regulating, or placing a tax, upon the automobile. Others are expect ed during the coming week and the proposed Uniform Vehicle Bill by which an effort is being made to have the same automobile regula- tions in all states, has not yet been presented An effort is be- ing made to have all bills affecting the automobile considered by a spec ial committee for the purpose of taking from each it's good points and incorporating them in one bill which can be supported by owners, dealers and manufacturers and at the same time safeguard the inter- ests of the property owner. Sever al cities are expected to ask for an increase in the city license on au- tomobiles, but a bill to place a tax of 1c gallon on gasoline may be introduced to offset the claims of the city. If this bill is offered it will provide for a division of the fund thus created in each coun- ty, by which the city will secure for street work all taxes collected with in the city on the sale of gasoline This would not give the country districts great deal, but the pres ent three mill tax would amply care for them if the revenue derived on gasoline tax is up to expecta- tions. These rural automobiles use the city streets at present and con tribute nothing toward their main tenance. A bill of this kind would hardly be opposed by the automo- bile owners as it would be a direct tax on the persons who derive the benefit from improved city streets. An increase in the present city au- tomobile tax would be opposed by them. If such bill is introduced, it will make specific the uses to which the funds derived therefrom shall be put.

of the country. Records show that last year approximately 750,00O tons of freight was transported on Arkansas rivers, of which 57,000 tons was on the Arkansas river alone. During the same period, there was only 5000 tons on the Illinois canal which cost more than the government has expended for all time in the improvement of the Arkansas river. The Missouri river last year carried only 17,000 tons of freight. However, the United States engineers office, which has been maintained in Little Rock since 1884 for the maintenance of our rivers, has been ordered dis continued and the office and rec ords transferred to Memphis.
 Energy applied toward railroad regulation in past legislative ses- sions seems this time to be directed toward the automobile. The dis position of some members is to not only maintain improved highways at the expense of the automobile, but to build new roads and let the

 our community requesting the leg islature now assembled, to repeal the all-year-round stock law, and we are informed that counter-peti- tions win be made. In this con nection we have to say Iha. every man has a right to his opinion on any question, and we concede to every one this right. However, we cannot refrain from saying that all matters of such great import, and so materially affecting the in- terests of the county, state and national government, should be con- sidered intelligently, unbiased and with an eye single to the best ln- terest of all, rather than rashly and with bias and to vent the spleen of radicalism even though the lat ter should be in the majority. Of ten the majority takes the minority to ruin. Statisticians claim there have been one hundred and fifty five billion souls born in the world since Father Adam, and that only three billion were saved. This cor oberates scripture, ''and few there be that find it." etc. If these statistics are one-half correct, it is evident that it is unsafe to follow the majority. Really. fellow citi- zens, all things worth while for the uplift of humanity and for the establishment and upbuilding of good government and making possi- ble better education, etc, have been accomplished by the conservative, deep-thinking minority keeping ever lastingly on the job and educating the majority to the right. Our Sen ators and Representatives should be cautious and consider well from ev- cry angle before repeating good leg islation. Hanging or electrocution is an extreme act of legislation and not to be admired, especially by those who are to undergo it. It seems barbarous on it's face but who would say repeal this law? Why not? We keep it on our statute and enforce it not because we are barbarous, but because we are not, and for the benefit to society de- serving. We knew not it's benefits until we tried it, adn we admit 1t has proven disastrous and wrought quite an inconvenience to quite a few but to the majority it has prov en a blessing.
 Likewise the stock law must and should be tried out and let the ma

At a recent netting of the Board of Directors of School District No. G. it was unanimously agreed that we carry on our schools over all op- position. We refused to be side tracked by depressed conditions. In addition to contracting with three teachers for the colored schools of our District, two directors were chosen whose names will be sub mitted to the educational board at its next meting for appointment. MT. Jake Singer was selected to fill the unexpired term of W. F. Bray, made vacant by Mir. Bray's removal to Marianna. MT. Ben Hall was cho- sen for the unexpired term of MT. Will Long, who has moved with his family to Brassfield, Ark. We will continue our wagonette until such time as the roads are in condition that the children can walk, at which time they will be discontinued to conserve funds for teachers sala- ries. Man yother matters of inn portance were disposed of at this meeting of the Board and we have every reason to believe we are en- tering upon very prosperous school year. Cooperate.
 The three-act drama "Bashful MT. Babbs," rendered at the school au- ditorium Friday night, by the ad- vanced class and teachers, was a de- cided success, and wildly reflected the ability of Prof. Simpson as all instructor Special mention cannot be made as all acquitted themselves in such creditable manner. We don't know with whom to begin. The song goodnight" by the Pri- mary class at the close of the eve ming exercises was the climax of success and Miss Lewis is to be con graduated in securing such a rendi- tion from such young and tender minds.
 MT. George Howard and family, who for many years was farm man. ager for MT. M H. Ford, has re- gently moved into our midst, hay ing assumed charge of the W. A. Willis farm here.

The attendance improves with each service, and we hope in the near future to see every one in our entire community identi- fled with us in this commendable work.
 The prayer meeting organized at school building last October has grown to considerable proportions. The attendance is large and the in- terest manifested is all that could be desired. The bible reading con- test, suggested by Prof. Simpson, is eliciting considerable interest and bids fair to result in much better knowledge of the Scripture. The women have outclassed the men in each of the two reports made, but we men are going to excell them at the next meeting. The service was conducted Sunday night last by MT.

have opposed the repeal of the law
 prohibiting the sale of cigarettes in
 Arkansas. This bill places license
 of from $500 to $10.00 on the re-
 tail dealer and S25.00 on the whole
 saler. The fund thus derived to
 be placed at the disposal of the
 Public Health Department to con
 duct campaign of education in
 the schools to point out the evils
 in the use of tobacco by minors. The bill licenses the sale of cigar cites to adults only and sale to a minor surrenders the license of the guilty dealer as well as imposes stiff fine and possibly a jail sen tence. The dealer may secure an- other license if the State Board of Health desires to give him another chance, but a bond of S1,000 will be required and should he second time violate the law, this will be for feited to the state. This bill has the support of many prosecuting attorneys who declare it is prefer able to the present unenforcible law. It has the sup port of the State Board of Health which declares that the cigarette is the least harmful manner in which tobacco may be used, despite the popular prejudice to the con- Lrary.

 LITTLE ROCK LETTER

Little Rock, Jan. 17.-Taxation
 seems to be the predominating theme in legislation which has so far been proposed. It is not so much an idea of regulation as 1t IS to create revenue with which to carry on the state government and wipe out the existing deficiency. Practically all the special license features now being considered are in the interest of good roads and no matter how the revenue is pro- duced, the bills specify that 1t go to the good road funds of the county in which it is raised. There is bill pending in the Senate to license soda fountains and place a tax on cold drinks, with the entire proceeds to go to the good roads fund. So far the measures all give to the county the funds raised there in, though hard fight is expected later to retain the automobile tax as an entirety to insure a contlnu2- tion of Federal aid. About the only business not so far effected IS the motion picture industries and if corridor gossip is worthy of be- lief, efforts will be made at both regulation and taxation of this ln- dustry. The State Board of Censor ship bill will in all probability be revived and if there is taxation feature, it will be assessed only against the motion picture houses which display advertising films and 1 slides.
