demonstration farms, and the National
Corn Exposition. AS head Of the ex
tension department of Iowa State Col
lege of Agriculture he did a work
which, Senator Cummins says, up to
the present time has increased the
wealth of Iowa $4,000, 900.
The object Of the l H c Service Blu
reau is the promotion Of agricultural
education, and a cooperation which
will tend to raise the whole tone of
commercial, industrial and farm life.
Since agriculture Ia the basis of pros
perity and progress, naturally farm
problems claim first attention. The aim
Is higher efficiency, both on and OF
the farm.
To do a big work a big organization
Is necessary. Not only the bigness,
but the perfection Of the international
organization as well appealed to Pro
lessor Holden. The big general agen-
cies, scattered all over the United
States and Canada; the statesmen,
travellers and expert machine men;
the 10000 dealers-every one, so far
as possible, is to be made an apostle
Of better farming.
For years the International Har-
Vester Company has realized the i'm
portance of service. 1t has spent mil
lions Of dollars in the perfection of Ia
~bor-saving machines, and now the
company is going in for direct service
direct to the farmers, and direct to
the farmers children, that the men
and women of tomorrow may be more
capable and so more prosperous than
the men and women of today.
1t is no longer a theory that If we
are to get the most out of life we
must raise more per acre. "Inten-
sive farming" is in the air. 1t is the
battle cry of peace and plenty. But,
raising more is the result of mind.
no muscle. We must know. And
not only that, we must know we
know, and know why we know. We
must know good seed from bad, right
cultivation from wrong, and the why's
and wherefors Of climates, soils,
fruits, cattle, horses, poultry, and SO
forth.
For these things the bureau was
established. But the bureau and
Professor Holden see more than an
average increase Of a few bushels.
They see a time coming when farmers
will raise twice as many bushels OF
corn, wheat and oats to the acre,
and like yields of all ether kinds or
farm products. They see a time when
farmers and farmers wives and their
children will think more and wor.
less. Every bushel raised means Just
that much profit, and the profits of
the farm promote commerce and In
dustry.
After q period of good work in Mich
igan agricultural college, better work
at Illinois, and a great work at Iowa.
Professor Holden now enters upon q
worlds work. While in futurs Pro-
fessor Holden will designate Chicago
As home. he xays heis not leaving Iowa

rest OK the world.

LAY OVER ON YOUR SIDE.

That the old saying Politics Makes
Strange Bed-Fellows" is still true has
been again illustrated in the history
OF jefferson county.
Four years ago the Taxpayers Pro-
tective Association was organized to
fight the Plum Bayou Drainage Dis
trict, of which G. E. Lyle was one of
the principal officers. The members of
the association were especially bit
ter in their attack upon Mr.. Lyle
and succeeded in breaking up the dis
trict. The same association has just
endorsed Mr.. Lytle for the most i'm
portant office of the county, that of
county and probate judge.
Truly politics does make strange
bed-fellows, even causing the lion
and the lamb to lie down together.

NEGOTIABLE TAXATION.

Probably so long as the basis OF
taxation is the owners appraisement
of the value thereof there will con-
tinue to be, Notwithstanding all the
efforts of tax collectors to the con-
trary, great inequalities and inequi-
ties in the tax returns. In personal
assessment the evil has its beginning
and county equalizers pass it along to
the state board. The individual seeks
to relieve himself of all he possibly
can through the medium OF the as
SCISSOR and the local equalizing board
and the local equalizers seek to avoid
as much of the state tax as possible
by keeping dowl the assessment and
by resisting the efforts of the state
tax board to equaliZe the assessments
among the several counties, so that
each may bear their just proportion
according 10 their actual relative
wealth.
That this is difficult and some
Horses may be assessed on an
average of twenty dollars in one
county and fifty in another. Pianos
may be assessed on an average OF
one hundred dollars in one county and
only twenty-five or less in another,
and so on through long list of per
sonal property. And the same IN
equality is noted in the realty assess
ments. Recently it was reported
from Little Rock that the state tax
ing commission is wrestling with an
aggravated case of undervaluatDoit
from a county in the central part OF
the state where is situated large lum-
Der plant aud which differentiation
seems countenanced by the local as
SCISSOR and board of equalization. the
plant was assessed at 100000 but 1t
was shown before the board that 1t
carries total of $60S,S50 insurance
on its property and its realty locat-
ed inside the limits of it's home city
is worth $4,000 more. Since the in
surance does not exceed So per cent
it follows that the value OF the prop
erty is about $751; 900 and the assess
ment therefore, is about 20 per cent.
These facts were presented by
Commissioner Gates of the local
board, consisting Of two farmers and
three city men. and they agreed only

which was assessed at $4,000 and
after hard protest raised TO 100000,
the farmers being among those most
active in voting to keep down all as
sessments.
So long as this spirit actuates men
as individuals and as county officials
it is evident there can be no just levy
of county or state taxes. In each il
stance the effort is to get from under
and leave large part of the tax bur-
den to be borne by those more con-
scientious or less successful in evad
ing the tax. This state of affairs is
responsible, very largely for the de-
plorable condition of the treasury,
which will continue to run behind
expenditures so long as it is defraud-
ed of what is justly it's due
Frankly, the Times Record does
not believe the evils incident to the
present system can be avoided and
that improvement can come only with
the adoption of new system. What
that shall be, the single tax theory
of Henry George whereby land alone
is taxed without reference to the
value of improvements and personal
ly is exempt, or whether it shall be
something else, but SO long as there
is a premium on individual and coun-
ty efforts to shirk the just apportion
ment of the tax burden just so long
will injustice and inequality con-
tinue and the state treasury suffer-

THINK IL OVER,

If you are not convinced that the
Police department should be paid in
cash, look over the records of burg
lars and other criminals caught in
the past few days.
If the fire department boys have to
quit for the reason that they cannot
be paid off owing to the warrants of
the city not being cared for by the
banks or citizens, will we get the
reduction Of insurance rates or will
the insurance companies cancel what
insurance is carried in Pine Bluff ?
Would it not be we'll for the local
insurance agencies to look into this
and also the purchasing of the much
needed hose.

fancy Insures Good Health In
Later Years.

We cannot all start life with the
advantages Of money, but every child
born is entitled to the heritage of
good health. Through unfortunate ig-
norance or carelessness in the feed
ing of baby its tiny stomach may
become deranged. The disorder
spreads to the bowels and before the
mother realizes it the two chief or
gans on which the infants comfort
and health depend are causing it
great suffering. If the condition is
allowed to continue grave ailments
often result.
There is, however, no occasion for
alarm, and the sensible thing to do
but it should be done instantly-is
ito give the baby a small dose of a
mild laxative-tOnic. In the opinion of

POLITICS VS.. PATRIOTISM

When the Taxpayers Protective AS
sociation was organized and, at it's
several meetings since then, its presi-
dent has always taken great pains to
read to its members the constitution
and bylaws of the organization, and
great stress was laid upon the fact
that the organization was not pOllt.
ical one, but, that its purpose was
to protect the taxpayers against
burdensome and unjust taxation.
Many of its original members join
ed the organization under the belief
and through promises that, as az
organization it would refrain iron
active participation in politics, at
least; that it would not attempt to
array its members on the side OF one
Democrat as against another.
Had the organization remained true
to these principles or consistent in its
advocacy OF them it might have gone
on for years without the adverse cri-
ticism that one hears on every side
since its meeting here this month.
While there We're hundreds OF the
best citizens throughout the county
that strongly opposed the position
taken by the Taxpayers Association
on the Free Bridge question, and who
were strong partisans of that enter
prise; they nevertheless, gave the
Taxpayers Association credit for being
honest in its opposition and conceded
the right to it that they reserved to
themselves-to use their own good
judgement on matters OF public I'M
provements. In other words, there
could be an honest difference between
men and neighbors ON certain ques.
lions Of public improvements, but
because iii that difference there could
still remain perfect harmony on the
many other interests confronting all
the people OF the county.
AS certain leaders of the Associa-
ton began to show their true colors
and attempted to use the Association
to further their own personal and
political interests, dissensioa arose,
and murmurs OF discord among its
members were frequently heard,
growing stronger and more numerous
as the real motive of few self-ap-
pointed leaders became more appar-
ant, until. what was. few months
ago, low murmur OF discord, has
now grown to thnnderous sounds Of
protest.
Honest and patriotic taxpayers re-
fuse TO have their sacred rights of
citizenship sold Tor mess OF
