brought back to normal.
Tho traffic on tho west side OF Mar
ket was kept moving south until ono OF
tho cars Of the Wheeling Traction COM

ing tho signal Of one of the traffic Of
fcers.
Several Of the traffic officers re-
marked that they never before saw SO
many machines all wanting to go tho

All the officers worked until 10 o'clock
last night in. taking care of the heavy

THE JoNEsBoR0 PLAN"
How a Progressive School Community Is Solving the Problem of Inade-
 quate School Revenues

 The Progressive Citizenship of Jonesboro sometime ago voted the i2 Mill Tax provided by the Constit,i- ton, which is the limit. However, ow- ing to the increased cost of living and the increase in prices of every com modity, it has become necessary to raise additional funds. Therefore, a movement was inaugurated by the ichool authorities suggesting that all itizens when paying their regular State and County taxes would signify to the collector that they wished to
 pay an additional 5 mills for the bene- fit of the Jonesboro schools. A com nittee was organized and worked in conjunction with the Chamber of Com merce, the Rotary Club, the Lions Club, and other civic organizations. A vigorous campaign, explaining the plan and appealing. to the citizenship as a matter of patriotism and clvic pride to voluntarily levy this assess ment upon themselves, was conducted. Articles appeared in the daily papers egularfy. All of the large corpora tions and larger tax payers came out in announcements that they would be glad to pay this additional tax, which does mt fall very heavily upon any one individual or taxpayer. The plan has met with great success and the people have respondeu very literally so that several thousand people agreed in advance that when paying their taxes they would simply say to the collector, .'I wish to pay an extra 5 mills for the benefit of our schools" !" Some kind of an emblem or button or ribbon or token is presented to the taxpayer who So public-sp;rltedly con tributes to the support of this move ment, something on the order of that adopted during the Liberty Loan, Red Cross and other Government Cam paigns- It Is estimated that the addi- tional revenue thus raised will amount to something over S25, 900 annually. Four minutes speeches are made daily at the theatres, the school childrel distribute letters to their parents and the business houses are tagged to show which will pay the additional tax.
 The following is form Of petition in working out this plan which was presented to the citizens.
 Jonesboro, Ark, Feb. 16, 1920.
 We, the undersigned citizens of the Jonesboro Special S~hooi District, re alizing that the work of our public schools is .being crippled by the lack of sufficient funds at the disposal oi the School Board, and realizing fur ther that the we'll being of our yonre people depends, in targe measare, nP- on the efficiency of the schools, he e. " agree that, when we pay our taxes for 1919, we will voluntarily pay to the collector an additional five mill tax for the use and benefit of the pub lie schools of the city.
