Mining Activities.

Judge D. w. Cave, of Zinc, who
was TIMES visitor Thursday, gave
us to understand that mining activi-
ties in the Sugar Orchard district are
more than encouraging this spring
At the Coker Hollow, which Mr.
Cave controls, and where the lack of
water supply has held the mill up
for some time, operations will begin
again next week under improv, d
conditions generally. The water
question has been solved by pipe
lines from the mine itself, and the
mil will be under the direction of A.
w. Onstott, an experience mill fore
man, who comes from Joplin, conf
dent after an examine ton, that the
mine can easily be made a big divi-
dend payer now from the outset.
A we'll posted visitor to the Coker
Hollow last week saws its shaft and
tunnels have the finest showing of
zinc ore he has ever examined, and
that similar mine in southwest
Missouri would easily sell for a hun
dred thousand.
Other mines of this same vicinity,
the Tar Kiln, Madison and Govern
or Eagle are all working large forces
Of men with a view to making their
production of the coming summer
something worth while.
Similar reports of returning vital
ity come from the several districts of
the Arkansas field, and we have
hopes that 1911 is to see many of
our new properties becoming pro-
ducers in the broadest sense of the
term.

High School 0peretta.

On Friday and Saturday nights
of last week the Harrison High
School Band covered itself with new
glory and raked in something like
SO by the performance OF a splen-
did little operetta entitled Pas,
quita, a romance Of the Philip
pines. y
The solos by leading parts were
all we'll rendered and the choruseS,
which included a cCterie of sixteen
Philippine maidenS, soldiers, ma
tives, etc, besides the band and or.
chestra, fairly shook the roof, and
were pronounced by our best musi-
cal critics the most pretentlOuS of
their kind ever listened to in Har-
riSon.
We congratulate the High School
Band on its first effort, and sin
cerely hope it will be able to gather
sufficient funds to 60 to Little Rock
to the contests of Arkansas High
Schools in April, and demonstrate
that Harrison has one Of the best
and most up-to-date schools of the
state.

NUMBER 81.

man of the Arkansas Tax Commis-
sion. He is the author of the Hurst
Bradham bill which proposes a com
plete revision of the revenue system
of the state After the bill had been
introduced providing a maximum
of assessment and a minimum OF
taxation, the question arose, what
will be the effect on the states rev.
onues if the assessment does not
prove to be so large as calculated
To meet this emergency, he hit upon
the happy device of sliding scale
of tax levy, ranging from 4 mills for
a maximum of S75O,OOO,OOO, to
about , mills for general state pur-
poses on maximum of 81 $50, ,O00,-
600 This sliding scale applies to
all taxes, state, county, school and
municipal, the rate automatically
decreasing as the assessment in
creaseS 1t is estimated that the
rate i'll Little L, ok, for instance, for
all purposes would not exceed 9
mills, whereas it is now from p to
80 mills The present assessment
of $3.50, 100000 is so ridicuously
low that it places the state in a
false light before the world,
The new law, which seems assured
of passage, will put the tax system
of the state on a hrmer and more
equitable basis than ever before,
and insure more revenue for the
state. 1T will catch the tax-dod-
ger said Mr. Gates, "as it will
give every man an interest in seeing
that his neighbor is properly assess
ed, as the higher the aggregate as
sessmeut the lower the rate will be-"
Never before has there been
more general interest in the move
ment for the beautifying of the city,
and making it what it was years
ago, truly a City of Roses The
movement was started on behalf of
the approaching Confederate Re-
Union, and March 9-10 were OBJ
served as rose days. Thousands OF
roses were planted all over the city,
and by the middle of May the wards
and borders of the city should be a
mass Of bloom The City Beauti-
full Association has been organized
for the purpose of cleaning the city
and planting roses, and the citizens
are cooperating with an earnest
ness that is most commendable.

Socialist Lecture.

An unusually large audience of
Harrison best people assembled at
the Court House TueSday evening
to listen to the lecture on Socialism
BY Lena Morrow Lewis, of Chicago,
who is travelling under the auspices
of the National Socialist organiza-
ton. While our people generally do
not subscribe to this line of thought,
they have the HIGHEST respect for the
few here who do, and are always
ready to enjoy discussion of eco
nomic questions by competent
spe kers. In this case they were
not disappointed, for Miss Lewis
easily demonstrated her ability,
both as a speaker and as an advo-
cate of the Socialist cause,
For nearly two hours she dis
cussed economic conditions without
bitterness or abuse of those whose
views were at variance with her
own. Being idealists, the Socialists
are much better at drawingpictures,
both of bad conditions now and
better things for the future, than
they are in suggesting immediate
practical remedies; but, as has usu-
ally been the case with reform par
ties in the past, there is much in
their doctrine worth considering.
1t will be remembered THAI the
much abused Populist party, long
since laid on the shelf, originated
many political reforms now popular
in both Of the leading parties; and it
is quite likely that the Socialists
will do as much for us in the future.

The Great American Play "Paid In Full. +"

Paid in Full, - The United Play
Company's new production will

play
after all, if the play is really the
thing, then there's new thing in
town, It's called Paid in Full by
Eugene Walter; it has taken anchor
at the Astor Theatre and there it
is going to remain for an indefinite
period. Paid in Full scored an
immense success last night, one of
the sensational successes of the sea-
son. Its boldness, its simplicity
and its originality all told in its ia
vor. Here at least was a Young
American playwright brave enough
TO dramatic a Harlem flat and its
occupants; he has taken his theme
right out of every day life on the
upper West side and played his dra-
matte cards so well that he held
his blaze first night audience in his
hand and not only interested them
intensely, but gave them in one act
both a great surprise and a real

BUSINESS AND THE CHURCH

should the church have a sal
aried business management" The
Brookly Eagle prints an article
from a correspondent who is OF opin
ion that there should be an affirm
alive answer 10 this query. The
wonderful success OF the Christian
Science Church Is cited TO support
this contention. That church. he
asserts. has been managed as a bus
mess proposition and has grown and
prospered TO a tremendous extent.
The church is a e-paying and
property-Owning organization. II
takes upon itself Just such oDllga-
lions as devolve upon commercial
enterprises. II is subject to the
same embarrassments. The cores
pendent OF the Eagle thinks that
there must be business management
in connection with the church al
fairs Just as there il in connection
with "A store or a factory, II the in
stitutlon Is to flourish. Zeal. faith
and spirituality all fall before NAL
administration" he says. especial
~ in this age when fervOr and re-
ligious ecstasy are less potent 10
arouse than in earlier times, when
there was less to interest and en-
gross mankind.
Commenting on this statement
the Savannah News rightfully says
The question is a big one. Every
church wants TO succeed. Every
preacher desires that his congrega-
ton shall be placed upon a firm
financial basis And IL may be
doubted that there are many preach
ers who have strong objections TO
comfortable salaries, paid on the
nail. There cannot be the slight
est objection to any great moral
and religious establishment being
run on business principles. Any
church that succeeds must have a
commercial side and commercial
head. under one term or the other.
That feature is suppressed. OF
course. yet it exists just as certain
~ as the church exists.
The spiritual side OF the church
Is dominant The material side
shows only the actual business man
agement. II should be the best
obtainable management. It should
advertise the fact that It is doing
the greatest work in all the world.
The wonder of il is that so many
churches are so successfully man
aged by busy men who necessarily
can spare little time to what Is by
force OF circumstances an avocaton
with them-church work. II man
who is engaged in business can III
such little time manage so well
church affairs and finances. what
might not be done by man who
could give his sole attention to the
welfare OF the church2-Times-Dis-
