INFORMATION FOR FRESHMEN
PUBLISHED BY UNIVERSITY

Fayetteville, Aug. 31.-The fresh
man who enters the University of Ar
kansas next September will not make
the mistakes of freshmen of the past
IL he takes advantage of information
and suggestions compiled for him by
the Christian organizations of the
University and by President John G.
Futrall
A little book entitled Suggestions
for Freshmen" prepared by President
Futrail, is being mailed by the Reg
istrar to every prospective freshman
of the University, and the 1900 copies
of the student handbook. published by
the Young Mems and Young Women's
Christian Associations of the Univer-
sity, will soon be off the press and
ready for distribution.
The student handbook contains in
formation about the Christian asso-
Citations, the various clubs, fraterni-
ties, honor societies, and student ac-
tivities TO which the student will give
the time which he does not devote to
classroom work and to study. Ii
Suggestions to Freshmen" the new
student will find much valuable adj
vice about securing board and lodging
about registration and choice OF
studies. about the handling Of money
while in school and how to help pay
college expenses, and about religion:
and social life at the University.

PRODUCTION AND LIVING.

There is only one way that the
standard of living in this country can
be maintained on a high plane and
that is by increased produc-
tion from each person. We make this
statement in the full knowledge that
the labor unions have pretty steadily
followed the policy of decreasing the
production of the individual in order
to bost the average wage. No more
foolish plan could be evolved.
High wages and good living depend
solely upon large production for each
individual. If a farmer can produce
1000 bushels of wheat by 3 months
work, he is entitled to twice as good a
living as the farmer who produces
only 500 bushels by the same amount
of work. More than that, he is going
to get it. The factory employee who
turns out $500 worth of goods week
is entitled to twice as much as. his fell
low employee who turns out $3.50 worth
in the same time; and the time is COM
ing very rapidly when he is going to
get it.
AT present, it is true, the union
workman who loafs half the time and
has never taken the time to learn his
trade, is getting just as much as the
man who has spent years in learning
to do his work thoroly and who works
efficiently all the time. But that time
is about past. If the labor unions are
to be success, and they should be,
merit will have to be recognized. La
Dor union rules cannot accomplish the
impossible and employers will not be
able to pay big wages for poor pro-
duction. Moreover the better class
of workmen are coming to see that
they are doing the work and the loaf
err is getting the pay. These men are
not foolish enough to go on doing this
forever.
This country needs big production
now as never before. There is no
place for the idler. Employer and en-
ploye need to render efficient service
and to be paid on the basis of the
work performed. If each man and
woman, no matter what position in
life is held, will render full service,
there will be no trouble about main
tanning high wages and nigh stand
ard of living. Until this is done, no
power on earth can provide good liv-
ing for both the workers and the
drones.--Peoples Popular Monthly.

ROAD COMMISSIONERS MUST
REPORT ALL EXPENDITURES
Attorney General Arbuckle Says
Checks and Vouchers Must be Filed
With County Court.

Little Rock, Aug. 25.-In reply to
question by Boone county road COM
missioner, Attorney General Arbuck-
lie rules that the act passed by the last
legislature requiring commissioners
to make a report in detail of all the
work done and money expended, does
not repeal the provisions of the Alex
ander Road Law which requires road
commissioners to make an annual re-
port of expenditures with checks and
vouchers filed with the county court.
The Alexander Act No. 1888 of 1918
provides that this report must be
filed annually by the Commissioners
for all districts organized under the
Act and refers to no other districts.
Act No. 151 of 1919 is a general act
re- erring to the commissioners Of all
road districts, drainage and improve
ment districts of every kind, created
in the state where bonds are sold. The
latter act does not repeal the former.
The Act of 1919 provides for an item
lied report to be filed, but nothing is
said about the settlement and there
is no provision requiring the county
court to approve the settlement or re-
port, as there is in the Act of 1915.
General Arbuckle says:
"Since there is no clause in the sub
sequent act specifically repeating the
former act, the former act must stand
unless the terms and provisions of
the subsequent act are in contraven-
ton or cover the same require
ments and provisions as those con-
tanned in the former act. In the first
place, the second act is not in contra
vention to the former Act and in adj
dition there are certain requirements
contained in the former Act not con-
tanned or required in the latter Act
that is, that the county court of the
county shall consider the settlement
filed and shall display all unjust
charges and credits if such there be-
"You are therefore advised that, UNI
der the terms and provisions of the
two Acts and for the reasons cited
above, both Acts should stand as valid
and in full force and effect. While it
may work some hardships on districts
organized under the Alexander Road
Law, yet at the same time the two
Acts must stand until proper amend
ment or repeal can be had.

REFLECTIONS.

The Democratic primary is now
past, and in looking over the results
there is some peculiar things to
notice. First, notice the list of nomi-
nees for that is of most Importance.
Draw line around the town of Mena
at the city limits and you have got
them all inside the circle. Next,
notice their occupation; not one of
them are farmers, nor haven't been
for a number of years. The most of
them never have been farmers. Then
notice the vote in the primary. Out
of 1907 votes cast, 587 of them was
cast in the City of Mena, and $40 in
all the rest of the county. Out of
about $500 poll tax receipts issued,
something like one-third voted in the
primary. What does these facts
mean? Can you think of anything
that might be responsible for the
dropping off in the Democratic vote
in Polk county? A lot of folks think
that the deer peepul have got tired
Of handful of lawyers and bankers
pulling the strings on Polk county's
government Who remembers ever
seeing our county judge going out
into the country and consulting with
farmers in regard to any question
on road building or anything else for
that matter? If you have been
around Mena much you will have a
pretty fair idea who he goes to. There
can be only one result. The people
are going to elect men to office who
are farmers and who have some SYM
pathy for the people who stand be-
tween the lawyers, the judges, the
business and professional men and
hunger, and bear the heaviest bur-
dens for the least remuneration. The
real campaign is now on. There will
be no limit to the money and mis-
representation put out TO beat the
ticket put out by the citizens of Polk
county to represent them in the diff
ferent offices. Watch the results and
see who wins, Mena or Polk county.

Another observation which my SO,

AS to Misrepresentation, the ~.

iDaIlv exaggerated and mlsrepteseiis
ed the amount Of taxes the pegliSS

that the farmers would practlcaliy
have it all to pay. The truth Is they
viii have less than half Of 1t 70 pay
and al the same time they VIII re-
eeiye more benefit than any otheI
class of people from the roads.
Since the Citizens ticket was nom,
mated. they have represented that
polk county scrip was worth only 90
cents on the dollar when it was worm
100 cents on the dollar. When TINS
J renort was put out there was more
than $4,000 in the County General
fund. and there is now more imam
$4,000 in this fund to pay on county
warrants.
The supporters of the Citizens
ticket have represented that the
present county officials are dishonest
and corrupt. These representations
are false. They have represented
that Polk county paid for Mena $

false.

of trying to prejudice the country
people against the town people. The
I honest yeomanry of the country are
not going to be deceived By such ap-
peals and misrepresentation. They
( believe that honesty and efficiency

positions of trust, and not the place
where one lives, nor his ability TO
stir up strife and hatred among his
fellowmen.

Street improvement in Mena seems
to have become epidemic, or conta-
gious or something. But its about
the hest improvement that can be
made, and so long as the property
owners ask for it there seems small
likelihood Of citizens ticket based
on promises to stop it.
