WHO is BEHIND II?

Governor Brough announces that
he will probably call the Arkansas
legislature to convene about July
18th for the consideration of two
propositions. One is the providing
of more revenue to meet the states
expenses. The other is to consider
the matter of again submitting the
new constitution to the people.
We really believe it would be
better to call upon the legislature
to cut down expenses rather than
to provide more revenue, but that
idea is evidently unpopular with
our public officials.
Who is behind this new constitu'
ton movement
In the late legislature the propo.
sition to again submit the constitu'
ton to the people was:narrowly de-
feated, and we found members
whose counties almost unanimously
repudiated the document standing
squarely for re-submission Of the
new constitution.
Where Is Gov. Broueh receiving
his encouragement to again attempt
to force the new constitution upon
the peopleY
Which is suffering the worst fol
the new constitution, the state OF
some Individuals
1t would be interesting to know
just why some politicians cannot lie,
the new constitution rest in the
erave the people prepared for It.

LETTER FROM FRED GAY
Poughkeepsie Young Man An Engineer
In The 30th Division.

Writing from France to relatives,
Fred D. Gay, son Of Judge and Mrs.
J. A. Gay of Poughkeepsie, says:
=. On Sunday, October 2o'
1918, The Ordund, a British trans
port, sailed out Of New York harbor
on her way to war-torn Europe. For
several days previous to her sailing
the crew had been busy loading her
monstrous hull with wares needed
to supply the half-starved and half
clothed populace of England. lhls
cargo contained tons of peas and
hundreds of bales of cotton raise dby
the Southern farmer, Quaker brand
oats, powerful machinery for Euro
pean manufacture, hundreds OF
"spuds." and lots Of condensed milk.
Besides this heavy cargo she con-
tanned about two thousand Ameri-
can soldiers, among whom was your
humble servant.
AS we sailed out of New York
harbor | beheld the Statue OF Liber'
ty for the first time. A great feel
ins came over me as ! gazed upon
that masterful piece Of art, but !
can't form words to tell you about
it. All can say is that the picture
is on my heart and will always be
there, but as my mind is invisible
to others so must the picture be. |
eazed upon the grand old statue as
long as could see it, and as the
last line faded away and ! looked
about to find myself surrounded Tor
miles around with black, rolling
waves | began to wonder If ! would
ever again behold the image that
welcomes the sea-sick traveller to
American shores. Will II Yes, by
Gods help | mean to 60 back some
day, and am glad that the flag
and the statue for which we fought
are still standing, and what they
have bought for US Is going to be
more precious to US now than ever
before. | am proud of dear old
America and all she is to me,
Well, you can imagine about the
kind of feeling | had as the last
vestiee of land faded from sight
and for miles around waves were
eapine toward us as If they would
euIp us up In an instant. The
further out we got the higher the
waves climbed, until, when we were
IL mid.ocean, they climbed up to
the height Of mountains Geel but
1t was something thrilling to behold
Sometimes would pinch myself tc
see II 1t was the same boy that U.S.
ed to squirrel hunt over the hills o'
Sharp county, never dreaming o.
an opportunity to see the ocean
much less to ride Its powerful waves
and, yes, II was the same old guy
But say, | fed the fish" most OF the
way over. ] did wish so much to bt
on deck all during the day bu
there was hardly a day OF the
voyage that | felt like beine out
may do better on my return trip III

state has been paying cash on its
y Tax bills during the past two years, the
t to slate Is not really able to do that.
'Tlo wor. y One of the first acts of Governor
be aua Brougb, who, it has always struck
wing Us, Is long on oratory and poetry
,om. ,,rr' and short on practical business
ability, was to issue interest-bearing
Vf notes in the name of the state in
5ets1 the sum of $750,000 to pay of
na state debts, so that his adninistra-
i-''s ~ ton might operate on cash basis.
4 ID This Indebtedness still stands
tH against the state. Any bankrupt
, y, Y. Ii Arkansas can get his affairs on
b "a cash basis if only somebody will
lnr loan him enough money.
la The above fact will help the
vi, III reader in estimating the states pre-.
tra dicament when he reflects upon the
las fact that the last legislature by an
i !. excess Of appropriations over avail
ra able revenue created an additional
~ y state debt of $630,000.
nj There has always been one very
strange thing to us about the Ar
Kansas legislature.

\ have accumulated mass of ex.
penditures far in excess of the

but then raising the amount of rev.

quite clear to US.

the peace would do a trick like that
