highway was built, that if those peti- tions had ever been presented to me while county judge and had on them found majority of Iandowning sign CTS l would have granted the road. They said they had majority and all petitions were discontinued to be cir culated, but somehow they were never presented to me for approval.
 @Much has been said about the Alexander Road law being unfair, but it is a credit to those special acts. Under the Alexander law only 30 per cent of the assessed value of the real estate in the county could be used to build highways. Under those specifics that all land owners living within the limits of proposed road improve ment district shall have the privilege of signing petition for a road, if he so desires. But here we have had six more miles added to the original six and not one man within that added territory was permitted to sign a petition. Now what do you call this King George of England once imposed tax on this country in it's infancy and what was the result? Patrick Henry summed it up in these words: Taxation without representation is tyranny" And his is what we have been compelled to accept at the hands of those special acts. Patrick Henry further said that "An appeal to arms and the God of battles is all that is left us," and war took place. But I say at this time that we have right to appeal to the ballot box.
 "The initiative and referendum is the best law that was ever enacted, but up to the present time it looks as though we are getting but very little benefit from it. See in Special Act No. 276 will illustrate:
 wSec. 5. This act being necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health and safety, an emergency is declared and it shall take effect from and after it's pas sage, se
 "Now this section was inserted for no other reason than that it would prevent the people from getting to- gether and having chance to vote on it. It couldn't be otherwise. For these reads are not in such bad shape that peoples lives are endangered in trav- cling them.
 "To emphasize further the moclery being made of the initiative and re- ferendum act, Judge Wear cited his hearers to the Mill Creek petition which was circulated gainst high way running out that way. It con tained 84 signers, for and 80 against. It was sent to Little Rock during the special session and was fatty ignored. Several other in- stances as interesting as this one was referred to.
 "The main issue before the people of Polk county" the judge said, lis not one of partyism or the highway building; it is something far more im- portant than either, namely, will the people continue to allow this machine rule to go on, or, are they going to stop it 2"
 The judge is willing to go ahead and see the Jefferson Highway project put through, but on those lateral roads he is in favor of letting the matter be left up to the people. These questions, with the ones of Represen- tative Thomas's resignation and Dr..

Rev. ". L. Smiths Sermon Good.

Special to The Star.
 Hatfield, March 22.-Rev. W. l.. Smith preached at the Baptist church at Hatfield Sunday and every person present came away full of good thoughts, and some were seen> to be talking freely and waving their hands as they conversed. Brother Smith breaches from experience and reaches his people and gets them aroused. While he is something of fighter, he is nevertheless human, sane and wholesome, and well worth listening to no matter what mans beliefs might be. He vigorously attacked the Unitarians, and ex-President Taft for his belief, but the few Unitarian-in- clined persons present felt no offense. People like frankness. He will preach here ns1t on the 3rd Sunday in April.
