man OF the committee. The bulletin
says:
The extent to which the post

fiscal year ending June 80, 1911:
Inquiry was made of all publish.

which nearly seventeen thousand are
weekly publications.
More than ten thousand returns
were received, embracing sixty-six
plus per cent. Of all tonnage of pub.
lications.
The publications reporting repre-.
sent an annual output of more than
six and one-half billion copies. the
weight of which was one and three.
quarter billion pounds.
These publications delivered by
mail In such period weighed 633,Ol2..
902 pounds.
They delivered by their own car

s4O,466,574 pounds. of which an unas-
certained percentage was carried to

The sixth block or 18th and 18th rows
of lots, the price of the lots will be
800. half lots, $50 and quarter lots $50.
The last row of blocks or the block on
the west side of the cemetery the price
of the lots are $40 per lot, $40 for one
half lot and $25 for oue-quarter lot.
These prices all include what is called
the permanent assessment. All perm
anent assessment funds are kept in the
savings bank and only the interest used
for the improvement Of the cemetery.
This interest ia used only to improve
the lots on which the permanent as-
sessment has been paid. These prices
prevail for all lots that are now
owned by the association whether ia

FAREWELL PARTY
Old Settlers Entertained DIR. and
Mrs. F. N. Palmer Last
Evening

1t may appear some what ambiguous
to say that a farewell party is an en-
joyable social gathering, especially
when the guests of honor are pioneer,
highly respected citizens who are about
to sever their relations with friends
| and associates of n quarter of a cen
fury. But such was the case at the
complimentary party rendered DR.. and
Mrs. F. N. Pslmer ar Odd Fellows
hall last evening by a company of old
settlers. Pleasure was derived, how
ever, in giving pleasure to the hon
ored guests by those who know them
lest. and assuring them of the esteem
in which they are held in this com
munity. Besides. it is easily taken
into account that DR.. and Mrs. Palmer
are relinquishing their residence in
Madison the better to enjoy life else.
| where, according to their estimation,
in q material sense, bat they never will
| find tirmer friends than they leave be-
hind.
A company of about sixty old settlers
were present last evening and the in
formality and real visiting which was
apparent made the time pass like q
family reunion. During the course of
the evening. Gen. Beadle and Judge
Holdridge made felicitous remarks APP
propriate to the occasion. and as a
token of remembrance DIR. Palmer WAS
presented with a gold headed cane and
Mrs. Palmer with a silk umbrella, DR..
Clough voicing the sentiment of the
company in the presentation. Refresh
ments were served, and throughout the
evening the honored guests were made
10 feel that their long residence in
Madison had been a source Of pleasure
to their associates and in their going
away they would be accompanied by
the good wishes of their long list of
friends.
DR.. and Mrs. Palmer and daugh-
ters, Misses Pearl and Iva. and Mrs.
Webb, Mrs. Palmer's mother, will
soon depart for Los Angeles, Cal, to
reside, having disposed of most of
their interests here.

uNREAsoNARLE TAX.

Anything very unreasonable is not likely to be ordered by our courts. particularly if the unreasonableness is property pointed out at the time ac ton Is taken.
 4 court oTder is asked for which would require all property within Garland county to be assessed at q full valuation.
 Property in other parts of the state is assessed at about basis of one third valuation.
 If the court order was issued and the people here had to pay taxes on fnll valuation of property, and the people in the other counties paid only on onezthird valuation. the people of this county would be paying propor tionateiy two~thirds more state taxes than the people of another county.
 There are other facts in connection with this issue that should be thresh cd our in court on June 10, when the case is called in Little Rock
 The people of this county and city are under about all the burden Of ex- pense now they can stand Aside from the usual public expenses of government, the people here are pay ing large sums every year into an Arkansas State Fair. a larger sum into an advertising campaign, and are laboring under heavy expenses in other lines.
 The holder pf Garland county ob ligations should not be entitled to work any hardship on the people. The higher courts might be a collective agency, but not to the extent of order ing higher taxes to pay the obliga ton. Garland county will probably not ever repudiate it's obligations though 1t is admitted the pay is slow
 If the cause Is properly resisted in the federal court We believe the case can be won for the people. If the cause is not properly resisted, or Is merely casually or formally objected to. the court will issue the order, the taxes will be trebled and the people will suffer.
