the childden have ADDED much

look at the circus of toC'av in
a new and better light The
circus today is welcomed in
most every town, and right it

the best educational institut-

Perhaps it might be better-there
would be fewer laws. An air-tight
amendment prohibiting all local legis-
latiOn would help some. An electrical
voting device, recording every vote as
cast and requiring but ten seconds to
take the vote of the whole House, as
done in many states, would be another
aid TO deliberatiOn and orderly pro-
cedure. Still another helpful reform
would be to take off the 60-day limit
place the members on salary, and re-
quire them to come as often and stay
as long as might be necessary for the
transaction of business, just as is done
i'm Congress. These are matters of de-
tail, but even more fundamental is the
necessity of electing to the Legislature
the biggest and busiest men of each
community, men who have to make a
sacrifice to serve the public as law
makers.
1t was rather cruel and unnecessary
for attorneys in the Hill case last
week, in the examination of veniremen
as to their qualifications to act as
jurors, to ask them if they were pre-
judiced against a man because he had
served in the Arkansas Legislature.

Twelve and a half cents of every
dollar of the combined income of Amer
lean people during the past year went
into taxes, according to a study in
taxation made by the national Indus
trial Conference Board. The total
burden of federal, state and local taxes
has nearly doubled in proportion to
national income since 1913, the board
says, rising from go per cent in 1913
to 12.5 per cent in 1924
"while the increase of taxation in
proportion to national income in 1921
in part was due TO increased state and
local tax levies, it was part, also, due
to decrease in national income dur
ing that year." the board says.
THE national income in 1924 is
estimated at S63,00O,00O,0OO, as against
S65, 200, 100000 in 1923, representing a
decrease of three per cent for the year

to quarrels about money. If men and
women cannot get along, can better
arrangements be expected between EN-
ployer and employee, buyer and seller,
borrower and lender, the thrifty and

If husband will lie to wife, or wife
to husband, can we expect truth from
the less close relationship of buyer
and seller? If a woman cannot trust
the man she loves, and forces him to
sign on the dotted line of marriage
contract, can we ask a banker to let
citizen have all the money he wants
without a mortgage?
If husband and wife go to war, can
