STATE FAIR MAY BE HELD
Stockholders to Hold Meeting at
 Hot Springs.
Talk of Abandoning Fair Said to Have Come From Hot-Headed "Wide-
 Open" Adherents.

Hot Springs, May 25 The life or death of the Arkansas State Fair will be at issue tonight when the stockholders of the association which has produced three annual state expositions, will meet to pass upon the important question which has state wide interest.
 The reasons given for the pos sible suspension of the state fair association are that the recent ses- sion of the legislature refused to repeal the Amis law which makes gambling on horse races an offense and the failure of the legislature, likewise, to pass bill appropria- ting funds to pay for premiums to be awarded for the best products from the varions parts of Arkansas.
 The matter will be threshed out tonight and if it is decided to hold another fair officers will be elected at once and plans go forward for the next annual exposition which would be held at Hot Springs next October.
 It is said that talk of abandoning the Hot Springs fair came from the more hot-headed members of the "wide-open" faction which faction is closely aligned with Dan Stuart and majority of the officials of the state fair association. But the fact that Little Rock is eager to gain the fair and that its removal from Hot Springs would mean the loss of thousands of dol lars to the Arkansas Spa, has caused those who spoke of throw ing up the project as sort of re- taliation upon the "reformers to reconsider the matter.

season now almost completed, Hendrix College is the only team that has had q chance that chance is a slim one-of beating Cumberland College out of first place. The latter have now played all their scheduled games, finishing with percentage of .625. Henderson and Ouachita are tied for second place and each has two games to play, one with the other. If either team should win both of these games. its final percentage would be .6oo, or .o25 below that of the Clarksville college. If the two Philadelphia institutions should "split even" the percen- tage of each would be $50.
 Hendrix, however, has four games to play, all with the State Normal. It also has protested a game with Arkansas which mem bers of the team say is sure to be awarded them. Their very re- mote chance of finishing first, therefore. consists in winning all four of the games with the Normal and being awarded the protested game W h Arkansas. If this should occur, Hendrix's final per centage would be $50, or .25 points above Cumberland. But the most sanguine rooters for the orange and black would hardly believe it possible for Hendrix to defeat the Normal four straights- in fact, most local tans look for an even break between the teams-and it is practically settled that Cumber- land has won the championship.

PUTTING ROAD
 ABOVE WATER

For the past two weeks the mills of the Freeman Lumber Go. at Gleason have been shut down while large force of men have been engaged in raising the dump of the railroad OH which the tim Der is brought to the plant. The dump is being raised an average of about six feet and will be con- pletely above high water so that floods will not have the effect of causing the mills to be idle. There are now about three feet of water in the cypress bottoms, and until the dump was raised the water covered the track. The work will be completed in about a week and the mills will again be- gin to run on full time.

OF INTEREST TO
 DEMONSTRATORS

The following suggestions by Special Agent J. E. Rogers will be of interest to the farmers of the county who are following the gov ernment instructions in cultivating their crops.
 Instructions To Demonstrators and CO
 Operators.
 On account of continued rainy weather I cannot visit you as often as I would like to.
 When cultivation is taken up again, I urge all to be very care tul to see that the soil is not too wet.
 Use the harrow as much as pos sible. When you can't you will have to resort to blows and hoes. The dryer the weather, the rore the soil should be cultivated.
 Use the side harrow on cultivator or small blows with heel sweeps. Plant peas for summer crop. It will strengthen your land. Corn does better with them than without them. Plant clover. crimson and burr, for winter crop. All are fine soil builders. Oats. barley, wheat and rye are also fine winter crop and prevent land from washing, at the same time putting humus into the soil.
 For encouragement to the mem- bers of boys corn clubs, l sug- gest that the fathers of the mem- bers allow them small sum per bushel for the corn they raise.
 Demonstrators and co-operators who have carried out the work so far are we'll pleased. Do your best, and be prepared to give us a re- port this fall. for the work depends largely upon the results of this crop and it will also be a great benefit to me.

SAYS TAXATION SYSTEM
NEEDS SERIOUS REVISION

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 10-[Editor
Herald; Where there is a certain sum
in taxes to be raised each year it can
be raised in one of two ways-either by
high valuation and a low tax rate
or by a low valuation and a high tax
rate. A high valuation should encour-
age the investment of capital, whereas
a high tax rate will Tetard investment.
In a city like Los Angeles, where the
population is steadily increasing and
the price of live business property con-
stantly advancing, those who fix tax
values must be fully alert to the situa-
tion to do justice to all concerned.
Many small lines of business are dis
turbed or destroyed by reason of ad-
vances in prices of business property.
The tenant cannot obtain a term lease,
and is paying as high rent as he pos
sibly can pay and live, and then the
property changes hands at an advance
(the purchaser being told by the real
estate agent that he can advance the
rents-as he must do in order to show a
decent income on his inYestment) and
the rent, on short notice, is jumped up
double what it was. and the tenant Is
forced to sacrifice his stock and quit IN
disgust Assessed valuations having
now been raised higher, the owner must
thereby pay more taxes, his net in

to make new ones that are for the best
interests of everyone concerned; but

HOLDS SALOONS TO BLAME
FOR RUlNATlON OF GIRLS

LONG BEACH, Sept. 6.-[Editor
Herald: 1t appears from the major
ity of the letters in the Letter Box
that the question uppermost in the
minds of the writer's is the social evil.
Now I verify believe that when all
orphans are taken away out in the
country on a farm, before they are
thrown out on the street to act as mes
senger or newsboys, and the girls
housed in some back alley to satisfy
the Righteousness of bar room politi-
clans, then and not until then will we
90 our duty as Christians and citizens.
Then we will have taken one step to-
ward reform. The most damnable pro-
moter of the social evil is the drink
traffic, and when the church people be-
come Christianized this evil will be
wiped from the face of the earth.
what my eyes have seen and my ears

DARE ANY ONE TAKE UP THIS
QUESTION AND HANDLE IT WITH
OUT GLOVES?
Let us wipe out the drink traffic, and
then we will have given protection to
the unwilling victim of vice; for there
is where most girls are ruined. They
are first given drink until they have
been robbed of their reason, then they
fall an easy prey to the vulture of vice.
1 believe the person with an honest
heart finds this one of the most difficult
problems to handle, for the sexual re-
iation in all ages and all nations has
been dealt with in many ways, and
many laws have been made to regulate
and restrict that relationship, and yet
we may return to the heather tribe for

Let us wipe out the causes of vice

WHENCE COMES MORALITY?
is QUESTION OF STUDENT

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 15-IEditor
Herald; Begging the indulgence of a
few remarks in your valuable paper,
am anxious to know why all this talk
about morality. If it conduces to the
sum of human happiness, then the
most feeble efforts in acquiring this
condition is praiseworthy.
Whence came this quality, this desire
to be moral? If no desire, no action.
Some claim this is implanted within us
by and through commandments from
God. How, then, do they account for
the morality of nations who never saw
or heard of Jehovah or Jesus? Whence
came this morality of the ancient ma
tions, before the Bible was written?
OF the ancient Mexicans of this con-
tinent? OF the "heathen Hindoo who
does the best he kin do?" Who -four
ished before Moses was born? When
we consider the morality of a nation
as a whole. and it compares favorably
with our own, why all this self-praise?
Other nations not having access to
our Bible and equaling us in morality
surely is something remarkable, for we
have a moral code revealed to us.
Their achievements are greater than
ours. I presume 1t is rather repug-

come will be less and the matter finally
will simmer down to the point where
the owner must be content with lower
rate of income.
The matter of appraisement for taxa
tion is in need of a correction and re-
vision. The responsibility of fixing
valuations on all classes of property,
both city and county, is too great for
one man to assume. There should be
in each county two tax commissioners,
to be appointed by the governor or
judge of the superior court-men of
good judgment and known probity-
who, with the assessor, would consti-
tute a board of valuers to fix assess
ment values.
Moreover, In counties where there are
large cities, like Los Angeles, Sacra-
mento, Oakland, etc, there should be
but one assessor and one tax collector
for both the county and city. At pres
ent the county assessors valuation may
be double that of the city assessor on
a certain piece of property, or vice
cersa. This is a piece of folly that
should be abolished. OCTAVIOUS.

DIR. HUMANITAs DOES NOT
READ HIS MORNING HERALD

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 16.-[Editor
Herald: We are a little disappointed
that The Herald has said nothing about
the smoke nuisance on the street cars
and the efforts to stop the same. The
writer is in hearty sympathy with pro
hibiting smoking on street cars at all
times and all parts thereof 1t Is i'm
possible to smoke on the cars any
where and not pollute the air for the
rest Of the passengers. 1t is suggested
to limit smoking to the front of the
cars, but il is evident that smoke would
enter the inner or closed car and Wit
late the already stale air therein. So
let's not compromise with the nuisance.
The minority have no right to haz-
ard the comfort and in some cases
the health of the majority on our pub
lie conveyances, especially as we have
to spend so much time on the cars in
modern city life.
1t is a nasty, filthy habit, anyway,
and tends to dull the finer sensibilities
of its victims, making them more
selfish and unmindful of the rights of
others. This is evident by the fact
that many business men would not
think OF smoking in their offices or
stores, fearing lest they offend GUS
toner. but who do not hesitate to sit
and puff the air foul on the over
crowded street car.
1 believe it is a move in the right
direction to abate this nuisance on the
cars, for 1t is an act discountenancing
the habit. So here's hoping the crusade
will be successful.
And bye the bye, all We Public Letter
Boxers bear in mind the picnic at
Sycamore Grove at 2:30 p. m. at the
entrance thereof the fourth Saturday of
this month, Sept. %. We had a fine
time last month and are going to have
a bigger one this time. Come armed
with fact and logic: they are the only
weapons needed. A red carnation will
be the sign. Let all come who can.
