ARKANSAS
a y STATE NEWS
of VITAL INTEREST TO ALL
VOTERS.
eupt. Hinen1on Clears Up a Point,
That None SHOULD Fail to Note,
and Cast a Ballot Accordingly.

The following is the reading of the
Constitution with reference to taxa
ton for school purposes, and also the
reading as it will be If the proposed
Amendment No. is adopted 1t is
being published throughout the state
over the signature of Hon. John H. Hine-
mon. who is lending SO ably and faith
fully his labors and abilities to the
success of the amendment at the polls
in September, and is in reply to a
question on the subject, placing the
whole matter in it's true light:
Section 3 of Article IA of the Consti-
tuition of the State of Arkansas as it
now stands reads as follows: "The
general assembly shall provide, by
general laws, for the support of COM
mon schools by taxes, which shall
never exceed in any one year two mills
on the dollar on the taxable property
of the state; and by an annual per
capita tax of one dollar, to be assess
ed on every male inhabitant of this
state over the age of tWenty-One
years. Provided, The general assem-
bly, may by general law, authorize
school districts to levy, by a vote of
the qualified electors of such districts,
q tax not to exceed five mills on the
dollar In any one year for school pur-
poses.''
Should the vote in the September
election be favorable to the adoption
Of amendment No. s, the section above
1.-THE general assembly shall provide
by general laws for the support of
common school taxes, which shall new
er exceed in any one year three mills
on the dollar on the taxable property
of the state, and by an annual per
capita tax of one dollar, to be assess
ed on every male inhabitant of this
state over the age of twenty-one years.
Provided, the general assembly may by
general law authorize school districts
to levy by vote of the qualified
electors of such districts a tax not to
exceed seven mills on the dollar i'm
any one year for school purposes. Pro
vided, further, that no such tax shall
be appropriated to any other purpose
nor to any other district than that for
which it was levied"
You will note from this that while
the general assembly is authorized to
enact laws increasing the state levy
from two to three mills and authoriz-
ing such school districts as may desire
TO do so to vote local tax not exceed
ing seven mills, the per capita tax re-
mains the same, and is not increased
to two dollars, as you seem to think

be lower in Jersey City this year. In
Newark the tax bills will he much higher.
Newark's ratables this year are about
2S4000,000, and Jersey City, with all
the vast amount of second class railroad
property doubled in valuation, shows on
ly S16S,O00,000 of ratables, or Sl1s,000
600 less than Newark.
1t is apparent that while other muni-
cipalities have complied with the law in
respect to full valuations Jersey City has
not, except in the case of second class
railroad property.
Newark taxpayers look with envy
across the Passaic and Haekensack to
the Jersey City taxpayers, who have been
so well served by their adroit municipal
officers at the expense of other munich
palities. They have feeling that they
have been favored in the game ef muni-
cpal aggrandizement.
Equal taxation as expounded by Jer-
sey City official missioaaries has given
the turkey to Jersey City and the buz-
zard to Newark
The increase in the budgets of the two
cities this year is about the same, so the
reduced tax bills in Jersey City cannot
be attributed to any economy in expen-
diture. In fact the budget there provides
for an increase of salaried officers Jer-
sey City is always developing new tribes
of tax eaters. On the other hand, the
Newark budget was carefully pruned
down. And what mere does Jersey City
want?

Manhattan Theatre

Blanche Walsh has settled down for a
run in The Kreutzer Sonata" at the
Manhattan Theatre, where Jacob Cor
din's tremendous domestic drama has
gripped the theatre-goers of New York
with its powerful tragic scenes, its de-
lightful comedy and its rapidly moving
and interesting story. It is real life
story that holds attention from the rise
of the curtain. In every line there is an
element of human nature that compels
silent attention until the last act climax
calls out whirlwind of applause The
acting of Miss Walsh, as the devoted and
suffering Hattie, has been instantly
recognized as the acme of art, and she
has once again demonstrated that she is
the foremost tragic actress of today The
houses are packed nightly, and during
the past week more than 600 were turn
