MENA’S DEBT—WHY NOT FACE
THE TASK NOW?
While it is generally conceded by
our present city officials that they do
not know just how Mena stands finan
cially, it is evident the debt is. for a
city of Mena’s class and revenues,
near appalling. At the best the total
is very close to the full gross rev
enues for three years, and, by the
statement of one of the officials,
those in charge during the past year
have come nearer keeping within the
revenue than any administration in
recent years, and yet lacked con
siderable of doing so.
The problem is so big it is not
strange that those attending the
meeting Tuesday night hesitated to
offer a solution, or accept more or
Jess half-digested suggestions.
But Mena has lots of company, both
in and out of her class, and a con
spicuous example is that of our
state’s eapitol and biggest city. And ,
an article in the Arkansas Gazette of
March 1C, explain somewhat the fi
nanrial situation of Little Rock and
carries with it a suggestion of a way
this situation may be met—in short,
to secure a judgment of the Federal
- court causing a levy of an additional
5 mill tax on the property of the
city, rnere is, in tnia, more oi an
element of equal treatment, of fair- 1
ness, than in th# proposed occupation 1
tax, in that all wojfld share equally in
the burden for which all, one way or *
another, are responsible,
•# Here, in the main, is the Gazette
article:
r Under present conditions the
best thing that can happen to the
city of Little Rock is for the feder
al court to render a judgment that
would cause the levy of an addi
tional five mills on the taxable
property of Little Rock—a tax
that in seven years would enable
_ thf city to pay its debt.
\f ' This was the conclusion reached
by Mayor Brickhouse In a state
ment yesterday after failure of
• himself and other city officials to
reach a satisfactory agreement
with P, W. Chapman of Chicago
for renewal of $325,000 in city
warrants which fall due July 25.
l, ''This is going to be the ulti
mate solution of the city’s finan
cial problem under the existing
laws and it will take place sooner
p _fir later,” said the mayor’s state
ment. ‘‘It has been suggested
that if it is at all possible the mat
I ter ought to be held over until
some future time, but if to do
that is going to increase the bur
dens of the taxpayers by paying
the high rates of interest charged)
our judgement is that it had better
be done now regardless of what
administration created the debt or
for What purpose it was created."
The mayor said that the levy
ing of the additional tax by fed
, «ral court order would be a meas
ure of economy. He said that ]
! the city now Is paying between
$40,000 and $50,000 a year more
than it should pay in interest.
The additional five-mill tax would
be $5 on each $1,000 assessment,
which he thought wou'd not he
burdensome on any taxpayer.
‘‘The city's property is rapidly
deteriorating," said the mayor.
“Repairs are badly needed on all
i buildings and the parks are great
ly iti need of improvement. This
work cannot he undertaken if the
city is compelled to pay the pres
ent rate of interest on its loans.”
I *> THF ONLY RIGHT WAY.
At least three times recently The
Star has printed court news that has
been objectionable to those involved.
Twice, in advance of giving the pub
licity, The Star has been approached
witn luuuruu?, kiuuij', uiv CHincsi re -
quest* that the items be suppressed,
and in each case has given practically
Use same reply—that The Star, if for
no other reason than that of retaining
it* own self-respect, must treat all
such cases alike, *
! And it has done so.
This sort of thing is not new to The
Star, nor to any newspaper Nor Is it
pleasant. Sometimes the news in
question affects some poor farmer boy
in overalls, who perhaps has got into
bad company and has broken some
law maybe only being intoxicated—
and wants to spare his parents or the
folks back home the hurt of his indis
cretion. This boy may have no in
fluence, nor his friendship mean much
to the paper.
Another time it may be the son of a
man of influence, or it may be a man
who, because of his financial, business
or social standing, feeds he should be
above the annoyance of having his
frailties mentioned in print. Such
men sometimes make demands or
threaten dire calamity if their indis
cretions are made public—and the an
swer Is the same:
The Star is not responsible for their
getting into court, and if they do, the
■ews will be given.
And. sometimes it seems that there
are those who can 'do some pretty
wild stunts, if street report* and ru
*VS« §T« to be believ«d„and yet keep
therefore obf of pHKt ttMB wot*-Tlx
Star’s province nor purpose to prin'
such rumors.
But, all in all. The Star is not i

A Town’s Funeral.
A town that never has anything to do in a public
way is on the way to the cemetery. Any citizen who
will do nothing for his town is helping to dig the grave.
A man that “cusses” the town furnishes the coffin. The
man who is so selfish as to have no time from his busi
ness to give affairs is making the shroud. The man
who will not advertise is driving the hearse. The man
who is always pulling back from any public enterprise
throws bouquets on the grave. The man who is so
stingy as to be howling hard* times, preaches the
funeral, sings the doxology. And thus the town lies
buried from all sorrow and care.—Downs (Kans.) News.

'Dm their very nature, bring hurt on
ie guilty and innocent alike. But it
nes believe in fairness to all, and it
sea believe that publicity acts as a
pterrent to many who would other
isa be more careless of their conduct
nd thus more of a menace to the
eace and good order in the com
mnity.
The Star prints the news without
ias and without fear.
It is the only right way.
Many a good housewife is beginning
i have that uneasy feeling that pre
>des the spring housecleaning. Is it ■
[>t time the menfolks became inter
red in cleaning up the alleys and '
leant lots—or is it really necessary

nyhow, it might be well to keep in ,

The Federal government, it will be

d only for helping those who help
hemselves, How much will Polk

Maybe Mena, in securing that road
ravel rejected by the highway en
■ineers, got the best of the deal—but
rhat sort of business was It for the

uet that Was ndt even near the re

While there may be no actual con
nection, it is very fitting that the so

With the recount of ballots giving

not put both names on the ticket for

REVIEWS WORK
IN LEGISLATURE i
y
rreeman L. Johnson, Representative j
of Polk County, Gives Constituents
Inspiration on What W'as and Was
Not Done, and Why. c
I
Freeman L. Johnson, representative e
>f Polk county in the House of tne
13rd General Assembly, on request of ^
rhe Star, has prepared the following r
irief summary of some of the more (
mportant things accomplished at the c
•ecent session, as well as indicating t
lis views on things that were not
lone:
Penitentiary Commission. 1
One of the first acts of the legisla- '
ure was to abolish the penitentiary
ommission and substitute an honorary *
■ommission for the management of
:his institution, to save $30,000 in sal
iries, and to add to the efficiency and 1
5tod management. 1
Arkansas Corporation Commission. t
This commission was abolished and
replaced with a salaried comission
known as the railroad commission, at i
a saving of $45,000 for the biennial l
period. This commission gives to s
»ach city and town management of its <
own government, which was denied |
under the old commission. j
Board of Control.
I introduced and passed a bill thru J
the Hobae to abolish this board, but ;
when it reached the Senate it was ,
killed, on promises from some of the
leading senators that they would sup
port another bill of the same kind, I
immediately introduced another bill
and sent it to the Senate with onlv
one vote against it, but this bill was
not called up for Anal passage until
the last day of the session at 10
o'clock and was debated until 12:10,
time for adjournment sine die. It
died on the calendar.
One of the members of the old board
of control has resigned and one has
been indicted for perjury and another
charge which I do not recall. At the
same time the Senate killed our bills
to abolish this expensive office it
passed thru the Senate a bill to give
the board its appropriation of $43,
000, and when this reached the House
we put it to sleep. This leaves a
board with one member apd a secre
tary without funds to run on during
the next biennial period.
Inheritance Tax Attorney.
The House abolished this office,
which would have been a saving of
$10,000, but the measure was killed in
the Senate.
The Tax Commlsaioit.
The House passed a bill to abolish
this expensive commission but it was!
put to sleep in the Senate by the same
professional politicians that killed
other measures of this kind. This
would have been a saving of $28,000
to the taxpayers of Arkansas.
Boiler Inspector.
The House abolished this depart
ment but its efforts were killed in the
Senate. The House refused to make
any appropriation for maintenance.
The Highway Commission.
The Highway Attorney was abol
ished and the department was con
siderably trimmed. It had asked for
an appropriation of $1,300,000, and we
gave it $810,000, of which 70 per
cent is auto tax wnicn goes nacK to tne
counties paying same, and 30 per cent
goes to the Highway Department to
handle the Federal Aid which is due
Arkansas. Thus 70 per cent of all
the auto tax collected goes hack to the
counties.
Severence Tax.
The Severence tax bill passed both
house and 1 think its a very import
ant bill. A tax of 1 per cent is placed
upon coal, gas, oil, diamonds, brick,
bauxite and other minerals taken
from the soil. Lumber was exempted
from this measure. This tax will
bring in to the state treasury $150,
000 to $200,000 per year at the present
rate, and if the resources of the state
continue to be developed it will be one
of the most important revenue pro
I ducers that we have in the state.
locaiT bills.
Sheriff and Collector.
I separated the office of sheriff and
f collector which is not only a saving
I [ from a financial standpoint but by
j which efficiency-be had. At times
l when the sheriff is malinfr'Ms colleo
i tion, he is called upon to perform
some duty as sheriff and can't very
r well leave hie collection ef taxes to
do It. If he does not do it there is a
uty not performed and one man can’t
ery well catch criminals and collect
axes the same time. Not every time
'e elect a man that will make a good
olleetor will make a good sheriff,
'his bill goes into effect January 1,
923.
Hog Law for Polk County.
I passed the Hog Law for Polk
■hich goes into effect between 1st and
Oth of May.
Schol Superintendent.
I repealed the salary law. for the
ounty superintendent and this salary
uestion will be left to the Board of
Iducation, but the salary shall not
xceed $1,800 per year.
Mena Road Tax.
I repealed the law which gives to
enter Township 50 per cent of the
oad tax collected ip the city of Mena.
Tnder my bill, Mena receives 80 per
ent of her 3 mill tax, with 20 per
ent left to Center township.
The Mena-Egger Road.
I passed a bill thru the House re
ealing Road District No. 7, but this
ms killed in the Senate.
No emergency clause has been at
ached to any of my local bills.
Equal Rights for Women.
We have given to the women of Ar
ansas equal guardianship. Also have
;iven them the right to hold office in
he s^ate.
Oul Kvfetises.

If the Senate had voted with us we

Governor MsRae sat with the speak
er during the dosing hour and made a
brief talk, in whfcm he said: “You
gentlemen deserve the thanks and
plaudits of the people of Arkansas.
You have redeemed as far as you
could every promise made the people.
If there be any pledge unfulfilled, it
does not lie at the door of the House.
You have labored faithfully and have
performed your duty well and are
worthy the thanks and confidence of
the citizens of Arkansas. This war
fare for reform haa only begun and
when you return to your constituency
and report, I am sure they will ap
prove your action and that the good
work will continue. Without dispar
agement to any other General As
sembly, I will say that this body has
done more work than any other ses

he “wanted to get rid of her” Virgil

wife who was sitting on the bank of a
small stream near here, about two
weeks ago, and struck her over the
head, according to an alleged confes
sion made by Clark yesterday. Clark,
after striking and stunning his wife,

FARM LOAN BONDS
WILL BE OFFERED
$75,000,000 Hill Be Pieced on Market
for Subscription, Says Treas
ury Officials.
Washington, March 17.—A new is
sue of farm loan bonds to the amount
of approximately $76,00,000 probably
will be offered for subscription in the
next few days, treasury officials said
today.
“In the present market, the bond
rate will have to be advanced to five
per cent,” Commissioner Lobdell said
“The interest rate to the borrowers
will have to be correspondingly ad
vanced to six per cent.
, “The farm loart board is hopefu

of the farmer of the country, but n<

“Twins in Appearance,” One Is Slain j
to Collect on Other’s Life, Police
Say—Youth Arrested, Woman
Changes Story.
Warsaw, Ind., March 16.—Part of
the mystery of the dual disappearance
of two boy friends who looked alike !
and the finding of the body of one of
them dead at a railroad crossing has
been cleared at the inquest at Bour
bon. Mrs. Lydia Decker has repudiat
ed her identification of the body as i
that of her son, Virgil, and has been
arrested and the boy has been iden
tified as that of Leroy Lovett.
At the same time the inquest was
held last night, Virgil Decker was
found at Marion, Ind., and taken in- ;
to custody. Virgil recently was in- ;
sured for $19,000 payable to his
brother, Fred, and some of the poli
cies carried a special indemnity for
accidental death which increases the
total insurance to $24,000.
- Decker and Lovett disappeared Fri
day and the body was found Satur
day. Decker’s family steadfastly
maintained it was Virgil’s body until ]
last night when Mrs. Decker said she \
knew the body was not her son, but |
Lovett, whom she knew well.
Expect More Arrest*
After the inquest the coroner re
turned a verdict that Lovett had been
murdered by an unknown person. It
was said by authorities that the body
was taken to the railroad crossing to
cover up the crime. It first appeared
that death had been caused by a train.
Decker was questioned at Marion as
to where he had been Saturday or
Sunday and he had said he “didn't
know.” He had spent Monday night
at the home of his uncle in Marion.
He denied he had ever been near the
scene of the tragedy the day it oc
curred. The authorities have indicat
ed there would be more arrests made
today in the case, which is said to be
one of the strangest ever to come to
their attention.
II! Feeling Existed
It was brought out at the inquest
that there had been ill feeling be
tween the Decker and Lovett families.
There was no indication, however,
that this had anything to do with a
murder.
Officials gave no indication of what
action they intend to take against the
two persons held or of what charges
they intend to file against them.

OFFICE BUT NO SALARY.
And J. D. Newcomb, State Boiler In-.
spector, la Guessing.
Little Rock, March 17.—J. D. New
comb, state boiler inspector, is in the
attitude of having an office without a
salary. His was one of the offices
which the recent session of the Gen
eral Assembly attempted to abolish.
The House was particularly antagon
istic toward this office and persistent- i
ly refused to make an appropriation
to pay the salary and expenses. It
also passed a bill to abolish the of
fice, but it was killed in the Senate,
and the law creating the office there
fore remains upon the statues. The
only appropriation which passed both
Houses was to nay the salary of the
inspector for the months of January
and February. Mr. Newcomb said
yesterday that he did not know what
would be done about maintaining the
office.

GAME COMMISSION O. K.
Despite Lots of Rowing Cornea Out
Better Than Last Year.
Little Rock, March 17.—After all
the opposition to the Game and Fish
Commission, it came out of the 43rd
General Assembly in better shape
than it was last year. The Commis
sion is supported entirely by license
and fees paid by hunters and unless
the revenue is sufficient to meet the
appropriation, it must necessarily be
cut snort, however, the revenue has
always exceeded the expenses and last
year there was a surplus of $26,000
in the Game and Fish funds. The ap
propriation for 1919-1920 was $50,000
and this has been increased for the
next biennial period to $80,000, which
will enable the Commission to do a
great deal of propagation work which
has proved so profitable heretofore.
MOB AT LITTLE ROCK
FAII^S IN LYNCHING PLAN
Little Rock, March 18.—A mob ol
1 2.000 vonnw T.iHlo
j inarched on the state penitentiary to
| night, intent on lynching Emanuel
West, negro, who was identified this
afternoon by a young white woman as
the negro who assaulted her last Sat
urday night.
A crowd of several thousand per
sons in motor cars watched the scene
while a large detachment of police,
deputy sheriffs and a machine gun de
tachment of the military police of the
third division despersed’the mob.
