NOW IS A FINE time FOR
LEADERS 70 Be CONSISTENT

Writing in last weeks Walnut
Ridge Times Dispatch, L. B. Poin-
dexter, chairman of this district
for the sale of Liberty Bonds, said:
Permit me to suggest to one
and all that no man or woman
should solicit the sale of a bond
until he or she has taken their
fair proportion, and would stand
for no person to solicit me to pur-
chase bonds who had not them
selves done their duty. | would
not hear a speaker who had not
himself done his duty"
Tie Record has it on what 1t
considers is good authority that
there is man in Sharp county
who has been very prominently
connected with Liberty Loan sales
in an official capacity, who does
not really own Liberty Bond
himself. Such men are not quail
fled to become leaders in patriotic
movements, and should not be al
lowed to appear before the public
as authorized representatives Of
! the government.

RE.ASSESSMENT IN ROAD DIS
TRICT UPHELD IN COUNTY COURT

On Thursday of last week Judge
W, I. Horn upheld a re-assessment
Of property In Improvement dis
| trict No. /. The commissioners Or
ieinally intended to issue 20.year
bends for the purpose of building a
road In this district, but later de-
cided to issue 10-year bonds. This ne.
cessitated a re-assessment of taxes
against the real estate of the dis
trict. and has the effect Of doubling
the yearly assessment upon each
individual land owner.
There Is a great deal of criticism
of this action Of the commissioners,
and there are threats that the mat.
ter will be carried to a higher
court.
The Record Is not advising the
commissioners or crticising them,
but we do know that this road will
never be bulk In secret and with.
out the cooperation Of those who
are interested In the matter. No
doubt without any real intention ol
keeping information from the pub.
lie the commissioners have pro.
ceeded with the road proposition In
a way that has left the general
public In the dark, The public
does not know II the bonds have
been sold, aud how. The public
does not know II a contract has
been let for the work, and how. In
all iriendliDess, we submit to the
commissioners that 1t has been @
long time since they were appoint
ed, and the road seems yet alal
OIL We guarantee that the people
interested In the road will be better
satisfied with the whole matter
when they are acquainted with the
causes of the delay aud know the
exact status Of affairs, They al,
entitled to know these things, aud
a great deal Of trouble will end
when ''ey do know them,

LONDON PAPER
 SAYS POOR ARE
 HEAVIEST TAXED

London, April 23-The budget intro duced in the house of commons yes- terday by Andrew Bonar Law, chan cellor of the exchequer, the Daily Mail says, will be popular, but it does not go far enough. The heaviest taxes, it adds, are placed on very small class who will not complain and the newspaper is confident that the mass of wage earners would not re- sent a graduated tax on weekly wages.
 'The practical worknnanlike budget seems to justify Bonar Laws op- timism concerning our ultimate SOL vency," says the Daily Chronicle.
 The income tax, the News believes could have been increased and adds:
 '.It is a wonderful testimony to the resources of the nation that we stiK are able to finance c'7-selves after fnancing the Allies for three years.
 The Times believes the estimated reserve will prove to be considerably within the mark.

SCOvILLE WILL. STOP BOARDING
 OF POTATOES

The following letter on the potato situation has been issued by Federal Food Administrator Robert Scoville of Connecticut to al local food direc- tors:
 Every effort is being made to see that potatoes remaining on the farms move freely to the markets from now untH June 1. If a large consumption of potatoes is to be effective, it will be necessary that they shall be han dled by wholesalers and retailers with a very narrow margin of profit. We have appealed to the dealers of this state and have every reason to be lieve that we will receive their co-op- eration. If in your community there are any dealers who are unable to obtain supplies or who are charging excessive prices, please notify this of fee promptly.
 "This potato campaign is vita1y as- sociated with the wheat conservation movement and we hope that you will use your best endeavors to promote the consumption of potatoes by any means possible"
