The New York braLch OF the Siegel &
Cooper company has adopted a pension
scheme for the benefit OF employees.
The scheme Is substantially that all
employees OF ten years minimum faith
full service will be laid OF at half pay
when n certain age limit is reached,
which Is So years for men and i5 for
women. This pension will continue
during the life OF the employe. Per-
manent disability or incapacity for du-
ty before the specified age is reached
will also be recompensed in the same
manner. President Henry Siegel has
secured the pension endowment fund
by taking out life insurance policy
for 100000 on his life. II this new
and striking innovation in the rela-
tions between employer and employe
is appreciated by the employees in New
York the system will shortly be ex-
tended to the Chicago house.

TO EXEMPT CAPITAL.

The Fort Smith Commercial
League has addressed the follow
ing resolutions to the Arkansas
legislature. 1t asks that all cap
ital be exempted from aXaticn
for a period Of seven years that
may come in the state. The
proposition will interest our
readers.
To the Senate and House of
Representatives of the Gen.
eral Assembly of the State
of Arkansas-G 'e ting;
q whereas, the States Of North
Carolina, South Carolina, Geor-
gia, Alabama and Louisiana
have all opened their commercial
gates and invite capital for in
yestmcat in manufacturing en-
te?pri5es and in developing their
r, so Ircas, and accompany their
invitation not only with infor-
nation about the magnitude OF
their resources, fruitfulnes Of
soil, hei2 magnificent climate,
etc., buU those who come are
shown the greatest spirit Of lib
erality.
In some Of these states tn;
taxes upon the investment is
made mere nominal payment,
while in others it is wholly ex-
empt from taxation for stated
number of years. That this
spirit of liberality and progress
iveness has proved a great bles-
sing and has been and is tie
means of giving employment to
thousands Of people and brings
millions of dollars to Those states
goes without saying, ~.
An illustration of what this
policy has done maybe seel by
the following table of cotton
grown and cotton manufactured
in the States named for the
seasons Of 1897 and 1898.
Alabama crop-1, ,112,6 ,681 bales,
manufactured, 97,4O4 bales.
Georgia CROP, ,35O,781 bales,
manufactured, 585.2 bales.
Louisiana crop-788, 1926, bales,
manufactured, 26,065 bales.
North Carolina crop-646, ,726
bales, manufactured, 334,879
bales.
South Carolina CROP, ,O30,O85
bales, manufactured, 39S,456
bales.
Arkansas crop-942,261 bales,
manufactured, 1,645 bales.
the other cotton producing
states use the following number
of bales each for manufacturing
purposes;
Kentucky-26,516.
Missouri-4,0 ,023.
Texas-14, 312.
Missi5sippi-20,503.
Tennessee-35, ,773.
Vicginia-42,9 $3.50.
Thus it will be seen that, while
Arkansas is one of the largest
producers of cotton, it is the
smallest in the manufacture oil
the great staple. When we con-
slider that bale of cotton, when
manufactured into goods is
worth at least five times its
original cost and that labor is
the largest per cent Of the cost
in the manufacture, we begin to
realize the advantages of manu-
featuring our own raw material.
We ask, is it not time that our
State work for itself in a similar
spirit to the investment Of capit-
alp We have greater nat lraI
resources than any other state,
but they are largely undeveloped
and hence of no nse to us. We
can boast Of, Mt least, equal pro-
ductions Of raw material with any
