INDISPUTABLE FIGURES SHOW
ADVANTAGES OF THE MUNIC
IPAL BOND AMENDMENT.
("Treater Arkansas Association.)
A: Kansas cities and towns, under
present arrangements, are forced to
pay high rates of interest for accom
odation. Under the terms of proposed
Amendment No. 14, "no bonds or oth
. er interest bearing evidences of in
debtedness, issued under the author
ity of this amendment, shall ever be
sold at less than par, and when is
sued by cities of the first class they
shall not bear greater rate of inter
est than five per cent per annum, and
when issued by cities of the second
| class and by incorporated towns of
1,000 or more population, shall not
bear a greater rate of interest than
six per cent per annum.”
It is a well known fact that many
cities and towns in Arkansas have
been forced to pay not five per cent,
or six per cent, but eight per cent per
annum, and more, for short time ac
comodations. The alternative has
been placed before the officials of
such cities and towns either to pay
such rates of interest, or to permit
much needed public improvements, of
a general character, to fail for lack of
assistance by the cities or towns.
Strange as it may appear, cities and
towns in other states, under laws sim
it_k ir +V10 n roc on t
nai uj " "t/ - *
amendment, are able to obtain mon
ey by the Issuance of long term bonds
at very low rates, namely, 4 per cent.,
4 1-2 per cent, 5 per cent or 6 per
cent, whereas, Arkansas cities and
towns now desiring money for two,
three or four years, are forced to pay
eight, per cent per annum, or more.
Suppose the aggregate indebtedness
of the Sta'e and towns of the State
of Arkansas was being carried at 4.
4 1-2, 5 or 6 per cent, instead of the
rates which cities ahd towns are now
forced to pay for accommodation. Fig
ure for yourself the saving there
would be to the people in the amount
of Interest per thousand dollars, by
figuring the difference in the rates,
and multiply that amount by the num
ber of thousands of dollars which the
people of your community now owe,
or have been forced to owe, during
the past ten years.
As the constitution is now no city
or town can issue interest bearing
evidences of indebtedness. Arkansas
cities and towns, by general consent.
In order to make public improve
ments, for years have made a prac
tice of Issuing warrants, properly
drawn, and approved in every way as
required by law. these warrants ma
turing from one to five or six years in
the future.
Under the present law these war
rants cannot bear interest, either
from date or after maturity. There
fore, such a warrant for one thou
sand dollars maturing in five years,
would be discounted by the bank at
a rate of Interest of 8 per cent per
annum or higher. No criticism of
the banker can properly be made, for
the reason that the warrant cannot
bear interest, and therefore is not
considered first-class bankable paper.
A municipality Issuing such a warrant
would receive In cash, under the law
as it is at present, only six hundred
dollars, or less, and that amount, and
not one thousand dollars, would ' be
the amount which would be left for
use by the city; whereas, if the mu
nicipality could issue an interest bear
ing certificate of indebtedness, bear
ing say 5 per cent Interest, the city
would receive the full amount of one
thousand dollars in cash, but would
not pay the interest of $50.00 each
year until after the city had used the
money for that year.
In short, the passage of proposed
Amendment No. 14 will enable Arkan
sas municipalities 10 ootam ine use
of money at about one-half the pres
ent rates of Interest, aa well as to
make unnecessary the payment of in
terest in advance, as is now done.
For example, under the law as it is
at present, an Arkansas city or town,
which issues a warrant for one thou
sand dollars, due in five years, would
receive at the most only $600.00 cash,
and would be forced to suffer Wie de
duction of the sum of $400.00 from the
face of the "warrant as interest for
five years charged for the use of the
$600.00. Four hundred dollars Inter
est for the use of six hundred dollars
for five years would equal, on the
same basis, the sum of $666.66 inter
est on $1,000.00 for five years.
On the other hand, when proposed
Amendment No. 14 has been passed, a
municipality, by the sale of a low in
terest bearing bond Bor that amount,
could realize $1,000.00 cash, and la
ter pay annually the sum of $50.00
for interest, or $250,00 interest in the
five years. The difference between
$666.66 and $250.00, or $416.66, repre
sents the amount per thousand dollars
which the present law places as a
burden on Arkansas cities and towns,
and this is one of the burdens which
proposed Amendment No. 14 will re
move.
The adoption of the Bond Issue
Amendment will materially aid the
development and advancement of
Arkansas, by making it possible for
the cities and towns to make need
ed public improvements. A vote for
this amendment is a vote for prog
ress and for a Better and Greater
Arkansas.—Newark Journal.

THE HIGH COST
OF CHILD LABOR
!d. Society and Industry All
Pay and Nobody Profits.
ay i-ewia W. Hine. Staff Photogra
pher, National Child Labor
Committee.
You frequently hear it said that
child labor is cheap labor. On the
contrary, it is the most expensive la
bor there is, because what industry
saves in wages by employing child
labor is far exceeded by the 103s to
industry due to the inefficiency, acci
dents and damaged machinery which
result from child labor. And in ad
dition to this cost to industry, there |
a?e the costs to the child in the shape
of stunted body and mind, and the I
terrible cost to society of the illiter
ate, unintelligent citizens which child
labor produces.
Let us examine a few of these
“costs." Industry pays lower wages
for children, but it gets similar re
turns for its outlay; first, the child
requires more supervision than the
adult; second the child does less work
than the adult, and does it poorly, so
that the product is of a lower grade;
third, the cost of accidents and dam
aged machinery is much greater when
children do the work; fourth (the
highest cost of all), child labor pro
duces less efficient workers. The ob
ject of employing children is not to
train them, but to get high profits
from their work. But in view of the
above costs, high profits cannot possi
bly result. How much more sensible
—t-noto Dy National fund Liaeor committee.
A Child Labor Adult.
is the attitude of the manufacturers
who maintain that high standards
pay! All through the country we And
growing conviction among compiuni
ties and manufacturers as well that
child-made goods are not worth the
price.
And then there are the costs to the
children themselves. They start off
happily enough, for the idea of “going
to work" is always an exciting one to
a child. But before they are fairly
well started they have reached: the
end—the Human Junk Pile. Their
lives may be summed up thus: En
tered industry at six, worked for tee
years, junked at 16 years. Or a lad
makes a misstep, falls Into a machine,
loses hie fingers and “ain't good for
work no more." Then his family may
give him an “eddicatlon so he won’t
have to work,” or he may be simply
added to the pile of human Junk. And
we never stop to count the cost to a
girl of long hours over a machine that
Is always calling for more, making
her wish she could be a machine too,
or the cost to the boy who “hain’t
grown none since he was six.” Of
course, we do find children who stand
the wear and tear of Industry better,
but we are considering the average
child.
Thosid nrn a f«w of the nbvsicai
costs. What about the mental? The
widely-heralded welfare work of the
Southern cotton mill too frequently
turns out to be good advertising only.
A school run by an Alabama cotton
mill is a fair sample. Tucked away
upstairs over the company’s store, les
sons begin there at 6 in the morning,
and for six hours the children are
cooped up at studies that have no in
terest for them. Why should they?
The only reason for the existence of
the school Is the fact that the em
ployer must comply with the state
law which requires eight weeks of
schooling (quality not specified). In
the afternoon these children work
half a day in the mill The product
of such schools as these is costly il
literacy, dead spirits, and mechanical
minds.
Among the moral costs we have the
messenger boys who must necessarily
become acquainted with the life of
the underworld. He must carry his
messages wherever he is sent, and the
senders are not particular. He car
ries notes from the prostitute in jail
to the man In the red light district.
He knows the whole correspondence,
and ere long his familiarity with vice
leads to crime. It is not long before
he is found in the Juvenile court.
In view of these costs to the child
to society, to industry, we mav well
ask how we can afford child labor.
WE CANNOT—IT COSTS TOO
MUCH.
