TO REDUCE ARKANSAS TAX.
Chairman of the Tax Commiss'on
 Visits Sister State.

Little Rock.-Col. J. E. Hampton chairman of the Arkansas tax coln' mission. has returned from a vlslt to Alabama. where he made a study of the tax system in vogue i'll that state. in order to give the assessors of the state the advantage Of the Alabama system when they meet Ill the various districts this month.
 Colonel Hampton found in Alabama that the property is assessed on oo per cent valuation, and the owners must come up to that valuation. AS the value of Alabama land is hlgher than that of Arkansas the percentage of taxes is lower than in Arkansas, but when all of the Arkansas prop erty is on the books Chairman Hamp' ton is of the opinion that the rate here will be much reduced. Colonei Hampton believes that Arkansas property at the present time is as sessed on an average of less than 70 per cent. and says he will be satis- fled if the commission succeeds Tn increasing this to 50 per cent this year. Much valuable property, ac' cording to Colonel Hampton, is be ing assessed at the same price today that it was ten years ago, and in this rlanner the state is deprived of much taxable value.

State Medical Society Declares Civ ina of $1,ooo,ooo by J. D. Rocke-
 feller Was Humanitarian Act.

Little Rcck.-Bd.e of it's mythical terrors and yet shown up in all US fearful prevalence, unciniriasls, or the hookworm disease, was dag nosed and discussed from every view point at the meeting of the Arkansas Medical Society. The origin, nature, causes, symptoms, treatment, preVa- lence and prevention of the disease were all treated in scientific papers.
 At the conclusion of the sympo- siun, the society adopted a resolu- ton recognizing the presence Of the hook NO; ID in Arkansas and urging tue pressing neceSst.s of taking steps toward its eradication The gift of $1 .00C coo by John D. Rockefeller for the inauguration of campaign against the dis aase was recognized as a humanitarian aCt. and the ap- oreCa. on of the society expres59i tu the donor
 An illustrated lc ;.ura by Dr. Chas Wardeli Stiles of Washington, D. Ie who Is connected wit. the Rockefel- Ter campaign againG5 q" hookworm, Was he feature of the symposium. Dr. Stiles was unsparing in his statements and quoted facts and fig nrcs proving the fc:,rfu! ravages of the I.sease among t'.e poor whites of tbe South. and b&cTed up his statements with pictures of the con- ditions of which ke told.
 The pathology ard ei'logy of the hookworm was treated by Dr. Will liam H. Deadrick of Helena in sci entific address. Dr. Albert McGill of Chidester delivered a treatise on the diagnosis and symptomatology of the disease Dr. w. $. Stewart of physicians in the state to discover the presence of the hookworm in Arkansas and to investigate it's prev alence here, gave a lecture on the treatment of the disease.
 The resolution adopted by the so- ciety follows:
 Resolved, That we formally rec ogniZe the existence of the hookworm disease in our state; that we call up- on our people to lay aside false pride in admitting this diagnosis. and that we urge our people 10 unite in an effort to improve our sanitary con ditions and thereby reduce not only this but other soil pollution diseases.
 "ResClved, further. That We eX- press our appreciation of the gener- ous and humanitarian act of John D. Rockefeller in giving s1000,000 for the inauguration of a campaign for the eradication of the hookwcrm dis ease"
 The hookworm is distinctly a Southern disease, as far as the Unit ed States is concerned, Dr. Charles w. Sites declared in his lecture.
 'It is a negro disease and came first from Africa. It was brought to America by the negro and was fos tered by the unsanitary conditions everywhere prevalent in the agricul tural districts of the South," he said
 Tn about so per cent of the farms owned by negroes there are no san itary facilities, and soil pollution Is indiscrminately practiced In 40 per cent of the farms belonging to white people similar conditions ex- ist."

 Moreover, 1t is possible that 1t was something of a wrench for Governo Hughes to give up a perfectly proper ambition: common to good many Americans. to be president of the United States President Taft, how ever succeeded in inducing Governor Hughes to take the view that duty called him 10 Washington and so the acceptance came as a suprise to the country, and perhaps if the truth were known. as just as much of surprise to President Taft
 If the presidents policies are en acted into law and the people finally commend his endeavors, it seems that in the ordinary course of political events he will be named by his party to succeed himself; but if something approaching failure to progress should mark the present admnistra tion's course. 1t Is conceivable that the party may turn elsewhere for candidate Of course there is the second elective term" for Theodore Roosevelt to be considered. and while nothing is known definitely of the former presidents mental attitude to ward any plan which there may be to renominate him. 1t is thought by good many Republicans that under no circumstances will the colonel con sent to have his name go before the Republican convention.

ROAD IS
 CAUSE FOR REJOICING
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

(From Wednesdays Daily.)
 Wagon communication with the Santa Maria district has been opened from Hillside, on the Santa Fe, Pres colt & Phoenix railway, and the min ing people there are rejoicing.
 The road is practically rebuilt, and hardly a day passes but what freight teams are not seen going in and com ing out. The last shipment of the mill and other machinery for the Boyd mines will leave that place this morning, after being held up since early last December.
 Mr. Boyd, who was in Prescott yes terday, states that he is well pleased with the new road and comments the work done by Frank Ragan, who is an experienced man, and has worked energetically on the route. The mill that has reached its destination is of the old line in construction, and is equipped with ten stamps.
 The intention is to have it running by the first of the coming month, and a heavy tonnage of ore is available, 1.5OO tons being on the dump, with thousands of tons in the mine ready for stOping. Mine work progresses satisfactorily and the owner feels elated over the showing made at all points opened. The group is known as the Neiman mines, and in past years was extensively exploited, and from which heavy shipments were made, resulting in handsome returns.
 The ores are free milling in char acter, and samples taken from late development are of the richest ever seen in that section. In order to rush the mill. work all employees are working overtime during the night, and the twenty odd miners employed give the camp a lively appearance.
 Mr Boyd is arranging for telephone communication to this city, which is needed, as it is over twenty miles from the railroad to his camp. It will serve the purpose of others near by in commercial or other channels that may be needed. A. R. White is the superintendent of the Boyd mines, while Henry Braun will have charge of the mining facilities.
 This is one of the healthy mining

The body of the late ex-Governor Lewis Wolfley, whose death occurred in Los Angeles, following fatal in juries in a street ear accident, will be brought to Prescott for burial. A telegram to the effect was received yesterday from NJ. E. Spaulding, who was called to that city in connection with the passing away of the de- ceased.
 MT. Spaulding wires that it was the last request of ex-Governor Wolf ley that he be laid away in this city, and this will be complied with to the strictest regard. After the aeci. dent, Governor Wolfley realized the critical character of his injuries, in which he made disposition of his in terests. He lapsed into an uncon-
