The Light and Water
 Question.

A special meeting of the City Council was held last night to con- slider and pass upon the application of the Arkansas Light and Power Company for an increase in water and light rates to be charged the citizens of Newport. H. c. Couch, the president of the company, and o. P. Moss appeared on behalf of the company, and Ira J. Mack was pres ent for himself and other consumers. Quite large number of citizens were present, considering the short notice had of the meeting.
 The company presented for the first time written application for a change in it's contract with the peo- pie, passing it's plea for cancella- tion of the contract and for higher rates on the ground of increased cost of operation of the plants. There was also presented to the peo- pie an audit of the books of the com pany as kept at it's office in Pine Bluff. It seems that no audit or check has been made of the books here, nor of the operations of the company here.
 It will be remembered by our read CTS that in May, 1915, the company purchased the electric light plant from c. H. Hamel and associates. MT. Hamel had franchise which was to run for twenty years from Sep , tember 7, 1912. On May 10, 1915, an extension of this franchise to fifty years was secured and it was stipu- lated that the city should not have the right to change the rates as then fixed, and which are the prenent rates, for a period of twenty years, or not until the year 1885. The company purchased the water plant from A. N. Walker and associates in Febru- ary, 1917. It will thus be seen that

the company entered Newport after the present world war had started, and it's largest acquisition, the water plant, was only eighteen months ago.
 MT. Couch presented the conten- tions of his company, based on the audit of their Pine Bluff records, and stated that if a raise in prices was not granted that poor service might be expected and fire losses an ticipated. He said that there had been an increase of 100 per cent in the price of fuel and of 25 per cent in the price of labor. He also stated that the increase asked for by the company would amount to only five or six thousand dollars, but later amended it by saying it might reach
 5,600. He was of the opinion that the people would complain at first of this added cost, but they would soon get used to it and there should be no objection raised to the proposed in- crease; that it would be better to pay it than to have their property destroyed by fire on account of lack of water pressure.
 On behalf of citizens and consum- CTS it was urged that the following items appearing in the audit furnish ed by the company and for which they asked credit as expenses, should not be considered nor charged as such, viz:
 Discounts and allowances --$1 ,641.87 Amount paid for death of
 Dodson -------- 1,5O0.OO Attorney fee in connection with
 Dodson claim ------------- 5UU.UU General office expense----- 1,635.9e 5 per cent depreciation on

ASKS THAT PRICE OF
 COTTON BE FIXED AT NOT
 LOWER THAN THIRTY-FIVE

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Sept. 24.-Secretary of State Tom J. Terral has sent the following letter to President Wilson:
 May I not suggest that the price of cotton be fixed at a rate not low CT than thirty-five cents. l urge this, MT. President, because the cost of production and marketing cotton is extremely high, and 1 doubt if the farmers could make any profit at rate lower than I have suggested.
 .This year we have suffered from a drouth that has almost ruined our cotton crop, and I fear that if the rate is fixed lower than thirty-five cents it will mean very serious loss to the farmers of the south"

 In Palestine and Macedonia and in France allied offensives are pro- gressing satisfactorily. On the Med iterranean coast of Palestine British cavalry has occupied the ports of Haifa and Acre, marking an ad- vance just north of Jaffa of more than sixty miles since the present operations were begun. The rout of the Turks in the area west of the Jordan river has compelled the Turks east of the river to retreat, closely pursued by allied forces.
 In Central Macedonia the allies are pressing their advantages won. The Germans and Bulgarians are re- tiring on hundred mile front. The allies have reached the Vardar river northeast of Monastir on front of more than ten miles, and the Ser bians have already crossed the river in pursuit of the Bulgarians.
 On the west front Haig has taken a new step in the investment of St. Quentin, and is fighting toward the northern outskirts of German stronghold from east of Vermand.
 Activity on the French front is confined to artillery duels.
 In Palestine the number of Turks taken prisoners will exceed largely the 25,0O0 already reported.

these.
A national evil requires n national
remedy. Our Interstate relations n
the Inherent vicious character Of the
trafic make II n national evil The al
coholic may drink liquor In n state
and commit crime or become a public
charge In another. The remedy must
be as ~far-reachinR as the evil. State
boundaries are not adequate barriers

less In such matters, should be per-
mltted 10 dump lis DRINKS and other
derellcts owe the border line for a
nelghboring state 20 rare for.
Il will result In team work between
the state and nation In dealing with
the liquor trafic. The dry states arc
handicapped In their effort 10 enforce
prohibition ns long as the federal GOV
eminent continues 20 collect revenue
from, and recognizes the ~outlawed-trnf-
&c In, such states. National prohibit
tlon unites the state and federal gov
eminent In a common policy for the
public good.
The purposes OF the federal govern
ment can be more easily consummated
under national prohibition. one Of the
fundamental purposes Of the federal
constitution IL ito promote the general
welfare" The courts tell US this means
to protect public health and public
morals. The liquor trafic undermlnes
or destroys both. We cannot carry out
