“The Constitution of South Carolina
5 adopted in 1895 provides that munici
i palities may issue bonds not to exceed
j 8 per centum of the assessed value of
i the taxable property in the munici
pality.
i\'isslssippl has no iron clad prohi
bit] ' n against the issuance of bonds.
Its Constitution of 1899 merely pro
vide-" that general laws shall "be en
acted to prevent the abuse by munici
pal corporations of their powers of
csc-.r-cc?mt. tnyqtion, borrowing money
adopted
■ in 1902 provides that municipalities
may issue bonds not exceeding 18 per
cent of the assessed valuation of the
real estate in such muicipality.
“The Constitution of Oklahoma
adopted in 1907 places no limitation
upon the amount of bonds that may Is
sue when the proposition is approved
by a majority, but I am glad that pro
posed Amendment No. 14 has such
limitations and restrictions that it
will not be possible to contract debts
that, will be a burden to the taxpay
ers. As much as wo love Arkansas
we cannot seriously contend that our
cities and towns have developed more
under our Constitutional restrictions
than (hose of our neighboring states
without such restrictions.
“Several of the states mentioned
only permit the owners of the property
to vote upon the proposition of issuing
bonds but I am glad that proposed
Amendment No. 14 authorizes all qua
lified electors to vote upon the ques
tion because assessments will be levied
for a long period of years and some
who are property owners today may i
not be later on, and some who are not
property owners now may be large j
property owners in fifteen or twenty ;
years from today. Some go up and
some go down. This is history. There
fore it is just and right that upon !
the question of creating a debt extend- j
ing over a period of 35 years to cover
the cost of permanent improvements
that every qualified elector should
have a voice in the matter.
“It is my opinion that a large ma
jority of the people of the cities and
towns of Arkansas would like to have
the right to borrow' money for the
purposes mentioned in the amend
ment if a majority voting upon the
question should approve of it and since
the adoption of the amendment would
not entail any expense or increase the
taxes of those residing outside of the
cities and towns such electors cannot
possibly have any reason for refusing
to grant the people residing in the j
cities/'and towns the right to tax
theselves if they wish to do so.
“Therefore, the amendment no doubt
will receive the solid suport of the
people living in the country.”

Fordyce Calls on Voters to Support
the Bond Measure.
—
Fordyce.—City and county officials j
and also business men here are tak
ing an interest in securing the pass
age of Amendment No. 14 at the elec
tion in September. Mayor Cabler has
drafted the following statement,
which was signed by twelve of the
officials and business men:
“To the Taxpayers of Dallas County:
“We, the undersigned citizens and
taxpayers do hereby express our ap
proval of Amendment No. 14, which
gives cities and towns of more than
1,000 population the privilege of issu
ing bonds, and we believe that if you
will support this amendment in the
coming election you will, la & great
measure, aid the progress of our coun
try and endorse a greater Arkansas.”
This statement has been printed
and a copy sent to every voter in this
county with the literature concerning
the amendment sent out under the di
rection of Mayor Charles E. Taylor of
Little Rock. No opposition has yet
been heard, and it is believed this
oounty will vote for the amendment
by a large majority.
The consent of the majority 0f the
qualified electors voting on the prop
oscition is required before bonds can
legally be issued. No honds can he
issued if (he people of any given mu
nicipality do not want them issued.
It would be impossible for politicians
to take snap judgment on the people
with such a stringent law as that in
force. Support the amendment, and
urge your friends to do so.—Fayette
ville Daily.
The principal gainers under the
Bond Issue amendment will be the
small towns of the state, which can
not now under the existing laws raise
the funds to build water and sewer
systems. The property valuation
there Is not now sufficient to build
any equip water plants, but under
the amendment they can issue suffi
cient bonds, covering a term of years.
_Stuttgart Arkansawyer.
hundreds of other ways they have aid
ed in preparing a tremendous major
ity for the measure at the polls next
month. The young men see that the
proper way to build cities is to leave
something for them to shoulder in
coming years. Their willingness to
do this is more than demonstrated by
their work for the amendment.
Amendment No. 14 will simply un
tie the hands of progressive communi
ties that desire to make improve
ments it is impossible to make under
present conditions.
I CHILD LABOR IS
ENEMY Of EDUCATION
| _
, Department o' Education Head Con
i' derrms Child Labor as Economic
Waste.
_'
Educational authorities are giving
enthusiastic support to the proposed
child labor law. They feel that the
educational features of the bill will
be of distinct advantage, because chil
dren will be required to attend school
at least four years and be able to read
and write before they can go to work.
Arkansas at present has a high per
cent of illiteracy as have all the other
Southern stai i, and men who are in
terested in the educational problem
are anxious to se-e it decreased.
Mr. George B. Cook, superintendent
of the Department of Education, is
much interested in the campaign for
the new law because of the possibili
ties which he sees of keeping the chil
dren in school longer.
“The duty of the state to train each
child for citizenship is very generally
recognized as the first and most im
portant obligation,” says Mr. Cook.
“The proposition that the stability of
the government, its economic impor
tance, and its social and moral stand
ing depend upon the training'of the
youth, is not debatable.
“This training should include the
physical and ethical as well as the
intellectual development of the future
citizen, to the end that, in so far as
possible, each Individual may be a
source of economic benefit, rather
than a burden to the community.
“The most effectual plan developed

thus far by the states and nations of
the world for this training is the pub
lic school.
Fourth Grade the Minimum.
The educational requirement of the
proposed law is not high compared
with other States—in fact it is the
minimum. Most States require five
grades and tome require six, seven,
or eight. Kentucky, which already
has a smaller per cent of illiterarcy
than Arkansas recently increased her
educational requirement to five grades.
RELIEVING POVERTY.
Shall the Child of the State Take the
Burden.
(Excerpt from Compulsory Education,
United States Bureau of Education
Bulletin 573.)
An argument for the relief of pocf
parents by the State or by private
charity is that the benefit arising from
the labor of a child is short-lived, as
his earning capacity is small; and if
ha ia q 1 lna-pH to wnrlr Hiirinp1 hie im
mature years, his earning capacity
will never be great, for he will always
be an unskilled laborer; he may even
become a burden upon society, since
it is not likely that he will ever earn
much more than a child. If, on the
other hand, relief is afforded, and the
child is allowed to attend school and
complete the elementary course of
study, his earning capacity and his
ability to advance are increased, thus
taking him out of a class verging on
pauperism.
Little Rock, Ark., July 31, 1914.
Mr. L. H. Moore; Secretary Arkansas
State Federation of Labor, Little
Rock Ark.:
Dear Sir—I am in receipt of your
letter in which you ask me to give my
opinion of the child labor law which
was initiated by the labor organiza
tions, Farmers’ Union and Women’s
Clubs of the State, and in reply will
say that I have read this law over
very carefully and believe it to be an
exceptionally meritorious measure
Several previous efforts have been
made to induce the legislature to pass
a law of this character and while child
labor law is now in the statute books
it is so poorly drafted that it is im
possible to secure good results from
it. If the proposed law, which is to be
voted upon in the September election,
is approved by the people, it is my
opinion that it will prove very bene
ficial in preventing the employment of
children in the various industries of
the State, when they should be at
school.
Trusting that the citizens of Ar
kansas generally will support this
measure and with kindest regards, I
am,
Yours very truly,
J. C. CLARY,
Commissioner of Labor.
