REMOVE TAXES FROM POVERTY

The subject has been mention- cd at this session of the Legisla- ture, has even gotten SO far as the introduction of a bill to as- sess property for taxation at its full value. and exempt $200 worth of household goods, and i personal property.
 It is a good law and ought to pass, althought 1t may fail at this time.
 1t will eventually be enacted in Arkansas as 1t has been Ill sever al other States.-Arkansas Dem ocrat.
 As 1t is already the law to as sess property at it's full value, we fail to perceive the necessity for another law to that effect A part of the oath. now required of the property owner IS that, T have estimated and put down the value of such property, not what 1t might sell for a a forced sale. but what would be it's fair market value, so help ne God. . And, the Assessor Is. also, re quired to make oath that he will assess all property, required to be assessed "at it's actual cash value
 And since the Constitution pro- vides that certain specific proper tv be exempt from taxation. and that to exempt other property than named by the constitution shall be void, we fail to see where in law passed by the legislature exempting $200 worth ofproper- tv would be worth "shuekS, :" hence we cannot agree that for the Legislature to kill tine in this way would be good for any body or anything

 Yes, what they are doing now would have been deemed popu- lism then, and is even populism now.

THE FAIR AT JAMESTOWN.

THE FAIR AT JAMESTOWN.
 If the Jamestown Exposition is not fully ready to-day when the tnrasties begin to swing, 1t will be like every other great fair on the opening day.
 The Worlds Fair in St Louis the greatest of them all. was not al- together finished when the ticket takers began to pass in the visit ors. It never was finished. Pres ident Francis, from the fullness of experience, spoke truth when he said that no great fair everi is finish ed.
 But by the time the warm days of May and June begin to send people flocking to the cooling breezes of Hampton Roads and the Chesapeake, the fair which cele. bfates the tercentennial of John Smith $ landing at Jamestown will be well worth going far to see.
 Apart from it's historic interest the Jamestown Exposition will have features which lend it d special interest possessed by none of the great shows which have preceded il.
 It will be summer resort and an educational object lesson combined. It will be the only one of the Worlds Fairs is which the nayies of the world will form part of the floating exhibits.
 Among its announced attractions is promised the fullest exhibit ever given of the uses and appliances for using the denatured alcohol which has become exceedingly popular, and which Is authorized in this country by an act of the last Congress- The progress of cleo trieal science has been. so great since the World Fair at St. Louis that the complete electrical exhibit promised at Jamestown will have Il high educational value.
 These features would suffice 10 make the Jamestown affair m ex ceedlngIy interesting show even if it had no other attraction. But though 1t IS not to compare in magnitude with the Fair at St. Louis t will have a variety of in. teresting things, sufficient to give it an important place among what president Mckinley called "the timekeepers of progress.
 And for those who do not care to devote their whole time to study. ing progress there will doubtless be Powhatan war pant for those who wish to take to the Warpath, " which in St. Louis was called the Pike -ReDuhIic

The Ross bill, an omnibus concern. with a drag-net clause enveloping all sorts of Foreign Corporations and dra wing them in with tenacles like an Octopus, has put the country in an up roar and flooded the legislature with appeals. The provisions of the Ross bill, as generally inter preted, requires all Foreign Corporations to become domes- tic Corporations, and since there cannot be two heads to one body. the Foreign concerns will have to abandon the home of heir do- mieile or keep out of Arkansas; and as most of them prefer to stay where they are best ae- quaiuted they are making ready, to dig out of this state, and as consequence the people of Ark ansas will be made to suffer as the result of such foolish and uncalled for legislation. Two or three bills have been introduced to repeal the Ross bill, and most likely it will be repealed. as it certainly ought to be, but why pass such measures? Is the legis lature to blame, or the people who elect the mem hers?

Gone, but not Forgotten ''

The above sentence Is the begin ming of tribute to the memory of Mir. Ray Erwin. q notice of whose demise has already appeared in these columns; but in order that q friend may make public his kindly feelings for the departed one, we relax our rule in his behalf. and give space to the following "GoNE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN. "
 On Saturday morning. April goth, Ioo7, the Death Angel visit ed the home of Me and Mrs. Geo. Erwin. of this city. and took from them their youngest son, Ray. He WIS Io years of age, loved and admired by all who knew him. He will be sadly missed in this community.
 Grieve not, dear parents; the family circle has been broken for the third time on earth, may 1t not be broken in heaven.
 We murmur not. that He should claim His own, for well we know while many bright hopes have fad ed from the fond parents hearts, as glowing hues from summers evening sky, the many ills of life S brief day have been exchanged for the starry crown, the seraph's song and the sweeter bliss of Heaven.
 Weep not over departed hopes :; no mortal woes can reach the peaceful sleeper now, where An gels watch his sweet repose.
 Little did we think, few short weeks ago, that Ray was so soon to pay the debt that we Twill all
 
 have to pay, sooner or later.
 With saddened hearts. we look upon the vacant seat. at church, school.room and home, and miss his merry voice and cheerful coun- tenanee. let the memory of his good influence will always be cher ished in our hearts and his kind words never forgotten.
 His father, mother, sisters and brothers are very near heart broK en in the loss of such dear one; but, dear ones, our loss is his eter nal gam. Though hard it seems to part with our loved ones here. yet there k nothing so sweet as to know that they are at rest. 'Tis hard to break the tender cord.
 When love has bound the heart 'Tis hard, so hard. to speak the
 words:
 Must we forever part;" Dear loved one, we have laid thee
 In the peaceful graves emCrace But thy memory will be cherished Til we see thy Heavenly face.
