ton to follow their duties in the
equalizing of assessments deter
mined to make the assessment
uniform at 33 1-3 per cent OF
actual values, which if carried
out will bring more revenue to
the county and state, the other
towns and school districts of the
county but reduce the income of
this city and school district sew
eral thousand dollars.
The tedious work of other
boards and assessors in gradual
ly bringing assessed valuations
to so per cent of actual values
will all have been lost in one
stroke and it will be years be-
fore we regain the ground lost.
And in the meanwhile, what of
our schools? To secure a mod
ern and adequate building, to
bring Newport schools up to the
standard of other progressive
cities of the state, this district
issued bonds in the sum of S45,-
600 and is now threatened with
a reduced assessment that would
make the district unable to meet
the interest and retire this
bonded Indebtedness as it be-
comes due and at the same time
continue cur schools. Such a
course would be public calami-
ty to this city and district and
the situation ought to arouse
the public spirit and patriot
ism of our people in a demand
that our valuations stand as
thew are and the board confine
it's attention to equalizing the
burdens of similar classes of
property in our district.
The county is on a scrip basis,
the state treasury is empty, the
Confederate soldier is paid only
a per cent of the pension allot-
ted and while no man enjoys
the payment of taxes, their in
crease is necessary to support
our state and county govern
ment. All over Arkansas the
people are meeting these con-
ditions by an increase of assess
ments, not only because the
revenue is needed, but by reason
of our growth in wealth and the
increased values of our lands.
When these are the conditions
confronting us, the better course
upon the part of our tax equal
izers it would seem, would be to
bring valuations up in the
county instead of reducing as
sessments in Newport. Bring
them up gradually, not to work
| a hardship upon the people, for
great results are not accomplish
ed in day, and with Newport
willing to pay taxes upon her
present assessment in order to
support her schools and city
expenses, let the assessments
stand except in equalizing the
burdens among ourselves.
The tax payers and citizens of
this district if they have an in

terest in our schools and of this
we are confident, should urge
upon the Board of Equalization
now in session, the maintenance
of present assessments in this
district, and they ought to do it
now, before too late.

Judge Says Cold Feet
No Cause for Divorce

LONDON. June 12.-Sharp criticism of
American divorce methods was made
by Mr.. Justice Pickford In the high

"One can get a divorce for all sorts

can divorce man in some States for
such a trivial thing as a bad temper"
The defendant in the case, an Amerj-
can, responded: Yes, one can get a
divorce in Minnesota for cold feet,
snoring and incompatibinty.

would not be enough in England, but
things so seriously" said Mr.. Justice
