and practically all other industrial plants and mercantile establishments in the towns to be reached will be electrical ly-operated and electrically-lighted when the power is turned on the new llne.
 They declare that the business con- tracted for already has been nothing short of remarkable, and they do not know of another instance where the amount of business contracted for has made it necessary to increase the ca pacity of proposed line before it had been completed.

REVENUE FAILURE.

Increasing imports and decreasing
revenues from import duties is the
continuous record of the Democratic
tariff law.
The average rate Of duty on all i'm
ports for the first seven months OF the
fiscal year 1917, July, 1916, to Janu-
airy, 1917, fell just a trif1e below 8
per cent. On imports totaling $1,34S,-
265,OOO we received customs revenue
amounting to but 1913 563. That
was an increase in the value Of i'm
ports over the first seven months OF
the fiscal year 1913, under protective
tariff, OF 1852 100000 Gan increase at
the rate of $36,O0O,000 a monthly and
decrease in the amount Of revenue
collected at our ports Of $4,000, 900.
When Secretary McAdoo estimated
customs receipts for 1917 at $230.OO0,.
600 he believed the estimate very con.
sentative. 1t now looks as if his csti-
mate would be $30OO0,C00 too great,
and that the revenue from this source
will be not less than S120,O0O,00O short
Of the amount received in Republican
times

FRAZIER 0. KS SUNDAY
BASEBALL AND ASKS BOYS
TO PLAY FAIR WITH A|n !.
Governor Hopes Game Will Be
Kept Clean Predicts Refer
endum Otherwise


Governor Frazier made himself ace
high with the great American kid yes
terday by signing Senator Hamilton's
famous "137." legalizing Sunday base
ball "for fun as the governor eX-
pressed it, and in doing so the chief
voiced the hope that the "boys" will
play fair with him and keep the game
clean and above reproach, especially on
Sunday. o "1S~
Senate bill 137 provides that it shall
not be unlawful to play baseball on the
afternoon Of the Sabbath, providing no
charge is made for admission, and that
the diamond is not located within 500
yards of any house Of worship. There
is nothing in the bill which prevents
the taking up of a free-will offering or
the acceptance of contributions. for
the good of the cause, The law does ex-
pressly prohibit teams from playing for
a purse or for gate receipts, but 1t does
not prevent the home team from paying
the visiting team a stated sum to meet
travelling expenses and etceteras.
3H''Now that the boys have their Sun
day baseball" said Governor Frazier
today. Il hope they will keep it clean.
1t is dependent on them to do so, for
If they do not l am very certain from
what I have learned that an effort
will be made to repeal this act by
referendum" ....".
This is the last Of several Sunday
bills which created somewhat Of a
fllrore in the fifteenth assembly. All
Of the bills except one lega1izing Sun
day shooting passed both houses, and

ton with the federal post roads a1d'
are ungrounded.
The chief executive, who is some
thing of a good roads enthusiast, thor
oughly endorsed the movement when
he signed House Bill 22S, as $4,000
is rather husky appropriation to
pass by when governor is pairing
the states budget down to the very
bone, even at the expense of more or
less necessary and desirable additions
to educational institutions.
Governor Frazier believes that
through the cooperation of counties
located on such transcontinental high
ways as the Red Trail, the Wonderland
Trail, the Meridian, the Black Hills
and the Yellowstone trails, with the
aid which will he available from this
$4,000 jackpot, and the ten percent
Of all revenues from automobile reg
istration fees, whose expenditure is
placed entirely in the hands of the
state highway commission will be in
position to meet the demands made
connection with the cooperation
which it tenders.
The fund provided for by House
Bill 24S will be available for use in
counties through which a trunk-line
highway is being built, but whose re-
ceipts from automobile licenses and
revenues from other sources are not
sufficient to meet their share of the
expenses. For instance, in the case
of the Red Trail bridge at Medora,
built by public subscription, had "22S"
been in effect, the state might have
been called on for assistance. The
same will hold true of the building of
trunklines through counties such as
Billings, where automobiles are COM
paratively few, and revenues general
ly not overlarge.

GOVERNOR EXERCISES
VETO POWER AGAIN IN
REJECTING Il. B. 428
Measure Regulating Annexation
of Territory to Special School
Districts

The governor for the second time,
today exercised his veto power in dis
approving House Bill 42S, which re-
lates to the annexation of territory to
special school districts. The bill was
league measure, introduced by Rep
resentative Lazier, providing that ter
ritory more than three miles distant
from the central school could be an
nexed only npon petition Of two-thirds
of the school voters residing in the ter
ritory at greater distance than three
miles,
In his veto message the governor ad-
vises that he disapprOves the bill first
because one provision permits the an
nexing of territory without the con-
sent of persons affected, while another
provision would deprive one of the
states normal schools, not named. but
understood to be the Minot normal, Of
pupils for its training school.

North Dakota's state highway law,
creating highway commission and
diverting to it's use two-thirds Of the
revenues produced from the fee charg-
ed for the registration of motor vehi-
cles, is not altogether satisfactory to
Uncle Sam. In the tI1afnsfit.t a good
bill, but its WEAKNESS lffes III the fact
that actually less than 10 per cent Of
the net revenussg1may Mnsed in state
highway worke NAll Of the remainder,
less expenses of the state highway
commission, must be used in the con.
struction Of roads in the county
whence the fund comes.
T. Warren Allen of Washington, ID.
c., general inspector of the United
States office of public roads, and Dis.
trict Engineer E. o. Hathaway of st.
Paul, who are here to investigate
North Dakota's bodybuilding plans,
with a view to determining how this
states $4,000 slice of the Shackel-
ford federal post roads aid shall be
invested, have pointed out this flaw.
The danger of the present law lies
in the probability that the road funds
will be split so many ways that no
consistent, continued effort at trunk
line highway building will be possible.
If this condition should develop, the
amount of federal aid which the state
could command would be problemat-
ical for it is understood that Uncle
Sam insists on systematic roadbuild-
ing, with some definite trunk-line con-
nection in view, and that he will not
consent to the diffusion of his road
moneys, piece-meal, all over the
state. The fact that only 3 per cent
of the cost of the job is allowed for
inspection would preclude the federal
governments undertaking to aid a
vast number of small projects, as the
allowance for inspection would be al
together Inadequate were the federal
engineer required to travel the length

STRIKE THREATENED.


some concession, the nations high.
ways of commerce will be blocked by
general railroad strike. There is
dual purpose in precipitating crisis
at this time. The employees believe
that the international situation will
force President Wilson to take drastic
steps, even to the expedient Of taking
over the operation of the railroads,
In the second place, the national pre-
dicament, both as regards food sup
plies and general transportation con-
ditions makes it an especially oppor'
tune time for the representatives OF
the brotherhoods, from their view
point to force the issue.
But how about the public?
More than 1O0,0OO,O0O people are
vitality involved in the situation. Pub
lie opinion condemns any move to
force settlement at this time, espe-
cially when the courts are. now deter
mining the validity of the Adamson
eighthour law.
Congress on the eve of general
election was clubhed into passing a
law which since has proved satisfac-
tory to none of the parties. The
brotheFhoods have discovered that
even if the law is upheld, it is a sur
render on their part OF very vital
principle. In the past organized labor
has : stubbornly refused to recognize
the right Of the government TO fix ar
bitrarily wage scales and hours of la
Dor.
The inadequacy of the law from
the labor viewpoint has become more
apparent with the flight of time. Con-
fusion over the manner of its applica.
ton should the court find the Adam
son law valid has further complicated
conditions.
In their haste to force recognition
of the eight-hour princip u with
ten-hour remuneration. the brother
hoods find that it was not victory,
they won by intimidating Congress.
Their attorneys have pointed out that
the law passed is of doubtful value.
AS if anticipating an unfavorable de.
cision, the representatives of the rail
road employees engaged in the actual
operation of the trains evidently have
| decided that resorting to legislative
action is less effective than the ordeal
of strike.
Whether the strike will be called
is only speculative at this time. Sat
urday is the date set, but much can
transpire in the interim Once before
when Congress bowed beneath the
lash of the brotherhood leaders, a
date was set, but no strike was call
ed.
Probably strike is necessary to
demonstrate that none of the parties
to this controversy can afford to ig-
more the common rules of justice.
The law is before the supreme court
and the nation is confronted with a
crisis, the worst since the Civil war
These conditions alone should deter
labor from forcing the issues now.
! Public opinion is militantly opposed
| to a strike at this time and there is
a general feeling that the employees
might have held their demands In
allegiance until after the supreme court
has spoken.
