He urged the states to adopt constitutional amendment for 1i- rect income tax as an emergency measure. He said had congress pass ed an income tax it would have been a slap at the senate.

SOON TO CONSIDER
 PAVING MATERIALS
tom missiOnerS of Paving District No. 2G Comforting With Paving Company Representatives Relative to Pave ment to be Used in This City.

Frank c. Powers. representing the Aver & Lord Tie Company of Chicago, manufacturers of creosoted wood pay ing blocks, returned to Pine Bluff yes- terday from Little Rock, where he conferred with various paving district commissioners relative to proposed pavements in that city. He returned to Pine Bluff to confer with the com missioners of Paving District No. 26, c. H. Triplett, Sr, William Puddephatt and E. A. Sheppard. relative to the material to be used in paving Olive and Walnut streets and three blocks on Third avenue from Main to Olive streets
 At the Hotel Jefferson when inter- viewed MT. Powers stated that the commissioners would not have anoth- CT meeting before Saturday and that he would probably have to wait until they met to take up the merits of his material. He displayed many testimo- nlals from various city engineers and board of improvement officials in many Of the large cities for the creosoted paving block, where they have tried and used for years. Among them was one from C. B. Holmes, chairman of the Board of Public Works. of Mime apolls. Mnn. Among other things Mir. Holmes says that the blocks have been in use in that city for more than nine years and that the city government has not paid one cent for repairs, add ing that there is not defective blocX in 4S6,000 yards of pavement.
 Mr Holmes gives ten reasons why he advocates the use of creosoted blocks. He says: Tt costs very little more than any other good pavement. It will last longer than any other. ex- cept granite blocks. It costs less for repairs than any pavement and if any repairs shoud be necessary they can be made easily and cheaply. Cuts for trenches, for laying sewers, cond,.its or pipes, as seems to be necessary in every growing city, can be made with out injury to the pavement. It is the without being slippery. It IS practically noiseless. It is elastic and best for horses. It is the easiest pavement to clean and keep clean. It is less dusty than any other It is the most sanitary of all pavements; in fact the creosote acts as disinfectant and germ killer which is perhaps greatest Of all of the desirable qualities it has in it's favor"
 Mir. Fletcher, of the Southern Bithu. lithic Company, of Nashville, Tenn, also spent yesterday in the city pre- senting the merits. of his pavement to the commissioners of Paving District No. 2s. |
