BUSY SESSION AHEAD.

Congress will meet In about three
one that requires early attention. Or
this subject the Republican platform
adopted at Chicago declares: 1.-THE
burden of taxation imposeo- upon the
American people is staggering; but
in presenting a true statement of the
situation we must face the fact that
while the character of the taxes car
and should be changed, an early re-
duction of the amount of revenue to
be raised is not to be expected. The
next Republican administration will
inherit from its Democratic predeces-
sor a floating indebtedness of over
three billion dollars, the prompt liqui-
dation of which is demanded by sound
financial considerations. Moreover
the whole fiscal policy of the govern
ment must be deeply influenced by the
necessity of meeting obligations in ex-
cess of five billion dollars which ma
ture in 1923. But sound policy equal
ly demands the early Accomplishment
of that real reduction of the tax bur-
den which may be achieved by substi-
tuting simple for complex tax laws and
procedure; prompt and certain deter
mination OF tax liability for delay and
uncertainty; tax laws which do not

mulct the consumer or needlessly re-
press enterprise and thrift" ,
The debts created by the Wilson ad-
ministration are legal obligations of
the government, and the new admin
istration has no choice but to- provide
means of payment. Moreover, the
debts were accumulated in a period OF
initiation and must be paid during a
period OF deflation. Debts accumu-
lated with Accent dollars must be
paid with 100-cent dollars.
The Chicago platform promises
maintenance of national honor and
respect for the rights of American cit
liens abroad. Encouragement of ag-
riculture; promotion OF peaceful set
Element of Industrial disputes; resto-
ration of an efficient railroad system
upbuilding of the merchant marine;
return to the protective principle in
tariff legislation; revision of the nat
uralization laws, and restoration of
efficiency in the public service, are
other pledges which the platform
made and which the party will be ex-
pected to proceed to fulfill without
unnecessary delay.
The Job is a big one but an honest
effort by congress can accomplish
much even before March 4. There is
no occasion to await the inauguration

Women, in the main, love to be
dominated" writes Mr.. Arnold Ben
nett. Since Mr.. Arnold is, perhaps. of
all the current writing men, the most
meticulous in his use OF words, we
must quarrel with the conclusion
reached. Women do not love to be
dominated. They hate it. The man
who attempts to dominate a woman Is
in for the battle OF his life. But once
he has succeeded in subjugating her
she is very likely to love him.
Since we are discussing Mr.. Bennett,
we wish to acknowledge our indebted

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
 TO AMERICAN LEGION

New York, May 25.-A Memoria Day message from President Wilson to American veterans of the World war was received here today by the American Legion Weekly. It read:
 "We approach the annual celebra- tion of Memorial Day with our hearts filled with tenderes and grateful memories of those who have given their lives for America. The day has by custom been consecrated to the country's heroic dead. This is ob- served by those who were comrades in arms and who shared with the well-remembered dead the experien- ces, the hardships, the pefils and the glory war; this is celebrated by the people of the country generally who take it as an annual occasion to re- new their loyalty to the country and to draw fresh inspiration for the tasks of peace from the memory of the sacrifices which were made so freely in times of war. The day is therefore filled with both memories of1 the past and inspirations fer the future It gathers the traditions of what we have done in order that we may have the courage for what we have to do
 Progress moves like an army; it has it's days of training and pfcpar- ations; it's days of conflict and its days of vindieation; it has it's camp fires and it's memories. To you who were soldiers of America in the great war i send affectionato greetings. What your arms have done for lib- erty in France your spirits will coaag tinue to do for justice at home. Great experiences make great men and out of the trgedy of this test new, he roic quality has come to the Ameri- can manhood you represented, and your country's affection fer what you have already done is only equalled by it's confident hope Of the manly part you are still to play

Little Rock-Gaily Haunting in red and Diack upon a background of spreading canvas, the various candi- dates for state offices, nave raised their banners upon the fronts of Lit tie Rock hotels.
 Among those who have announced t..eir candidacy are Senator w. F. Kirby, and Congressman T. H. Cara way, who are aspirants for the unit ed States Senate; Smead Powell, J. c. Floyd and John A. Riggs candidates for the gubernatorial nomination, fther entries in the great free-for-all are expected to open headquarters soon with active managers in charge of their several interests. The Hobbies of the principal hotels are beginning to take on lively appearance of ex- citing political campaigns.
 The last week has developed only few new features. Senator Kirby de- livered his opening speech at Con way on Saturday, answering charges made by Congressman Caraway in his opening speech at Benton and making counter charges, which MT. Caraway will probably answer later on. The "short and ugly" has been freely used by MT. Kirby in refuting charges made by his opponent.
 MT. Caraway is known to be him. self a vigorous campaigner and the public may well look forward % enc of the most evciting campaigns that has been waged in the state since the historic days of Jeff Davis, James P. Clarke, James K. Jones, James H.. Berry and others of the war horses Ol Ol1lef years.
 In the race for governor, there have been no special developments. MT. Powell and MT. Floyd continue to pay their respects largely to each other.

The overall craze is passing. It was but a fad at best and could not have been expected to last long.

 The crae had a short life in Arkan- sas. Overall clubs were organized in many places and for a few days il was a public fad, but graduily the men sncaked back into their old time, conventional apparel and the wearer of overalls became an excep-

made more speeches in his campaign for governor than any other candi- date in the history of the state, con tinues to tell the public why he should have the nomination. The othe: can didates, John A. Riggs, Ju4ge Hay nie and Harry Walch are pursuing their own methods in keeping them selves before the public.
 Notwithstanding the efforts of the candidates, the people refuse to be- come excited and lave apparently adopted the course of listening, red ing and then following the dictates of their own better judgment. Never before has it been so difficult to fore cast the result as it is today in the governors race. There is the usual talk of cliques, machines and politi- cal hierarchies, but it is evident the people are discounting these things and are disposed to act for them selves. The day of the political ma- chine is doomed; at least it is not possible for one to long resist the attri+ion of pI1hlip .centin1apt and pl- litical independence.
 The only development in the minor races is that for Auditor of State. Deputy Auditor c. c. Smith has ar- nounced he will not make the race but will enter commercial life in- stead. This leaves the contest to A. J. McAmis, clerk in the office and Ollie Rciff, former deputy auditor.
