WOULD APPEAL
 FROM COUNTY COURT
State Tax Commission Wants New Law in Assessment Matters
 DOnaghey's Message.

Little Rock, Ark, Nov. 11.-Mem- bers of the Arkansas Tax Commits sion have held long conferences with Gov. Donaghey relative to proposed changes in the revenue laws of the state, and Gov. Donaghey has asked the Commission to make draft of all changes desired by it, and sub- init these to him for incorporation in his message.
 Gov. Donaghey intimated that he is for the changes the Commission deem necessary. One of the changes the Commission will probably ask is for an act giving the county or state the right of appeal from the decision of a county judge in assess ment matters. As the state law ROW stands, no appeal can be made from the county judges decision when all assessment is lowered. The taxpayer has the right to appeal, but no tax payer would appeal when the as sessment on his property is reduced. With such an act as this passed the Tax Commission, or its represents tive, could appear in the county court when assessment matters are passed upon. and appeal to the higher courts if the decision WAS not satisfactory to the Commission and iu this manner thresh out may of the questions which have proven vex- atious in the past because there was no recourse after the county judge had made his decision

THE TRADESMAN'S
 WEEKLY REVIEW
THE tradesman's weekly review Progress of Industry In the Southern
 States Is Un.
 Nh0fnd

Chattanooga, Tenn, Nov. 11.-Elec- tion matters out of the way, it is reasonable to suppose that changes for the better will be seen in all Iavenues of trade. Whether it is really true that pending elections re- tard business, or that such conditions are merely made an excuse at times, it is morally certain that policies hangs like pail over the commer- cial horizon of a state, and clears away only after the results are made known. This being true in the South as elsewhere, the argument is pre- sented that more concentrated atten- tion will at least be given to business from now on, and the newspapers which have Thrown so much of their attention to politics will seek in formation with greater assiduity from the realm of commerce and trade. 1t is the constant publicity of pleasing business conditions in a community which helps more than any other agency to inspire everyone with con tidence and to create an atmosphere of optimism. During the week end ing today the progress of industrial life in the Southern States has been unabated. Herewith is given list Of the new concerns established in the South during the week as report ed to The Tradesman. These, or course, are only the more important ones selected from a larger list.

FRESNO, May 6.-The elopement of
his wife with a man formerly in his
employ, a chase after her to Kansas
City and then to Chicago; the kidnap-
ing of his little daughter by his spouse;
a race back to Kansas City and the
arrest of the woman in that city, are a
few of the experiences of William Cor
bett, formerly in business in Porter
vile and proprietor of the Corbett
paint company.
Until a few days ago Mr.. and Mrs.
Corbett lived in Porterville evidently
in the very height of connubial bliss.
Corbett was running a prosperous bus
mess and had "a number of men in his
employ. Among others was man
named Floyd ogden, of prepossessing 8
appearance and reputed to have con-
siderable personal property.
Corbett was nearly prostrated by
learning one morning last week that
his wife had gone and in the company
of ogden. Corbett left his business
and, after ascertaining that the pair
had fed to Kansas City, made after
them. In that city he found from
Mrs. Corbett's sisters that she had gone
to Chicago.
Corbett continued his journey. talk

While Corbett was hunting for his wife
she learned of her husbands where
abouts and, after kidnapping the child,
left again for Kansas City.
Corbett suspected that the woman n
would go back to her sister. His sus-
picions were well founded and he
caused her arrest by the probation of
ficers in Kansas City, at the same time

for infidelity.
Attorney George 6. Murray of Por-
terville has been retained by Corbett
and the child is in the custody of the
circuit court in Kansas City pending an
investigation as to the relative fitness
of the mother and father to be entrust-
