Who is Liable For Road Duty

In answer to an inquiry as to who IS exempt from road duty, C. A. Fuller, prosecuting attorney of this judicial district. has rendered the following opinion:
 Tn reply to inquiry of recent date as to who is exempt from road work on account of physical disability beg to advise that all male persons between the ages of 21 and b are subject to four days road work under the Road Tax Law, except those who are physi- cally disabled
 Section 7226 of Kirby's Digest pro- vides that "all persons who are unable to perform labor by reason of physical debility shall be exempted from work ing on any road. This does not mean one must be unable to perform manual labor by using the pick and shovel If this were the law most professional men, clerks, merchants. etc, would be exempt It means that if one is physi- cally able to do any kind of labor make living, etc, he is subject to work on the road. The law contem- plates that many men are unable to perform manual labor, though subject to road work, and provides that if they do not desire to do the real work that they can pay one dollar day for the time they should work.
 Simply because one has lost an eye, finger, or has been injured in other respects, or afflicted by some disease does not exempt him fl he is now phys ically able to work as a clerk, book keeper, or follow any calling or profes- sion.
 Doctors certificates are easily ob- tained and do not exempt men. If you find men between the ages of 21 and 45 who are physically able to perform labor you should require them to pay or work You should use your own judgment to a great extent in ascer- taining as to whether or not they are disabled under the law.

New Plan of Assessment.

That the basis of taxation on proper ty in Arkansas be fixed at the actual value of the property instead of cer- tain per cent of it and that the rate be cut down in the proper proportion to equalize the revenue, if not to lower it, is the embodiment of a bill that has been prepared for presentation to the next Arkansas legislature and which was explained in full to the Arkansas County Assessors Association, in ses- sion at the Pulaski county courthouse yesterday afternoon by David A. Gates of the State Tax Commission.
 The afternoon session was devoted especially to the hearing of Mr. Gates address on the subject of the proposed bill to change the basis of taxation in the state of Arkansas The bill has already been prepared. It's purpose is to simplify the work of the assessors and give a better impression to the outside world.
 1 The idea of the proposed new measure is to assess the property at it's full valuation, thus giving to the public the real value of Arkansas prop erty and at the same time to reduce the rate from what it has been to half or less than half the amount, so that , the tax vote will appear to be about half or less than half what it has been.
 For instance, property in Arkansas is now beng assessed at 50 per cent of it's value at the rate of 27 mills on the dollar. Under the proposed bill it would be assessed at its full value at about 13 mills on the dollar. The assessors agreed that if the Tax Com mission would guarantee that this ar rangement would be made, they would favor the measure. One of the results would be that the taxable value of Ar kansas property would be published abroad at twice the figure it is now, while the rate of taxation would be known at about half what it is now.
 If the Tax Commission presents it's bill to the legislature in the form pre- sented to the Assessors Association yesterday by MT. Gates, there will be no fight made on it, even if there is no actual support given to it by the assess OrS.

SUNDAY SCHOOLS IMPROVING
New Year Starts Out With Good At. tendance and Promise of Still
 Larger Numbers.

The New Year starts off very en- couragingly for the Sunday School workers of Green Forest. Supt. Back us tells us that the total present at the Methodist school last Sunday was los. At the Baptist an attendance of 50 is reported, which is the largest number present there for long while
 Nothing speaks better for the moral atmosphere of town than the mani festation of interest in Sunday Schools and other religious gatherings. If the Sunday Schools are good, it necessarily follows that other interests are not neglected.
 People, church members especially who are so indifferent to Sunday School as to permit their children to remain out of it when opportunities are afford ed them, are indeed "poor sticks" ir the cause of Christianity. The cause in fact, would be better off without them.
 The Tribune believes that 1911 is going to show great improvement along Sunday School lines in Greer Forest. Indications certainly point ir that direction at the present time.

NoTwITHsTANDGNG the fatalities among ayiators lately there appear plenty of candidates to take their places. The renown and profit in the business makes them willing to take the great risks in trying to conquer the air. The flying machines have come to stay, and the great number of acci- dents will in time be more or less elim- mated as the makers understand the requirements. There were just as many doubters over the success of the locomotive and the automobile as at the present time over the flying machines.

To the Average juryman all corporation treas ures are brimming with weath, and it is no trouble for one of the clerks to fill up check for a good round sum afor the plaintiff, who has been injured as result of his own neglect.

Sample Helps

So many women are dragging out weary lives just because their digcs- tive organs are weak. The result is poor circulation, nervousness and the verge of invalidisnl. It is often very unnecessary and the woman's own fault.
 The first thing, to do is to look to the welfare of, your bowels. There the trou- ble usually lies. All physicians know that large percentage of women are ha9ltually constipated. and from this re- sultS indigestion, piles, WearinesS. etc. that women constantly complain of But there is no use taking "felnaie rem edies" and things of that kind until you nave started your bowels to moving. You will find that when the bowels move regularly once or twice a day all your petty ills will disappear. Take a good mild laxative tonic like Dr. Caldwell's syrup Pepsin for awhile and you will md yourself rapidly getting better and stronger. your bowels will regulate them- selves and work at stated times, and then your headaches and diz2iness will disappear. Don't take strong cathartic pills or salts, but just such a mid and BleasanG-tasting remedy as Dr. Caldwell'a a Syrup Pepsin.
 You can obtain a bottle of your drug gist for fifty cents or one dollar, and either size may be enough to perrna- nently cure you. Thousands of women keep it regularly in the house and will no longer be without it. as it cured them and can he used with safety by every member of the family down to the youngest child but if you have never used it take the advice of Mrs Earl g.. Cox. 409 TWentv-fifth street. Moline nl., and Mrs. Ellen Dungan, Muncie, Ind, and send to Dr. Caldwell for a free trial bot tie. as they did, and learn for yourself what it will do in your own case That 1t will cure you, as it did them. there is no doubt.
 Dr. Caldwell personally will be pleased to give. you any medical advice you may desire for yourself or family pertaining to free of charge Explain your case in q letter and he will reply to you in detail For the free sample simply send your name and address on q postal card or otherwise For either request the doctors address is pr.
