A GOOD WORK

Fulton, Dec. 31,-The Hampstead
County Leyee District has finished
the eight miles Of leyee on the east
bank of Red river thereby affording
protection to about II, 900 acres of
as fertile land as can be found. 1t
has taken an endless amount of
work and time to carry out this
project, now completed, beginning
with Il hard fight ia the Legislature
for an act To- raise the necessary
!$2J000, 90 for the work, and later
consuming a great amount OF per
sonal attention on the part of the
members of the board.
For about a month last year The
little town Of Fulton stood in the
limelight for much the same reason
that Pine Bluff is known throughout
the nation today 1t was the center
of the Bed river food that lasted FOR
almost three months and wiped out
the bumper crop that was almost
maturing, thereby inficting damage
beyond estimation. The present.
trend of the treeherous current indi-
dicates a fate for Fulton that has
come to Pine Bluff, for the long bend
in the river is throwing the carrent
hard against the bank at a point
where the most valuable business
property stands, and fully block or
lerumbling sand has been washed
away,
The government has begun work
on this section Of Red river, but. tie
views of the engineers do mot meet

.Of the 800, 10000 appropriated by
congress, $25, 10000 was spent foD

bish to make the stream more navi-
gable and give the current unobstruc-

has been about $4,000 per snag.

The levees and Strengthening t b g
course of the river is the solution Of
the problem according to the belief
Of the property holders who have
had lifetime's experience with tie
stream.
The government will not sanction
any change in the course of the river
but has leveed the stream from the
mouth of the river to the Arkansas
hne, where t he work stopped. The
difference in the land values is re-
markable, since the leveed portion
of Louisiona sells readily at $4,000
per acre while the same unprotected
land in Arkansas is slow sale at IS
and $40 per acre, Think of the in
crease in taxes and revenues that
would follow il good crops and high
priced land abounded throughout

and 100 miles in width

Rock, when he declared himself OPP

Prohibition sentiment is grow

this sentiment is beginning to be
felt in congress, which has here

passed both houses in a distinct
step toward prohibition. Even

There are some people who
think Taft will assert his indepen-

bosh. Roosevelt made Taft what
he is and could, if he saw proper,

1t was in session yesterday, that re-
minded one OF a erist mill
Representative Reds bill, which
was read for the first time and re-
ferred TO the committee on ways and
means, indicates a radical departure
from established precedent in that If
1t passes as it stands it Will remain
in force and effective permanently,
subject to amendments by each leg
islature but not subject necessarily
to reenactment in its entirety Here
tofore each legislature has enacted
new tax law at its first session, to
continue in force two years. This
method has made the states taxation
uncertain and unsatisfactory in
number of particulars. Hereafter, IL
the Reid bill passes, every man who
pays taxes into the treasury Of the
state can be reasonably certain OF
what he will have to pay several years
ahead.
A state tax Of S25 on automobiles
is contained in the new tax law Re
tail and wholesale tobacco dealers are
also taxed. II has many other fea-
lures, all of which viii be uncertain
until the house and senate have act
cd on them.

the governor to borrow money TO meet

ture. was adopted.
