was succeeded by an order known
as the National Transportation Act
of 1920. This act among other pro-
visions, provided that no rates, in
tra-state could be reduced dur
ing what is known as the Guaran-
tee Period which was set as August
81, 1920. In consequence of the
Federal Control Act and the Trans
portation Act of 1920, the statutory
rates on road building material pro-
vided for in Act 185 of the Arkan-
sas General Assembly of 1919 was
non-operative until August 81, 1920
when the Federal Control was re-
linquished, restoring to the Arkan-
sas Corporation Commission power
to regulate intra-state traffic and
make rates, rules and regulations
under which such traffic could be
handled.
Reduced concretely it will mean
in dollars and cents to the Road Dis
tricts not less than 5000 up to ST.
200 per mile of road if the carriers
succeed in obtaining a permanent
injunction against the statutory
rates and will figure not less than
one and one quarter million dollars
additional freight on these districts
now under construction and at least
twice this amount to the road to be
built.
The contest for the speakership
of the 43rd General Assembly be-
gins to assume interesting proper
tions as did the gubernatorial con-
test in the recent primaries. New
candidates are developing every few
days. Already the avowed candi-
dates for the office are Harvey
Parnell of Chicot, Joe Joiner of
Columbia, r. E. Dickson of Lafay-
cite, L. C. Caudle of Sebastian and
Tom A. Hill of jefferson. Others
who are considered as possible en-
tries are T. c. Cole of Hemstead,
Henry Thane of Desha, j. C. Brook
field of Cross, Wilson Caldwell of
Washington and R. K. Mason of
Ouachita.
Speaking of old members of the

public experience than 'Uncle
Jack" He was 80 years old Au-
gust 7 and has the distinction of
having served in the House in 1908,
eighteen years ago. He insists that
he is no older now than he was in
that historic session and that he
can more than hold his own with

WHEN THE POLITICIANS WIN
 THE PEOPLE LOSE

This fact has been long time dawn Ing on most people, but developments over the whole country reveal that at last the people are coming to a reali- zation of it.
 Various definitions have been given of the word politics" but the one generally accepted now is, FOOL ING THE PEOPLE,"
 The vast bulk of the people are honest. Only a small fringe of our population ever aspire to political pie and plunder. The business of the professional politician, like some of those running for governor now, is to "herd" the voters into his camp or corral.
 But the people do not seem to be as unaware and as gullible as in for mer times. They are thinking for themselves. It has come to be a common joke how people are now giv- ing the political propagandists the "horse laugh" when they utter their claims of the earth daily around "head quarters and in outlying precincts Outlying" is right.
 Professional politicians in both par. ties are scared out of their wits CT the eve of the Chicago and San Fran cisco conventions. In numerous pre- ferential primaries the organization fellows have bitten the dust. The people seem disposed to take things into their own hands.
 One of the common claims in Ark ansas now being made by the profes sionals is that McRae can't win; thu politicians are all for his opponents. We'll, this is not worrying McRae. H. "notes with pleasure" that no singl' opponent of his is able to command even majority of the politicians

STREAMS AT FLOOD STAGE

Cotter, Ark, May 23.-A torren- tial rain, which fell over the upper White River watershed last night has put all the streams at flood stage. Crooked Creek is within a few inches of as high as during the August flood and is raging, carrying everything in it's narrow valley before it. Buffalo River is high and record water is ex- pected. Northfork is rising. White River is expected to reach 25-foot stage tonight. A bolt of lightning struck the Golden Rule Store building here last night and knocked a corner from the top. All bottom lands lying along the river and creeks in this section will have to be replanted and fences rebuilt.

HOME RULE AND FISHERIES.

The Ketchikan Chronicle uses col umns to prove that, while the con tention that the fisheries of Alaska should be controlled by the people of Alaska is a pretty dream, 1t is impracticable and impossible of ac- complshment. The experience of anyone who has been in Washington, the Juneau Empire contends, on the other hand, and the experience of the people of Alaska and other ter ritories proves that it is the only practicable solution of the difficult problem The editor of the Chron- icle has been in Washington, and he knows that it is almost impossi- ble to pass regulative legislation there unless it is national in inn portance or unless there is prac tica unanimity in support of 1t. It is a common saying among congress men, in the press gallery and every where about the capital that it is a very difficult matter to get bills through Congress, but the easiest thing in the world to defeat bills. On the other hand, on account of nearly a century and a half of precedents, Congress will usually listen to the demand of American people for self government when there is unanimity in the demand. The fisheries bureau can defeat regulative legislation, but it could never defeat a unanimous demand of the people of Alaska for self government.
 And, in spite of all that has been Hdlu ol AldShd leSiSlaIuieS, ne Has observed and thought to little pur- pose who does not realize that if the fisheries problem had been put in the hands of the people of Alaska by the Organic Act, long before this time satisfactory regulative leg islation would be on the statute books of the Territory. People talk in extravagant language, but when responsibility is placed on their shoulders they rarely perform in de- structive manner

LAVISH GENEROSITY.

Secretary of the Treasury Hous- tons recommendation to the ways and means committee of the house that interest payments on American war loans to Allied governments be deferred until the spring of 1922 will create little surprise and arouse little opposition, since il has gen erally been understood that this concession should be made to the Allied governments to assist them in the adjustment of their fiscal af- fairs. Interest payments were to begin in 1919, but it is stated that the debtor nations will be unable to pay installments of either interest or principal before 1922.
 Coupled with this suggestion, however, points out the Washington Post, is one from the secretary of the treasury which will create con siderable surprise. It represents, in fact, the acme of generosity upon the part of the United States. MT. Houston proposes to fund these de- ferred interest payments over a period of 12 years at 5 percent, the same rate as the loans carry. But he proposes that they be not com pounded, and if they are not it will have the effect of reducing the

. ELECTRIC RAILROADS.

Electric locomotives, driven by current generated by water power, are now pulling trains over the coast division of the Chicago, Mil waukee X St. Paul railway. The Columbian. the company's overland traju. was the first to leave Tacoma, nH the coast end. beh,nd an electric locomotive.
 Electriiicaton of the coast divi- sion, which extends POT miles from Tacoma to Othello. Central Wash ineton, makes a total of 647 miles over which the Milwaukee line op- crates electric locomotives. The Montana and Rocky Mountain divi- sions, from Harlowtown, Mont, to Avery, Idaho, were electrified in 1915 and 1916. Steam locomotives are still used on gap between Othello and Avery. Electrifcation of this gap is being rushed. No helping engines will be used, it is announced, to assist the electric locomotives in pulling the trains up the 2.2 percent division grades, the heaviest on the system. The cleo tric engines, it is estimated, will make the grades at about 25 miles an hour.
 When the Avery Othello gap is closed, the Milwaukee will have 86O miles of it's Western lines electri- fled. From ninety to ninety-fve electric locomotives will be doing the work that about 25O steam loco- motives performed before the cleo trification. Substitution of water power for steam over the S6O miles will save approximately SO0,00O tons of coal and 4O,00O,OO0 gallons of fuel oil annually, the company es- inmates.
 Glacial streams of Mount Rainier will supply some of the power which will be used to drive the engines On the west end the power will come from the White, Puyallup and Snoqualmie plants of the Puget Sound Traction, Light & Power com. pany. On the east end it will be furnished by the Long Lake plant of the Washington Waterpower com. pany. The White and Puyallur plants are on streams fed by the glaciers.

interest rate on the entire loan to
 4.75 percent, which he considers de sirable.
 Secretary Houston states that the average interest rate on Liberty and Victory bonds is 4.26 percent, and the cost of the campaigns for float ing them brings the rate up to ATS percent. In his opinion, the United States should not charge the Allies any more for it's loans than it paid to borrow the money, and by not compromising the deferred interest he finds a method of reducing the 5 percent rate, which they have agreed to pay, down to 4.75 percent, which the United States pays.
 The total loans to the Allies az gregate $9,647, 1000, ,OOO and it is es- timated that the interest on them will amount to $1O.OOO, 900, ,OOO be- fore they are entirely liquidated. If the interest rate is reduced one fourth of 1 percent as suggested it will amount to a gift of about S5OO,- 000,000 to the Allies, a munificent present, to say the least
