The Highway tfudit The refusal of tlic slate audit commission, headed by Chancel" lor J. M. Futrell, Lo spend tlic allotted it by the legislature is haps unique in the annals of slate and bureaus. Never before, i-o Jfcr as know, lias any public official commission been unable or unwilling iind sumetliiiitf to do with the ptib- llic's money.

Tbat this particular commission has only declined to take advantage of an opportunity to spend 100,000, but -in refusing has in cfl'ccl dclicd a maii- of the state lends added credibility to' the commission's as-l sertion that the act creating it and pio- yiding the money. is inadequate to a thoroughgoing' accomplishment of its purpose. Now it is simply a mutter of common sense that any organization, public or private, entrusted with the spending 'of as muctrmoney as. the highway department has handled'in recent years, ought; jd it's affairs thoroughly. The audit commission 'is for it's refusal' to waste pub- liq money oii an inconclusive audit, but it will be remiss if it fails to bring in a report for the consideration of the next legislative session stating in detail tlie changes in the law necessary to a complete investigation of the highway department's honesty and efficiency in expending the millions which tho tax- payers of Arkansas have furnished it.

Chairman Blackwoori has frequently expressed his desire for a real audit of his department. In justice to him, as a prospective candidate for the governorship, and to the public such an audit should be made at the, earliest possible date, and with that in view action by the special legislative session which will be held in the late summer is desirable. invested capital and the livelihood of many families placed in a precarious position, but the state highway department, We venture to say, suffering an actual loss in revenue by virtue of the "inability of gasoline dealers here to meet nearby competition. It is expected that a special of the state legislature -will be called within a few months to deal with the school problem. Governor Farnell will earn the gratitude of this and other communities near the Missouri border if he will include in his call for that session a request for adjustment of a situation that is driving great volume of Arkansas business out of Arkansas.

Not only is a business in- volving many thousands of dollars in OXJT OUR WAY Anti-Religious Outbreaks Hcccnl in Spain, of which attacks upon religious institutions have been a conspicuous feature, may be attributable, as the republican government insists, to communist and monarchist efforts to discredit a regime that suitii neither political extreme. The disturbances have attained rmch proportions, however, as to indicate that agitators have found fertile soil for their seeds of unrest. It is a fair observation that wherever churches have become the object of popular hatred and ilislru-l Ihcy have themselves to thank. When religious permit themselves to become identified in the public mind with government they inevitably share the resentment, which the misdeeds of government produce.

Anti-religious outbursts in Spain, as in Mexico and Kui-siii, may be coached and directed by communists or others to religion as but they find their mass support in men and who have suffered exploitation and oppression at the hands of pietis- tic used subservient or power and wciith seeking religious organizations as their instruments. A church that seeks to make itself, or permits itself lo be made an arm of the government can expect no more love or respect than the government with which iU is allied.
