farmer. who BY reason of the tangi-
bilitv of his property is already COM
PEELED to pay more than fair share
of the taxes, in that the bill changes
the time for listing property from
June to February / This would
require the assessment of all farm
products undisposed OF, and would
be an incentive to early marketing,
already the banc of the Southern
farmer.
Continuing. Mr. Robinson points
out that the bill is unconstitutional
in that provision which gives to the
county levying court power TO as
sess a rate which will produce the
amount of last years taxes plus ten
percent Since the court is limited
to FIVE mills.
He is emphatic in his declaration
that the measure should be referred
to the people insisting that if there
ever was a measure that should be
voted on by the people, it is this
measure revising our whole system
of taxation.
His discussion of the maintenance
of our state indebtedness reveals a
close study of economies and social
questions He is especially ardent
in his plea for letter system Of
management for the penitentiary.
He holds to the opinion that our
penal institutions should be more
than places of punishment and
schools of crime. He believes that it
is possible to inaugurate a system
which will help to reform the crimi-
nal, thus benehtting society. He
thinks that profit should not be the
sole object of the State in handling
criminals
The reforms advocated by him in
other departments of State govern
ment are not less progressive and
have received much favorable COM
ment. His plan, as outlined with
reference to a general system of
good roads, is exceedingly practical,
while a review of his attitude tow
ard other subjects of vital import
ance to the state, shows a progress
i've program which his past record
would indicate his ability to exc
cute.
experimenting his knowledge Of
constitutional law and his broad
understanding Of economic ques-
tons, Mr.. Robinson has definite
plan for carrying out proposed re-
forms His character is above re-
proach. And if elected Governor,
he will enter that high office uutram-
meled by individual or corporate in
huence, and with an honest determi-
nation to serve the best interests of
the people.

State Tax Lazy 9 rs Mis-.

Our county clerk has received
from the State Auditor notice that,
pursuant to acts of the General As

rates of taxation for state purposes
muStbe levied against the assessed
values for the year 1911, to.wit

Common schools, 9 mills on the
dollar.
Sinking fund, -Smill on the dollar

lar.
This will make the total state
levy 6 rs mills. The sinking fund,
which is Is mill, and which had
been withdrawn, has been replaced
this year. The sum Of 500, 900 was
borrowed from the sinking fund the
first part of the year to pay the ex-
penses of the legislature, but the in
terest on the school bonds have been
paid from the general revenue fund
for the sinking fund, which is equiv
alent to returning about $50, 700 of

$50, 900 Mining Deal.
Parties Examine Boone County Mine.
Revival of Mining Interest.

d. M. Woulte, a geologist from
New York City, and J. I. Smith, of
this place, left last Wednesday for
Harrison to examine a zinc mine
north from that city with view of
purchase. Both Mr.. Wuolie and Mr..
Smith were very reticent regarding
giving information concerning the
property to be examined except that
it was considered one of the best
properties in Boone county and that
it would require $4,000 to swing
the deal.
Mr.. Woulfe comes as the expert of
some New York capitalists who are
convinced that there are great pos
sibiities in the North Arkansas Zinc
fields. In speaking Of the outlook
for mining development there, Mr..
Wolfe said: 81 see no reason why
this should not be a mining country.
The formation is very interesting
and gives promise Of producing
something valuable This field has
been apparently overlooked. What
is needed is capital and experienced
men, look for a revival of interest
in the mining business this year and
see no reason why capital should
not be directed here. "
Mr.. Wolfe excused himself from
giving detail information concerning
the mine he expected to examine on
the grounds that his business was
of a confidential nature. Eureka

Some complaint has come re-
garding the giving of half the road
in case of an autom obile coming up
behind a team. The parties claim
that when they come up behind
fellow with a team he stubbornly
refuses to give any of the road, no
matter if there is plenty of room to
turn out. Now the law recognizes
the rights of both the man with
the team and the man with
the auto, and these rights should
be respected, There are plenty
of men who are running au-
tos who should be driving OK teams
and vice versa, but all men should
not be treated that way. The law
saws that when a man is overtaken
by faster vehicle, the man driving
the slower vehicle shall turn out and
give half the beaten path.
