ALL FIREARMS IN
 HELENA ARE SEIZED
CIRCUIT JUDGE ISSUES ORDER AS RESULT OF RECENT
 RACE TROUBLE

Helena, Oct. 15.-Acting under or ders from Circuit Judge J. H. Jack son, deputies under Sheriff F. F. Kit chen, today completed search of hard- ware stores and other places of busi- ness in Phillips county for firearms and ammunition. In most cases it was found that proprietors and man. agers had boxed their stock of rifles, shot guns, pistols and ammunition and turned them over to the sheriff.
 The order was issed by Judge Jack son in connection with the recent in- surrection of negroes in the lower part of the county
 It was said in authoritative quar- ters today that of the several hun dred negroes held for taking part in the insurrection approximately 100 will be held for trial on charges of murder, accessory to murder, rioting and melting riot The evidence again. st them, it is said, is very strong. Trial of the alleged insurrectionists will be held at the coming term of the Phillips Circuit Court, which con- venes next Monday.

to the low assessment of the lands they knew that class of road could not be built, so they decided to make the gravel surface 10 feet and in- structed the Engineers to make their estimate on that basis, which amount ed to $50, ,20S. and by adding-the in- terest necessary to retire that amount of bonds would be a total cost of SIPS 100000 which would take a rate of 75 per cent for the first zone, 60 per cent for the second zone and 45 per cent for the third zone, making due allowances for lands which was overlapped by other road Districts.
 Now, MT. Best, you can clearly see that this requires rate approximate ly two times what you would try to have the people believe the road could be built for.
 Now I would be glad for Mr. Best to tell the people how he intends to pay for the construction of road that takes 75 and 45 per cent of the assessed valuation, when he proposes to levy rate of only 30 per cent?
 l can tell you this much for your consolation. If your land was assess ed as it should be, and as the law requires, you could build on 20 per cent basis; but the low assessment is no fault of the commissioners; that fault rests with the people themselv- es and the assessing boards of the various townships, and until THEY learn to regard their oathe and du- ties, this same state of affairs will continue to exist. Again he laments the fact that the people have not been heard in this matter Let me in- form you that I am possessed of the information that the people have been heard in this matter, and I am sure you will be surprised when I impart to you the nature of the hearing.
 On the 25th of September, as you well know, was the day set by the Commissioners to receive protests against the assessment of benefits, as previously made. There came for ward, goodly number, some protest ing against the rate, some against the law, some against the Commissioners and others against everything. But To, and behold, there were altogether but about 15 per cent of the assessed valuation of the district filing any protest at all, so it seems that about 85 per cent of the property owners wanted this road built, and were will ling to pay the rate of assessment

THINKS MIR. BEST IS
 TRYING TO KILL ROAD
TAXPAYER ASKS SOME POINTED QUESTIONS IN REGARD re
 THE CORD ROAD

To the Editor Newark Journal Your issue of the 2nd carries an ar ticle from Cord, of date Sept. 29, and signed Ngood roads booster" and your issue of the 9th, carries an article from Dota, signed by A. T. Best, both of which have reference to Road Im provement District No. 3.
 If you will allow me space in your paper and bear with me for short time, 1 will try in my humble way to enlighten these two good roads advo cates and other interested parties in some of the facts with reference to this Newark to Cord Road.
 In the first place, both seem to be opposed to the law creating the dis trict, from the standpoint of the peo- pie not having a say in it's creation. This matter was inagurated through notice given in The Journal, during the regular session of the Legisla- ture for this year, calling meeting at. the Mayors office in the town of Newark for the purpose of discussing good roads. At this meeting, there being some twenty-five or thirty present, the matter of building road from Newark to Cord, and one from Newark to Paroquet Bluff was decid- ed upon, and the commissioners for both roads were elected at that meet ing and the chairman selected a com mittee of two to go to Little Rock, have a bill drawn creating both dis triets and request our Senator and Representative to introduce the same and procure it's passage.
 Now if these gentlemen will take the time to read Act No. 537 of the Acts of the last regular session of the Legislature, they will be convinced that 1t is workable document, one under which good road can be built, and similar to many others passed at the same session creating road improvement districts in other counties of the State, many of which are today under construction.
 Second. One of these advocates commends, while the other condemns the Commissioners. Messrs. Fields, Harrington and Fortune were named in the bill as commissioners, and when the Act became law, they qualified and have honestly and con-

necessary to build th.s road, and too, MT Best, it seems that this 85 per cent believed that the Commissioners needed this levy, else they, the com missioners would not have asked for it.
 Good roads would be the biggest thing that can happen for the coun- try today, and we will realize more and more every day the need of them, but we will never build one mile of good roads in this country by knock ing. It is mans job and not a knockers job. It takes money to pro- mote any public enterprise. Hot air, and propaganda will not take it's place. In the case of building good roads, the landed interests have the say as to whether they will stand the tax, while the tenant who rents and cultivates the land has to haul his products to market over mud roads and can't have any say. But just put this matter of building roads on the same basis that the tax for our public schools are on, where the peo pie vote the tax, and see how quick we will have hard surfaced roads all over the state?
 Now, MT. Best if you are in favor of good roads, as you say you are, what difference should it make to you as to how you get it, whether through the supervision of the Coun- ty Court or through the supervision of the State Highway Department, working in conjunction with the Com missioners, as prescribed in this Act?
 Under the act as originally passed, the building of the road was assured, but l fear the plan you have cham pioned will materially prolong con- road. The people who have stood for the construction of the road were will ling for the Commissioners, who were named in the Act, to build it and those who have advocated supervision by the County Court, are the same bunch who have been instrumental in trying to have the Act repealed. So it would seem to me that you believe County Court Supervision is equiva- lent to killing.
 am not afraid of the judge in this matter, because I believe him to be in favor of good roads, and l am sure if it falls to his lot to appoint Continued on Page 6)
The Newark journal., 1919-10-16

scientiously acted as such, under the law. These men were selected as Commissioners to build good road from Newark to Cord and it was their duty to make an honest effort to do so. l would be glad for MT. Best to iafolm the people if he would try to build this same road if he were plac- ed in the position of one Of these Commissioners, whom he persists in condemning?
 Third. Both writers say that they are in favor of Good Roads. "The Booster" has a fair record as such for his boosting, but I must submit a few questions to MT. Best and re- quest his answering before l can place very much confidence in his sin cerity as a good roads booster.
 Will MT Best tell the people how long he has been Good Roads boost CT?
 Tell them whether or not you sign ed petition asking the Special ses- sion of the Legislature to repeal this good road law?
 And you might tell them while you are answering questions if you did no sign protest to the Commission CTS, requesting them to cease work until you could present your petition to the Legislature and have the Act repealed?
 Will you tell the people now what has caused this change or heart?
 We can tell tree by it's fruits and we judge people by their acts, so if Mir Best has placed himself in the attitude of Good Roads Knocker by his acts, the people will not believe him sincere when he says that he is in favor of good roads, unless it be he favors good roads at the other fel- lows expense.
 But I am not satisfied yet. I think Mir. Best ought to tell the people why this sudden change of heart? Is it because of a vacancy to be filled on the board of Commissioners
 Fourth. MT. Best says we know and all the people know that the Com missioners did not need 75 per cent of the assessed value of their farms to build this road. We'll, now let's see, MF. Rest. am pleased to tell you that have been placed in pos session of some facts in this matter and will tly to enlighten you with ref erence to the falsity of your state menc.
 The Commissioners at first con- templated building a gravel surface Is feet wide and requested the Engi- neers to submit their estimate, which was done, showing that it would cost S130, 100000 to build this road. With interests added, this would make the total cost about $210,000.00 Owing

COUNTY DIRECTOR APPOINTED

Joe M. Gray of Batesville has been appointed director for Independence county, to have charge of the Third Annual Red Cross Roll Call which takes place November to II. The object of the roll call this year is not so much to raise tremendous fund as it is to keep the American people enlisted as active members of the America Red Cross. The great pur- pose of the American Red Cross is to serve the American people. Plans for the future call for nationwide ac- tivity for public health, extension of our nursing resources, greater facili- ties for disaster relief and to fulfill whatever other public duties may fall upon the Red Cross. The annual membership costs $1, but it is the member that is the greatest import ance-not the dollar.

WOULD PENALIZE STRIKES.

A representative Of the Cattle Rails
ers Association If Texas has appeared
before the Interstate Commerce Com
mittee of the House and urged the
creation Of a Federal board with pow
er to fix wages and working condi-
tions, and the enactment OF legisla-
tion that will insure the public unin-
terrupted transportation. He would
fix fines and Imprisonment as thepen-
atty for threatening tie-ups or attemp
ting to interfere with employees at
work. That is precisely what must
be done If the country is to be reliev-
ed from the ever present menace OF
more strikes. Combinations of capt.
tai in restraint of trade have been un
lawful for years, and there is no rea-
son in justice why combinations Of
labor in restraint Of trade should not
be subject to the same penalties. The
public suffers from one as from the
other-in fact combinations of labor
bear a greater potential danger to the
com nunity than the former. Un'
necessarily high prices is the princi-
pal charge brought against the abuse
of the power or capital, but complete
stoppage Of production is what we
are threatened with by labor unions.
1t will be a sad day for this country
when 1t admits its helpIessness when
confronted by labor's demands. The
peril must be met with.a firm stand
on the part Of the Government, and
the question settled as to whether the
nation is to be delivered over into the
hands of a small minority of its citi-
zens,
