 The fact of the business is. the taxes ARE DUE until the courts de eide otherwise; and as the courts have never passed upon the mat ter, the taxes are still due, or at least the S250, ,O00 of them which were illegally deducted, at the in- stance of Senator Clorke.
 The Gazette's 'simpIified y explanation, in which 1t uses The Journal as an example, proves nothing in favor of the Gahatte's position, nor explains nothing. If The Journal had been paying tax es on q valuation of $, GOO and the assessor should raise that assess ment to $l0,000. The Journal plant would be sold by. the sheriff for the amount of taxes due on the SI0, 900 assessment, unless we ap pealed to the county court and got a decision declaring the increase unreasonable and unjust. If the editor of the Gazette doubts the truthfulness of this assertion, let him try it, and he will find that while theories may be good things for editorial exploitation, they are not very substantial things io stand off the tax collector with.
 But The Journal has an idea that the Gazette is not so much interested in properly and rightly explaining this matter to the people as 1t is in sheilding Senator Clarke from the adverse criticism that is being justly heaped upon him by the people of the entire state for the part he played in the matter and the hoggishness he displayed in=working against the interests of the very people who have elevated him to the most lucrative and honorable position within their oft.

THE GAZETTE AND THE
 TAX SETTLEMENT.

In commenting upon an editorial in The Journal in regard 10 Sena- tor Clarke s statement of the rail- road tax compromise, the Arkan- sas Gazette says The Journal was in error in saying that the rail roads were due the state S5S0, ,000 in taxes.
 The Gazette says, The State Board of Railroad Assessors does not necessarily make S5S0, GOO ad- ditional taxes become due from the railroads simply by passing a resolution raising their assessments high enough. y
 To su bstantiate this statement the Gazette further says: If The Newark Journal had been paving taxes on d valuation of S5, GOO put on is real estate and building and the Independence county assessor should raise that assessment to $10,000, The Newark Journal would hardly look upon the taxes on that additional S5. 00o as due the state. IL would probably ap- peal to the County Court and ney- CT admit that any additional taxe, were due uutil the courts had said so. '
 Now, as the Gazette seems SC deeply interested in putting this matter right before the people, will 1t please answer this simple lit tie question: When the state board of railroad assessors raise the assessment on any piece of railroad property, if the taxes are not due, until after the railroad ap peals to the courts and gets a de. cision in its favor. then what do the laws of the State of Arkansas mean when they give the board of railroad assessors authority to as sess railroad property? And, if said board has the authority to as sess railroad property, why does 1t not have authority to increase the assessment, when, in it's iudg- ment, the increase is just and
