PHILADELPHIA LAWYER

We have heard a whole lot about the intellectual powers ot the fhit- adelphia Lawyer To him all prop lematical matters of mystery are finally submitted for solution on the ancleh' theory that he possesses wisdoh rnna a1alelled and unequaled i'll the fer tile brain of his fellowmen.
 If then. the story of this mighty man with master mind is not all to- gether a myth. il would be good idea for the legislature to make an appropriation to cover his fee for drafting q road law which would be acceptable to the legislature sS q whole and to the people of Arkansas in general
 Two years ago We entered upon Il great road improvement plan in Ar kansas: parts of the plan were wrong as evidenced by the Grand Jury report in Pulaski County showing a reckless and extravagant contract. whereby the Engineers were being enormously over paid. Many minor defects were found in the several road laws of the state but that dosent mean that the whole idea is wrong.
 This thing of one legislature pass ing certain laws and the next legis lature repeating them, and the nexi legislature seeking q reintroductiol of thcm-furni>hes our thought of tht need of the lawyer m Philadelphia that he might point the way "out oi the mud" for the benefit of the people who pay the taxes in Arkansas.

ABOUT THE ROAD LAWS.

Editor Daily Picayune:=-
 l do not think the people in Prescott understand the nature of an amend mcnt which l understand has been adopted by the Senate to the three bills introduced and passed by the House of Representatives for the repeal of the three road districts. that is. from Pres eott to Whites Ferry. from Prescott tu Cale and from Prescott to Willisville.
 As the bills were introduced by Mr. Mum and passed through the House, thcy provide for the repeal of the laws and also provide that the Chancery Court shall have jurisdiction to settle all claims against the districts.
 The amendment adopted by the Sen ate provides that the commissioners shall settle all claims and levy tax after the amount is ascertained, for the payment of these claims II pro vide> for five commissioners on each district at salary of five dollars per day each making fifteen men at gross salary of $75.00 per day. Under this provision it will cost the tax payers not less than S2,0o000 10 wind up these districts, whereas it can be done by the Chanccry court for less than $2O0.00. mean. of course, the cost yet to accrue.
 But the unfair proposition which is 50 unfair to Prescott is that the amend mont provides that this tax shall be levied on all of the real estate in each district according to the assessed value of the property for State and county taxes. That wonld mean that each piece of land in Prescott should pay three times as much as q piece of land in the country of the same value. This k absolutely unfair to Prescott For example. A lot in Prescott valued at S1 .0aO. an n basis of five mills, would pav 5000 on the Whites Ferry road, S5. .a0 OF the Gale road and $5.00 on the WilliSville road Total S1JD0. A farm in the country valued on the tax books at S1 ,o00 would pay only $500 being the tax on one road.
 Do the people of Prescott want this amendment?
 believe in justice alike to the people in the country and the people in the town. Respectfully,
 I. O. A. Bush.

FORDS CUT $500
ON GASOLINE BILLS
Other Cars Show Pr0portionate
Saving.

A new carburetor which cut down
gasoline consumption of any motor
and reduces gasoline bills from one
third to one-half is the proud
achievement of the Air-Friction
Carburetor Co., GAG Madison St,
Dayton, Ohio. This remarkable in
vention not only increases the pow
er of all motors from 80 to 90 per
cent, but enables every one to run
slow on high gear. 1t also makes
it easy to start a Ford or any other
car in the coolest weather. You
can use the very cheapest grade OF
gasoline or half gasoline aud half
kerosene and still get more power
and more mileage than you now
get from the highest test gasoline.
Many Ford owners say they new
get as high as 45 to so miles to
gallon of gasoline. So sure are
the manufacturers of the immense
saving their new Carburetor will
make that they offer to send it on
80 days trial to every car owner.
Can be put on or taken off in a few
minutes by anyone. All who want
to try it should send their name,
address and make Of car to the
manufacturer at once. They also
want local agents, to whom they
offer exceptionally large profits.
