chief tributaries Of the Missis-
sippi. It is said that the early
T, settlers found In this territory,
an Indian tribe named Arkansas,
but the actual meaning Of the
word is not known. 1t probably
has some relation to the word
Kansas. There has been much
confusion as to- the correct pro
nunciation Of Arkansas. To re-
move this as far as possible a
resolution was passed by the
state senate in 1881 which speci-
fed that the true pronunciation
was "Ar-kan.saw."
Originally Arkansas was a
part of the Louisiana Purchase.
Its first settlement was made by
the French about 1885. Except
for the few years during which
by secret treaty 1t was ceded to
Spain, it remained under French
rule, until purchased by the Uni !
ted States In 1903. For nearly
ten years after this, it was
part of Louisiana territory. With
the admission Of the State Of
Louisiana in 1872 this northern
section was formed into the Mis-
souri, territory. In 1919 there
was another partition and Ar
kansas territory was created,
which included the present state
and what later was called Indian
territory.
Due to the reports of an early
explorer named Pike, who visited
this region in 1906. the incor-
rect idea was generally accepted
that most of the expanse of
plains east Of the Rockies was
a vast desert. This idea per-
sisted to such an extent that as
late as 1850 the western plains
were called in the school geog-
raphies "The Great American
Desert" Adventurous settlers,
especially from the South, found
conditions in Arkansas quite 9TH
erwise. however, and by 1888
Arkansas was admitted as the
twenty-fifth state of the Union
with an area Of $685. square
miles.
The natural resources Of the
state are considerable. There
are the mineral springs of me-
dicinal value, which have been
placed under governmental con-
troll at Hot Springs.

LOUISIANA TREATS
 LABOR MEN FAIR

Baton Rouge, La, Dec. 2.-At the special session of the legislature or ganized labor defeated every anti social proposal, while convincing the legislature of the justice of several proposals, which were adopted.
 The defeated bills include repeal of the laborers' lein law and another that would turn the state into a strikebreaker where strike inter feres with commerce.
 The legislature passed an act giv- in gabsent workers the right to vote in all elections, establishing free em- ployment bureaus under. the state la Dor commission and requiring the state to engage in all construction and other work now contemplated.
 One of the hardest fought proposals provided for an investigation of the administration and enforcement of the Workmen's compensation law. The insurance companies lost this fight and it is believed ground has been prepared for eventual state-controlled compensation insurance and the end of exploiting the miseries of injured workers by private insurance com panieS.
 Labor also secured the passage of a bill which provides for the recall of all public officials, except judges, on the demand of 25 per cent of the qualified voters The high percentage will retard the practical application of the law in many cases, but for ward step has been made by'accept- ing the recall principle.

TRADES COUNCIL
(Continued from Page One)

December IS it was hoped 10 bring this about
 There wasn't the slightest objection to endorsing the protest for a new and fair trial on the part of any dele gate to the Council, If such was neces- sary. Former President O'Meara and Delegate J. H. Smith of the Carpen- ters, however voiced the sentiment of the local Labor men when they de- manded that before the Council give it's support, the Council should defn- itely ascertain just who and what the men represented, what the real facts in the case are and postpone action until the next meeting on December IS before giving any endorsement to such a movement.
 The committee which appeared in dorsement couldn't give any informa- ton, one saying that he understood ZaccO repres ented the Shoe Workers union. The radicalism admitted by the men was the point the debate split upon MT. O'Meara and MT. Smith de claring that they couldn't and would n't endorse any Bolshevist or Such like movement->as might perhaps be the case with the meagre information as to the real activities of the men under death sentence that was given.
 On motion of the two delegates the secretary was instructed to communi- cate with Massachusetts Labor bodies, find out the situation and re port at the next meeting, when, if the situation appears as reported by the committee sent to the Council, en- dorsemen to the mass meeting de manding a new and fair trial will probably be given

EDUCATION WEEK
 APPROVED LABOR
A. F. of L. Board Urges All Mem bers to Take Part in
 Campaign.

Washington, Dec. 2.-Organized la bor is called upon to observe Amer -ican education week, December 4-Io, the labor movement, signed by Presi- son, by order of the executive coun- Gil.
 "The purpose of American educa- ton week." it is stated, "is to arouse America to a fuller appreciation of the value of education for the making g of better citizens and also to inspire a deeper and more abiding interest in the children of America.

F. of l.. upon the sub ject of education we learn with grati- hcation the attitude of the American Legion on the subject, and will CO., operate with them and other organ izations in observing education week. ;
 The American labor movement has been in the foremost position in demanding education not only for our youth but for the manhood and womanhood of our country. There fore the executive council of the A. F. of L. has endorsed the movement for education week, December 40, 1921 An appeal is made to all or ganized labor and sympathizers to make, concentrated effort that week for education among all the people of our Country?'

THE PALACE

When a screen drama outdoes by many months the continuous run record of any previous photo dramatic product ion, and when this run IS of such dur ation as to compare with any established by the greatest successes of the spoken drama, then indeed there must be some thing unusual and appealing about the picture and its story. Such IS the case of Over the Hill," the super drama that comes to the Palace for the entire week beginning Sunday evening. "Over the Hill' in establishing its record run of one solid year on Broadway placed itself at the very head of all screen at fractions for no production of the silent drama has possessed such a power of attraction for playgoers. This great record was made possible through sheer dramatic merit, a clean wholesome story and general excellence seen only in the great triumphs of the screen.
 Like many other great productions of the silver sheet that have been booked at the Palace the coming presentation of "Over the Hill" marks the first time that the wonderful picture has been presented at popular price scale. While making its great Broadway run the scale of ad- missions touched the two dollar mark and following the metropolitan run the picture was presented at a local theatre at the same scale. However, the booking policy pursued by MT. s. z. Poli for his theatres makes 1t possible for theatre goers to witness Over the Hilr' at the regular popular price scale.
 The theme of Over the Hill" is moth CT love, and the story IS based on the work of Will Carlton, the poet The action is drawn from an incident that occurred during the boyhood of Carlton, who lived on farm and knew intimately the characters that have been made inn mortal in the screen The incident of the authors life impressed him so vivid ly that he never forgot 1t, and when he had grown to mans estate he made 1t the theme of two of his best loved poems.
 The story tells of a mother love divine "a love which prompts the mother of a brood of six to make every sacrifice to undergo endless weariness and mental suffering in order that her little ones may be provided with comfort. Then comes old age and the departure of her children which with the exception of one case really amounts to deSertion. That one son, the one whom the family had con- sidered the black sheep" comes forth as character jewel, depicting a sons love in manner so marked and vivid as to stand out like a flaming beacon among screen and stage characters.
 Of course the central figure of the story is the little self-sacrihcing mother and this has been made an immortal classic through the artistry of Mary Carr. The interpretation of the mother is one of the greatest delights of the picture and carries with 1t large part

HITCHCOCK WANTS
 INCOME TAX BOOK
 OPEN TO PUBLIC
Know What Laborer Earns and Pays, So Why Not Rich
 Man?

Washington, Dec. 2.-In the closing houre of~the last session of the senate Senator Hitchcock made this statement in reference to the senate's defeat of making tax records public.
 Real estate records are public, per sonal tax records in all the states are public. Why should the tax records of the United States be made private and secret? Why have not the people the right to know what their neighbors pay? We know what the laborer earns, we know what the clerk earns, we know what real estate rents for, we know what our public officials receive, we know the average income of the ordinary man in everyday life.
 "Why should these tax records which deal largely with large incomes, be kept secret? It is said that it is on the ground of private interest; that 1t is on the ground of private rights, MT. President in my opinion, there are no private rights which compare to the public interest ir1 this matter.
 Secrecy is an invitation to fraud Secrecy suggestion corruption. There is nothing like publicity to make our taxes honest, and to make the administration of those taxes honest"

Foxy Cloak Makers
 Try to Trap Strikers

New York, Dec. 2.-Cloak manu- lecturers have failed to trap striking employees into accepting a basis of settlement that would permit the bosses to ignore contract breaking.
 The employees suspended work when told that piece work and the long work week would be enforced, although a contract between the two parties does not expire until next June.
 The employers have been hammer ed from every quarter because Ot their contract breaking, and they now propose that Secretary of Commerce Hoover and Secretary of Labor Davis be empowered to settle disputed points. The "joker' in this offer is found in the statement that the two cabinet officials 'are not to determine the existence of any contracts"
 The garment workers reject this tricky offer and serve notice on their employers that they must reinstate their contract before negotiations are opened.

The resolu- tions winds up as follows:
 Resolved: That we protest against any increase of federal judges until time as a little efficiency is shown by our judges and when it is made evident that they put in as 1neany hours of work as other government employees and the great mass of otr people, and be it further
 Resolved, That we protest that the salaries of the judges be not raised until such time as other hard working govern ment employees have their salaries in- creased and the great mass of our Citi- zens have their wages and salaries in creased to within 50 per cent of what our judges get now, in order that their fanil- ies may also enjoy decent surroundings get decent education and enj Oy some o1 the comforts they can't enj toy now.
