AN ESTIMABLE LADY.
MRS. ELIZA ZREiNACH DIES AT
 THE AGE OF 71 YEARS,
Was One of Our Oldest and Hiqhly Esteemed Citizens-The
 Obsequuies.

Again the grim reaper has invaded our community and removed from our midst another of our oldest and most highly respected citizens, Mrs. Eliza Reinach, wife of the late A. Rejnacb Who was one of Jefferson county's time honofed land marks.
 Mrs. Reinach died between the hours cf ? and o'clock Satur- day afternoon, after an illness of sey- eral weeks. Her death was not 1n- expected, but it was felt none the less by her friends, who number all of her acqQalntances. At the time of her death she was surrounded by her three sons, Messrs. Jake l.. Reinach of Walnut Ridge; Nose Reinach, of this city and Roland Roinach. of Lit tie Rock; her only living relatives: they having been summoned to her bedside several day ago.
 The deceased was 71 years of age She has been well known in this county almost half century. She was a native of Germany and came to Pine Bluff over forty years ago. The de ceased was prominently connected With the Jewish Temple and the var ious societies made up of the mom- bers of that church since that time Mrs Relnach was genial and gener- ous in nature, social in disposition. al- ways having kind word and a pleas ant smile for those whom she would meet, and her loss is keenly felt by our people. She was loved and es- teemed by the entire community.

his home right to one in the interior, and exports his stock, the difference being made up by exchange between the two official certificates of export. The manufacturer who ceded his right receives from the manufacturer who acquired the right, the price per pound agreed upon between them, which is usually determined by the difference existing at the moment be- tween tn price obtainable for the sugar on the home market and the price obtainable by sale abroad. This is what is termed transfer The price of these transfers varies accord in to the fluctuations in the price of
 sugar in Russia and abroad. There fore the person who sells the trans fer (the right of issue into the home mafket charges several kopecks
 more than the difference mentioned above. This is done on account of the risk that is taken that suar prices abroad may fall, and also for the
 trouble and expense involved in ex-
 porting and transporting
 This explains why Russian export
 certificates are subject to barter and
 sale, and is evidently not due to any Government bounty. The whole ar- rangement is like trust of a com
 blnation of producers to put up prices
 at home, and selling for exports at reduced prices. It is wide stretch
 to call this Government bounty, but II we are to so construe it the United
 States is the larest bounty giver in the world.

The Coal City is tied up between

the ~roustabouts were doing this. when
81 steers became f~rig-tened at the

from the river front. The rousta-
bouts spent several hours hunting for
the cattle but no trace of them could
be found. Capt. Knox says he be-
lieves the cattle are running yet.

not more than one hundred thousand

not more than one hundred thousand
dollars, twenty-five dollars.
IF the authorized capital stock be
more than n hundred thousand dol
lars and not more than one million
dollars, twenty-five dollars. and an adj
ditional ten cents on each and every
n thousand dollars or fraction
thereof, in excess OF one hundred thou
sand dollars.
If the authorized capital stock be
more than one million dollars, one
hundred and fifteen dollars and an ad-
ditional twenty-five dollars on each
and every million dollars, or fraction
thereof, in excess of the first million
dollars"
Then follows a long provision for
the collection of the license tax, a
blank form of affidavit, provision for
the increasing Of capital, for the for
fixture of charter in the case of false
affidavit, etc, and provisions for non
resident corporations.
1t will be noted that the tax is laid
upon authorized capital and not
upon actual capital. That's where the
tax takes hold, and where the fees to
the officials come in. If a corporation
be formed with a modest paid-up cap
ital, but with the privilege contained
in its charter of increasing its stock
to say half a million, it must pay a tax
Of the full half million basis. Then,
if it wishes to increase its capital, say
from fifty thousand to one hundred
thousand dollars, it's more fees to the
officials. If it wishes to declare a
stock dividend, as a result of profitable
business. it is more fees, and if it
should desire to extend the limit of its
capital stock to say a million and a
half or two millions, it is not only
more tax, but more feIs. In other
words, the tax is shrewdly laid, not
upon the actual money in any given
business, but on the limits to which
such business may be extended or re-
duced under the charter, and as
a modest business grows with
in the original limit fixed, the
State gets no increased tax, but
the officials obtain increased fees
with every change. With about
a thousand new corporations charter
ed every year, and quite a number OF
thousands in existence, the POSSIBLE
tiles of a fat income for the Auditor
under this proposed law are charm
ingly apparent. It's a neat device for
the sudden acquisition of wealth by
officials already literally reveling in
emOluments.
There are other features in the mea-
sur Senator Davis introduced 'by re-
quest worthy Of attention, but the
above two sections must suffice for the
present. They amply illustrate the
character Of the legislation under dis
cussiOn at Charleston.
