 cationai Bureau

The letters are being considered by the board of trade directors, but, ac- cording to the opinion of George R. Brown, the secretary, the local organi. zation will express a willingness to cooperate in the movement, but not to lead in the undertaking. The reas. on given Is that the board of trade is a commercial organization, and 1t is not in it's province to lead in political issues, although it's influence may be extended to state measures in the in. terest of business men.

DONAGHEY FAvORS;
 NORW00D OPPOSES
State Officials Discuss the New Revenue Bill at DardaneIIe
 on Monday.
NOT FORMAL JOINT DEBATE
Governor Donaghey Had Made an Ap. pointment to Discuss the Bill
 and Norwood to Oppose 1t.

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 10 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 a discussion of the work of the tax commission and de clared that he favored the commits. sion before he was inagurlted and that it had done much in the interest of the people.
 Governor Donaghey pointed out that there are objections to the bill on the ground that it is unconstitutional, and declared that this is tha usual method of procedure when there is no other ground upon which q meas ure may be opposed
 He pointed to the Fort Smith Trac- ton Company case, in which the as- sessment was raised by the commits sion, and to the Little Rock Railway & Electric Company, the assessment on which the commission endeavored to raise to s2.000.000, which he said, is just one-half the value of the prop erty. He said the company had it's hny sof 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- tutlcnality of the measure heavily
 am opposed to this biil,' said Mir. Norwood, flor those three reasons the governor declares to be paramount. The placing of the equalizing of taxa ton, the collecting of back taxes and the placing of nontaxpayers' cases ab- soluteIy in the hands of this tax com mission absolutely centralizes the pow CT in their hands. The governor says that a few years of the present sys- tenn Will reduce the people to poverty, Yet In his opening statement he stated that the present system had been in 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-Jacobson bill, what is it's use? We need no fur ther tax laws
 Both officials were given close at tention and frequently applauded. There was no formal debate, the gov ernor was merely filling a previous appointment and the attorney general came along to present the side of the opposition.

gets a superior quality of feed over

where the leaves are stripped there is
