TAX COMMISSION
 PREPARES REPORT

Little Rock, Feb. 25.-The members and clerks of the state tax commission are now spending their time in the commission offices reading up on the various reports of other state tax commissions. The Alabama, Kansas and other tax commission reports are being carefully studied, not only for general pointers but also in view of the fact that the Arkansas commits sion will soon start on it's task of pre- pairing it's first biennial report for the state legislature.
 The task of gathering data on the real value of property in various counties of the state has been aban- doned for the present, but will be talk en up later. Thus far the work of the commission along that line is said to have been satisfactory At the com mission office yesterday figures were shown from one school district in a county proving that property Tn that district had not been assessed at any thing near its value. The commits sion has had no difficulty in obtaining the true figures from the residents of each locality.
 Every property owner we see and ask for figures on true property valu- ation in his locality, gives us the in formation, taking the stand that he is willing to be assessed at the true value of his property if the remainder of the property owners in his locality are treated likewise. And the fact that an increase in the stated value of their property will bring about a

THREE CANDIDATES FOR
 PRESIDENT OF SENATE

I.;..tle Rock, Feb. 25.-The race for the presidency of the next state sen ate promises to be spirited, and hold over senators are now sending letters to the newly elected senators and oth- CTS who will have seats in the next General Assembly, asking for support. J. H. Holland of Sebastian, R. K. Toney of Jefferson and J. R. Logan of Polk, are the three announced can didates, but others are expected to en- ter later. If the race should go through with but these three in the field, either Senator Holland or Sen ator Toney would probably drop out, one in favor of the other, and thus combine their strength against Sena- tor Logan, who was one of the strong est men in the last senate.

In former years the insurance companies have paid about $70,0O0 into the treasury annually, but this year there will probably not be this much, for so many of the companies report heavy losses during the year, which. made business in Arkansas unprofitable for them, and under the state laws the company making nothing does not have to pay taxes to the state. The time for the filing of annual state ments and the payment of annual dues ends March 1.

PREACHER MAY
 BE A CANDIDATE
(. M. FORD FOR SENATE?
CONWAY MINISTER SAYS HE WILL RUN UNDER GER
 TAIN CONDITIONS.

That Rev G. M. Ford, a Baptist minister of Conway, may become a candidate for state senator from the Twenty seventh district, in opposition to A. C. Martin, the Democratic nom inee for the position, was admitted by Mr. Ford in statement made to the Log Cabin Democrat this morning. MT. Ford says that he will early next week announce definitely whether or not he will be a candidate.
 My candidacy is altogether de- pendent upon certain conditons,' said MT. Ford, "and those conditions l do not care to state just at the pres ent."
 "It has been reported that you are to make the race on the prohibition ticket. Will you run as prohibition ist or as a Democrat?' Mr. Ford was asked.
 eff make the race at all, it will be as a Democrat, and within the rules and regulations of the Democratic party" was the reply. q may say, however, that prohibition will be the principal plank in my platform. :"
 Are you awaiting the action of the so-called senatorial committee at Fl Paso Monday to make your announce ment?" was another question.
 "That is one of the conditions,' an swered Mir. Ford, but there are oth- CTS. You may just say that if l be- come a candidate it will be within the Democratic party, and that my candi- dacy depends on conditions which are honorable and fair, but which 1 prefer not to announce at the present timex
 Another development in the sena torial situation today is the announce ment by several local Republicans that their party will place nominee in the field at the general election. It has been many years since the Republi- cans have had a candidate for this position, although they formerly sup ported the Populist nominee for this position on the fusion ticket. This was done when John P. H. Russ of Fl Paso was elected to the position in 1890.

PROBLEMS MANY YEARS OLD
Children of Today Puzzle Over Them
Just as They Did a Thousand
Years Ago.

When King Alfred the Great was
reigning over England, a thousand
years ago. school children pondered

our boys and girls do now
Here are two taken word for word
from a lesson book of that day:
THE swallow once invited the snail
to dinner. He lived just one league
(three English miles) from the spot,
and the snail travelled at the rate of
only one inch a day. How long
would it be before he dined?"
IAN old man met a child. Good
day, my son. he said. May you live
as long as you have lived, and as
much more, and thrice as much as all
this; and If God gives you one year
in addition to the others, you will be
a century old!' What was that boys
age?"-The Comrade.
