MORE ABOUT The
new HIGHWAY BILL

Little Rock, Oct. 15.-The extraordi.
nary session Of the Forty-fourth Gen.
eral Assembly has passed into history
II was called into being by Governor
McRae over the protest Of a large ele-
ment Of citizens, especially the Farm
ers' Union, while probably larger
element approved his action in at
tempting to provide relief for a tax
burdened people. II was largely q
question Of the point of view, rather
than any question of genuine emer-
gency.
The public is quite familiar with the
proceedings. There was a faction,
particularly in the House, that was ap-
parently opposed from the first TO any
sort Of highway legislation. They
fought all proposed measures and with
the exception Of a proposition advan-
ced by Mr.. Fades of Conway offered
no other solution. Mr. Fades propos-
cd that the state should take over all
the bonded Indebtedness of the various
counties but this did not meet with
approval and when the final test came
he was among the thirty-fye members
OF the lower house who walked out at
noon Monday and did not return. He
has made the statement that he pro
poses to initiate a bill he introduced
and submit II to the people.
The bill which was passed and is
known as the Harrelson bill, provides
for the construction, reconstruction
and maintenance Of state highways by
the state, for distribution Of Federal
aids ON the basis Of population and
for the distribution of gasoline and
automobile taxes in accordance with
n graded schedule, based largely upon
the amount Of outstanding bonds. The
representatives Of each county were
Pocahontas star herald., 1923-10-19

given discretion im the classification Of
their counties. The distribution ranges
from all taxes placed in the county
highway improvement fund to all Of
/ devoted TO the retirement Of bonds,
many of the counties splitting $3.50
Governor McRae and other friends
of the measure, which is essentially
the same as the Administration Bill
with the exception of the classification
of counties, declare that this is the
greatest piece of construction legisla-
tion that has been put upon the statute
books in the history of the state. They
predic. that when the people under
stand il and see the effective operation
of the new system they will commend
those responsible for II rather than
criticise They say that it will mean
the repair and reconstruction of thou
sands of miles Of highway and the re-
duction of half of the taxes which the
people have been paying. The burden
of highway improvement is placed
properly upon the owners of auto
mobiles and the users of the roads,
instead of being exclusively upon the
owners of real estate adjacent to the
highways.
Governor McRae says that his plan
contemplates the eventual removal of
all property taxes and the adoption
of system whereby the state govern
ment as well as public roads shall be
financed by taxes on privileges.
The state is to be congratulated up
ON the prevalence of harmony and
good will in the departments which
are again functioning without friction.
In accordance with the bill passed dur
ing the last days of the session for the
distribution of S3,OO0,OOO annually of
Federal aid Randolph county will re-
ceive $30,33O.O0
Lawrence county will receive $37,-
$4,000.
Sharp county will receive s19,O50.-
90.
Clay county will receive $4s,71O.O0.
Fulton county will receive $19,14O.-
90.
In the classification Of counties Ran
dolph goes in e class, which means
that % per cent Of all money received
will go for the retirement of outstand-
ing bonds and 75 per cent for road
construction and maintenance. Law
renee county is in class B which means
that 80 per cent will be used for bond
retirement and 10 per cent for road
II is estimated that this county will
require annually s21 10000 to pay in
terest and principle ON road bonds.

One of the interesting exhibits at the
State Fair last week was displayed in
the womens building. 1t is quilt
made by Mrs. Thomas Chapman, grand
mother of Gov Thomas McRae, and is
more than 100 years old. In the same
building is shown what is claimed to
be the oldest and best preserved quilt
in Arkansas. II was made in April
1779 and is therefore 124 years old.
II is the work of the grandmother of
James A. Clifford and was made in
Wait county, North Carolina. 1t was
given to Mrs p. p. Hill Of Cabot in
1873. The quilt is a beautiful piece
of workmanship, made Of home spun
thread and lining from home picked

values have never been SO low as to-
day in the history of the state.
A definite plan is our first es-
sential. Second we must have a
park commission elected by the peo-
pie, people with high ideals and who
are all working for the same princip-
al.
There are two ways of getting 4
park. First by a gift from a citizen.
Second by having park commission
levy taxes to buy land for parks.
But park commission, duly elect
ed, may buy (by lveying taxes) and
direct parks under the law, for the
law does not give the city commits
sion power to levy taxes on parks
or direct them.
The JOY Of the doing is the great
est JOY Of all after all.

fighting.
Two fights seem certain those

period, it is well to give you, once
, and for all, his own thoughts con
corning the Kilbane- Muldoon- Dundee
so-called talkfest raging so healthily
in New York.
''Frankly,' Johnny told the writer

said.
"But get this straight: have
never refused and never will refuse
! to meet Dundee so long as | am in
the game. All talk to the contrary
is rot. The only time l was slated
to meet him, since our fight 10 years

so, if my terms are met. I don't give
a rap who is put against me.

Johnny would like to see the

Then he will be willing and anxious
to meet Dundee-at 1876 pounds

control Of credit expansion by banks

control of private construction dur

'haps the institution of unemploy-

Johnny, it must be pointed out, is
a free born American citizen in free
America, and has all the powers OF
America at his command. He doesn't
say anything about this side OF 1t,
and it is hoped he won't have to eX-
hibt test of strength. Moreover,
he hasn't capitalized the title by the
atrical work, etc.
Bot one thing seems certain. he
will fight both Criqui and Dundee
this summer, and to quote him as to
bouts after that, "why shouldn't ]
take on some more as long as ] am

The game little champion, 33 years
old, and with a head of hair topped

husky frame, is only one pound over
weight. He looks to be in excellent
shape, and although he is not given

still expects TO be the champ after
| his Criqui and Dundee meets.
Johnny and his helpers, among
them AL Zicmer, Tom Mclaughlin
and 'O'MalYey, get up about 6:l5
a. m. A light breakfast Of eggs and
toast follows, and then about six
