.cAL NEWTON MADE
 ENVlABLE RECORD
 AS 4 LEGISLATURE

CaI Newton. as announced in the Grayhic some time ago, is candi- date for election as one of the three representatives from Jefferson coun- ivy in the next session of the Arkan- sas legislature.
 Mr. Newton has been too busy with his farming interests to give politics much attention and is depending al most entirely upon his past racird to elect him to the office. He was first elected to the legislature in 1907 from Lincoln county, having the dis tinct;on of being the youngest of the representatives. The following year he removed to Jefferson county in Melton township where he has since lived. He was elected to the legis- lature from Jefferson county in 1917. He was chairman of the reform school committee, a member of the corporation committee and a mem ber of a special committe named to visit and inspect the state tubercu- losis sanitarium at Bonneville.
 MT. Newton made an enviable rec ord as legislator by his advocacy of progressive and constructive leg islation at that time and he kept close touch with his constituents as he might truly represent them while ill the legislature.
 MT. Newton is the only candidate in the race who resides in the rural districts of the country but he has many friends in all sections of the county. He is depending upon his previous record to elect him as one of the three representative from Jeff ferson county.

Gould Discusses
 the Ideal Plan of Road Finance

Fayetteville, Aug. 4.-James Gould who has been visiting in northwest Arkansas, recently for the purpose of examining road conditions, states I that the most modern method of fi- nancing in the section is employed in Benton county road district No. 2, in l its safeguarding the interest of tax &payers and insuring disbursements of road money for road purposes.
 MT. Gould is the purchaser of the road bonds of District No. ?, and it is his business to see that inves stments are safe before he puts money into them. MT. Gould says:
 "No safer method of dispensing pub lie funds has ever been devised, in my opinion, than that provided for hand ing the funds of the Benton county load district. Commissioners handle no actual noney. This is paid out only over the ignature of the president and secre- ary of the board and then only by heck or warrant.
 "Under the bond system, the money
 made immediately available and he taxpayers can enjoy the roads and pe enhanced value to thsig landadur- lg all the years they pay Small ssessment from to II cents an acre pr the improvements.
 "The bond buyer pays for the bonds
 fast as actual work on the road is pmpleted and the bonds, issued by Pe commissioners, are turned over tc trustee, in this case the Guardian pmpany of Cleveland. As the work ogresses on the road system, the en- neer makes certified estimates of prk actually completed and the trus- E turns over bonds in equivalent nount to the work done.
 "A copy of each warrant is kept "a twice each year these are filled tn the county clerk and made a It of the public record where any, may check up with the money de- led from the bond sales.
 Benton county is receiving $197,.
 fderal aid for it's road work. This

RETAIL CLOTHIERS ADJOURN
SESSION AT LITTLE ROCK

LITTLE ROCK, May j-The Retail
ClOthiers Convention adjourned yester-
day with the election of the following
officers: President, Harry W. Pfeifer
Little Rock; Vice-Presidents, A. S.
Pyke, W. A. Johnson and Leon Dinkel-
spell; Secretary-treasurer, Gilbert
Bass; Directors, w. A. SnOdgrass, E.
A. Poe, C. c. Warrington, and Felix
Katz. 1t was decided to hold the next
meeting of the Association in May
1921, in Little Rock.
Resolutions adopted by the Conyen-
tion declare that the profits
tax. the surtax and the numerous eX-
else, special and stamp taxes Of the
revenue act Of 1918 are excessive
discriminative and ill-adapted to peace
time conditions; these heavy and un-
certain taxes, through the pyramiding
of taxes as goods are passed from
hand to hand are an important factor
in the increasing prices to the con-
sumer. The heavier surtaxes on in
comes make it more profitable for per
sons with large incomes to invest
money in nOn-taXable bonds rather
than in industrial, railroad, public
service or other taxable securities,
thus diverting huge amounts Of invest
ment capital to non-taXable bonds, and
to the extent of such non-taxable in
vestments, exempting persons of great
wealth from taxation.
Taxes on personal incomes should
be simplifed by dropping the surtaxes
and levying a graduated income tax
instead, stopping at the point where
any further increase would drive the
possessOrs of great income to place
their wealth in wholly exempt secur-
tiles. The greatly increased cost of
living and the decreased purchasing
power of the dollar make it advisable
in the interest Of persons Of small
incomes, that the specific exemptions
should be increased, with exemptions
for each child under Is and for depen-
dents over that age
