Reduction of the States Expenses

Reduction Of the States Expenses
 In connection with the matters of financing the various departments of state government, wish to make it plain that l stand for retrenchment in the maintenance of number of these offices. and favor the abolishment of some of the offices and commissions. Among these is the Fish and Game Commission. 1 believe that the ser vices of this commission can be dis pensed with and the enforcement of the laws for the protection of fish and game be placed in the hands of the SheriffS of this state, thus saving to the state some SJ0,00O annually that is mission. l favor the consolidation of ihc Corpora ton Commission and Tax Commission. By thus consolidating these two commissions the personnel of the departments can be reduced, thereby saving quite an item in main taining these commissions. By all means. l favor the curtailment of the power of the Corporation Commission. The powers of this commission are far reaching. so broad in fact that l doubt if there is person in Arkansas who knows just where the powers begin and tn set at naught the valuable franchises granted public utilities by municipali- ties. in open defiance to the wishes of the citizens of the municipality. This is not democratic, and l shall insist that this power be shorn from the com missions innumerable powers,
 I also favor revision of the Board of Control of Charitable Institutions. Thi sboard has at its command vast sums of money belonging to the various institutions over which it exercises its control The different institutions are provided with petty cash accounts over which the state treasurer has no control. but which are used and dis bursed in any manner desired by the Boar dof Control I promise, when elected givernor, that every cent be- longing to the state of Arkansas, through any source or any of its insti- tutions, shall be deposited in the state treasury to the credit of the proper fund there to be disbursed upon war rants issued by the state auditor ac- cording to law

much desired relationship, labor should be recognized, not as a commodity, bu as an essential, living, vital force. Due consideration should be granted labor and sufficient safeguards thrown around the working man and working woman. so that they will have full op- pOrtunity to earn a sufficient recom- pense for themselves and their fami- lies, with ample privileges for educa- tion recreation and proper living.
 Just returns cannot be obtained by capital without the assistance of labor, and labor cannot get it's legitimate dues without capital being employed.
 Agriculture the Basic Industry
 My natural sympa thies are with the great food-producing class, the farm CTS. who are today not merely the mainstay of life in America, but are important factors i'll the sustenance and comfort of the whole world. Not only do the 250,000 Arkansas farmers and their families depend upon the hountiful yields from these farm lands but all the people in the different ill dustries ill the state. The growth of our commerce and manufactures de pend upon the success of our farmers for, after all. the farmers are the 'backbone and SineW" of our prosper ity. l favor rendering whatever ser vice within my power to foster greater educational and agricultural adyant- ages and opportunities to the farmers and their families. 1 shall, when elect ed governor. endeavor to secure for the farmers that full measure of consider alton and justice that their noble call ing and devotion to country has at all times entitled them to receive.
 It will be my purpose to cooperate fully with the state and federal gov ernments in the farm extension work now being fostered by them.

To the People of Arkansas;
 I am Il candidate for the office of governor of the State of Arkansas, sub ject to the action of the Democratic primaries.
 In presenting my candidacy to the people of Arkansas for the Democratic nomination for governor 1 am conscious of the grave responsibilities, as well as the high honor connected with that office and it is not my purpose in this article to discuss in detail the many problems that will be discussed during the campaign. However, I take this opportunity to briefly state my position on the more important issues of the hour
 My public and official record is open and above reproach. l am now serving my second term as secretary of state. and feel that the people are acquainted with my record. It has been my pur- pose to render efficient service, marked by economy and constructiveness. Many changes have been made in that office, with one idea in mind-tO serve the state well. As to what success I have attained l am willing to leave the de- cision to the people.

DEMANDS ADMIRAL SIMS
DISHONORABLE DISCHARGE
FOR CRITICISM OF NAVY
Representative ByrneS of South
Carolina Attacks Admiral
as PrO-BritiSh.
FALSEHOODS CHARGED.
"Slandered the Army and Dep
recated the Navy" Asserts
Officers AccuSer.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27-Dishon-
orable discharge for Rear Admiral
Williams S. Sims because of his re-
cent testimony before the Senate
Naval Committee was urged by Rep
.resentative Byrnes, South Carolina
Democrat, in a speech in the House
to-day.
Representative Byrnes declared that
if a superior officer did admonlsh
Sims, on leaving for England before
the United States entered the war
mot TO let the British pull the wool
over your eyes" the Admiral by re-
peating this TO the Senate committee
is violating confidential instructions
and deserves the condemnation Of
every American and dishonoraDle
discharge from the navy"
Charges that Sims. while serving
abroad, siandered the army and navy
and belittled American forces to the
glorficat!on of the British were made
by Byrnes.
Sims was so bus ting the war
over the dining tables Of London"
Byrnes said, that he did not take
time to look up the actual facts in
his office.
"Whie in Paris on oct. 10, 1918,
twelve days before the armistice was
signed, Admiral Sims told Represent
ative Glass, Virginia, Representative
Whaley, South Carolina, and me that
the armistice asked for by the enemy
would have to be granted because Of
the failure of Pershing to break
through the German lines, due TO the
disastrous breakdown i'll transpor-
tation behind the American lines.
Sims pictured this failure of the army
at a critical moment. We fell for his
story and rushed to Gen. Pershng
only to find that few days previous
Pershing had written the service OF
supplies congratulating it upon the
wonderful work of supplying the
forces in the field. Sims's statement
was false and for his inexcusable SLAM
der he should be made to answer to
the American doughboy.
Byrnes then referred to statement
OF Sims, in the London Times. in
which he said that out of 5000 anti
submarine craft operating only 100
were American.
Records of his Office" the Con-
gresham said, "show that instead Of
there being 5000 engaged, only 1000
could be found. Sims counted every
British bottom afloat to decrease the
American percentage, Instead Of hav-
ing only 100 vessels, Sims had 1923 un-
der his command"
Fsyrnes also declared thaG Sims
had discouraged all American at
tempts to build up a merchant ma
| rine.
$50 convinced was | that his
unglophobia made it impossible for
him TO entertain a purely American
viewpoint that when | returned 10
this country l advised one in
authority that, for an American view
the Navy Department, he might as
well appeal 10 the British Admiralty
as % Sims"
The declaration Of By7nes that
Sims deserved d1shonorable dis
charge was q eeted by applause and
cheers from the Democratic side
Several Republicans Joined in.
Representative Byrnes closed by
charging Admiral Sims with being a
'nyphsnated politician"

Representatives OF the Judiciary
Committee and Of the defense left for
New York this afternoon to obtain
that evidence in the Socialist party
records in Manhattan, Brooklyn and
the Bronx.
William Kaufman, employed as an
Investigator by the Lusk Committee,
was called TO the witness stand at the
afternoon session. He Identified a
letter he found in a raid on Socialist
Headquarters in Rochester written by
EdwlNin Furtz OF National Socialist
Headquarters in Chicago. 1t stated
that the literature department was
circulating pamphlets including 'The
Manifesto Of the Communist Inter
rationale" issued at Moscow, on
March 26 1919.
Then was produced the mani
festo, signed by Lenine ana Trotzky
and others. and addressed to the
"Worldngmen of dhe World
"Only proletarian revolution says
the manifesto "can insure the existence
Of small nations"
Mr.. Stanchfield then read from the
New York Call, a Socialist organ, the
party manifesto adopted at the
Chicago Convention, declaring Amer
can Socialists solidarity with the So
Wet systems of Russia, Germany and
Austria.
John b. Stanchfield in the course of
the proceedings to-day put in evi-
dence provision No. of the National
Constitution of the Socialist party,
which is in effect:
ANY member of the Socialist
party elected 10 office who shall
in any way vote to appropriate
money for military purposes shall
be expelled from the organiza-
ton"
Mr.. Stanchfield then introduced in
evidence the state constitution and
the by-laws OF the locals in New
York City to establish that every
member Of the organization sub
scribes to the national constitution
and agrees to be bound by its pro-
visions.
Then ne read section l OF article
II of the Constitution of the State Of
New York, providing for the estub-
Ishment Of a militia force, and Sec
tion of article II providing that the
militia shall consist of at least 10000
men fully armed and equipped for ac-
tive service, and that it shall be the
duty of the Legislature at each ses-
sion 10 make a sufficient appropria-
ton for the maintenance of the mill
tia forces
John Block. Of counsel said records
would be produced to show that So
cialist Assemblymen in this state have
voted for the general appropriation
bill, which carries an appropriation
for the support of the militia, and
have not been expelled from the So

The intimation is that the defense
will seek to prove that this provision
of the Socialist constitution is inop-
eTative. On the other hand the AS.
