ASKS PARDON OF REEDY VANCE
Penitentiary Board Requests Gov. Oonaghey to Consider His Case.

Little Rock.-The state penitentiary board has adopted a resolution ask ing Gov. Donaghey to consider the advisability of pardoning Reedy Vance on condition that he leave the state.

He was convicted of second degree murder for the killing of a Chinaman in restaurant ten years ago. It is said the trouble started over an order for bowl of soup by Vance.
 After serving six years of his term Vance was paroled. Two years later he was placed in custody again on a charge of having violated his parole. Strong efforts on the part of friends and relatives have been made since that time to secure his parole again, among the most persis- tent workers being a sister in Miss. issippi

State Officials Discuss the New Revenue Bill at DardanelIe
 on Monday.
NOT FORMAL JOINT DEBATE
Governor Donaohey Had Made an Ap. pointment to Discuss the Bill
 and Norwood to Oppose it.

Dardanelle.-There was large | crowd in Dardanelle Monday on ac- count of three attractions It was the opening day of court, the govern or was to defend the new revenue bill and the attorney general was to oppose it.
 Governor Donaghey was the first speaker and in his advocacy of the Turner-Jacobson bill declared that it would reduce taxes, and not raise them.
 He went into discussion of the work of the tax commission and de- clared that he favored the eommis- sion before he was inagurated and that 1t had done much in the interest of the people.
 Governor Donaghey pointed out that there are objections to the bill on the ground that 1t is unconstitutional, and declared that this is the usual method of procedure when there is no other ground upon which meas. ure may be opposed.
 He pointed to the Fort Smith Trac- ton Company case, in which the as- sessment was raised by the commis. sion, and to the Little Rock Railway & Electric Company, the assessment on which the commission endeavored to raise to $2,000,000, which he said, is just one-half the value of the prop erty. He said the company had it's friends, however, and that the people of the state lose thereby
 The governor pointed out several in. stances to illustrate the work and re- suits of the tax commission, and the need of this new revenue law.
 Following the governors address. Attorney General Norwood began his speech in opposition to the measure. He submitted figures to prove his contention and hammered the consti- tutionality of the measure heavily.
 '1 am opposed to this bill" said Mir. Norwood, flor those three reasons the governor declares to be paramount. The placing of the equalizing of taxa tion. the collecting of back taxes and the placing of nontaxpayers' cases ab- solutely in the hands of this tax com mission absolutely centralizes the pow CT in their hands. The governor says that few years of the present sy tenn will reduce the people to povert yet in his opening statement he state that the present system had been iu vogue for 90 years. Where is the logic to that?
 AS for the tax commission, if it can make the enormous increases he mentions without the Turner-Ja cobson bill, what Is it's use? We need no f;ssf: ther tax laws.'
 Both officials were given close at tention and frequently applauded There was no formal debate, the gov ernor was merely filling previous appointment and the attorney general came along to present the side of the opposition.

Illinois Central Strike Is Avertsd.

Chicago.-The strike threatened by shopmen of the Illinois Central has been ayerted.

"The House of the first Institution"
was the subject of the discourse Civ
en- by Rev. f.. w. Curtis, ID. ID. at
the Monday evening meeting of the
Church Erection and Home Mission
Board at the United Brethren church
The text was found in the S4 Psalm
and the first verse How amiuble
are the tabernacles Oh Lord Of
hosts" The speaker said in part
THE first institution Of religion was
the Ark. David was not content with
the tabernacle which was the first
abiding place of the ark, and he de-
termined to build a temple. A good
site was selected the materials. chos
an, ana then David went down into
his own pockets and from his own
private purse laid a great sum of
money on the altar for the erection of
the church. Religion To him was the
irst thing To him It was true ale
glance to God. | think of about three
lines of argument I'm favor of having
beautiful, comfortable places of wor-
ship. The first is in nature, the little
birds have their nests. the bees their
nives, the sheep their folds and the
parents with their children gather
each night around their hresde. all
these things show that q home Is
needed for religion. The second line
or argument Is that since the be-
ginning of time, man on Christian
or heather ground has provided a
beautiful place for worship. Go back
In history to Ancient Greece, and
the finest of the buildings there was
the temple of Athena and Diana.
Then, let us pass to Modern Europe.
Among its finest works of art are re
ligious paintings. It's finest buildings
those of worship. The third line
OF argument is that or Divine Sane
ton. When Moses went up into Mt
Sinai God gave him the plan Of
the tabernacle, and this tabernacle
was costly and beautiful and the plan
Of Jehovah. And don't YOU believe
that God wants his people today 20
build places of beauty and comfort
for worship. My friends the first in
stitution is the church Of God, and
God is the author and builder of II,
and the gates of He'll cannot prevail
against IT, The church of God is op
posed to everything that is evil. And
every man or woman who fills his
place among the laity can't possibly
be a failure.
