THOUSANDS IN
BACK TAXES DUE
SAYS ATTORNEY GENERAL
RECTOR BELIEVES HE COULD
COVER DEFICIT IF GIVEN
FREE REIN.

Little Rock, June 26.--Assistant
Attorney General Henry Rector be-
lieves that if he were given free
rein to bring suits for back taxes
against corporations, he could wipe
out the deficit and put money in the
treasury. He is confident of winning
the back-tax suit against the Kansas
City & Memphis Railway and Bridge
Company, which was decided in favor
of the railroad by Special Chancellor
c. T. Coleman at Marion last week,
and which has been appealed to the
state supreme court. 1t will not be
submitted until August, after the re-
cess.
The total amount of back taxes
asked for is s1,159,0O0 but the state
would be satisfied with half a million.
The property in controversy is half
of the Memphis bridge and about two
miles and half of main track and
sidetrack in Crittenden county. This
property was assessed in 1895 at
1921 ,036, and in 1910 at s1,25O,OOO
the aggregate assessment for the
whole period being S13,5O3,997. Dur
ing that period the total amount of
taxes paid to the state of Arkansas
was $196,42l. The net earnings in
creased from S330,OO0 in 1899 to
100000 in 1910, and the aggregate
net revenue for the whole period was
Sl9, l9S $50, one-half of which was in
Arkansas. 1t therefore follows that
the true value of the property was
six and one-half times the amount of
the assessment, and it is upon this
difference of assessment the state
seeks to recover

matter had been left to vote of the
party in this state, to decide which
should sound the keynote of the cam
paign, Bryan or Parker. Does any
one believe that Parker would have
received as much as one-tenth of the
votes?
The same is probably true of the
other southern states. Delegates I'M
responsive to the will of the people
are sent to the conventions and line
up with forces that are utterly oppos-
ed to the people. The same condition
existed at the Republican convention,
when, in the face of the fact that
probably two-thirds of the Repubi-
can voters favored the nomination of
Roosevelt, the reactionaries forced
the nomination of Taft.
But this condition will probably
never again prevail in either party.
The nominees of both parties four
years hence will be nominated by a
direct primary vote of the people, and
there will be nothing left for the con-
vention but to ratify the peoples
choice.

effected the defeat of William j. Rry-
an and the election of Alton Z. Park
er, $40 to SOC.
The solid south" is composed of
the states of Alabama, Arkansas.
Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisi
ana, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri,
North Carolina, Tennessee and Viz
ginia. Two of these states-Mary-
land and Missouri-are close and
have been carried by Republicans in
recent years, but they are still con-
sidered a part of the solid south.
These II southern states voted for
temporary chairman as follows:
Parker, 210 1-2; Bryan, 100 IL.
~ oepeNo VI iillHOlS anu NEW
York, dominated as they are by two
machine politicians and in no sense
representative of the rank and file of
the Democracy of the two states, cast
a total of 148 votes for Parker and
none for Bryan.
All of the other 90 states, from
which the Democratic party must
draw its support if it expects to win
in November, voted as follows:
Parker, POI 1-2; Bryan, $50 1-2.
The votes which are unaccounted
for in this tabulation are those of the
territories, which have no voice in the
election of a president
The struggle between the reaction
airy and the progressive forces in the
party has brought out the apparent
fact that the north and west and even
the greater portion of the east are
progressive, while the south is reac-
tionary.
But closer analysis would doubt
less show that the real sentiment, not
only of the Democratic party but al
so the Republican party, throughout
the entire nation is progressive and
radical. Parker's selection was
achieved through a coalition of the
Champ Clark, Harmon and Under
wood forces with those of Sullivan
and Murphy
1t is the habit of southern states to
send to national Democratic conven-
tons its congressman and United
States senators. In the present in
stance these men were either under
obligations to Champ Clark, the
speaker of the house, or were unwil-
ling to offer him an affront. There
fore, when the word went out from
Clark headquarters that progressive
| ism must give way to Cancellation
with reactionares, in order that
Clark might gain the support of the
latter, the southern delegations, dom
mated as they were by their congress
men and senator's, followed the Clark
lead and defeated the man conceded
on all sides to be the greatest Demo
crat who has lived since the civil war.
Does anyone believe, for instance
that Arkansas Is votes, which were
cast solidly for Parker, represent in
the least degree the sentiment of the
Democracy of Arkansas? Suppose the
