The constitutional amendment to curb local legislation in Arkansas is worthy and should be adopted, but it is too had that the only way 1t can be done at this time is to knock out the proposed amendment to allow the tax ing of personal property for public improvements such as roads, water works, etc And this would not have been necessary had not the people of Arkansas. Polk county doing her part, voted down the amendment at the last general election which directly and explicitly gave the voters power in such matters.

3 At no time since the campaign against cattle ticks began in Polk county did the outlook seem so bright as at this time. Some districts seem, from the evidence, really cleared of the costly pest, and only precaution- afy work is yet to be done. Other localities that were resisting the ef- fort to the utmost last year are going ahead at top speed, the people work ing together, hand in hand, to get the task done. With such condition gem eral, it seems there is small excuse for any one locality to hold out and, by so doing, nullify the good work for all the county. Let's get it done with!

Can't Misunderstand.

Such a resolution should under take to do no more than thus to de- clare the state of peace which all America craves. It must add no diff. ficulty in effecting, with just repara- tlons, the restoration for which all Europe yearns and upon which the worlds economy. must be founded. Neither former enemy nor ally can mistake America's position because our attitude as to responsibility for the War and the necessity for just reparations already has had formal and very earnest expression.

BILL FUR U. {. H|CHWAY EDDY
 |S GIVEN ]. X,
 BY SENATORS
Measure To Create Federal Commission Is Favorably :
 Reported Yesterday
PROVIDES FEDERAL AID
Democrats Oppose Clause To Allow Commission to Pick
 Interstate Road Routes

WASHINGTON, June 13.-Favor- able report was ordered by the sen ate postoffice and post roads commit tees today on the Townsend p-il to create federal highway commmis- sion and to establish an interstate system of public roads.
 Three Democrat members of the committee will file minority report probably recommending that no changes be made in the federal road law.
 The bill now provides for a federal highway commission three. The mem- bers would be appointed by the pres ident and would be paid $1O,OOO a year The annual appropriation of $100,000,000 to aid states in building roads would be continued with the specification that the sums allocated to the states must be expended on in terstate roads.
 The provision granting the commits sion final authority in the selection of interstate road routes were retain ed despite Democratic opposition. The Democrats. however, gained insertion of clause directing the federal con- mission to act ''in cooperation" with the states.
 States taking advantage of the fed eral aid provided in the bill are re- Quired to match federal funds except in states having to exceed per cent of the total area in unappropriated public lands, in which case the pro- portion of state funds would be de- creased in proportion of such public lands.
 The bill also would appropriate S5,- 100000 for the next fiscal year and $1O.OOO,000 for the succeeding year for forest roads in the states and Alaska.

PORTER PEACE RESOLUTION |S PASSED BY FIVE
 TO 0NE BALLOT.
l Republican Votes Against Measure; 49 Democrats In
 Ranks Of Supporters AMENDMENTS BLOCKED Bourke Cochran Makes Final Plea For Adoption; Porter
 Springs Big Surprise

WASHINGTON. June 13 By a vote of five to one, the house tonight passed the Porter resolution to ter inmate the state of war between the United States and the central pow CTS.
 As substitute for the Knox reso- lution. passed by the senate, repeal ing the declaration of war. it was put through 305 to 61, as a Republican measure with the loss Of only one Re publican vote-Kelley. of Michigan. 49 Democrats joined in the landslide
 First throwing out. on a point Of order, motion by Representative Flood, Democrat. Virginia. to send the resolution back to committee with instructions to report a substi- ute requesting the president to ne- eOtiate with the enemy countries for treaty of peace, the house voted down 254 to 1l2, another re-commit- ting proposal.
 There was no debate on the latter motion which provided for an amend ment to the pending measure resefy- ing the right under the treaty of Yer sailles ito enter into an agreement with Germany and her allies and DOW CTS associated with the United States in the war for joint disarmament"
 Springing a surprise at the last mo- ment. Chairman Porter, of the foreign affairs committee. in charge of the fight. presented Representativc Bourke Cochran, Democrat. New York, to make the closing arguinen. for passage of the resolution.
 Kelley. who is chairman of the house conferees at work on tn nav al bill with its disarmament amend ment. made bitter attack on the resolution. declaring congress would live to apologize for it's act. which he described as making peace with a mere clasp of the hand.
 The principal attack on the resolu- tion was based by Democrats on the ground that it did not properly pro- tect American rights and that the United States. In attempting to nego- tiate a treaty with Germany and her ally. would sit down with feet and hands tied. Republicans held. how ever, that all rights wore safeguard ed.
 Failure of the senate 10 accept the house substitute will send the ques- ton of peace to conference.

SITUATION IS SERIOUS
Secretary Denby Takes First Step To Stop Attempts To
 Bring About Bloodshed

WASHINGTON, June 13.-With the approval of the president oI Haiti, Secretary Denby has ordered ,ruIs- ferred to the military authorities the Jurisdiction of the Haitien civil court over persons charged with instigating disorder, bloodshed or rebellion, or labelling members of the Haitien gov ernment or the American marine forces of occupation.
 Refusal of the civil courts to con- vict persons accused of these offenses and the rapid growth of revolutionary propaganda, leading to fear of an up rising were given as the reasons for tn step.
 Finding that no punishment fol- lowed their attacks on persons and officials" a navy department state ment said, "Haitien orators and writ CTS have grown bolder until denuncia- tion has mounted almost to frenzy and partisans of all parties became so excited itw as feared that popular out bursts might occur.
 Tt is believed that the knowledge that trial before an unprejudiced and unintimidated court awaits offenders against the laws of libel and those who advocate disorder, will prove am- pie restraint to meet the situation"
 Hereafter accused persons will be arrested by the marines and tried be- fore a provost court-martial, according to a proclamation issued by Col J. H.. Russell, commanding the marines in Haiti
 In promulgating the order, Colonel Russell iGSnQ6 a fn Haitiens saying that the "only agita- tion that is being carried on in Haiti is that undertaken by a few newspa- pers in the large cities and by a few persons in so-called political speech es", The agitation, it was added, was "a menace to law and order.''

They were being questioned tonight.
 The fortune teller has been in GUS tody since Sunday. It was learned today that the two foreigners went to Joseph Kaber, brother of the dead man. and offered to show him a wom- an who could tell all about the mur- der"
 They took him to place and point ed out a house where Mrs. Colavito lived, according to the brothers state ment, and tried to collect the reward. Their efforts failed, however, when they refused to give further informa- tion.
 Following the testimony of Mrs. Colavito duplicating Miss McArdle and Mrs. Brickel in the murder plot, Miss McArdle denied all of the ac. cusations.
