 This enterprise is of the sort that, if properly supported, will do as much as any one or several things to adver- tise Polk county and Polk county's advantages to the world.
 It is pulling together that brings results, and this cooperative town advertising is nothing less. It will bring splendid results in which the en- tire county will share.
 And The Star will be bigger, bet ter and more useful paper because it truly represents more people.

TnE NEED oF PUBLICITY.

Governor Brough has, by his veto defeated an effort of the recent iegls- lature to repeal what is commonly known as the publicity act"
 There is some interesting reading in the proclamation issued with the veto. as published in this issue. Read 1t.
 In Polk county for some time past this law has practically been a dead letter. chiefly because no one has made 1t his business to see 1t IS en- fcrced. The same is true of the city of Mena and the Mena Waterworks district. It may be true, in the future of other improvement districts if no one takes interest in the matter.
 It is no reflection upon any official, commissioner or otherwise, to say that the people--and that includes every body that pays taxes and has part in the government--have right to know what is being done with the public funds. And that is the purpose of the publicity act" and is the reason that the people of Arkansas and of Polk county and Meno--voted to enact 1t.
 Following out this theory, then, 1t would seem that Governor Trough was fully within safe and sane lines in his veto action.
 But the governor brings out anoth- CT feature that is even more import ant--the right of the legislature to abrogate n law initiated and adopted by the people. as was the publicity act.
 It would seem not inappropriate at this time to call attention to the fact that all the world is more or less fear ing Bolshevism and anarchy. Much of the world is in throes of agony be- cause of it's reign, and many a states man is studying the situation with a view to checkmating their spread.
 The great cause behind the condi- tion that menaces the world is the fact that many people are coming to the belief that the majority does not, ir fact, rule And if the people of Ar kansas, we would say, after having by majority vote, provided means tc keep enlightened as to how theil business is handled, or for any other pnbiic purpose, and then saw that law abrogated by small number, il would be a good excuse for an upris ing against the ones who thus thwart' ed their will. It would breed Bolshe- yisln.
 Again, Bolshevism found fertile soil in Russia and in Germany be- cause, first, the people had been long oppressed and denied part in the af' fairs of government, and, second, be cause, thru lack of education and oi knowledge of affairs of government and forms of government, and the rights and powers of suffrage, they fell easy victims to teachings of vio- fence and devastation.
 And, just as those countries over there were cosy victims because of op precision and ignorance, thu people oi the United States will resist the pro paganda because they are accustomed Co freedom and to having voice ir affairs of government. and because thru means provided, they know more of such affairs-are better educated.
 1t would seem, then, that the pub ficity act, as placed on our statute books by our people. should be re- vived in Mena and Polk county, hotf because it is the will of the majority and because it is a safeguard against unrest. suspicion and dissatisfaction Go say nothing of check against carelessness or other faults of public

little room in the past that We could

our local dealers required If we put
an addition on Liberty Hall it will
cost more than the added space will
bring, but the Little Rock Automobile
Show has never been a money max
ing enterprise.
"There are more dealers in Little
Rock this year than ever. and We
have had quite an addition to our
truck and tractor trade. Last year
we had the trucks and tractors in 4
tent. and it was unsatisfactory. We
did not have room for them all even
at that, and this year our own deal
ers are demanding more space, SO we
are forced beyond the present limits
of Liberty Hall, and this will insure
the automobile approaching public a
show equal to any held outside of Chi

PAIGE COMP ANY
ALSO TO BUILD
PLANS HAVE BEEN DRAWN FOR
BUILDING f4ox1oo BUT LocA-
TON is YET TO BE
DECIDED.

Although the location for the build
ing has not yet been selected, the
Paige company Of Arkansas is having
plans drawn for a modern salesroom
and garage to be erected in the early
spring in Little Rock. Frank L. Reed,
president of the company, visited a
number of recently erected buildings
in Detroit, Chicago and st. Louis in
order to get ideas for incorporation
in his building.
The building will have a frontage
Of 100 feet and will be 140 feet deep,
with salesroom on two sides, per-
hitting quite a large display. The
Paige company will by the time the
building is completed be getting more
cars than at present and display
will be possible. Under present con-
ditions cars are sold long before they
are received and no display is possi-
bic, for they never reach the sales
room.
Little Rock is developing two auto
mobile trade eenters, one on Main
street and the other on Center and
Spring streets. Mr. Reed has nego-
tiattons on for property in both dis
triots, but has as yet closed neither
of them.
