Little Rock, May 14.-Friends of Newman Ba, I, the bankrupt sent to the Pulask. -aunty jail yesterday by Judge Trieper because he did not l,ay over to J. A. Conner, trustee for his creditors $16,6S4.10 as directed by the Federal court, believe that Judge Trieher will not force the old man to remain long in prison, but people familiar with the court are of diff ferent opinion.
 Baum conducted furnishing store on East Markham street, supplying share croppers and renters and talk ing mortgages on their crops. He filed a petition in bankruptcy two years ago and the creditors resisted his discharge.
 He could not show what had be- come of his assets and several times he was ordered to disgorge. The case was twice appealed to the highest court and finally affirmed. Baum made his answer in the court yes terday, claiming to have nothing. He states his wife had property worth at least $25,000 and had owned it for many years, but she refused to assist him. He claimed to be working at the store now on a salary and offered to turn that over to the receiver, but it was declined. During the eXamina- ton of the bankrupt, Baum claimed he lost over $500 one night playing poker in his church with several oth- CT members.
 Baum is considerably restless and paces the floor of the third floor room in which he is confined, all >durin , the day.

Take. Are High, And Why

The subjects uppermost in the CON
versation around Newark just at pres
ent are Town Improvement. Expense
and Taxation. why are our taxes so
high when we have no more public I'M
provements than other towns around
u.s." is heard on all sides Here are
some suggestions which NAV open up
interesting lines OF thought.
One writer has claimed that Newark
like Topsy lust growed' and the facts
only go to show his idea pretty we'll
said How much of the taxation is
due to the haphazard way III which the
town has grown upp Look at the ex-
pense OF piping. wiring. etc, the rapid
developing section along Prospect
avenue. The cost is for the work Of
improving an extent OF land which
usually represents a population large
enough to minimize the expense.
There is much property back of main
street that could be developed at COM
parativc small expense to the town.
Streets running from Main street to
Cleveland avenue would not only add
convenience to residents on Cleveland
avenue. but the lots along those
streets would soon be built up and
thereby increase the revenue.
The consideration OF the fact that
Newark has maximum amount of
churches for town oi its size NAV
help in solving the problem. The
churches themselves are exempt from
taxatiOn the residences OF the pastors
OF these churches are exempt from
taxes: pastors from other churches
live here-their property is exempt
from taxes.
We have our State college within
our limits and although that possession
shall ever be one of the proudest
claims of the town, it is an item N the
list of taxable property.
Through lack OF foresight on the
part of someone the public school sys-
TEN has three buildings where one or
two are usual in towns OF the same
size.
During the last few years two prop
critics heretofore asscssable, have been
acquired by Fraternit:es. making them
exempt.
Our large manufacturing industries
pour money into the town, bring pros
perity and progress into our midst
and are ever welcome. but still they
make our tax rate higher.
These statements are made simply
as clues to the query of 'Why?' Would
the town wish to do without anv one
of these which only reflect credit upon
our community. In a less favored
town certainly the tax rate is lower
and the rents much less
