 Ashdown Arkansas.
 Gentlemen:
 The Board of Commissioners for Water Works District have had num- crous complaints With reference to the water not being as fresh in the mains as it should be. This is caused by different things. among which can be mentioned the fact that We have a larger system than the present ncces- sites of the city require, and large supply of water must be kept on hand at all times in the elevated reservoir and in the surface reservoir. for fire protection If we should continuously flush the mains and thereby decrease the amount of water on hand in these tanks we might be caught with a disastrous fire with very little water on hand.
 We desire to call your attention to another very important reason. Through our Engineer and Supcrin- tendent and GIT Board, We have E-26e a careful survey and investigation with reference to the number Of water sew CTS on tie city lines. We Gad tAs$ there are over 100 residences in taa city, and that only about 140 of them are connected with tAe c,ty water water works, so you ean sec t!2at only oEc-third of the people O. tae town are using city water. If the city Council and the Beard of Health would pass the necessary regulations and ordinances to force the residents of the city to connect with tie sewer then they would be compelled to use the water, and this would use enough water to give everybody fresh water at all times.
 We desire to further cali your at tcntion to the fact that alter the water works were instsilled the scavcnger system which had been kept up for some years was abandoned, and no scavenger work is now being done; and cGns equently, the sanitary condi- ton of the city is in the worst shape it has ever been in This is not fair to the citizens of our town; neither is it fair toward those who are pay ing the taxes and who have installed the water and sewer accommodation.
 It is not within the power Of the Water Works Commissioners to force these connections witli the sewer. 1t is a matter which is wholly up to the Council and the City Board O. Heg lth, if the city has a Board of Health and if it has no Board of Health it is the duty of the mayor to appoint one.
 We desire to call your attention to tLc fact that We have served without compensation and have given a great deal of our time to this matter, and tried to install a good system. We now ask the cooperation of the Council and the Board oi Health in this matter.

CANADIAN AND AMERICAN BONDS

Canadas population IS to that of
the r. S. A. is to l..
Yet Canada has issued and sold
$500, 100000 Of her bonds.
Canadas wealth per capita is small
er than that of the L. S a. Yet the
ada is about to put another on the
market with confidence that it will be
taken quickly.
If the L. S. A. were TO match Can
ada's loans comparing population, per
capita wealth, amount Of loans, the
people of this country would buy 81
900, 0O0,0 900 worth of liberty bonds in
stead Of delaying subscription OF So
O00 900, 900 worth.
The way to relieve the comparison
Of it's odium is to snap up the liberty
bond issue and have it over with.
Canadas experience is that the war
loans did not cause a shrinkage OF de-
posits, as some Of the larger financial
institutions feared. The money came
back. The government paid it our al
most at once to manufacturers, and
they paid it back into the banks.
The money that will be paid into the
war loan for this country and to be
loaned to the allies will not go out Of
the country. 1t will be spent here.
1t will come back at once to the usual
channels Of trade. The distribution OF
it will be as widespread as their farms,
for vast sums of it will be expended
at once for foodstuffs for the support
of armies here and abroad. The farmer
can afford to take the liberty loan free
ly, for it is to be paid back to him.
The banker can take 1t because it is
to come back from farmers and mer
chants and manufacturers to his safe
keeping. AS matter Of fact they
-!"s: take ii.
Moreover here is a. thing for farmers
and business men and those who are
to receive direct benefits from the ex-
penditure of billions in emergency
when necessity makes the price--if It
isn't paid thru the bond issue it will
be paid thru taxation. II is a question
for them to consider whether they
prefer to make a perfectly safe invest
ment on low interest, to loan money
that will come back or pay the cost in
taxes. in short, whether they choose
to pay the cost OF the war in taxes, OF
| whether they will have the assistance
OF generation OF taxpayers to pay
Off the capital sum. or whether they
will pay 1t out Of hand themselves.
And another Canadian experience:
the installment plan of purchase 81

small bonds by workers ana salaricd

small bonds by workers ana ealaricd
persons arranged thru employers has
proved itself. When manufacturers
and producers are busy the wage
workers are busy also. Thousands Of
workmen have bought 500 dollar bonds
and are saving for the new issue. It
is in it's way a process of saving. The
bond is safe as old wheat in the bin.
1t brings the money whenever the
holder cares to sell it. If he has not
paid out the full price for 1t he can get
his money back and small bonus
whenever he wants it. And many are
investing because of the safety saving
feature of the bond as well as from
desire TO do their bit for the govern
ment And to them as to the weather.
manufacturer and producer the aues-
ton comes will help thus or pay IN
taxes on articles of necessity?
For the governments will get the
money in Canada and in the Y. S.'A.
They must have it and will get it If IT
exists. It can not hide so securely
that they will not seek it out. Fish
or cut bait.

PULL TOGETHER, BOYS

A controversy took place on the flool
Of the house of representatives al
| Washington last week between Con
sressmen Good and Green, both Of
| Iowa, which should he ironed out anG
harmonized for Iowa wants its delesa
| ton standing together on important is
sues. Judge Green had worked with
other members on the committee which
had framed war revenue bill and the
house was tearing the bill to pieces by
amendments. Very naturally the mem
bers OF the committee felt peeved at
the process. Judge Green included.
The committee bin was largely a
tan Of consumption. Taxes were to fall
upon gas bills electric light and tele-
phone bills, upon newspaper and mag
azines upon imports, automobiles,
pianos and Photographs. upon small in :
comes and stamp taxes were TO be
levied. Among various amendments
Congressman Good proposed from the
floor 10 adopt the principle Of the
English system of taxing war profits.
Great Britain today raises as much from
war profits and from incomes as TO the
total amount of revenue provided for in
the house committee bill over there
they take so per cent of all profits
earned in excess Of an average profit
during any two Of the three years be-
fore the war, The purpose is TO make
the profits arising from war pay for
war. Good sought 10 adopt that princi
pie in the house revenut act.
Judge Green scored his Iowa col
league soundly for proposing an i'm
mature amendment. He argued that the
English law was a ponderous thing in
length and to him after careful study
was sustained and Goods amendmo~.
was defeated but the plan and purpose
expenses should prevail The steel
trust for instance, is earning twenty
times the profit this year that it earn
ed before the war. The Dupont powder
concern is earning twenty times the
profits out Of war that it earned in
peace. list of twenty SIX such cor
poration has been shown to enjoy half
a billion Of war profits in excess o.
their normal profits before the war. II
is right that war taxes should CONF
from war profits and if the law is diff
cult to draft Judge Green should see to
it that his committee at least make an
effort to adopt the principle Of taxing
war profits for war. Congressman Dow
ell. Of Dcs MoIncs, refused - vote for

were too many taxes % fall upon thF.

large war profits and hope to keep

! Lord help the man. who thru acct

gains exemption from military duty
and endeavors to dodge any important
part of his duty to the men at the

help.
For the first and most vital duty is
toward the country and the men who
are to spend their early and best years,
suffer the hardships of actual conflict
and risk and lose their lives in our
defense. Lord help the man at home
who attempts TO evade his duty and
deny his obligation. big or little, in the
stern days that are at hand-for he
will need help.
For the pleading Of today is to be-
come the demand of tomorrow and the
