Crockett over $2,500,- 900, which makes the yearly state taxes in the neighborhood of $3,00G,- GOO, an increase of over $100,000 from the 1912 taxes
 Few people are now able to cash warrants issued on the Arkansas Treasury, but there will be no dis counting or waiting on warrants af- ter next Tuesday.

POSTAL SAVINGS MONEY LOANEn'

Little Rock, June 27-Attorney Gen. eral w. l.. Moose Friday afternoon in- formed the Postal Savings Department of the United States Government, that the postal savings deposited with Ar kansas banks, are to be considered with all other moneys loaned to the bank under the head of Moneys loaned' in the recently enacted Ark ansas banking law.
 This decision, rendered at the re- quest of the government, gives the ln- dividual the same protection and fights of the government. The gov ernment will not permit a bank to handle the postal savings funds un- les sthe Attorney General, Postmaster General, and Commissioner of Agri- culture have approved of their appll- cation. The state law prohibits bank officials from hypotheticating or sell ing any bonds or securities without the board of directors first passing upon it.
 The state banks which handle the postal savings" funds, file With the government securities and pay inter- est on the amounts deposited. They are allowed par on government bonds, 90 per cent on state and city bonds, and 75 per cent on other bonds, but under the ruling of the Attorney Geh- eral, the banks will not be permitted to give the government preference ill the placing of their bonds.

HIGHER FREIGHT RATES.

That railroads will be permitted to advance freight rates by five per cent seems probable. No such opposition on the part of shippers and public as developed three years ago, when ten percent advance was proposed, has yet appeared.
 An advance in freight rates amounts to tax on traffic that will remain in force for several years at least As no one can foretell the future, it is possible for the Interstate Commerce Commission, in case like this, to err on either side. It may sanction an increase that next years business will prove to have been badly needed.
 During the current fiscal year the roads have carried the heaviest traf- fife ever known. Consequently gross earnings for nine months show an in crease of more than three hundred million dollars over last year. Until the spring floods, happened weather ConQltOnS were more TaVOraDle to economical operation than in any oth- CT recent year, so that net earnings also showed very substantial gain but nobody can guarantee favorable weather.
 When the losses entailed by the spring floods are counted up, and con stantly increasing taxes are paid, il will doubtless be found that net in, come, in the last three years has no' increased approximately with tho constantly increasing capital invest ment.
 The public can better take a chance of paying the railroads little toe

Page, Commissioner of Mines, Manu- factures and Agriculture, will within the next week issue bulletin show ing the results in Arkanssa under the fertilizer law during the past year. This report will show that during the past twelve months, not one of the sixty fertilizer concerns doing Dusi- ness in Arkansas has violated the law by shipping inferior goods into the state
 During the past year two hundred samplse of fertilizer were taken from stores in different portions of the state, where it had been displayed for sale. Every sample, when analysed by the state chemist, came right up to the analysis and many ran above.
 This condition is much different than what existed before the inspec- tors went to work and began sending samples to the state chemist. Under Fred H. Phillips the inspectors began this work and at that time only three out of a large number of samples, were up to the analysis claimed by the manufacturers.

GREEN TO WASHINGTON

Little Rock, June 21.--Adiutant General B. w. Green, of the Arkansas National Guard, will leave for Wash ington Sunday where he will take up with the War Department the question of d continued appropriation for the Arkansas Guard. There has been con siderable doubt during the past few weeks as to the intention of the War Department, and Adj. Gen. Green de- cided to go to Washington and place the matter personally before the ot- ficials of the army.
 Assistant Adjutant General w. |. Bradford resigned several days ago because the legislature had made no appropriation for his salary, and ne had failed in an attempt to get local banks to carry his salary TOT two years and look to the legislature to make deficiency appropriation coV- ering it. At the instance of AdJ. Gen. Green, this resignation has been withheld until he can visit Washington. It is believed that Gen. Green Will satisfy the War Department with ms report of the way the citizens oi Ar kansas have come to the assistance of the Guard by making personal do- nations after the legislature had fall ed to make an appropriation to sup port the organization, and that orders will be given to continue the appro- priations for the Arkansas citizen sol diery.

Who Pays Taxes To Keep This Town Going?
By HOLLAND.

" hNN he" piluSe 10 w needed, q road must be repaired, q courthouse is to be built. where does the mon- ey come from? Do the mail order houses pay it? Hardly. They will not even send q contribution to help buy q bell for the new church or to help a Fourth of July cele- bration. They pay no taxes in this town, and they are not concerned in it's prosper ity.
 This town must be support ed by its res3dents and those who live in the immediate vicinity. If they insist on sending their money away then they are helping to kill their town, and they are mak- ing it harder for them to pay the taxes necessary to main- tain local government and to make local improvements.
 You owe something to your self. and you owe something to your neighbors. You can help yourself by helping your neighbors. You can't injure your neighbors without injur- ing yourself. When you send money to mail order houses you are hurting your town, your neighbors and yourself. SPEND YOUR MONEY
