Conway needs canning factory
and the business men of the city
should see that we get one. No
other industry can compare with
this in the benefits the people
would derive from it as compared
with the cost of installing the fac
tory. 1t would employ a large
amount of labor just at the time
when work is usually scarce and
be a source of considerable income
at dull time of year. But the
greatest benefit would be in en-
couraging farmers to diversity
their crops by furnishing them
with a market for vegetables and
fruits.

TAX COMMISSION.

That there are some gross
inequalities in the assessment
of property in this county is
a fact of which everybody
has always been aware, and
the same conditions probably exist
in every county in the state. But
these inequalities are not SO glar-
ing as those which exist in the rel
alive values which the various as
SCISSORS of the state place upon the
articles which they assess.
From an article recently publish
ed in the Arkansas Democrat con-
tanning some extracts from the
last report of the state auditor we
learn some interesting facts. Pu-

most populous and the wealthiest
county in the state. Its banks are
probably capitalized for twenty
times the amount of the Faulkner

PROSPECTS FOR
NATURAL GAS
FROM FRIDAYS DAILY.

Judge John B. Jones of this city,
who is at the head of the company
which has been prospecting tor
natural gas in the vicinity OF Plum
erville, As miles northwest OF Little
Rock, was the principal speaker at
the weekly luncheon of the Busl.
ness Mems League, at the Hotel
Marion, says the Arkansas Demo-
crat.
Judge Jones recited at some
length the prospe sting of the com.
pany for natural gas and the final
location of the prospect at Plumer-
vile, which, he said, was the only
gas field within piping distance OF
Little Rock. The company has
leased 40, 900 acres of the best gas
bearing territory, and has been
drilling for gas for over year.
They have met with the usual dit
fculties of deep we'll drillers, with
broken cables and the other neces-
sary delays, but, he says, at this
time they have we'll down ~ 90
feet, and that gas experts say the
gas strata will be struck within a
few days if no further mishap be-
falls the drillers.
At one level the drillers struck
a crevice which gave forth a strong
flow of natural gas, the pressure
measuring 312 pounds. This is
stronger than the pressure OF the
Fort Smith wells, which measure
from 90 to 25e pounds.
The drillers are now in strata
of shale which is heavily gas-bear-
ing and it is certain that below this
strata they will strike the flow of
gas.
Six weeks ago the cable broke
again, but within the past two or
three days the men have repaired
the break and are now drilling
again.
1--WE are liable to strike gas any
day now, said Judge Jones. III
may be month and it may be to-
morrow. We could pipe to Little
Rock and install the service here
in four months. Experts have said
that three months would complete
the work. The laws with refer
ence to pipe line franchise are
very liberal and we anticipate nc
difficulty in securing right of way.
1--WE propose to supply the PEG,
pie of Little Rock with natural gas
at IS cents per thousand feet fol-
domestic purposes and 10 cents pei
thousand for manufacturing pur.
poses. Our price for factory pur.
poses might go below this point
but that would depend upon con
ditions.
"A we'll known manufacture
said to me the other day that gas a
10 cents per thousand feet would BIZ
cheaper than coal if given to the

$4,000 FOR STATE NORMAL
Peabody Board Makes Munlfl-
Gent Offer.
President Doyne's Efforts Rewarded by
Liberal Prop osition from Educa-
tional Fund.
FROM FRIDAYS DAILY.

That the efforts of President ] j.
Dovne to secure aid for the State
Normal were not without results
was learned from a letter which he
has lust received from DR.. Wycliffe
Rose, secretary of the board, stating
that $40, 900 had been granted to
the Normal for an agricultural high
school building, upon condition
that the state appropriate $40, 900
for the same purpose.
With this liberal donation in
sight and the fact that the state
Democratic convention recon-
mended the location of an agricul-
tural school in connection with
the Normal, there is now hardly
any doubt that the legislature will
make the necessary appropriation
to build the agricultural college
here.
President Doyne, who is close
friend of DR.. Rose, secretary of the
Board, has been endeavoring for
some months to secure an appro
priation from the Peabody, and
that he is Glazed over the action G
the board goes without saying.
The following is quotation
from the letter received from DR.
Rose:
THE Peabody Board, at its an
nual meeting held on October 7
adopted the following resolution:
That to the State Norma
School at Conway, Arkansas, bt
granted the sum of $40, 900, to be
used in erecting building for ar
agricultural high school, to bt
maintained as part of the depart
ment of agriculture of the Norma
School; this grant to be made or
condition that the state of Arkansa!
appropriate the sum of $40, 900 t.
be used for the same purpose. -

"Value CT property required to be
listed as banker, broker or stock
iobber" is 500, 100; in Pulaski
county it is $500. With probably
net more than one-twentieth of the
value of this class of property
Faulkner county pays taxes on 10
times as much as Pulaski pro-
portion of 81 500 assessed in Faux
uer county to 81 assessed in Pu-
laski county.
Under the heading Money in
vested in bonds, joint stock COM
panies or otherwise" Miller, one
of the smallest counties in the
state, lists $I62, $50; Pulaski lists
$IoIo. Desha and Chicot counties
lie side by side, yet hogs in Desha
are assessed at 81 a head against
S. in Chicot. Sebastian county
lists four times as much goods and
merchandise as Pulaski, while the
latter value is probably just the op-
posite-four times as much in Pu-
laski.
The entire colored population OF
Pulaski county pays taxes on
ST. 900 - there are doubtless
several individual negroes worth
more than that-while in the
small county of Desha the negroes
pay almost an equal value.
Such inequalities as these would
not make so much difference if it
were not for the fact that each
county pays exactly the same rate
for state taxation. From the fig
ures given above 1t is evident that
the people of many counties pay
far less than their share of the
cost of the state government, while
a few pay too much.
All this suggests more forcibly
the need of state tax commission,
such as is advocated by Governor
Elect George w. Donaghey.
There ought to be body of state
officials with power to correct
these inequalities and to force each
county to pay its just share of
taxes. At the same time there
ought to be a remedy, if such
can be devised, for placing a pre-
MUM upon dishonesty by the pres
ent methods of county assessment.
