SAYS REVENUE ACT
 IS NOT EFFECTIVE
Pulaski County Assessor Re. fuses to Recognize the
 Tax Commission.
VHE LATTER Will BRING SUIT
Legality of the TUner-Jacobson Act Will Be Given the First
 Test.

Little Roek-The first step to test the legality of the Turner-Jacobson revenue act. passed during the special session of the legislature. has been taken by the state tax commission. The commission, as provided by the revenue act, certified to County As sessor Moore the assessments of tho three public utility corporations of the city, the street railway company, gas and water companies. The as easements fixed by the tax commis. sion are from two to four times larger than the assessments fixed by the assessor. Assessor Moore declin- ed to recognize the authority of the tax commission, claiming that the Turner-Jacobson act is not yet ef. feetive and will not be In force until September 8, or until after the refer. endum vote is taken by the people of the state in the event it is referred, which now seems probable.
 The tax commission has filed suit in the ehaneery court to settle the dispute The commissioners claim that the act Is effective now because the legislative enabling act putting the initiative and referendum amendment to the state constitution in force was not approved by the governor until after the governor had signed the Turner-Jacobson revenue bill.
 Prior to the passage of the revenue bill the assessor was required to fix 1 the valuation of the public untility corporations.

He fingered about an hour before he died. Frisbie had been giving exhibitions at Elmore park for several days. His machine acted bad ly, and he had a fall of about 40 feet, but beyond bruises and 2 shak- ing up was not injured. He was skeptical about the ability of his ma chine to stand another flight today, and announced he would not take to the air, but when this statement was communicated to the crowd, there was an angry demonstration. The specta- tors hooted and shouted, 'faker," and refused to listen to explanations. Fris- bic announced that, rather than have the big crowd go away with the im- pression that he was not willing to do his best, he would attempt a flight. He ascended from the track without difficulty. and attained height of 100 feet but in attempting to make a turn the plane tipped, and Frisbie lost control. As he came crashing to earth, the spectators could see the aviator trying 10 right the machine
 but as ii approached the ground one of the wings crashed into barn and the biplane. slancing off. struck the earth. with Frisbie underneath.
