Under the present system of assessing. as much proper5e escapes taxation IS gets onto the books. All property should be on the books at par value The rate sho4Ij be decreased a8 Iog as possible.
 ?. l do not knew. Sufficient should be made to finish inc building iu the manner called feY oy the accepted plans. Then the state capitol ta. should be continued uatiI sufficient rev enue is raised to purchase sufficient grounds, if same can be done at Ieas- enable figures, and then beau5ify the grounds equal at least to any state in the South. Relying or the word Of i Arkansas best governor for years, and the business ability of H. L.
