 Mir Taft consults his treasury chief about econ omes in government. It MT MacNeagh who was asked as MT. Taft took ofhce to pro vide ways and means to money in the d1ner- ent departments. The merchant cabinet member had the advantage of a long business training, and 1t did not take him long to discover that It possible to many thousands of dollars by putting business methods in effect in the diff ferent bureaus of government. It was found for instance that good many bureaus of the depart jments were in the habit of purchasing their sup plies independently. The result of this was that some Of them were paying much more money for some articles than was being paid by others. Reform in purchase methods has come and 1t has come also in many other lines, the net suit being that Uncle Sam's pocketbook is being saved good many thousands of dollars yearly.
 Jacob M. Dickinson, the secretary of war in MT. Tafts cabinet, is southern man and a Demo crat. It may little curious at first thought, but 1t is fact that the army officers in the main. are glad that southerner is the chief of the department. Despite the attitude of Demo cratic southern members of congress army questions generally, the southerners feel kindly toward the officers and men of the service There is something in the military life that appeals to them and while the official southern Democrats generally are outspoken against what they call the danger of great standing army, the military establishment as it is has their sympathy always. and their support frequently.
 The secretary of war comes from that section of the country where everybody loves horses, and he is no exception to the rule. He is golf play CT also and this fact perhaps makes him appeal to MT. Tafts sympathies just much does the fact that the secretary is great lawyer Secre- tary Dickinson is not serving in Washington in an official capacity for the first time. Years ago he was the assistant attorney general during the last 24 months of the Cleveland administration and he was counsel for the government afterward in the matter of the settlement of the Alaskan boundary dispute
 When the president has particularly knotty problem in legislation on hand and needs to study 1t from legal standpoint, he goes over 1t himself hrst, just as a judge on the bench does with sub mitted evidence, forms his own opinion, and then calls in the supreme court of his cabinet which Is composed of the great lawyers. Knox Dckin- son, Wfckersham, Nagel and Ballinger. It Is pos sible that MT. Taft depends just as much upon the legal opinion of his secretary of war as he does upon that of his attorney general At any rate the war secretary is accounted by Mr. Taft

PITcocK IS coMPLIMENTED.
Penitentiary Superintendent Receives
 Letter from Board.

J. A. Pitcock, superintendent of the state penitentiary, received letter from the Penitentiary Board which formed a very appropriate Christmas remembrance, and will long be cher ished by the recipient.
 The public is interested for the req son that the letter commended the superintendent for the manner in which he conducted the state peniten- tiary the past year.
 The communication was signed by all the members of the board, except Governor, Donaghey, who refused to affiX his signature when the letter was presented to him by Attorney General Hal Norwood. The governor declined to state his reason for not signing the communication. Those who signed the letter were J. R. lobe, state auditor and president of the penitentiary board, Guy B. Tucker, commissioner of mines, manufacture and agriculture; O. c. Ludwig, secre- tary of state; Hal L. Norwood, attor. ney general.
 The letter was substantially as fol- lows:
 "On account of the various causes, with which you are familiar, the pen itentiary on April 1, of this year, owed the general revenue fund y5S,- 900, and other amounts on current expenses, making total indebtedness of about s120,000. Since that date the penitentiary has paid all expen- ses, has paid back to the general revenue fund $35,0O0 of the balance due on the purchase price of the state farm, and will have about S30,000 in the treasury as soon as we market the balance of the crop and collect some amounts due from contractors.
 ''The financial success of the pen itentiary since the first of April has been due to a large crop and good prices, and the further fact that we have used available convicts upon contract work at remunerative prices, and we recognize the fact that to you largely is due the credit for keeping everything moving, and we want to especially express our appre- citation of the fact that you have Hooked after the convicts in such way as there has not been a single case of overwork, or other kind of mistreatment of single convict.
 You will also please extend to Dr. w.. B. Harrison our appreciation of his attention to the convicts and to all the other officials and employees of the penitentiary for the faithful dis. charge of their duties"

Convict Labor on Shares Disproved.

Little Rock.-The offer made the penitentiary board by H. W. Forte, to the effect that he would furnish the land, teams and implements for working the crop, and would provide stockades for the convicts, if the state would furnish the labor and give him half the proceeds, was re- jected by the committee named to consider the matter.
 The disapproval of the proposed plan was reported in formal manner to the board, but no further action was taken at the time. It is under stood that the matter will come up for final disposition at the meeting to be held on December 27.
 MT. Fort proposed to take the wom- en now in the penitentiary, the crip- pies and men who are not consider ed able-bodied, and work them on his plantation, which is located about 20 miles south of the capital city.

LABOR PRICE DROPS
R. L. RALEIGH sURRENDERs PEN-
 ITENTIARY CONTRACT.
w. L. Reeves is Later Awarded All Convicts Not in Use at State
 Farm for $1 Day.
Little Rock, Ark.

R. L. Raleigh, to whom a contract was awarded to use all the available convicts at $1.40 per day, has is- sued statement claiming that his contract was violated by the State. and in compliance with his request the same was cancelled.
 Tn his communication to the board MT. Raleigh said:
 My contract with the state of Arkansas has been violated and it is now in very serious condition for the state and myself, and, as it looks like the state intends to vio- late it further at the end of the pres ent month, l am unwilling to make a contract for the men, not knowing whether or not I will get them. think 1t best for the state and for me that you arrange at once to To- cate the men elsewhere"
 MT. Raleigh's claim that his con- tract was violated by the state was based on the refusal of the board to provide waterboys at his camp, and on the fact that forty of the convicts in his employ were taken from him and placed at work on the state capitol.
 There was a spirited discussion when the question was considered by the board Governor Donaghey insisted on the convicts being kept on the state farm, while Commission CT Tucker. Secretary of State Lud- wig, and Attorney General Norwood argued that the cost of maintenance would have to be met betweenn now and the time to raise andother crop, and it was decided to award the contract to MT. Reeves.

a waiting room of their own.
 MT. Tafts cabinet forms what might be called a legal family. Most of the members are law yers of the first rank, and it is open secret that they selected because of their high ability. There no longer books on nature and books on general history subjects in the office li- brary of the White House. New book shelves have been put in and on them are hundreds of the brownish-red covered volumes which beto- ken the law book. It is said that cabinet meet ings these days take on the semblance of con- sultation of lawyers. AS example of this 1t may be said that one day the president in talking to some newspaper correspondents said that no matter what subject was preached in the cabinet room at that time the thoughts of everyone went from the suggested subject to the matter of the strengthening of the antitrust laws
 What the president said at that time is prac- tcally true of most of the present sessions of the cabinet for 1t is known that while MT. Taft is anxious to carry out the Roosevelt policies he wants to buttress them with the law that constitutional flaws be found in them by means of which after the best intentions the part of the legislators. the guilty might find means of escape.
 It must not be supposed for an instant that be- cause most of MT Tafts cabinet members lawyers, they have no avocations in life to turn them aside frequently from their vacations. Take the ranking member of the cabinet for instance. Philander Chase Knox The secretary of state Is a devotee of the outdoor life, and is no less tive in open air pursuits than was President Roosevelt, though it is true that MT. Knox does not for the pursuit of game nor for the study of natural history
 The secretary of state, when he is not discuss ing matters with the president, or is not engaged in strengthening out international tangles, is eith CT playing golf driving pair of fast, spirited horses There few more ardent lovers of the noble horse" than Secretary Knox He rides oc- casionally and he Is not averse to taking five bar red gate if his mount is jumper, and if the gate happens in his way. The secretary's chief delight is driving. On his Pennsylvania farm near Valley Forge, the scene of the awful winter which was passed by the continental army under George Washington, MT. Knox has many horses of approved pedigree, and many dairy animals also of noted forbears
 Franklin MacVeagh, the secretary of the treas ury who is the second ranking officer in MT. Tafts cabinet is merchant although in early days he studied law. MT. MacVeagh is not given particularly to the strenuous life it is viewed generally. He is much of walker and has love of nature which leads him afield on many ramble but for games and for shooting the sec retary little.
 Up near Dublin New Hampshire. the treasury chief has country home and there on the rocky

NATURAL GAS OFFERED.
Mayor Duley Emphasizes Importance
 of Project to Capital City.

Moyor Duley has announced that 1 he will arrange a meeting between the Finance Ordinance and Street Committees and representatives of the Arkansas Natural Gas Company immediately after New Years.
 T wish it were possible to arrange a conference earlier," said Mayor Du- ley, "as I am anxious to bring about meeting as soon as possible, for l firmly believe that this is the most important request for a franchise that | has ever come before the city, not ex- cepting even the street car company. If we can bring natural gas here it will mean a wonderful industrial growth for Little Rock, for there is absolutely no doubt that we can get the factories if we can give them as- surance of cheap fuel. Also it will mean the saving of not less than S75,O00 year to the public of the city in fuel and light bills.
 50 far as I am concerned, there are only three things that I believe should be demanded from this nat ural gas company. One is the talk ing of proper precautions to protect the streets. The second is the secur- ing of a maximum rate to protect the small consumer.
 T believe the question of rates is one which will work itself out. would be satisfied with a maximum rate of 50 cents a thousand cubic feet. That would preclude any pos sibility of the gas companys hold ing up the small consumers.
 But as a general proposition, the gas company will never be able to charge it's maximum rate because of the keenness of competition. As soon as they begin selling gas for 50 cts. per thousand feet the price of coal will go down. The gas people will have to come down to meet the con- petition. It has invariably worked out that way. In Texarkana, where the gas company is allowed to charge 50 cents, they are actually charg- ing 24 cents.
 The third proposition I would in- sist upon is the company's posting forfeit that they will complete the work of piping gas here within reasonable time. That will insure the city of gttting the gas.''

Cost of Sending Guard to Camp.

It has ben estimated that it will cost the United States government between s45,000 and s50,000 to send the Arkansas regiments of infantry to the encampment at Leon Springs, Texas, next summer, providing the government decides to take such ac- tion. The Arkansas guard has been notified that steps are being taken before congress to allow the national guard organizations of the country to use a part of their government f. nancial aid for this purpose.

Mrs. Lu- ton states that she has two lemon trees in her yard, one of which is three years old and has fourten lem ons on it, nearly all the same size of the one she forwarded to the department.

MT.
