Arkansas

The greatest name on mortal
tongues, a name that is dearest to all
her honorable citizens, name the hon
or of which must be protected the
name of a great commonwealth, the
government of which must always be
reserved to her people. A great state,
the opportunities of which lie within
her soil, and the economic life is de-
pendent upon her soil, and that class
of her citizenship that till the soil.
A state whose opportunities are unex-
celled and whose potential powers are
yet undeveloped, state canopied
with the bluest skies and whose eli
mate is wen regulated by the rays OF
a southern sun, giving it climatic con-
ditions that are unexcelled a state
with the greatest grass, the clearest
streams, the most beautiful hills and
the richest valleys, soil with climat-
ic conditions with an average Of "a in
ches of rainfall, capable Of producing
as many as three crops annually on
the same soil A state whose water
courses are capable of furnishing wa
ter power to supply the Industrial in
terests of the state, whose virgin for
ests of pine and hardwood are unex-
celled; a state whose gas and oil fields
are unexcelled by any such fields in
the world, state of vast mineral re-
sources yet undeveloped that will in
time be unexcelled; state whose cit
izenship is unexceDed.
Arkansas, with all Of these posi-
bilities and resources, is capable Of
producing a greater and higher deyel-
oped civilization. To do this every
high minded citizen and every public
officer ana every law maker should
be broad minded enough to see Ar
kansas as n whole, to see all Of its in
dustries and all of its possibilities
and to work only for the common
good.-Arkansa Union Farmer.

Governor Haskell is favorably i'm
pressed with the opportunities that
would open to the railroad If such a
plan were carried out and he has given
me assurance that an Investigation to
determine its feasibility would be
made by competent engineers. There
fore, in order to have such an ~investi-
CATION undertaken at once, ii would ro
quire only an Indication of interest
and "A willingness to cooperate on the
part of the Saratoga and Encampment
communities. Such "A step should be.
in my judgement. a community effort.
1T has been my purpose for some
time to write you and other friends of
that section, urging the Importance of
a community effort directed toward
getting a definite decision from Gov
ernor Haskell, but the press of other
affairs has resulted in my delaying
the matter.
ut seems to me that the time is
most opportune. There is an i'm
proyement in the financial situation
in the east which would tend to make
the financing Of the extension less
difficult than under less favorable
circumstances, and the interest of the
people is such that every community
through which the road will pass
would be enthusiastic about the ex-
tension of he line into Colorado, and
ready to extend their cordial cooper
alton.
1T is not difficult to visualize and
grow enthusiastic about the benefits
which would come to the entire state

FARM BUREAUS TO CONDEMN
FAILURE TO PASS LOAN ACT
Failure to Place Law OH Statute Books
Means That Farmers Will Lose
Use of 100000 State Funds.

'"The initiative in what will in all
probability swell to Il statewide move
on the part of farm bureaus and all
other organizations interested in farm
welfare was taken at a meeting of the
Gibson Farm Bureau Tuesday even
ing in the form of Il resolution pro-
testing the failure to place IN the
state books the law passed by the re-
cent legislature relative to loaning
state funds to the farmers" says the
Wheatland Times.
The sentiment of that meeting as
expressed by different members was.
that while indiscriminate charges and
criticism should not be entered against
the state administration, nevertheless
the existance of even the possibility of
nulifying vital legislation through the
oversight of II subordinate clerk is in
tolerable, and that legislative enact
ments should be made at the earliest
possible opportunity to provide guaran-
tees against the REPETITION of such IN
| accident.
"A considerable number of local far
mers We're making application for
state loans when the opinion of Attor-
ney General Howard. declaring the law
of no effect. was made public. The
Iullule " pace the INV vi iHe Siiiule
books means that Wyoming farmers
will lose the use of S3,000.000 Of state
funds at an interest rate at least 3
per cent below the average rate
charged by loan companies, or the
loss of about 100000 per year, in in
terest in case the money had been
placed. The feeling is strong among
farmers and ranchers in this vicinity
that the matter should not pass with
out vigorous protest. and that such
failures cannot be condoned as mere
clerical Oversights by any administra-
ton under which they occur.
THE resolution rs passed will be
submitted to the farm bureaus and
other farm organizations over the
state for endorsement, and copies will
be forwarded 10 local and state papers
and to state officials"

What the new road will do for the

THE NORTH & SOUTH RAILROAD.

"S...'r.'-- shcw hat Wyoming
stands eighth in area and forty
seventh in population among these
United States says ]. V. McClintie,
in the Sheridan Post. Evidently
there is o for growth and accom-
mediation of more people. This is a
state of great undeveloped natural re-
sources. Its possibilities are unlimited
in accordance with its known exploita-
ton.
Transportation is the great develop
er. y glance at the map shows m
line through the center of the state,
another through one corner, and an
other along the southern border-only
Il small portion OF the area served with
rail transportation. A further study
reveals the fact that the future line of
the Wyoming North & South railroad
traverses one of the greatest rail-lack-
ing sectors in the United States.
Therefore the project is logical and
based on the sound principle of neces-
sity and should succeed for itself and
bring success to the section 1t is to
serve. Being the largest rail construc-
tiOn project initiated since the out
break of the World war, this road al
ready has attracted wide attention.
ALREADY the period of construction
is under way. Another thirty days
will see literally thousands of men and
teams busily engaged in what will I'm.
doubtedly prove to be one of the most
intense and rapid pieces of railroad
construction that has ever been accom-
plished in the history of railroad build
ing.
""The entry of the North & South
road will mean to n great portion of
Wyoming "A new and more direct outlet

co M ETITIVE FIELD
BASIS SCRAPPED BY
NATIONAL CONFERENCE

NEW YORK, Jan 1S.-The old
central competitive field" basis,
upon which wages and working con-
ditions in the bitumInous coal indus
try have been determined almost
continuously since 1898. was scrapped
today by operators and union Off
cials, comforting on 1923 wage con-
tracts.
In its stead a new "tri-state" com
petitive field was mapped, consisting
of Indiana, Illinois and Ohio, elimi-
mating Pennsylvania. Upon this tri-
states the conferees now hope to pro-
coed with the standard wage rates
which operators and miners through
out the United States may use as a
guide in working out contracts this
spring.
Miners and employers declared, at
the close of today's sessions, that
they were reasonably certain to COM
plete their work within a week. The
interim to April l then would re-
main for the negotiation of new
wage scales throughout the indus
try. existing contracts expiring on
that date.
Agreement of both parties to the
negotiations to proceed on a tri-
state basis was looked upon as a
big stride toward the elimination of
all possibility of strike this season.
1t was the problem over when
operators and miners split last year
the bituminous strike resulting.
The former demanded elimination of
the old "centraI competitive field" in
favor of contracts between owners
and workers in less all-embracing
districts. John l.. Lewis, president
of the United Mine Workers, insisted
on retention of the four-state
method
