 not much in favor of going as th9
 basketball season is over and the
 boys have no. been pracsicing much
 since the big three team tournmeEt
 several weeks ago. The members
 of the team were anxious to go and the coach agreed. as he has little doubt as 70 .he ability of his boys to win the majority if not all of the games.
 The vapor Valley boys are about the same weight as the local baske-- eers and are said to be very fas-. Coach Wilson will endeavor 70 have Hans Wagner. who is now in Hot Springs with the Pittsburg team, referee the game.

pie met, and I told them that Doaa- ghey had sent his commission 10 raise our taxes. The commissioners salo they were insulted. Gates said he had quit good job paving him sS9o per month and took the icb as con- missioner at S200 per month just ee- cause he loved Arkansas so much, and Brown said he did not know whether the law he was acting under was constitutional, still he was gong to raise the taxes by raising the as sessments,' and this Donaghey com mission said they were going from Conway and raise the assessment on six other counties; that they were going right from Conway and raise these other counties. All Of which was false, for they returned to Little Rock and raised the assessment Of Faulkner county, and failed to raise any other county in the state. Why did Donaghev have Faulkner county raised, and no other county ln the state?. I answer for two reasons: First. he owns now 9,269.11 in Fauik- ner county warrants and wanted tho taxes raised so as to pay off and re- deem his script; second, because he is playing politics by saying to the other counties, see what a just man am. I raised my own people be- cause it was right.
 Donaghey says he is the father Of the T-J. bill. which is law to raise our taxes. That man Gates, one Of the tax commissioners, said in his speech that he got up the T.-J. bill for Donaghey.
 The whole law is very drastic, but take that proposed law from section 8 to 100 and you will see that it was conceived in iniquity for the sole purpose to rob the poor and honest taxpayers It allows the state tax commissioners to raise in the aggre- gate the assessment of all the property of all the taxpayers of the state and allows them to reduce the taxes of each party separately upon his, her or it's application. Now, there are at
 
 and only about 20 days given under the law to apply to this tax commis- sion to reduce the assessments. Each party will have to make application and the poor and honest taxpayers can't go to the expense, as it will cost lawyers fee and other expenses to the amount of at least $50, and then this commission could not hear more than 100 applications to reduce the as- sessments within the time given. So the honest man will find it cheaper to pay the taxes, but the rich corpora tion and rich men, like Mir. Donaghey, who ought to pay thousands of dollars in taxes, can afford to pay the at- torney's fee and expenses. But, as matter of fact, these large taxpayers will go before the state tax commis- sion and get their taxes reduced. I have no confidence in a man that says he loves the state of Arkansas so well that he gave up job of $500 per month and took one for the state at s200 per month just to help the state out"
 What has Mir. Donaghey done since he has been governor except play politics, run the state in debt and raise our taxes?
 We are at this time paying in Con- way about s4 on the s1o0 taxes. and more coming. Now, on top of this give us the T.-J. bill, which will double our assessment, and then an honest man can't exist. Tell the truth" P. H. Prince.

Judge Prince Stands by Ills Statement

Judge Prince Stands by Ills Statement
 In a statement published in the Ark ansas Farmer February 26, 1912, Judge Prince said
 Governor Donaghey's agent as sessed his personal property for 1910 at s10,00000 He had the S10,00o.00 taken off. leaving only a poll tax. that he paid in Faulkner county in 1911. and paid taxes on S1,520.0O in personal property in Pulaski county While he had s10,5l9.11 in Faulkner county war rants and other personal property at that time in Faulkner county. amount ing in all at least s50,00000.
 Governor Donaghey denied this statement in the Arkansas Gazette, and then Judge Prince made the fol- lowing statement:
 Editor Gazette:
 T notice in the Arkansas Gazette that Governor G. W. Donaghey says that my statements as to his tax-dodg- Ing Is substantially unture. He. says I juggle with the figures.
 q now offer to put up in the Faulk. ner County Bank. in which he is the largest stockholder, the sum of sl ,000, if he will put up sl.000, and If have not given the figures correctly and told the truth, as to his tax-dodging,' then he takes the money, and if I have told the truth, then his money goes to pay the washerwomen of the blind institute. and to the washer women of the insane asylum, whose appropriation he vetoed; or, if he pre- fers, the money shall be legitimately spent in behalf of statewide prohibi. tion.
 The governor had erased from the collectors personal tax record his per sonal assessment, and paid no personal taxes in 1914 for the year 1910, in Faulkner county, and if the said rec ord, page 72, does not show this to be true. then he can have the said money.
 Put up or bhut up, governor.

The Siren of Perpetual Motion
Man Still Longs Get Something Nothing Succeeds
Giving Something and Getting Nothing

r HAVE received a letter from an
intelligent man who is evidently
we'll educated, except in that
which for his present purpose he
should have known best of all-the
science Of physics. He has a lucra-
tive profession, and yet he tells me
that he has expended nearly all his
hard Won money in unsuccessful eff
forts to perfect perpetual motion
machine. He asks for advice. but
il is plain that he would scorn the
only advice l could give him, which
would be to either throw away his
machine at once or else to set it
aside until he has mastered the
laws Of mechanics, after which he
would be sure to throw it away
without waiting for advice.
Everybody who has the reputa-
ton of being a scientist" soon be-
comes painfully aware Of the multi
tude Of the worshipers of this siren
OF perpetual motion. They are CON
tinually asking for advice-and
never taking it. They are like fool
ish, ignorant little fish that can not
be dissuaded from swallowing a
tempting bait, which all wise fish
nave known for generations to be
only a deadly lure.
But l shall. perhaps. be asked. as
some of these same misled invent
ors have already asked me, why
do you. who have said SO much to
encourage invention. now denounce
this particular form of it as i'm
possible?"
Wen, l do not denounce it as inn
possible,
l say simply that it is only pos
sible in case the whole basis Of ex-
listing science can first be over
turned 1t flies in the face of the
great principle of the conservation
of energy which, being interpreted,
means that you can not get some
thing for nothing, and that what
you receive, in mechanics. can
never be more than the exact equiv
alent OF what you give.
Let us illustrate this by some ex-
amples
When a steam engine runs It uses
energy which has been brought to 1t
in another form. In the first place,
there is the coal which is burnt.
Millions of years ago when that
coal was in the form of growing
plants, it had energy stored up in
IT, 1t was energy in the form Of
chemical combination. exercised
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1912-07-30
By GARRETT P. SERVISS

through the influence of the suns
rays The sun had to pay, dollar
for dollar, for all that stored en-
ergy The suns pocket is the poor
er for every lump of coal on the
earth. We put the coal in a fur
mace and set it on fire. The locked
up energy is brought out in the
form of heat The heat passes into
the water in the boiler and inspires
its molecules with unwonted mo-
ton. They yibrate more and more
violently until they are torn asun-
der, and the water is turned into
steam. The pressure of the ex-
panding steam acts against the pis-
ton, and the wheels of the engine
turn. You could not make the en-
gine go by whistltng to it, or by
making cabalistic signs over it. The
one essential thing is to supply it
with energy In a form which it can
use. You have borrowed that en-
ergy directly from the coal, and I'LL
timately from the sun.
When a trolley car speeds along
the track it goes by virtue of the
electric energy which is flowing
through the wire overhead That
energy comes from a great dynamo,
which is spinning far away, and the
dynamo .borrows its energy either
from an engine, which takes it from
coal burning under a boiler, or from
a motor set in motion by water fall
ing from a height The dynamo
turns the energy it receives into an
electric current, in order that it
may be readily delivered. through
a wire to the place where it is to be
utilized The trolley takes the cleo
trio energy from the wire and de-
llvers ii to the motor on the car,
and that turns it back again into
mechanical energy. which drives
the wheels 1t is an endless chain
Of give and take. But there is
always a loss in the process, At
the end Of it you can not get back
all the nergy originally expended.
II is like the traveller changing his
money as he goes from country to
country. Every time he changes
dollars into francs, and francs into
marks, and marks into forms, and :
forms into liras, and liras into
pesetas. the banks take out their
commission But the commissions
demanded by human machinery,
turning energy into its various
forms, are SO exorbitant that if the
same rates prevailed in money mat
tiers the bankers would soon have

everything and the public nothing.
The best steam engine does not de-
liver, in the form of work. more
than a third of the energy derived
from the burning coal.
Now, the idea of the perpetual
motion inventors is that they can
devise a machine which will cheat
nature of its commissions. They
expect to set the machine going,
and then see it go on forever with
out supplying it with any energy
to keep it in action. There have
been such machines which worked
for a time, but. invariably, after
while, they fail, and, also invaria-
bly,, it has been found that while
they did work they were obeying
the law of the conservation of en-
ergy, so that they were not really
perpetual motion machines at all.
Mr. Phin in his Seven Follies of
Science" has described a number
of these devices. about which you
might read with profit
Remember. the principle is sim
ply this: There is a fixed amount
of energy available in nature Prob
ably there is ten times, or a hun
dred times, as much energy within
our reach as we have ever utilized.
That is for the future to determine.
But. in any case, while we can
turn the energies of nature into
multitude of different forms. we
can not add to their sum. If we
take with one hand we must give
with the other. The capital is In
variable, and nature pays no in
terest
Now this principle rests on hu-
man experience. No departure from
it has ever been observed. Still, a
philosopher must admit that we
do not know everything, and that
even experience may mislead. Our
time is very short and our powers
are very limited 1t is within the
range of possibility that there is
some other law In nature which we
have not discovered and which.
when discovered, will upset our
present science. If you believe
that you can discover this revolu-
tionary law, don't undertake the
job without first educating your
self in all that is already known, or
believed to be known. Then ask
nobody's advice, but go ahead.
But, before you begin, get to-
gether ten million. or. better, a
hundred million dollars to pay for
your experiments. and to insure
yourself against the danger of i'm
poverishing your family and end
ing in the poor house,

The Spice of 1t
BY JAMES RAVENsCRoFT.

NlTY folks to the country go
When they're having their vacations
Where the milk cows low and the ROSTERS crow
And they set out man-sze rations
They leave off starchy, padded clothes
And they the hills and valleys;
And they call 1t great, and they say they hate
To go back to streets and alleys
Country folks to the city HE
In their recreatlve leisure;
Where for half the night there are lanes Of light
With the lure of life and pleasure
They put clothes they swelter in
And they go while they've cash to go on;
And going away they wish they could stay
Right there-and forth and SO on
Went to a farm" town folks enthuse
For rest from the hurry -burly"
Say the farm folk: We'll we've been for a spell
Where they don't get up so early"
Each could have got more rest, course
Staying at home. but that's not it,
They wanted things strange they wanted change
And couldn't rest till they got IT,
