The Cordney Bill.

The Fordney tariff bill challenges at

attention it challenges. 1t is q very
important legislative proposition.

account, protection remains the policy
of the republican party.
But there are divisions Of opinion
within the party as to the application
of the policy. There always have been.
No proposed revision Of the tariff has
ever failed to show them.
They are not more pronounced now
that in the past. But they are pro-
nounced. and must be dealt with in the
spirit of compromise. Otherwise, a
situation may arise injurious to the
business interests of the country, and
| disastrous to the party now in power.
This fact seems to be fully appre-
ciated on Capitol Hill. The repub.
licans are busy with conference.-the

The House will dispose Of the meas
ure promptly. Debate will be compare
lively brief. and regulated after party
fashion.
This will make the Senate's work the
more interesting; and that a warm
tussle will take place in that body is
the general belief.
The republicans are pledged to tariff
revision on protection lines. and If they
succeed in uniting on a measure re.

able to enter the next campaign

Army Reductions.

The President, In signing the Army
appropriation bill. states plainly an
embarrassment that was perhaps not
fully understood when demand was
made for reduction Of the military
force of the country. Under the old
Army size standard men were enlisted
for specific terms Of service. In effect
the United States made a contract with
each Of those men to maintain him for
the specified time as q member Of the
military organization. To discharge
those men in order to reduce the Army
to the size stated in the appropriation
act, $50. 200. would. the President fees,
be unfair, tantamount to a breach of
contract.
1t is estimated that in the normal
run of service conditions about one.
half Of the ordered reductions will be
effected through the expiration of
terms Of enlistment. This will leave as
many more to be gained through abso.
Lutte dismissals. The President pledges
every possible effort to increase the
number without actually mastering
out men who wish to remain in the
service to the end Of their enlistment
periods. This may still leave an ex.
cess Of strength over that for which
Congress has now appropriated. II

President now notifies Congress that
he will keep it informed on this score
and. in the event OF a serious block.
ade between the state Of the funds
and the size of the force. he will ask
for relief from the embarrassment
which such a situation would entail.
In brief. the President tells Congress
that it is impossible to reduce the
Army to the specified figure without
breaking a plain obligation to the men
now enlisted. Violation Of that obliga.
ton would have serious effect upon
the morale Of the enlisted forces. 1t
would make difficult recruiting in the
future. 1t would put the government s

By Dr. J. H. Reynolds,

President of Hendrix College. Many people in Conway last June in the Christian education campaign subscribed literally to Hendrix Col lege. 1 appreciate so much the re- newed expression of the loyalty of Conway to the college. Her first payment on these subscriptions is now due. I am sure that the people will be as prompt in paying as they were generous in subscribing
 have been asked to give in a series of brief communications to the Daily Log Cabin Democrat the big oppor- tunity now before the people for helping the college. Hendrix has a contract with the General Education Board of New York, for $10O,0O0 which expires March l. The General Board pays on this $100,000 in pro- portion as the college receives from its friends at the ratio of one to three. This means that every dollar paid to the college now brings B 1-3 cents from New York. In other words your dollar, if paid now, be- comes at once $133 1-3. A payment of S150 brings $50 from New York.
 Moreover, our friends should re- member that if the college has not collected in full by March 1, the con- tract lapses and the college will lose the unmatched balance. For instance if We fail to collect the last S30,000, we will lose the last S10,000 from New York. The college still has $60,00 to collect between now and March 1 in order to close it out in full.
