The citizens Of Little Rock are to
be asked to agree voluntarily to an
assessment of twenty mills for school
purposes Of eight mills above the
statutory limit. The movement will
be promoted by the Pulaski County
Citizens section of the Arkansas
Educational Association. Petitions
are being prepared for general circu-
lation and from expressions already
heard, it is believed that there will
be very little opposition. The sys.

10 THE PEOPLE OF POLK

am a candidate for a second term
as State Senator of the 33rd District,
z composed Of Polk and Scott counties.
It takes about one term in the leg
( islature TO learn how to do things,
and | now feel that | am in position
to really accomplish something for
the people Of the district.
During the next term of the legisla-
ture there viii be many very impor-
tant measures come before the Gem
enaI Assembly which will directly in
terest the entire people Of cur dis
t.ict and state.
ny record in the Senate will show
that ! have always worked for all edu-
cational interests, and this alone
consider the enc great measure before
the people of the state today. We
must take care Of the coming genera
tion. Our school system must be im-
proved. We must have better build
ingS, better equipment, and Gay our
teachers more salary, or else our
school system viii not improve. Ar
kansas ranks 46th in education, and
we must get out Of the cellar.
Roads and highways is an important
question before the people of Arkan-
sas today We amended the constitu-
ton to let each school district vote
whatever school tax it wanted up to
II mills, and it now looks as though
the people demand the right to have
d road tax in each township that will
take care of the roads IN every COM
munity.
Arkansas has oil, and soon we will
be one Of the leading states in the
Union. Arkansas needs a geological
survey, or rather it should have the
reports made on the survey already
made.
Most of the states are giving the
boys that were in service bonus.
Some states give so many acres of
their state lands, while others give
cash bonus of from $4,000 to 81 900.
This is important, and favor seeing
that our state takes equal steps with
the other states.
Our state institutions need looking
after / favor a pardoning board.
We must not let our convicts be
turned out of the penitentiary just as
soon as they are convicted.
We need more room in our Tubercu-
losis Sanatorium. We only have room
for 40 patients, and we have need of
room for 1000.

serve the people Of the district, and if
reelected to second term, / will do
the best ] can with my present expe-
rience to see that Arkansas and our
district progress. | may not be able

support just the same.

WAS MASTER OF PROFANITY

Joseph Pulitzer. the famous blind

not always purist In language. At

was for 20 years city editor Of the
Evening World, In his autobiography,
chilled "Charles Chnpin's Story"
Sometimes when I was reading to
him he would become expiosIvely pro-
fame" writes Chaplin. "And how
shockingly that blind man could swear!
With him profanity was more Of an
art than vice. Once when had read
something to him that made him angry
with the writer's stupidity he swore so
pnssiOnately and so loud and grew so
choleric and red In the face that I
feared something inside Of him might
snap.
Suddenly he checked himself nnd
pricked up his ears. There were angry
voices In an adjoining room. One Of
his young sons was having run.in
with his tutor and was forcibly telling
what he thought Of him. A peculiar
expression, mixture OF annoyance
and amusement came over my employ

 The reason the country faces an
 impending change, and that a vast
 majority of voters in their present
 humor propose to make it, is their
 complete loss of confidence in the
 present national administration and the Democratic party. Whether or not four years of Cox means four W ises-the electorate will take no chan ces. If it means the end of Wilson ism, and merely the beginning of Cox ism, again the voters intend to take no chances. They have had enough of the Democratic party for the pres ent and enough of Wilson for all time, and they are looking for no legatees or crown princes of Wilson ism to put in his place. The citizen may indeed have this or that parti- cular reason for voting against Cox and for Harding, but behind it all is his dissatisfaction With the present regime, his desire for a change, and his belief that the Republican party is better qualified to meet the great problems which confront the country.
