 ROSPERITY
THE ROOT Ov THE TROUBLE

Pine Bluff bankers are coming to the assistance of that nearly bank rupt city by agreement to carry lot of the discredited city warrants. And Fort Smith bankers have agreed to carry almost one half of the $200,000 needed by the state to meet it's pres sing engagements. It looks as if the Arkansas banker is not such an un- desirable citizen. We can't see bu. what he is just about as public spirit ed and patriotic as the next one of us. Fort Smith Times-Record.
 Our bankers are all right. We don't know<N\ at would be come of some of our cities if it were not for their pa triotic bankers. But this situation suggests thought which we wish could be driven into the heads of our voters. The trouble arises from the fact that he select men at the ballot box to manage their public affairs that they would not think of em, ploying to handle their private busi- ness matters. Get away from this de linquency and elect competent, fuga and honest men to office.-Texarkana Texarkanian.
 This is wise suggestion and ont that ought to be followed by ever, voter. But the lack of funds in ,ht city treasury is not due to extra>i gance or incompetency on the par of the present city officials, but tt condition that has arisen throus' extravaganza during past admlnls.fa tions and the inadequate five mil city tax. The enactment of a specia law, increasing the city tax for Piat Bluff and other cities and fixing { way whereby the cities receive { greater share of the road tax ani other revenues that are now paid il,- ito the county treasury by the ci,j taxpayers would serve to material. relieve the situation in future years Pine Bluffs banks are always reaa; to do their part and have never beer found wanting when the city's in terest was at stake.

RESERVE NOTES MADE LEGAL TENDER Provision As to Redemption of Currency Bill Paper
 Is Re Cast MIR. BRYAN YIELDS Democrats and Republicans Hope To Reach Agreement Before Report
 is Made.
MIR. BRYAN YIELDS

Washington, Nov. 14.-,Secretary
 Bryan has yielded in his demand that | the federal reserve notes to be issued under authority of the administration currncy law shall be redeemed in either gold or lawful money. The storm of protest against this proposed attack on the gold standard has moved even the Secretary of State to heed the voice of the people.
 The most important action by the Democratic members of the Senate currency committee today was to re- cast this provision. As 1t will be re- ported to the Senate in the adminis- tration bill, these notes are to be made legal tender and payabla in gold either at the reserve banks or the Treasury. The reserve for these note issues is gold require;,snt of B 1-2 pt\ cent, the reserve for deposit B 1-3 per. cent in either gold or law full money. The federal reserve notes
 
 may be issued in the reserve held by the member banks, but not in the re- serve of tn rgional banks. The Demo- cratic faction of the committee late this afternoon completed work on the bill and will be prepared to submit it l to the full committee when it meets | fan
 announced tonight that it would be three or four days more before they | completed their labors.
 | An honest effort is to be made by
 the two factions to get together on all
 unaflmous report on sections relating to details and non-esentials but there
 will be two reports on the fundamen- 1 .als upon which the committee is | hopelessly tied up. The Democrats
 hope for final report by nex1 Thursday, but as the Republicans art
 very carefully scanning every para graph, they may not be prepared ts
 begin the effort to amalgamate thei1 1 joint protection as son as the Demo crats hope.
 l Tonight there was revival of tht talk of an adjournment, Senator Kerr
 expressing the opinion that an ad
 journment of the present sessior
 probably would be had on the twenty
 fifth.
 The Democrats today reduced th' membership of the federal reserve
 board to seven, including the Secre l tary as an ex-officio. The term O office has been tentatively fixed at sil
 years. The pending bill provides tha ther shall not be more than one mem Der of the board from the same re
 gional district, and that the Presiden shall pay due heed to geographical di visions in making his appointments.

the company desires to ecure an in.

~terfering with its business by the re-.

the franchise expires. The other case
asks the railroad commission to es-
tablish rates for the city of Mitcheslto

ssumes the position that the rail-

diction in this case, and holds that
after May II the telephone company
will be without a franchise. and will
not be permitted to transact any bust
ness in the city until it does secure
one, and that without franchise
there will be no rates for the railroad

The Mitchell Republican takes a,
different view of the matter.
1t claims that taxation based on d
100 per cent valuation practically
amounts to douole taxes on mortgag-
ed property.
If John Jones has $4,000 and buys
a $4,000 farm, paying down $4,000
and giving a mortgage or the remain.
ing $4,000, how much is John Jones
worth? Clearly. $4,000. Yet he is
compelled by the laws OF South Dako-
ia to pay taxes on the remaining So
900 represented in his farm. Now
comes the tax commission and says
that not only shall John Jones pay
taxes once on the $4,000 which he
doesn't own, but that he shall pay
taxes on it a second time. This is
true for the a that If mort
cages arc taxed, The borrower always
pays the tax. The interest rate is
based on tax exemption in other states
