Following is the report OF the reso-
lutions committee, read by Secretary
Carter and presented BY c. A. Fuller,
chairman:
The democracy of Arkansas In
convention assembled unreservedly
commends the administration of our
Industrious president Woodrow Wilson
and points with pride to our great
cbieftain as a matchless leader OF
world democracy.
1--WE heartily endorse the official
acts of our senior senator, Joseph #
Robinson, now a candidate for re-
election, incorporating the president in
all his war measures. and We COM
mend the attitude oGboth of our SEN
ators and our seven congressman in
supporting the national administra-
ton in the mobilization of the men
and resources Of our nation
I'VE heartily endorse the patriotic
lofty and businesslille administration
OF our distinguished governor, Charles
H. Brough, who has placed the state
upon sound financial basis and as
sured the cashing OF state warrants
at par
I'VE commend the epoch making
educational and social measures rec
commended by our governor and en-
acted by the last general assembly,
which has resulted in the extension of
the efficiency OF our public school
system and in the proper care of the
unfortunate wards of our state free
from any political influence.
I'VE endorse the proposition Of
placing the higher educational insti
tutions OF our state including the
state university and all the agricul-
tural schools, upon a millage basis so
arranged as not to increase the tax
alton and at the same time 10 insure
| these institutions continued efficiency
without the necessity OF lobbying and
making political trades
L
Of the internal fabrics OF Our state is
a necessary war measure. and rec
ognizinea tina the Declaration Of In
dependence and The constitution Of
the United States, our two most i'm
mortal documents. were framed dur
ing times Of stress and war. we en-
dorse the acts of the last general as
semely in calling a constitutional con-
vention; and We believe that the con
stitution being framed by the able and
patriotic members of the present con-
stitutional convention along progress
sive and constructive lines should re-
ceive the endorsement at the polls By
the electorate Of our state
'Eeali2ing the gross inequalities
that have existed in the assessment
of property in different townships and
counties, we endorse the general idea
OF a township assessment OF property
by local assessors thoroughly familiar
