VOTE FOR REPEAL.
The great "Arkansas boom”, for
which everybody is hoping will come
'• great deal sooner with prosperity
for everyone if Arkansas people vote
:n October to repeal the "extra crew
law” affecting railroad operation,
Charles H. Baltzell in charge of the
repeal campaign said Tuesday.
“When the people say by their own
decisive vote that Arkansas is dispos
ed to pe fair to the railroads the large
capital needed to give Arkansas a
’■boom" like California and Florida
have had will notice it and promptly
move into the State, building factor
ies, establishing big Industries and
making the payrolls that mean pros
perity and work for all.
Such industrial development is what
is needed to give the farmer a good
home market for his produce, cotton,
Logs and poultry. It will come just as
soon as the big men of the country
see that the people mean business,
and will not tolerate oppressive and
unjust legislation like these “extra
crew laws.”
