U. s. Senator CaraWay
 Addresses Aessmbly

Little Rock, Jan. 1S.-U. s. Senator T. Caraway address ed both houses of the General Assembly yesterday, separately, discussing world condi- tions and the attitude of the United States towards foreign countries. He declared that there will be a poitic- al revolution in two years, when the people will vote against conditions which have been brought about by the Republican administration.
 There is not a thing on earth could say that you do not already know" said Sen. Caraway. q have heard only words of commendation about your body, but I cant say as much about the one to which I belong The best thing Congress does and the thing that we are condemned the most for is to kill legislation. We are ere ating new offices for lame ducks whose only duty is to draw their salaries. 1 understand that it is your policy to return the government to the people efficiency and real service to the peo- pie will permit sixteen per cent of l all the earnings of our people are now consumed in taxation. Tn other words every cne of us must work one day 1 in the week for the government.
 We are rapidly tending to a Blu reaucracy and we are already excell, ing even Germany, which was the greatest Bureaucratic government on earth before the war. If we are to have patriotic citizenship, We must take the hand of the government off the activities of the people-and I do not mean by that to make it easier to get a drink of wood alcohol. Tn. government is not giving the people an adequate return for what it takes from them.
 There is an invisible tax collector reaching out his ghostly hand and taking one half of everything the farmer grows and the manufacturer makes. You do not see him, but he is there, nevertheless. That collector is the isolation of our people from the commerce of the world. We have giv- en up more in the last three years than the entire amount of the National debt because We have no foreign mar kets. We were told that we must let ftirUT29S~ alone and ill consequence we have suffered 1i.tssrpm a lack of world market and 25O, LOCO, o. ,eeeeanlAs ,,eoss of the Old World have gone down into starv- ation and a whirlpool of hate. Europe now owes us $11 ,0OO,0 ,00O of dollars remitting one cent Of it. But, it VIII never be paid. England will pay some of it's debts. but the others will pay nothing. They are keeping all they can get for armament. France has the largest standing army of any na- tion on earth. It has ready for service 100000 men. I
 We broke our pledge to the men we sent across the seas. We promised the hundreds of thousands of gallant soldiers that we would make condi- tions such that there would be no mol Y war, but conditions are as menacng now as they ever were. We have merely shifted from one autocracy and military despotism in Europe to al. other France believing itself the say four of the world is entering upon a career of conquest.
 "Conditions in Europe are most la.f mentable. The financial situation is deplorable. The German mark before the was was worth 25c in our money; now you can buy 10000 of them for $1.00 A railroad engineer in Austria now receives the equivalent of $S7 a year; street car conductors $2.00 a month; a competent stenographer $4.00 a month, and skilled laborers 10c a day While I was in Austria I paid .250,000 kronen for a nights lodging. This amounted to COG, but before the war it would have been $50,000. There is milk only for children. The people are naked and hungry, but they are wllling to work and buy your products, but you are denied the market. War stalks potentially CT actually all over 
 anywhere without it's reflex being felt in every land. But, do not want to go to Europe with arms again or loan them money. Yet, We must do some thing to help save Europe in order that %e may save ourselves.
