 WashlnGton.-lt is going to cost the people of Arkansas S2, 250 GOO this year, owing to the shortsighted policy of the Arkansas legislature in failure to pro- vide at it's last session for the exten- sion of the work of cattle tick eradi- cation to additional counties by au- thorizing them to raise a tax of five cents per head of cattle for this work. The Department of Agriculture an ncunced that it is unable at the pres cnt time 10 give Arkansas her full in creased appropriations for tick eradi- cation made by Congress at it's last regular session. The federal work. therefore, will be largely restricted to the counties to which state authCriza- tion has previously been granted
 The method by which the federal authorities cooperate with the state in eradicating he tick is for the states or counties 10 raise funds to provide dipping yats, and the federal authori- tics then send their specialists to the field to assist the local authorities in carrying out the work of destroying this parasite, which leasrns the value of cattle g per head and often dam ages the value of the hides for making certain kinds of leather

NEW DUTIES ARE
 LOWEST FOR YEARS
SET RECORD FOR THREE QUAR-. TIERS OF CENTURY, SAYS
 UNDERWOOD.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Washington.-The new tariff meas ure, as agreed upon in conference, fix es lower duties than have been con. talned in any tariff act during the past 70 years, according to Oscar w. Underwood, Democratic leader of the house, and one of the authors of the present measure.
 The rates of the tariff bill as it came back to the House for approval propose a lower taxation than any tariff bill in the last three-quarters of a century, Mir. Underwood said.
 The measure as it now stands is lower in it's rates than the bill that passed the House or the bill that pass ed the Senate for the House conferees accepted all but three or four of the reductions made by the Senate while the Senate receded from over one-half of it's increases.
 This tariff blill, with it's 26 per cent average, is almost as low as the famous Walker tariff which had low duties on liquor and tobacco. Be sides it's great reductions on articles or general use this bill places many of the necessities of life on the free list or gives them very low rates of tariff"
 The revenue under the new law, Mir Underwood said, would yield a sur plus of $l8,000,000 over estimated gov ernment expenditures in 1915. He gave the treasury experts figures showing that the total government revenue in 1915 would be $l,02G ,000. 900 and expenditures $1,008,G00, 900, q sur plus of $lS,0G0,000.
