POLITICS vs. JUSTICE.
Because Republican, Magazine Denied
 Even Half Its Road Tax.

Special to The Star.
 Little Rock, Feb. 4.-The little thing known. as brotherly love be- tween the dominant political parties of the state manifested itself in the Senate Monday afternoon when that body indefinitely postponed the Quinn bill from the House, giving the town of Magazine one half of the road tax es collected therein. It so happens that Mir. Quinn is Republican, and one of the blanks in his platform was that he would secure enactment of law that would give Magazine the road tax referred to. Thru this represen- tation he secured the election, but he did not reckon on a Democratic sen- ator in the upper house. Senator Evans went only so far with his ar gument as to state that Magazine is a Republican town, but the township surrounding it is Democratic. He was stopped by laughter which continued even after the bill had been indef- nately postponed.

|0TY FATHERS l FAVOR PROGRESS
co,ncilmen Pass by Unanimous Vote Ordinance for Street Paving-Bet- fer Lighting System and Other
 Improvements Ordered.

Mena's city father showed their gal .Iantrv at the regular February coun- |rn meeting Tuesday night by giving Itbat winsome stranger, Miss Progress,
 \ helping hand over several bad places 'in the road.
 Before the city dads quit their evening labors, which by the way, |las+ed until almost midnight, they had taken action on a number of import .nt matters and showed that they favored improvements of all kinds in the municipality.
 Among other things of real pro-
 cressive nature the council took up were the following:
 Donated site for the sweet pota- to curing plant.
 Passed by unanimous vote an ordi- nance for paving DeQueen street.
 Ordered the encouragement of the
 street lights in the residence district. Approved plans for city direc- ]. tory.
 Condemned downtown fretrap. Lastly, but how wisely remains to to be found out-made bargain day urice for street labor. The figures were put at sS for teams and $2.50 | flor men.
 The potato curing house was given use of the city's abandoned street, formerly occupied by T. A. Aliens flour mill. Ben c. Eastin, secretary of the Commercial Club, received the official o. K. on his plan for giving Mena new city directory, and he expects to start work at once. New street signs will be put up at num- Der of intersections where the old signs have been torn down. Property owners on DeQueen street, between the Kansas City Southern crossing and Hickory avenue, asked that there be created an improvement distriet fer the paving of De Queen or Sixth street between the intersec- tions named The council accepted the petition of the property owners and then unanimously passed the or dinance calling for the improvement. It is expected that the improvement
 district will be enlarged so as to in- clude Sherwood, Janssen, Maple and Port Arthur avenues in tke blocks
 between DeQueen and Mena streets. Circuit Clerk w. L. Parker, Secre- tary Eastin of the Commercial Club, M. B. Legate and others were present at the council session to ask for street lights in their respective neigh
 borhoods. Mayor Smith and his asso. eiates disposed of the street lighting
 problem by assuring the petitioners that the lights in the residence dis
 triet would be rearranged in the near
 future and that localities now in
 nightly darkness would be illuminated
 if it were within the power of the
 aldemen to do so. A meeting of
 aldermen and Manager Talton of the
 Commonwealth Company to decide
 location of lights was arranged tor
 Thursday night.
 Just before it completed it's labors
 and turned out the lights at midnight
 the city dads passed a resolution con-
 demning the building on Mena street,
 formerly occupied by McCann's stu
 dio. The owners, unknown to the
 councilmen, were directed to remove

Some have not, of course; they

$3.50, $50 to be raised during the

The subscriptions SO far this
week average $572 per person, as
against less than $45 per capita in
the fourth loan. The average per
capita subscription for the first
four loans was 1922. The allot-

practically the same as for the
Victory loan, and the $45 average
shows an exceptionally wide dis
tribution.
This cannot be said of the Vic.
