THE QUORUM COURT
Ius,ices of the Peace From All Over Polk County in Session at
 Court House Today.

Monday was the date for the annual meeting of the Polk County Quorum Court.
 This is the tax levying court to pro vide the county revenue and is com Dosed of all the justices of the peace ofthe county. There was a large per cent of the members present.
 Owing to the sickness of Judge Pickett, W. Nj. Darwin, justice of the Deace from Ozark township, was elect ed to presiie over the court.
 Outside of the usual routine of busi- ness ,levying the same taxes,4 3-4 mills for general purpose, and IA mill for U. S. judgment, one of the most important steps taken was the mak- ing of an appropriation of $500 to aid in government demonstration work.
 As the result of an effort made by Esquire Sam Smith a motion was passed Monday morning to place tax of siO for each exhibit of moving pie ture shows, Such a prohibitive tax caused considerable comment among some of the town people who heard oft.
 After dinner City Attorney Lundy went before the court and read a section of the law showing such places of amusement were under the control of the city, and others referred to the sssssdd standing Of the shows that have been in Mena. As a result the Quo rum Court rescinded the action taken in the morning by an almost unanimous vote.
 BC Davis was reelected as coun- ty road commissioner.
 The following justices were present:
 M. D. rHed, DIE fOTk.
