A BIG WASTE.

It is estimated that 58, ,00o acres of cotton in Arkansas will be abandon ed unless there Is an increase In the price.
 That represents an enormous waste Arkansas in 1920 had approximately 2.860,oo acres planted to cotton with an average yield of 194 pounds of lint per acre. This large acreage was due to the belief that cotton this year would bring a price something nearly equal to that of last.
 There is an old saying that if our foresight was as good as our hind sight we would never make any mis- takes.
 But with this large crop and the low price should give us plenty of hindsight to prevent large acreage next year.
 If those bS,o00 acres had been planted to hay and corn and other feed crops many of the farmers would be able to face the making of the next crop at very little ex- pense. The farmer who plants all cotton and buys his feed is a gambler pure and simple and the cards are stacked against him in the beginning.
 This 58,000 acres of land which will not be harvested represents loss of at least a million dollars to the farmers of the state. There is no estimating the amount of feed that will have to be shipped into the state in order to make the crop of 1921, but it will be enormous.

FOR A SECOND PRIMARY

Hon. Grady Alexander, member from Pike, states that he will pre- sent a bill at the coming session of the legislature providing for run off in the primary for state, district and county officers who fail to get q majority in the first primary.
 While it would cost a great deal of money to hold second primary, it is the only way in which the peo- ple's choice will prevail.
 In very few cases where there are more than two candidates, does the one receiving the nomination have q majority of the votes. And it also very often happens in states when the second primary prevails that the one who receives a plurality in the first primary is defeated in the second; showing very plainly that he was not the choice of the people.
 1t also happens here in Arkansas that the man who is elected to of flee receives less than third of the votes cast, and would not receive majority in case of run-off.
 If candidates claim that this would cost them too much to hold this second primary, let them cut down on their campaign expenses in the first primary,
 The majority should always rule and this is the only way to secure the majority choice for candidates for office.

POLITICAL BEDFELLOWS

Politics indeed make strange bed fellows. The truth of this saying is exemplified, if not every day, at least in nearly every campaign.
 Four years ago Gov. Brough, dur ing the course of his campaign, made frequent and bitter attacks upon John T. Burkett, who was a Hays appointee.
 When Gov. Brough assumed the reins of government did he tie a can to the aforesaid Burkett? He did not, but he continued him in office and held him in high favor during the four years he has held the gov ernor's office.
 Now it is so persistantly rumored that he is about to appoint MT. Bur kett as a member of the Corporation Commission that it is accepted as a fact, although the appointment has not been made.
 It is not that we object to the ap- pointment of MT. Burkett, but it strikes us that Gov. Brough must have felt, after the heat of tEe cam campaign had cooled off, that he had said things about MT. Burkett that were not true, or if he felt that they were true he was not doing his duty by continuing him in office.
 But here is lesson for us to take home with us. We must take all charges of one politician against another with a grain of salt, and we must consider all promises made by candidates for office as not being made in earnest, but merely for the purpose of catching votes.
 Gov. Brough was not a politician when he entered the race for govern or four years ago, but he seems to have been an apt pupil in the art of forgetting his campaign thunder as soon as he was elected.
 MT. McRae is not a politician, and the people are pinning their faith on the hope that he will not degenerate into one.
 MT. McRae has the greatest op- portunity of any governor Arkansas has had in many years, because he follows an administration that has been anything but brilliant.

THE. FEE SYSTEM

One of the pernicious effects of the fee system is seen in Mississippi. Stokes Robertson, state revenue agent, has brought suit against all of the insurance companies in the state on the charge of being in a combine. as a result of the suit 139 companies are withdrawing from the state, which under their policies, they can do with five days written notice to policy holders.
 If the suit should be successful it would mean judgment against the companies in favor of the state for more than two billion dollars. The revenue agent would receive commis- sions amounting to four million or more.
 It is probable that Robertson does- n't care whether the companies are in trust or not, but he sees an opportunity to take advantage of an old law and get large fee for him. self.
 If these 139 companies should with draw from the state who can estl- mate the losses which the business in- terests of the state would supper. But that would be small matter to Stokes Robertson, so long as he has chance to feather his nest.

LOOKING TO PROTECTION

The republicans are getting ready to put their old standby, the protec- tion tariff, back into action and are
 talking of tariff on wool and wheat.
 We are all of us nor cor less pro-
 tectionists. The manufacturer wants
 tariff put on goods to keep out
 the goods made by cheap foreign labor, or if not to keep it out, to at least make it pay a duty that will equalize difference in wages between this and the old world. The farmers ir the wheat and wool growing dis trtcts want the same thing. The retail merchant wants a license put on peddlers and itinerant merchants because they pay no taxes or rents CT clerk hire. Now comes the labor ing man and wants protection from the hordes of immigrants who are pouring into this country. Louisiana is full of protectionists although it always votes for free trade.
 In 1893 this country had about the hardest times within the memory of this generation. This was a year of bank failures and business failures, of soup kitchens and Coxeys and Keily's armies.
 The republicans laid these hard times to the Wilson-Gorman tariff bill which had only recently been passed by democratic Congress and signed by a democratic presi- dent.
 Whether that was the cause of it or not, we do not claim to be famil- jar enough with political economy to determine. But whatever the cause, it resulted in the defeat of Grover Cleveland and the election of a re- publican Congress and this was fol- lowed by period of good times such as the country has never wit messed. There was no imitation of prices or property, but prosperity seemed to ooze from every crack and cranny.
 Whether the repeal of the Under wood free-trade bill and the adoption of protective tariff will have the same effect now as it did then re- mains to be seen.
 But probably 1t will not because in the first place Europe is not sending anything as it was at that time.
 But the passage of the Underwood law did not result in materially re- ducipF the prlce of anything it affec- ted, so the placing of protective tariff by the same token should not aid in increasing prices.
 Consequently it will be worth a trial on the theory of "any port in storm."
 F But something will have to be done to prevent values from shrink ing nothing. Those who, in the fren- zy of high prices and liberal spend- ing bought property at double and thribble its former value, face a big loss in the lowering of property val ues. And men who paid those high prices for land couldn't make enough to pay the interest on their invest ment if farm products stay at their present prices.

SPRING GOWN LES. GNERS SEEK THEIR INSPIRATION
 ON THE BOOKSHELVES
By MARJORIE"

Written for The United Press)
 New York, Dec. 24.-Designers or the materials for spring and summer gowns seem to have gone to the book shelves for their inspiration. Print ed silks.-the piece de resistance of all spring fabrics-and the designs upon most of these silk exploit some wellknown story or book character Although museums are still flooded by designers who nab ideas from old period costumes, pottery, or jewels, the Public Library is now beginning to feel the influx of designers in quest of good pictorial material as found in stories, and also in search of names for their various bookish patterns.
 Thus, one house is putting out spring line of printed georgettes and radium silks. The designs are sim pie, small and conventional. Most of the prints are two or three color checks interwined with floral motif, or tiny geometrical series of octa- gons and diamonds may form the pattern. This is called the Lillipu- tian series, and the same houses con- trasting line of huge and ornate prints is called the Gulliver.
 Designers are emphasizing the Russian motif and coloring. It is laughingly Prophecied that the great flood of Slovak literature will ebb a bit now that the clothiers are swoor- ing up this same atmosphere. In- stead of cultural clubs, reading the rawlings of Tolstoi and Turgenieff, we will have the same clubs wearing this atmosphere"
 The Samovar, Vodka, Sledge, and Peasant are the names of four very colorful Russian silks. The designs do not resemble the names, but col bring and line is influenced by Rus sian costume and church embroider- iee. These designs are in dull green blues, and brighter hues of cerise, orange, flame, and jade upon black backgrounds. As many as a dozen different colors are used in one print ed pattern.
 Although the Slovak influence is most strong in the new spring silks the Persian effect is keenly felt. One house is showing it's best designs known as the Beard of Omar. Soft grays and cool greens make a misty almost mystic background for gay and gorgeous garden wherein lolls the old Epicurean with his book of verses underneath the bough, the loaf of bread and several jugs of wine, all proving that wilderness truly was Paradise enow." The same de- sign is put out upon rust and copper radium silks.
 The Persian lotus leaf design is found in a multitude of fabrics and colors. Floral designs on the whole are quite conspicuous There are prints of hugh cabbage roses, gay poppies, pansies, and smaller flowers such as violets and gardenias. AL though many of these patterns them selves are large, coloring is quite harmonious and subdued.
 American literature is represented by design called "The Forest Pri- meval." It is 8 mass of towering hemlocks and spruces clustered about little village Arcadia. The blue greens and soft browns are upon a l. t.

The movement against the aboli- ton of the Corporation Commission is gaining ground. A few months ago the people were up in arms this commission on account of some of its rulings. But in the light of sober seeond-thought it is becoming apparent that it's abolition would only make bad matters worse. There must be some sort of court or tri- bunal where both the people and the corporations will get an equal hearing.

THE BURDENS OF TAXATION


 If the price of farm products are to be held down to a price below the cost of production and labor is to be reduced all along the line it will be interesting to learn how the government expects to be abe to collect taxes to the amount of $4,- o00,000,000 per year for the next four years.
 High taxes and low markets will not work together The farmer and the laborer are the only producers we have-the rest of us are mere mid dlemen. Necessarily, we must admit but none the less non-producers. If the income of these two most im- portant links in our chain is to be cut down to a lower level, it will also be necessary to retrench in both state end federal governments or the bur den of taxation will become too heavy to be borne.
 Federal taxation is estimated to be costing each family in the country $220 per year. This heavy burden is falling on the rich and poor alike. The present Congress has no definite idea of how to reduce the taxes, but only to shift it around, taking it off of one man and placing it on another. In this connection the New York World says:
 "The country cannot stagger along under such a burden of taxation. It is being taxed to death and will continue to be taxed to death until the government itself begins to re- trench. There is no permanent gain in substituting one form of taxation for another"
 There is plenty of room for re- trenchment. The great increase in the population of Washington repre- sents the increase of the government payroll, and mounts into the thous- ands.
 Time after time it has been point ed out where huge sums could be saved in the conduct of the several activities of the government, but 8 complacent Congress refused to see or heed.
 There is scarcely department of the government but what could be administered efficiently with less clerks than at present. In fact, some of them are so cluttered up with clerks and red tape that they cannot function properly.
 Why, with the country at peace and no immediate prospect of war and the largest navy in the world, should we spend the immense sum of $1.350. 900, 900 for the army and na- wy? If the country had plenty money and no heavy burden of taxes this might not seem to preposterous. But in our present condition 1t is too much like a man buying an automo- bile when his home is under mort gage anu HG ONSS &As kllG in town.
 This excessive taxation is causing men with money to invest their in non-taxable securities and this is given as reason for the fail ure of the building revival to respond to the reduction of material.
 When the annual appropriations of this country reached 8 billion dollars there was an awful vail went up about extravaganza and the country at that time was in a con- dition to stand this immense appro- priation without increasing taxation.
 But now it has reached four times that sum and it looks like the pay ment of taxes will bankrupt many firms and individuals.

If it is true that America has the largest navy in the world we might stop building for while and rest on our laurels.

We didn't have the largest navy in the world when John Paul Jones and Stephen Decatur and other famous admirals were making naval history.
