Facts To Consider When You Vote ||
1. The proposed system of roads will cost $675,000 jjj
and 193 miles of macadam road are to be constructed un
der contract to the best bidder according to specifications
and supervision of state engineers. ||
2. The system of proposed roads as outlined by the ||
state engineer intersect every township of the twelve X
townships in the district, leaving no part of the county ©
over three miles from an improved road.
13. The system is designed to carry the traffic of each 8
section into its natural market and railroad point, but so 8
planned as to connect the whole county. 8
4. The final plans will be determined by the commis- 8
sioners consisting of one landowner from each township 8
I,f named by the respective townships and this commission 8
\ will sell the bonds, award contracts and direct the execu- 8
\ tion of same. o
i 5. On a $7,000,000 valuation for the county, a five 8
| mill tax will pay 5 per cent interest on $675,000 in bonds §
i snd the increased valuations of land will not only retire 8
i the debt in twenty years, but reduce the rate of taxation 8
' within a few* years. ©
g 6. The three mill tax now paid for roads, figuring the «
increase in valuations for the next twenty years the same §
I as for* the last twenty, will spend more than $675,000 on
the roads of this county and build you no roads- j
7. This 3 mill road tax now levied upon all property, 5
both real and personal would be done away with and for a !jj
real system of roads, you will pay little more than you are I
now wasting.
8. The tax would fall upon real property only and the 5 ;
rate would be determined by the benefits derived; that is 1
the nearness of the land to an improyed road. 'g
9. The railroads of the county ymuld bear about one- j j
third of the taxes and the cities and towns would also 1
I share iij the tax, lessening the burden upon the land own- ©
er and placing it upon these two classes of property, the 8
railroads and cities which share in the benefits, 8
10. The vote upon this improvement district for a g
system of roads is advisory and instructs your representa- g
tive in the next legislature to support and secure the pas- g
sage of an act creating this special road, improvement dis- g
trict, to be representative of the whole district and with g
every proper safeguard thrown about it to insure an eco- g
nomical administration of its affairs and the construction g
of a permanent system of roads for the convenience and g
betterment of every township in the district. g

Dr. Bradford Talks On Health.
Dr. T. B. Bradford of the
Rockefeller Sanitary Commission
read a paper before the public
school children and faculty Wed
nesday morning,.
His subject was, “Public1
Health”, and in this he showed
that the health of a community
is the combined health of the in
dividuals. The health of a com
munity is the strongest adver
tisement a state or section of
the state, can have. Every case
of tuberculosis and typhoid fev
er is a menace to each individual,
and as public spirited men and j
women of today we must with a
united effort stamp out these
tw'O dreaded diseases.
Dr- Bradford was glad the ,
state board of health had taken
..r. q/vHvo f»nm'nfliefn acrainst
the public drinking cup, the pub
lic towel, regulating barber
shops, soda fountains, dairies, all
of which if not run on a sanitary
basis, are a menace to public
health
Dr. Bradford was very loud
in his praise of the different
women’s clubs over the state,
that were doing much for public
health by their civic improve
ment clubs, and the eradication
of all insects such as flies and
mosquitoes that are such carri
ers of typhoid and malarial
germs.
a IM u. '■
He advocated the organization
of what he termed “Betterment
Clubs” among the faculty and
school children that would have
for their motto, “A Clean Town
And The Better Health of The

Judsonia Merchant a “Hugger” !
Little Rock, March 18.—G. Q.
Seawell, a merchant of Judsonia,
attempted publicly at Markham
and Main streets at 10:30 o’clock
last night to hug a young wo
man. He attempted to kiss her,
but she struggled free of his
grasp, with the aid of her escort
and by that time Mr. Seawell
was in the strong arms of the
law. He was arrested by Pa
trolmen Smithers and Long, and
will be tried in Police Court this
morning.
A PREVIOUS ESCAPADE.
iwo weeks ago Mr. beaweli
came to Little Rock, got lost, got
sleepy, got in the wrong bed, in
the wrong room and house, and
for his miscalculations got in
jail. He wandered all over town
in an effort to locate his son’s
room and when he came across a
house that looked like the one
where his son stayed, he went
right up the front steps, into the
hallway of Mrs. Waring’s resi
dence on Rock street and piled
into her son’s bed, and refused to
be convinced that he was in the
wrong place until roughly shak
en by the police, who took him to
headquarters, where he was later
fined $10 for being drunk.

strenuous opposition by the pres
