Act Number 3, Publicity Meas
ure to Be Enforced.
One important section of the
law is that which provides for
heavy fine for violations.
“The Public has A Right to
Know.”
This is the slogan of the
friends of Act No. 3.
Act No. 3 is popularly known
as the Publicity Act. It will
L expose public finances and pub
lic business to the light. It is
a sensible, straightforward
and business-like measure that
will save Arkansas people mon
ey
The Independent will publish
installments, short and to the
point, an explanation and ex
position of the publicity law,
4 which will be voted upon by the
people in the September elec
tion.
The following explanation of
the act is authoritative. It is
from the pen of one of the
leading lawyers of Arkansas:
Section. 1. Section 1 provides
that all amendments to the
constitution and measures sub
mitted to the people at any regu
lar general election shall be
-•published for twenty days. The
law now requires the publica
f tion to be made for thirty days.
1 It is thought by those who have
given the matter careful atten
tion that twenty days would be
^sufficient and this change will
considerably reduce the ex
pense of the publication.
This section has nothing to do
with the matter of the publi
cation of ordinances of municip
al corporations that are referred
to the people. Their publication
is especially provided for by an
act passed in 1913.
(To Be Continued.)
Meeting Postponed,
At a meeting of the official
board last night, it was decided
to postpone the meeting that
was to begin next Sunday at
♦ he Methodist church. The pas
tor expects to fill the pulpit at
both hours next Sunday. An- i
nouncement will he made in
due time regarding the meet
ing.

CAMPAIGN FOR
BOND AMENDMENT
To Be Pushed By The “Greater j
Arkansas Association” Just
Organized.
Special to Independent. j
Little Rock, June 26. —Under |
the direction Of the Executive
Committee named at the con
vention of Mayors, City Officials
and representatives of commer
cial organizations Wednesday,
the “Greater Arkansas Associa
tion” is preparing to conduct a
vigorous campaign for the next
three months for the adoption
of the Amendment No 14, the
Bond Amendment. It was the o
pinion of all present that the
amendment will prevail at the
September election, and predic
tions were made that when the
existing handicaps are remov
ed public improvements in the
cities and towns will be given an
impetus that has never before
existed.
The “Greater Arkansas Asso
ciation” is to be made a perman
ent organization, for the pur
pose of using it as an agency for
the boosting of other proposi
tions for the upbuilding and ad
vancement of the state’s inter
ests. The officers of the Asso
ciation are:
Chairman, Mayor Charles E.
Taylor of Little Rock.
Secretary, Harry P- Lyman, of
Fort Smith.
Assistant Secretaries—Dick
inson, Brugman, A. D- Murlin,
Clio Harper, W. T. Sitlington,
John T. Ginnochio, R. D. Fen
ton, Jr., John H. Tucker, Jr.
Executive Committee—Mayor
Charles E. Taylor, Little Rock,
Mayor Simon Bloom of Pine
Bluff, Mayor H. C. Read of Fort
Smith, Mayor J. P. Kline of Tex
arkana, Mayor J. P. Faucette of
Argenta, George R. Belding of
the Hot Springs Business Men’s
League and John H- Tucker, Jr.,
secretary of the Arkansas Young
Man’s Chamber of Commerce.
The ways and means of raising
the necessary funds of $5,000 to
carry on the campaign was left
to the Executive Committee
Those who attended the conven
tion expressed their unqualified
approval of the proposition, and
pledged their substantial sup
port.
Among those who were pres
ent at the convention were
Hon. John Hardage of Arkadel
phia, Speaker of the last House,
who pledged his support of the
measure, and that he and the
people of Clark county would
work for its adoption. He said
that he had opposed the propos
ed amendment in 1912, because
in his opinion it did not contain
the proper safeguards and re
strictions, but these objections
had been wholly overcome by
the present amendment.
