Kirby's Letter
 SanderSon s Reply
Exposing Some Enemies of Square Deal Taxes
 and of
GOV.GeO. W.DONAGHEY
WHAT \ FORMER OPPONENT SAYS
 OF D0NAGHEY.

We print herewith a signed letter from Judge Wm. F. Kirby, who, four years ago, was one of Geo. ". Don aghey's bitterest opponents. What MT Kirby says in this letter strikes US as a fair idea of what the people of Arkansas. especially those who view the matter impartially and without personal feeling, think of his admin istration. The letter is self explana- tory, and is given in full below:
 SUPREME COURT
 STATE OF ARKANSAS.
 Little Rock, February 26, 1912. Hon. NJ. E. Sanderson,
 Texarkana, Arkansas.
 Dear Sanderson:
 want to see my home county, tMiller) give Governor Donaghey a good ma jority in the primary, and am asking you and some of my other friends to help make it large,
 1 have carefully observed his official conduct, and not with friendly eyes from the beginning, as you know. and believe that absolute honesty of purpose, as we'll as good ability, have characterized his actions in the ad ministration of the States affairs, and know much has been thereby accom- plished for the States benefit under adverse conditions He saved the people something like one million dollars by cutting down and yetoing appropriations that would otherwise have become debts and obligations of the State.
 The new state house is well nigh completed, and is now occupied by most. and shortly will be, by all, of the State officials. The money has been honestly and economically ex- pended under Donaghey's administra- ton, resulting in the State getting more than is moneys worth, great saving 10 the State If it is To be finished and furnished, he has had the matter in mind and thand, is now on the job, and especially well qualified to have it done to the State adyan- tage, al the least expense
 Trusting you will become active about this matter immediately and that all goes well with you. am
 Sincerely your friend,
 W. |. Kirby

very unfriendly, not only 10 Governor
 Donaghey, but 10 the policy of his administration, and this appoint
 ment came to me unsolicited, and at
 the time I could not believe that conditions in this state were as bad
 as represented to me in the matter of
 taxation. Since that time 1 have studied the matter closely, and il
 might be interesting to you to know something about what this T. ]. bill, if now effective, would do for your
 home county in the matter of chang
 ing these awful conditions and re
 lieying the honest taxpayers from the
 burdens imposed upon them by the inadequacies of the laws now en-
 forced. And give YOU the figures as shown by the records in this county.
 "l otal valuation of all real and per sonal property in our county assessed for the year 1910 amounted to S6,69s. 950, and the county rate was fixed by the Quorum Court at its limit-tive mills on the dollar, which produced s33, 494.75 revenue. Now, this is the basis for the portion of section 102 of the T. l. bill, which provides that the amount raised in any succeeding year shall not be greater than ten per cent of the preceding year. There lore, the county taxes in Miller for the year 1911, under the terms of said bill, could in no event have ex- ceeded S36, ,S44,22, no matter what the raise in the valuation was.
 "The valuation now stands on the tax books at S7, ,646, ,090 tnot more than 40 per cent of what it should be, ) and the county rate is still fixed at five mills, which will produce at this collection of taxes S2S, 234. .45 revenue. or nearly Sl ,400 more than the T. J. bill would have allowed had it been in force. In other words, here is a plain demonstration that this bill would not increase but would de- crease, the rate Of taxation. This sliding scale also applies in the col lection of town and city taxes road taxes, and the people themselves are not disturbed in their rights under

Diversified Farming Train.

The Rock Island railroad will run another Diversified Farming Special through the state, beginning on Tues | day, March 10, at Mansfield. The train will be here on Saturday, March g, at l2:45 p. m, and stop of some- thing over two hours will be here. Before reaching here on that day the train will make stops at Wheatley, Goodwin and Palestine The follow ing experts will accompany the train and deliver practical lectures: Prof 1 Martin Nelson. and Prof w. c.

 The coming of the train has been widely advertised and it is hoped and to be expected that a large gathering of the farmers, and the school boys and girls, and the public generally, will turn out to welcome the speakers and listen to the inter- esting and instructive addresses they will make.

The provisions oi this bill have been distorted and wherever you ind the proposition discussed, an appeal is made 10 the small taxpayer to vote against the governor, or be ruined by an increase of his taxes.

Reports from Little Rock, where MT Eugene Williams, is now in charge of the Donaghey headquarters, says that he has actively begun his whirlwind campaign, and is pushing it for all he is worth. Gene is a hustling wide awake young politician, and his appointment to the place he is now filling, reflects credit not only on himself, but upon his home town, and will undoubtedly largely add to the governors maiorities.

said bill 10 vote such school taxes as their district may require
 ''l also notice that under the pre- sent valuation over the state, our state taxes would be reduced this year under the operation of said bill, and our people would have been thereby relieved of that burden.
 Il give you these figures to show by concrete example the falsity of the charges being made by the opposition to Governor Donaghey that he is trying to heap additional burdens on the taxpayers of this state in advo- eating this much -talked-of T. !. bill
 "l am not surprised that all of this tax-dodging element, which in- cludes nearly all of the corporations and large property holders among us, are active in this campaign, because when the vitals of this bill are ex- amined il is intended to reach out for them, and they do not want a governor at the helm, should the bill become law, who would fearlessly and rigidly enforce it's terms
 Your endorsement of Governor 1 Donaghey's administration should be proof sufficient, not only to the peo- pie of Miller county, but to the en- tire state, that the interests of this state are carefully guarded and her affairs economically administered and at this crucial moment. when her enemies are organized for politi- cal plunder, il behooyes every friend of clean government to become active, and l commend you most heartily for the magnanimous spirit you have i shown in openly espousing the cause of your political victor Miller will roll up her vote for Governor Donaghey.
 With personal regards, l am youl friend.
