The time of the cleo ton is fixed by Act 19, Acts of Arkansas, 1919, page II, section 2, which reads as follows: The primary election of all political parties shall be held on the second Tuesday in August, preceding the general election.

With the approach of the August primary many questions have arisen Rnong candidates as to the proper egal methods to pursue in prepar- |hg for the election. Several of Fhe questions most frequently pre- fented have been outlined and ans sered by Attorney General John
 Arbuckle, in a letter addressed Joseph W. House, Jr., chairman the State Central Committee, as Eonows:

"The holding of our primary elections is governel mainly by the Brundidge primary act, which was initiated by the people and adopt ed at the election held November 2, 1916. It is set out in Kirby & Castles Digest of the Statutes of Arkansas 3141, page 859.
 "The act reads in part as fol- lows: All organized political par ties selecting their candidates for office through primary elections shall be subject to the provisions of this act, except in case of va cancy as herein provided, and each party shall pay the expense of it's own primary election, except as herein otherwise provided, and all primary elections for the nomina- tion of county, district and state offices shall be held on the same date. Provided however, nomina- tions by petition of electors may continue to be provided as in sec tion 3O0O.'
 ."It will be noted from the above section that each party shall pay the expense of it's own primary election, but that the manner or specific machinery for the pay ment of this expense is not provid- ed. This has been provided by the State Democratic Central Commit tee as follows: Section AZ of the rules of the Democratic party in Arkansas adopted January "A, 1920, reads as follows:
 "'Any eligible Democrat as de- fined by these rules, who shall pay all assessments and fees levied against him by the proper committee or committees as candidate for of- flee holder, and who files the pledge required hereinafter, will be en- titled to enter the race for any office, for delegate or committee man and have his name printed on the ballots.'
 Candidate to Pay Fees
 "You will note from reading the above that candidates for county offices must pay the fees, assess ments levied against them by the County Central Committee. This seems to be the only reference or limitation as regards fees to be paid by candidates for county of fices in the rules of the party as adopted.
 "Section 49, of said rules reads as follows: On or before July 15, preceding the biennial primary elec- tion, candidates for the following nominations shall be charged and shall send to the secretary of the State Central Committee, ballot fees as follows: United States Sem ate, $3 per county; state, $1.5O per county and congressional, $1O per county. The fees so received shall be distributed by the officers of the State Central Committee to the chairmen of the County Central Committees as soon as possible af- ter July 15, to defray the cost of printing such candidates names on the ballot in any county.

THE BAD SPIRIT
in BUSINESS.

The industrial unrest which so in
terferes with community and BUSH
ness progress, is due to deep rooted
causes. These must be removed be-
fore there can be unity of feeling
and cooperative spirit.
Red agitation, un-American prop
uganda, the i'll considered action of
ignorant people, all make trouble.
But underneath all that are certain
fundamentally unsound conditions
long tolerated, which will create dis
turbance until removed.
So long as avarice or oppression
exist and bear heavily on the people
there is sure to be social turmoil.
Take as just one instance, the way
many corporations and capitalists
handled the excess profits tax. This
tax was a fair assessment on big
fortunes. The man who was max
ing half million year, could we'll
afford to pay half of it to the gov
eminent in an emergency Yet it
is known to have been customary
among many manufacturers, to ut
prices high enough SO the consumer
would pay this tax. and the prof.
teer would make the same exorbi-
tant gain as before.
A thousand such manifestations of
reactionary tendency, are still toll
Grated by the business world To
hold this spirit in due restraint,
there should be in government au-
thority a political party represent
ing the interests of the whole peo-
pie
The fundamental difficulty of the
Republican party, is that it is too
close to the profiteerino elements
1t fails to see how their misbehavior
Expresses the masses and creates in
dustrial unrest.
The Democratic party. if it gains
power again, will not be able to
cure all economic evils. But at
least it svmpathizes with the mass
of the people as against extortion
and greed. 1t will accomplish some
thing to remove oppressive and
dangerous conditions

Nv conducted a campaign against
such unfair charges, having receiv-
ed 1000 COMPLAINTS. The best re-
pair shops co-operated, and made
others see that they were injuring
the trade. AS result charges for
this class Of work are now generally
fair in that district.
While the majority of the repair
shops in Mississippi are reasonable,
there is in some a disposition to
overcharge which the Automobile
Associations should take up. Peo-
pie who have reason to find fault
should complain to some central
agency, which should promote a
campaign to eliminate this profiteer-
ing spirit.

TEACHING PATRIOTISM. .

Some years ago the idea of hav-
ing school children salute the flag,
as a method of teaching patriotism
spread quite widely over the coun-
try 1t was a useful exercise, still
it did not inculcate very definite
ideas in the child's mind.
Representative J. w. Summers of
the state of Washington, recently
arranged a patriotic memory con-
test in the schools of his district.
His purpose was to encourage them
to memorize the Americans Creed
