j E. Maier and little boy of Charleston Route 5 were here to. day to meet his son-in.law, Ar- thur Marcussen, and family. who moved to Monticello a year or more ago to get rich. After they had given that country a fair trial they went to Hot Springs. and are now returning to their old home where peace and plenty fill the land. and industry and frugality bring as a reward a comfortable home and a well loaded table of a greater variety of food than any other country on earth. We hope Arthur and family win not chase any more rainbows. but be content to gath CT their gold in quantities less than pots full at a time.

We have had recent experience over Arkansas. where legislation was enacted over night costing the people millions, without their consent. am tired of that sort To ofpower. This proposed amend. ment is based on distrust of the people. It is not satisfied with what they vote on themselves. But the very acma of slavery is seen when you come to the pro- posed per capita tax. What will the poor man and his wife and two or three adult daughters do? pay! or move? There is another thing. This proposition really has hidden under it's wing a super system of Public Instructions They drop the word free" What is meant is to set up a super system of instruction whereby grown young men and women. may be educat- ed in teaching, law. medicine and agriculture. may be at your expense; and if you don't like it, you can move to some other sea- port! It will be no longer 2 free system. They mean that the poor as we'll as the rich shall support this super-s y stem. Your old system will be dead. There is to be a grand, high brOwed. super-system; our little one horse teachers will be thrown in the scrap heap and big costly fellows will be on the job, with big salaries. managed from Little Rock. and you will simply stand around and look in at the window and pay the fiddler.

Proposed Ammendment No. IA

wish you may digest the pro- position which heads my letter. It is proposition to wipe out free schools as known to us and our children. Read | and digest 1t. and then tell your neighbor to do the same.
 We love the old free school. The people of this state have have hugged that system to their bosom; have brought to it's altar precious gifts. and had seen to it. to the extent of their ability. that it prosper.
 But what Is this new extra ordinary proposal? It is to strike down the free school, and set up
 Public Instruction. " Read it; read it for yourselves. It is run hing in the papers; but so made up as an advertisement that few people are drawn to exmine into it's autocratic program.
 What does it dol Listen: In the first place, 1t proposes to establish super instruction in State units, in County Units. These are to be in charge of State School officers, and the taxes. of three classes, to be levied. not by the vote of the people. but by Legislative levy. That is not all; all constitutional limitation on school taxation will be stricken down. Digest that! Mark you, this proposition will be on your ticket at the next election 1t is such thing as was never dreamed of before in free country such as we have had Why do not the newspapers deal with 1t in their columns? There is everywhere an ominous silence, as though it were being artfully slipped on to the election. And, mark you. if you forget to vote, y6lr vote will count any way in support of it. Thee peo- pie must be aroused. Turn to the Constitution: The whole of Article XIV of that sacred in- strument IS to be torn out bodily by this new and most alarming proposal. What is article XIV of the pr esent constitution :? Read it ,. Amongst other things. 1t limits taxation for free schools, and fixes the age limits of child ren who may attend your schools. That article, l say will be strick. en down. You will have no age limit; you will have no tax limit you will have no tax limit; the legislature will be absolutely un- bridled, in the hands of the lob- by. while you are at home plow- ing trying to make ends meet!
