TO THE VOTERS OF LONOKE
 COUNTY

Among the vital issues confronting the people, MT. Williams is commit ted to the following platform:
 If the taxpayers want road and drainage districts and other special improvement districts, then such dis tricts should be created, NOT in the legislature, but at the county seat, where all affected can vote on all reckless practice of creating road and drainage districts in the legislature, affecting every county in the state, is in defiance of the Constitution pro vision which prohibits the passage of any special or local bill where a gen. eral law vii serve the same purpose. We already have ample laws permit ting the creation of these districts by the landowners themselves without going into the legislature to build them. A ''home- made" road or drainage law more truly represents the will of the people than does such creatures of the legislature. The peo- pie can more effectively assert their choice at home than they can in the Hobbies and committee rooms of the legislature, where they are confused and bewildered strangers. It is they who pay the bills and whose lands are mortgaged for twenty or thirty years, and it is for them, not the leg islature, to decide
 Local or special legislation should be discouraged in all matters if a general law will apply. And if the people do not like any law which the legislature has passed, they have the right to drag it out and vote it down at the polls. Yet this right has been denied them in the past by the unjust practice of the legislature at taching to the end of all laws what is known as the Emergency clause, when, in fact, no real emergency ex- ists.

perhaps been few railroad men whose opinions have carried greater weight than his. His testimony before the Interstate Commerce Commission has evoked general approval. It is impor- tant he says, especially in times Of car shortage, "that the shippers should load cars as quickly as is eco nomically possible and practicable after they are received. The shipper should also furnish prompt and defi- mite billing instructions, and the in- structions so furnished should take the car if possible to it's ultimate des- tination Much delay is caused by the practice of billing cars subject to order or re-consignment in transit, and numerous other devit es that come about from time to time. Ali ar engagements of this kind serve to re- tard the movement of cars. All ar engagements of this kind are in effect a special privilege aside from the ser vice of transportation, and in times of car shortage such privileges are at the actual expense of those whose businss is interfered with because of their inability to ship at all.
 Railroad statistics show that the average car load on all the railroads in the United States is only about 70 per cent of the carrying capacity of the car, and in addition to that about 32 per cent of the total mileage is made with empty equipment" says MT. Willard. "A great deal can be done towards getting more effective use of cars by increasing the car load, and this is matter almost en- tirely within the control of the ship per, and serious consideration should be given among other things to the revision of minimum car load regula- tions, to the end that more effective use be made of all cars.
 "It is of course incumbent upon the railroads to do everything that is eco nomicaly possible and practicable at all times to reduce all delays to a minimum. I need not at this time discuss in detail what the railroad can and ought to do, but I am sure if the carriers and the shippers will all cooperate very great benefit will re- suit therefrom. The extent of the benefit may be indicated somewhat by the fact that an average increase movement of one mile per car per day for all of the cars in the United States, based upon present perform ance would in effect add 100000 cars to the available equipment, and an average increase of one ton per each loaded car would also add in effect 80,000 cars to the available equip ment"
 MT Willard has pointed out the exact method for getting approxi- matelv the service of 180,0OO oars out of the present equipment His suggestion for cooperation should be adopted in all parts of the country, particularly as it is a fact that the shortage of cars is so great that it will be months before it will be pos sible to secure enough cars and en- zines to take care of the peak-loads.
 Fortunately, under the new trans merce Commission is authorized to deal promptly and effectively with the situation, and in view of the in dustrial handicap. every possible ef- fort is being put forth to bring the railroad equipment up to the old pre- war standard.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
The Presidential Campaign
(By J. E. Jones)

The industrial institution that would send emissaries among it's workmen today to tell them that "if Cox is elected" or eff Harding is elected" that they will have to shut down until they find out whether "it is going to ruin our business would get a quick response-and it would be "horse laugh". Nevertheless, this sort of thing was done success fully less than sixty years ago, when there were millions of voters hesi- tant about the use of their suffrage, fearful that they might bring on a panic.
 Today the business establishments of the country go right along attend ing to their affairs, and they have abiding faith that their Government is going to stand up to the rack and keep the wheels of state turning reg ularly, no matter who is elected. And they are rightt
 On the other hand applause for. the soviet system of government broke out in the co-catination of the politi- cally dissatisfied, which met recently at Chicago, and the country was warned, and re-warned each day of the sessions that the demnition bow VOWS would happen if either one of the 1.-two old capitalistic parties should be returned to power" And they were wrong.
 Sensible people might just as well make up their minds once and for all times that no matter whether a con- dition of business paralysis is predict ed by capitalists, as in the olden days, or by political radicals and discon- tents as was the case in Chicago, that in either instance, the makers of these threats are insincere and not to be trusted Both instances repre- sent the desire of small clidues to foist their particular "class" upon the Government to take charge of it. and class government is sovietism. Capital appears to have grown away from the advocacy of this faIlacy- or maybe they have dropped it for the better reason that the public refused to swallow the gulf any longer. But the Chicago gathering took up the old discarded cry, hoping by the use of it to fool a part of the electorate and switch them to the so-called inde- pendent ticket.
 With two newspaper editors head ing the old party tickets, and with the whole country still alive to the de- mands of the recent crisis in the sta bility of the ideals inventoried as "Americanism" there isn't much dan ger that "class" representation of re- forms, or threats of disaster, will get more than the deserved "horse laughs" out of the electors.
 The presidential campaign starts out with clean and able candidates leading the old parties; and there is promise that there will be healthfuI spirited expression of the condition of public sentiment throughout the Nation, such as will serve to tell the Executive and Legislative branches of the Government what it is that the people of the United States expect of them

Public Assets and Liabilities

IHc ItStIlCtiOu Ol UdukluR dCCOInO- dations and the disposition on the part of the public to rebel against continuing advances in prices of com modities, represents the movement at the top" to decrease the cost of liv- ing. Prices and wages that were ere ated by extraordinary conditions can hardly be expected by sensible people to continue forever, and there has been plenty of evidence that the busi- ness interests of the country have been looking for shelter from the threatening storm. Leading shoe manufacturers of St.Louis have an- nounced reductions of 50 cents to $2 a pair in wholesale prices. Following demobilization last year a large part of the country stocked up on clothing, so that it-is not necessary for them to make heavy purchases this year. The result has been that retail dealers throughout the country have been cleaning up their stocks and at the same time withholding or ders for large quantities of supplies. Manufacturers have felt this curtail- ment, and they are proceeding eau tiously. It has made an uneasy con- Ndoioh WliiSi lAdo pccH IGHeCLeu HI uIl- precedented numbers of bargain sales" in all parts of the country.
 The domestic wool market in the United States if off 20 to 30 per cent from their high levels and carpet wools 50 to 75 per cent. Hides and leather have had heavy decline within the past three months. These are items that come cloose to the American public.
 7 In the broad field of industry it may be said that the best advices re- ceived at Washington indicate that the majority of products needed in the country are still far behind in the sense of manufacturing. Agricultu- raj production is from 15 to 20 per cent below last year, but there will be plenty to eat.
 On the whSle public assets and liabilities show healthy and im- proved normal condition, but the re- adjustment and redistribution of indi- vidual effort and markets, incident to peace times are still going on. The country shows disposition to get rid of the froth on the top of the in dustrial bowl And as it is being blown away pretty substantial con dltlon in our economic beverage is being found. Evidently we are grad ually getting back to our old gait. which was interrupted with a lot of hop, skip and jump for two or three years.
