Act Has Proven a Joke.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, March 13.—Some
radical changes in the corrupt
practices act will be proposed to
(he next legislature, for it is ad
mitted that the one now in use
L httle more than a joke- Some
l°g Nation must be enacted
wh rh will really limit the ex
penditure of a candidate, and
what his friends may spend in
his behalf. There is now no
limit upon the expenditure by
outsiders in the interest of a
candidate, so money is now being
spent in great quantities by in
direct means, which brings the
same results.
Ton after ton of literature in
the interest of candidates, is
now being mailed from Little
Rock, and this literature runs as
much to the ton in gold, as the
richest metal ever mined in Cali
fornia or Alaska.
One candidate who has sent
broadcast thousand upon thous
and circulars of circulars, made
a state race twenty years ago, in
which he had printed only 2.000
circulars, and less than 1,000 of
these were distributed. The
present style of campaigning
was introduced by Gov. George
W. Donaghey in his first
race for governor, and the
only way to retire it from vogue,
Is to legislate against it. A
number of those who expect to
be candidates in the future will
take the matter up before the
coming legislature in an effort to
reach a solution.
Want Women Censors
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, March 14.— The
City Federation of Women’s
Clubs are asking the authori
ties for the appointment of at
least two women on the board of
censors for the purpose of cen
soring all the pictures that are
shown in the city. There are
four moving picture houses in
Little Rock, and Mayor Taylor
has pointed out that they would
have an endless task in passing
upon about seventy-five reels per
week.
The women insist that there
are a great many pictures too
immoral for children to see, and
that pictures should possess an
educational value rather than to
be of a nature that will appeal to
the baser passions. It is prob
able that a conference will be
held in the near future between
the ladies interested in the pro
posed reforms, and the city offi
cials and the proprietors of the
moving picture houses ,to dis
cuss this and other features of
the business.
Organizing For Clark.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, March 16.—Bus
iness men of all kinds are organ
izing in Pulaski county; to roll up
the majority for Senator Clarke
at the polls next week. At a
recent caucus there were the
most prominent attorneys of
Little Rock, ministers, bankers,
and mechanics in great numbers.
Among the numfber were mem
bers of the supreme court. Judge
Kirby is a member of this body,
but the majority is supporting
Senator Clarke, and doing it o
penly- They have volunteered
for work at the polls if the cam
paign managers deem it neces
sary. They have been told that
the race was too one sided to de
mand their personal efforts at
the polls.

I
The Close Of the Campaign.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, March 16—How
to doge Senator Clarke and
speak in Little Rock on the night
before the primaries, is a ques
tion which is now the chief
source of worry to the campaign
managers for Judge Kirby. If
they secure a hall the voters
of Pulaski county will demand
that Senator Clarke be given a
division of time. If the weather
is suitable for outdoor speaking
there is no law which will pro
hibit Senator Clarke appearing
at the same time with Judge
Kirby, and the people here want
to hear him speak jointly with
his opponent.
Judge Kirby does not want to
get in the same county with
Senator Clarke. Pinned down
to the same plaform with Sena
tor Clarke, he would be depriv
ed of his entire speech, for no
man could appear before his op
ponent with such a conglommer
ation of libel, slander, and base
less assertions as Judge Kirby
has liberated on the stump in
practically every county in the |
state.
judge ivnuy nas nevei uu- ;
vanced any reason why the vot
ers of Arkansas should elevate
him to the United States Sen
ate. so far as personal qualifi
cations and party allegiance is
concerned. He has made his en
tire campaign upon vindication,
and an effort to arouse.personal
and locality prejudice. In some
places he has succeeded in bol
stering his cause with the aid
of disappointed candidates for
government appointments, but ;
the voters know why they are
active, and allow for their inter
est.
Senator Clarke would go a
long way to meet Judge Kirby,
and give a bond of any amount
that he would not attack him
personally, nor would he utter
'anything but what he could!
prove before any court to be the
truth.

: Special to Independent,
i Little Rock, March 16.—Reu
ben G. Dye, commissioner of
State Lands and Highways, has
sent to Paragould the charter
[for the Paragould and Hopkins
Bridge highway, which will be
the first district created under
the Smith state highway bill.
The district is known as High
way District No. 1. C. W. High
fill of Paragould one of the state
highway commissioners, was in
Little Rock Sunday, and will
have personal charge of the cir
culation of the petition among
the property owners in the dis
trict. As soon as a majority of
the property owners have sign
ed, the matter will be taken into
termine the legality of the
court, in a friendly suit, to de
Smith act
There has been considerable
discussion about the validity of
the Smith bill, it being contend
ed in many sections that high
way districts cannot be formed
under it. The test in District
No. 1, which will go to the su
preme court, will settle this, and
if the legality of the bill is sus
tained, many other districts in
the state will be formed.

a ■■ WHY
ad
up We have often wondered why men would lo,
ansas and pay such a high price for land as -o
sn now doing, when the lands in our own country .
ad cheap
In the last ten years land in Arkansas has advaii
104 per cent. What do you expect in the next tt
“ years? We are just now taking the first real step in act
ad vancement.
aHi We have some tracts of land that will pay the pur- Y
tjcj chaser even more than ten per cent on the pur- yp
up chase price; anyway, each year it pays you 10 per cent on
your money and you get the increase in valuation. Can sd
ad you beat this for an investment? ^

Is Your Seed Tested?
The long, wet fall has made the seed situation serious, j ,
Tests of both corn and cotton show that most seed is [
only testing from 10 to 60 per cent- ?!
I .PLANTING POOR SEED WASTES MONEY.
Wastes the money it is worth as feed; wastes valua- \\
