number of books entitled, I urn
ing on The Light”, just received
from the Publicity Committee of
the Arkansas Press Association.
This book is an interesting and
instructive campaign document
in behalf of Act No- 3, the Pub
licity Law, which will be voted
on in September by the people.
It shows how waste of public
funds through extravagance, in
efficiency or downright dishon
esty can be stopped and will be
stopped by the new law; how
taxes will be equalized, good
government promoted and a
spirit of civic pride and patriot
ism will be fostered by the pub
licity law which is founded upon
the principle, “The Public Has
A Right to Know-” These books
are for those who take an intel
ligent interest in the public
questions and are not for indis
criminate circulation, but a
copy will be given without cost
to those who call at this office or
^ send a request

The principal gainers under
the Bond Issue Amendment will
be the small towns of the state,
which cannot now, under the ex
isting laws, raise the funds to
build water and sewer systems.

Act No. 3
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, July 31- —The
theory advanced by certain op
ponents of Act No. 3 that all
the acts and amendments sub
mitted under the Initiative and
Referendum have been invalid
ated by insufficient publication
is not supported by the opinion
of Attorney General Moose. He
says that the adoption of the
measures by the people will cure
any possible defects or irregu
larities in the submission. Un
der this ruling if the people
could have a chance to vote on
an act, and should adopt it, with
out its having been published at
all, it would be a valid law. Any
insufficiency in the petition or
the manner of submission must
; be shown prior to the election

State National Reorganization.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, July 31-—Tenta
tive plans are being considered
for the re-organization of the

Examiner that it is in a solvent
! condition, the public regained
[much of its confidence in the in
stitution and those behind it.
Its affairs are now in the hands
of a liquidating committee.

highjf respected resident will
banish all doubt:
J. A. Baird, 214 Main Street,
Newport, says: “Sometimes
my back was in such bad shape
that I could hardly straighten
up after stooping. I had dizzy
spells and headaches and suffer
'd from rheumatic pains in my
limbs- Doan’s Kidney Pills re
lieved me promptly. During the
past year, I haven’t noticed any
backache or other symptoms of
kidney trouble.”

and it has always given satisfaction."
