Hard SurfacIng Square

The improvement asked to be done by the creation of Improve ment District No. 4 contemplates the hard-surfacing with gravel of all the Court Square and of all of the streets radiating from it for distance of one block, and that part of First street running from Main street to the depot
 This would give us hard sur faced street all the way from the depot to any part of the business section of the town. Should we ever be able to asphalt the streets we have the proper foundation ready.
 The advantages of the project are almost toe numerous to men, tlCn. among them being the elim- inatlon of dust and dirt from the business houses of the town, the saving of damaged goods. better health conditions, increased val ue of all property in the town and an attractive appearance of that part of the town through which all visitors must come to reach any part of the city.
 ClarksviIle on our east is making a successful bid for a part of cur natural patronage and has out stripped us in modern advance ment. Fort Smith on the west IS big enough to be a formidable business rival. We cannot af- ford to become a wide place in the road bet tween these two towns.
 The cost of the project is esti- mated at approximately $5. 900. which is about7 mills on the dol lar of the assessed valuation of the town. If the petition is signed by those holding major ity of the property of the town the Council will then appoint a board of assessors who will as- sess the cost in proportion to the benefits to be derlved. It is thought those owning property surrounding the square and fronting on the improvement should pay 40 per cent; those liv- ing in the nearby residence por- tion 30 per cent; those in the mid dle residence district 20 per cent: and those on the outer edge of the town 10 per cent of the cost. All should pay something for all will be benefited.
 Improvements of this nature costs nothing for the reason that even before the improvement is completed adjacent property has enhanced in value to an amount that is greater than the cost.
 Yours truly,
 l.. M. GUTHRIE. Mayor.

Federal Commission in Re

That Manufacturers Be
Allowed to Fix Prices.
RESALE PRICES
SHOULD BE HELD

Kansas Would Enlist c.

of Agriculture.

| Washington. July 12-Renewed
| recommendation that manufacturers
| be permitted by law to fix and main
tain resale prices. subject to review by
| a disinterested agency. was made by
| the federal trade commission today in
a special report to congress. Existing
laws which have been interpreted by
| the supreme court in the case against
Colgate & Co, and in other test cases
| to prevent fixing of resale prices should
be amended, the commission believes
with view to removing the present
complexity in the business world, to
promoting the efficiently of manufac-
turing and commercial institution and
to serving the interests of the consum-
ing public.
Under the commissions recon-
mendation, first advanced in a report
to congress last December. manufac-
turers desiring to fix and maintain re-
sale prices would file with an agency
TO be designated by congress, descrip
tions of their articles, contracts of
sales and the price schedules to be
maintained. The disinterested agency
would be charged with the duty, upon
complaint of any dealer or company or
other party at interest" to review the
terms of contracts and prices.
The commissions recommendations,
the report said, were based on the fol-
lowing conclusions:
That producers of identified goods
identified by trade mark or trade prac-
tice-should be protected in their in
tangible property right or good Will.
created through years of fair dealing
and of ssutained quality of merchan-
disc;
That the unlimited power, both to
fix and to enforce and maintain re-
sale prices may not be made lawful
with safety, and
That unrestricted price cutting Is
not in the public interest. and tends
eventually to impair, if not to destroy,
the production and distribution of ar
ticles desirable to the public.
Washington, July 12.-Representa-
tive Campbell, republican, of Kansas,
introduced a bill today proposing that
the agricultural department, interstate
commerce commission and federal
trade commission cooperate ito the
end that the cost of producing. manu-
featuring and transporting food to
consumers be stabilized and reduced
by ascertaining and fixing relations of
cost production, manufacture and
final distribution" Representative Up
shaw of Georgia introduced a measure
directing Secretary Baker to sell sur
plus foodstuffs at such prices as will
most speedily relieve the consumer.

COMMISSIONERS
WORK HARD ON
FINANCE SHEET
Effort of All Day Session
Failed to Show Ability to
Shave Tax Rate Below 33
Mills.

The county's budget for the next
fiscal year must be pruned and cut
if Escambia taxpayers are to escape
the burden of 33 millage assessment.
Clerk Langley Bell warned the board
of commissioners yesterday. An all
day session did not serve to curtail
the mounting cost of the county's ex-
penditurcs and another meeting Will
be held tomorrow in the solons' eff
forts to reduce the budget and the ac-
companying assessment.
Expenditures next year will be alb
normally high, it is claimed, because
of the many improvements to be in
augurated in the brief space of twelve
months. Already the tentative budeet
stands at an approximate $173,375,
with several items yet to be accounted
for. The total embraces $4,000 for
the general fund, $4,000 for the road
and bridge and s17.575 for the fine
and forfeiture fund.
Millage must be assessed to take
care of the S160000 bond issue for
roads and bridges, $4,000 for the ag-
ricultural fund, a millage for the pro-
posed mothers pension law and for
courthouse improvements.
1t has been estimated that a 33
millage assessment will be necessary
TO meet it, but Mr.. Bell has asked for
a 81 mill assessment. This would ne
cessitate a cut of $4,000 in the gem
eral fund, and 5000 in the road and
bridge expenditures as well as other
retrenchments.
Discussion of ways and means to
bring about proposed economical
measures featured a lengthy morning
session.
Commissioner Soderlind was of the
opinion that the board had got to lie
mighty cautions" You can't walk on
the street without being attacked by
taxpayers, he said.
Commissioner McCurdy stated thai
he thought the schools could make
out with two instead of three mills,
but his contention was not sustained.
Commissioner Hardy said he was in
favor of giving the schools every cent
they wanted.
Commissioner McCurdy wanted s10,-
900 additional for his district, number
5, and thought that others might less
en- up in their demands1-
Mr.. SoderIind wanted provision
made for a game warden which he
said was mandatory.

Civil Appropriation Bill Will
Be Refraned to Give Re
turned Soldiers Better Op-
portunity for Rehabilita-
ton.

Washington. July 12.-The daylight
saving law was rescued from repea
today by President Wilson's veto o.
the agricultural appropriation bin. Ar
attempt will be made Monday. how
ever, ii was announced, to repass the
measures, with the daylight repeal in
tact, over the presidential veto. The
president also vetoed the sundry civil
appropriation bill because, he said, by
restricting funds it crippled the work
OF rehabilitating and restoring dis
abled soldiers and sailors to civil life
This measure will be sent back to the
committee for re-framing.
Both important supply bills, CARR
ing millions of dollars urgently needed
in government activities and already
long delayed by failure in the last
congress. must now be re-passed with
out the features to which the presi-
dent objected or re-passed in present
form over his veto by a two-tkirds
vote In both houses. which today
seemed unlikely.
After receiving the presidents veto
MESA ges, the house ordered the sun
dry civil bin sent back to the appro-
priations committee for further con-.
siderations aid voted to take up the
Monday. Republican Leader Mondell
asked unanimous consent to consider
the agricultural bill today, but it was
refused.
Houseopponents of the repeal of the
daylight savings law favored an at
tempt to pass the agricultural bill
over the presidents veto. This would
require a two-thirds vote. The sep
arate house bill for repeal of the day
light law was passed by the house last
month 233 to 1872. after a vigorous
contest. No action was taken on the
house bill in the senate, which instead
added the agricultural rider by a vote
OF So to g.
Senate advocates OF the daylight
law conceded that more than two
thirds of the senate could be mustered
for repeal measure. Amendment of
the law to shorten the time of it's op-
Grafton from April to September in
stead OF March to October, was sug-
gested by some champions of the
measure so as to minimize opposition
