new FAST TRAIN
TO CARRY MAIL
JACOWAY GETS ORDER
SECURES IMPROVED MAIL SER
VICE AT CONWAY AND
OTHER POINTS.

Representative Jacoway succeeded
yesterday in having the postofice de-
partment issue orders establishing
mail service on the new trains of the
Missouri Pacific railway between
Kansas City, Mo-, and Hot Springs,
Ark, according to a Washington dis
patch to the Gazette. This will give
the patrons of Conway, Morrilton,
Russellville, Atkins, Clarksville, o.
ark and Dardanelle the benefit of a
fast mail service.
At first the postal officials held out
little hope for the service, giving as
their reasons that the trains were not
permanent and that it would be use
less to establish service for so short
time. But Mr.. Jacoway insisted
that his people should have the benefit
Of the trains so long as they were run
ard today received letter from Sec
ond Assistant Postmaster General
Stuart stating that he ha dissued or
ders for the establishing of the SER
vice. The matter was first suggested
to Mr.. Jacoway by Col C. E. Cruce of
Morrilton.

court TO MOVE
TO new CAPITOL

Little Rock, Feb. 27.-Within the
next 80 days the rooms for the su-
preme court will be completed at the
state capitol and another of the de-
partments will desert the old state
house. The steel shelving for the
court library are now being put in
place and when they are ready for
the books, the moving will begin. The
capitol commission has let the con
tract for the vaults for the state
treasury and within 80 days they are
to be in place. The states cash box
will then be taken to the new build
ing, and only the state tax commits
sion and Arkansas railroad commits
sion, both of which moved into the
statehouse after its desertion by state
officials, will be left. The books of
the state librarian are now kept in the
old building, but place for them in
the basement of the new capitol is
now being arranged.

COURT AFfIRMS
DEATH PENALTY

Little Rock, Feb. 27-The supreme
court continues it's record of furnish
ing raw material for the gallows.
More murder cases have been affirm
ed at this term of court than at any
preceding term.
On Monday the court affirmed the
death sentence of Dink Jackson, ne
gro, originally sentenced to hang at
Forrest City January 10, for the mur-
der of Noel Powell, another negro, in
January, 1912 Andrew Reed, ne
gro who had been sentenced to hang
at the same time for the murder of
his wife, also appealed, and his case
was submitted Monday.
Cecil Pless, negro, sentenced to
death for the murder of his sweet
heart, Lille Gardner, was granted
another chance at life, his case being
remanded for new trial, because of
an error in the courts instructions.

c. 7. HUSE IS
AGAIN IN BAD"

AS a result of an alleged drunken
spree Saturday night, G. T. Huse of
Benedict township is again behind the
bars of the county Jail and has there
by forfeited immunity from a con-
tempt fine assessed against him dur
ing the last term of circuit court.
Huse, it will be remembered, after Sc
curing the dismissal of misdemeanor
case in circuit court, was fined $50
for alleged insolence to the court. He
was said to be drunk at the tine, and,
after making profuse apologies to the
court was excused from payment of
the fine with the proviso that if he
should later be found under the infu-

ence of liquor the fine was to stand
When arrested by Sheriff j. S. John
son Saturday night, the officer said
Huse was well organized" and was
carrying two bottles of booze
Sheriff Johnson states that Huse will
be held until the contempt fine is paid,
a trial for his conduct Saturday night
held, and bond made for his appear
ance on a misdemeanor charge for
which he was indicted by the last
grand jury.

appeal may be taken in 80 days to the
circuit court of the county or to the
Arkansas tar commissions" Mr.. Rob
nson Juggles this section with the
agility of sleight of hand performer
IN his effort to deceive you and then
gives emphasis to the deception by
saying that poor man could not af
ford to drag himself and witnesses off
to Little Rock while the rich men and
the corporations can and that there
fore the bill is in the interest of the
corporations. If this be true, whoy is
it that practically every corporation
in the state is fighting Donaghey and
supporting Robinson?
Mr.. Robinson finds fault with the
bill because section 101 fixes the rate
unit on the state capitol rate and he
Tsays that the bill perpetuotes the
state capitol rate. We have heard
many lawyers say that Mr.. Robinson
does not rank high as lawyer. This
is not to be wondered at, since he
would make such a ridiculous asser
ton as that any legislature can do
anything the next legislature cannot
undo or pass any bill that the next
legislature cannot repeal Yet, Mr..
Robinson tells us in his printed ad-
dress that the bill ''fGes permanently
the capitol rate in the revenue sys-
tenn of the state.''
The capitol rate was selected as the
unit rate, no doubt, because it is the
loWest rate proVided for in the bill
and from that unit it is easier to COM
pute the other rates. 1t is simpler to
use a unit rate of which the othe,
rates would be fractional part 1t
is not presumed that the next legis-
lature will fix capitol rate of ony
amount. 1t is necessary that the great
building should be heated and light
ed, that the mural decorations should
conform to the stupendous architect
ural beauty and grandeur of the
building, that the grounds should be
ornamented, ETC., and when that is
done We shall have seen the end of the
capitol tax, and if Mr.. Robinson is
elected governor he will want to see
all these things DONE With the capi-
tol rate abolished it would be easy for
the legislature to take up the next
lowest rate and make it the unit rate
in order to simplify computation.
Mr.. Robinson says that the 'pri-
mary purpose of the bill is to increase
taxation" This does not comport
with the language of the bill itself
which says plainly that the purpose
of the bill is to increase the revenues
of the state and lolVer the rate of taa-
ation."
The Turner-Jacobson bill is the
product of the state tax commission,
