The Legislature

! s'N A~s~ >~pk t~oA'S AAA"SN~~~ ~~A - concerned the people of Arkansas are possessed today by a certain sentiment. Their attitude has been determined by various cir cumstances and conditions. In the period since the United States entered the European war they have seen taxation burdens great Fly increased. At this time of general decline in the prices that may be obtained for the states staple crops many of the taXpav. CTS are facing increa es in their total tax bills, unless federal tax s shall be considerably reduced or maybe even if the national gov. ernment shall abate it's demands. In many directions the govern mental activities have expandt d in Arkansas. The public now d, : mands a reckoning. It wants every agency of the state gov ernment subjected to the acid test of necessity. And l, is in no mood to listen to any speciou pleas that are in reality designed 1 to keep somebody on the public pay roll. The enlightened vie
 m Arkansas today is that money must be saved in order that nor money may be spent for needfui things. The public schools are urgently in need of more fund, All over the state schools are threatened with shortened term on account of there not b, ing sufficient money to pay running expenses for the usual number of months in the year. Mere money Is needed for the advance. ment of agriculture through the employing of scientific agencie, and through the providing of c, : larged educational facilities.
 1 The highwav matter looms larg
 ol the legislative horizon. More construction was authorized dur ing the past two years than Cal be carried through. The high
 way program will, we assume. b, trimmed and altered. No road district should be permitted to stand against the wishes of a majority of the taypa, CTS withi
 it's limits. But at the same time the legislature should have al- ways before 1t, as If in letters of fire. that Arkansas must keep on building good roads. So far as costs are concerned. conditions for highway construction are ia
 more favorable now than they were at the time many of tn, road districts were authorized and they may be still more favor able as the months pass
 This legislature should see to 1t th.t proper steps are initiated for relieving thuse counties ant c.,ieS that are contending wi h financial problems. Many coun- ty and many city is losing mon y day by day because It lacks tower to get for once squareiy on It's financial feet and thus to place 1 i self be, ond the. n.ce s,ity ol pa. .ing excessive interest rates. 1 No citizen of Arkansas cou d better interpret the sentiment that now possesses the peopie ol this state than the Hon. I. c. McRae, who will soun take the oath as governor. There IS no c timaling the good that w.ll re. suit from cooperation between the legislature and the governor to cary out the program that,
 wiiLten or unwrltten, IS plainly demanded by conditions and by the state ot the pubnc mind. - Arkansas Gazette. Monday, Jan uiry 10, 1921.

IF Skin BREAKS

APPLY SULPHUR

Just the moment you apply Men
tho-Sulphur to an itching. burning
or broken out skin. the itching
stops and healing begins, says a
noted skin specialist. This sulphur
preparation, made into a pleasant
cold cream, gives such = quick re-
lief, even to fiery eczema, that moth
ing has ever been found to take
its place.
Because OF its germ destroying
properties. it quickly subdUes the
itching, cools the irritation and
heals the eczema right up. leaving .
clear. smooth skin In place Of ugly
eruptions, rash, pimples or rough
