FR|fDMAN'S CURE

Little Rock, April 11.-Eastern
physicians may place little faith in
the tuberculosis cure of DR.. Fried
man, but in this they do not agree
with the physicians of the Arkansas
tuberculosis Sanatarium. DR.. Bos-
worth, the head of the institution,
went to New York some weeks ago to
study the methods of DR.. Friedman.
He was not successful in getting very
far into the secrets of the alleged
cure, but he did persuade DR.. Fried
man to vaccinate a patient from the
Arkansas institution, who accompa-
MED him to New York. The patient
has increased in weight and strength
every day since his return, and though
both lungs were badly affected, and
the physicians thought the test one
too severe, it is believed he will re-
cover.
The decision of the army physicians
is being awaited with much eagerness
at the sanatarium, as bountiful sup
ply of the serum has been promised in
case the decision is favorable one.

FRANCHISE TAX
MUST BE PAID
AMOUNT TO Sl75,OOO.OO
NOTICES BEING SENT TO ALL
CORPORATIONS IN STATE BY
TAX COMMISSION.

Little Rock, April 11.-Notices to
all corporations in Arkansas, calling
their attention to the laws of the state
governing franchise taxes, and init
mating it is time for the payment of
the same, are being sent out by the
tax commission. This act, as amend
ed by the recent legislature, will bring
in $4,000 to the general revenue
fund, and it must be paid in by Au-
gust TO- With the evident intention
of keeping the general revenue fund
near the bedrock, the legislature also
made many appropriations which will
take out even this great sum as rap
idly as it is paid in.
Under the new law, all corporations
not specifically mentioned, must pay a
franchise tax of one-ffteenth of one
min of the capital stock employed in
Arkansas. The law also gets the for
eign corporation which is authorized
to do business in Arkansas, forcing it
to pay tax upon the amount of CAPT
tai it is authorized to employ in the
state The minimum tax to be paid
by any. corporation is SO. There are
between 5000 and 5000 corporations
doing business in the state.
Building and loan companies must
pay a tax of $25, mutual insurance
companies which have no capital
stock, must pay an annual tax of 500
and insurance companies with cap
ital stock up to 100000, pay S1O0,
but those with capital over that sum
must pay 5000 annually.

perfected plan for the relief of flood
sufferers. Some time ago he appoint
ed one man in each town in the posi-
BILE path of an overflow of the Missis-
sippi river, to keep him advised upon
the situation. He has now gone step
further and appointed relief COM
mittee in towns where relief is now
needed. More committees will be APP
pointed as the flood area widens, if
such calamity occurs.
The committees appointed Friday
were: Marked Tree, NJ. W. Hazel, Il.
Ritter. X. C. CcCroy, T. B. Stayton,
G. H. Williams; Forrest City, F. w.
DeRossitt, James Fubbel, E. A. Rolfe,
Henry German and j. c. Stearns.
The committees are supplied with
blanks, which must be filled out and
signed by two members before relief
can be given. The committees Will
have charge of all government sup
plies, and the applicant must answer
more questions than are contained IN
a census blank before being favored.
Acting Governor Futrell keeps IN
hourly touch with the river front, and
follows the crest of the flood. Recelv-
ing an appeal for convicts to reinforce
the Cotton Belt levee near Helena,
Acting Governor Futrell Friday tele-
phoned to Old Town, where the con-
victs were defeated in their fight with
the river, and requested that they De
taken Immediately down the river to
Helena. The convicts will be kept up
on the boat there, as they were north
of Memphis.
Convicts will today be taken from
the state farm to the Red Fork levee
on the Arkansas river, in Desha coun-
tv. a boat going from Pine Bluff for
them.
Acting Governor Futrell has mott
fed the citizens of Mississippi and
Crittenden counties that the relief for
that section Of the state will be ham
died out of Memphis, and the balance
of the district from Helena.

ASKED TO CALL
SPECIAL SESSION

Little Rock, April 11.-Pressure is
being brought to bear up Acting Gov
ernor Futrell to call a special session
of the legislature to provide relief Tor
eastern Arkansas. The same request
was made of Governor Donaghey last
wear when the condition was even
worse, and refused, and it is thought
Acting Governor Futrell Will 1oliow
the same course. All reports received
nv him since the Wilson break IN me

they continue to be so, the Damage

worth of that institution regarding
the Friedman tuberculosis cure. Con-
gresham Goodwin has followed the
career of DR.. Friedman closely since
he came to America, and is much i'm
pressed with the results obtained
through his treatment.
81 have talked with the government
surgeons who attended many clinics
held by Dr. Friedman" stated Con-
gresham Goodwin, ''and they do not
voice the sentiment expressed by the
medical fraternity of New York. They
state that DR.. Friedman went about
his work as though he understood his
business, and as any good physician
would do, which is contrary to the
published statements of New York
doctors. They also told me the Ger
man physician was sanitary in his
work. This was about all l could get
out of the physicians until their re-
port is made public. When l came
home l determined to 90 to Bonneville
and see DR.. Bosworth, who had also
seen the Friedman cure administered.
He also was reticient, but l was con-
WINGED before / left that he believes
Friedman is working along the right
lines, and that success will eventually
result from his experiments, if great
discovery has not already been made. y

CAPITOL GROUNDS

Little Rock, April 1.-THE two
buildings which have marred the
beauty of the state capitol grounds,
the old penitentiary hospital and the
frame office of the capitol contractors,
have at last been sold and are being
removed. They brought the magnifi-
cent sum of 1927, but the capitol COM
mission once offered to pay for having
them removed. In the sale of the
frame building, the state is merely
making a loan upon which it will pay,
instead of collecting interest. This
building was sold to property own

FLAWS FOUND
IN AMENDMENT
FOR LIEUT. ant GOVERNOR
THIS WOULD PERMIT AMEND
MENT FOR INITIATION FOR
CITIES AND TOWNS.

Little Rock, April 12.-Flaws in the
resolution referring to the voters OF
the state constitutional amend
ment providing for heuten-
ant-governor, have been discovered
which will probably nullify the resolu-
ton, thus permitting the resolution
for a constitutional amendment per-
hitting cities, towns and counties to
vote upon matters of local legislation,
to go before the people.
The resolution providing constltu-
tional amendment for lieutenant-gov-
ernor specified that section II, article
of the constitution be amended
This section refers not to lieutenant
governor, or succession to the office OF
governor, but applies to the length OF
the legislative session. Section /, ar
ticle 6, was the one the resolution
sought to amend.
Should. the question be submitted to
the people in its present form, there
would be two sections in the constltu-
ton referring to the succession OF the
office. of governor, should the amend
n.ent be adopted. This would make
it case for the courts to decide. 1t
would be possible for the supreme
court to straighten the tangle, and
make the constitution over in accord
with the ideas of the trainers of the
bill, but it is now argued there is no
longer any use for such an amend
ment, the supreme court, in the case
of Futrell VS.. Oldham, deciding every
possible question which might come up
in the future in connection with who
shall be entitled to the office.
The amendment providing for coun-
ties, cities and towns voting upon mat
tiers of local legislation, is considered
now of much greater Importance, as
its adoption would relieve the next
legislature of three-fourths of its bust
ness, and thus permit the legislators
to give that time to matters of state
importance.
