Railroads TO Slot Machines.

Railroads TO Slot Machines.
Dr. ID. $. Freeman. the technical
member of the State Tax Commssio
regards the hearings held by him at
Suffolk. Norfolk and Portsmouth Oh
Thursday, Friday and Saturday of last
week. as highly valuable and inter-
csting.
At Suffolk lie received protest
from the Farmers Bank of Nanse-
mond, which is paying total tax rate
of sI.o7 on the 500 of capital sur
plus and profits, which its officers re-
gard as too high. Congressman elect
IL. z. Holland appeared for tho bank
The new city of Suffolk also APP
peared, with an inquiry as to It's real
estate assessment. 1t seems that the
new valuation is entirely too low, and
1t is doubtful IL the tax returns will
meet the budget DR.. Freeman in
formed the officials that a general as
sessment was impossible. referring
them to chapter $50 of the Acts of
1910 for information as to raising tho
valuation In individual cases.
In Norfolk two meetings were held
Practically all the city officials and
many members of the City Council
were present at tho first There was
an inquiry as to whether II was legal
to grant new industries lower rats
OF taxation than that paid by tho
public. to induce them to locate They
were told this could not be done I'M
der the Constitution. but that 1t might
be adjusted by anneNing property to
the city and providing a lower rate at
the time OF annexation. and allowing
industries to locate on such land.
HID No Kick After All.
Colonel Walter II. Taylor and Nc
Donald l. Wrenn appeared and ask
ed for reduction on the taxes on
banks. When shown they had the
lowest hank rate OF any city in tho
State. they thought better OF 1t.
The Real Estate Owners Protective
Association asked for an increase in
the rate on intangible personal prop
erty, which in Norfolk is only so
cents for the city, thinking this would
result In a reduction on the real estate
rate.
DR.. Freeman told the Norfolk PEG
pie they are suffering from an unfav-
orable through freight rate. Some of
them didn't believe 1t.
Major j. Davis Reed, of Portsmouth,
presented q brief when DR.. Freeman
visited that city. covering great
many points. He had kick because
the State Corporation Commission had
fixed what he regarded as too low an
assessment on railroad property there
He also wanted a prohibitory tax on
pound nets.
All subjects were tackled from rail
roads to 1-cent vending machines.

The bill provides the sale, delivery, or disposition in the state of any goods by trusts or corporations prohibited shall not be deemed a carrying out of a conspiracy un- the act. Representative Grant made an eloquent speech against the bill, seeking to amend it by referring it to the people. He de clared that it was drawn by some scoundrel who was an adapt in taking care of the trust, and that the people would arise en masse should the General Assembly uare enact Sucn a law. lie assert ed that the Arkansas Retail Hardware Dealers Association Is back of it and had attempted to run it over the Legislature" |" The discussion lcontinued until 5:30 o'clock, the latest of any Ses- sion yet, without reaching a de- cision, and the House then took a recess until 7:30 when the first night session was held.

ARKANSAS LEGISLATURE

Little Rock, April 26.-T h e Legislature was in a slauhgter, ing mood Tuesday and the Bill killer did some very effective work in both houses.
 The most notable act was the defeat of the last chance for the enactment of a law permitting cities of the state, especially Ft Smith and Texarkana, to vote on the question of the commission form of government. The Holland bill, which had passed the Senate had long been foredoomed to de. feat in the House, and the recent visit of of 150 members of the Ft. Smith Chamber of Commerce demanding it's passage, did not help it any. The Sebastian dele gation made a hard but losing fight for it. Numerous amend ments strengthening the bill were offered by them, while en- emies of the bill offered amend ments that sought to cripple it. It was amended to make it a general bill. and then amended to make it apply to Sebastian and Miller counties. Immediately after the noon recess Tuesday, Barker of Drew moved to amend by striking out the enacting clause, which Hurst of Washing ton made more specific.
 During the debate on the ques- tion, the subject of Mr. Parker's Democracy was brought into question, and he was asked if he had not once been the Populist nominee for governor. He replied that he was, but that he had been a Democrat from the cradle up, and that even when the Populist nominee, he was a better Demo crat than many of those who op- posed him. He declared that he was one of the authors of the Ocala platform of the Populist party from which the Democratic party had taken many of its prin cipals, and asserted that Pop ulism means Democracy. He de- clared that he therefore opposed the bill in toto, and wanted to see it die an unrighteous death. It was finally settled by motion to adopt the Hurst amendment, which prevailed, and the behead- ed bill took it's place on the calen dar whence it will never be re- called. The vote on this amend .ment was 40 to 37.
