PRAISES GOVERNOR
FUTRELL'S POLICIES
Col. s. G. Alexander Pays Warm
Tribute in Address to Cotton
Convention.

Little Rock Ark, May 7.-Praising
the administration of Acting Cover
nor J. NJ Futrell, comending his ac-
tons in public affairs and endorsing
his attitude concerning the issuing of
pardons, Col S. c.. Alexander of Pine
Bluff, leading banker and cotton OPP
orator Of that city, yesterday at the
opening. session Of the cotton conven
ton at the Elks Club, paid a warm
tribute to the policies of the present
chief executive.
eve bus ness men feel" declared
Col. Alexander, that Mr.. Futrell is
making us a splendid governor and is
filling the duties of the office to the
letter. He is plumbing the law. We
approve his course in the st. Francis
Levee Board and are proud of his
position concerning the issuing of
pardons l am glad to see man in
the governors office who does not
use it as a stepping stone to some
namented with the letter 4. Many of
us would be glad to vote TO, m for
our next governor. In saying this, l
never have seen the man nor have l
had any business with him
Col. Alexander expressed regret
that he was unable to meet the gov
ernor, who went to Hot Springs to
see Charles A. Schumann, under sem
tence of death for the murder of his
wife.
In his welcome on behalf of the
city Mayor Taylor referred particul-
arly to the need of organization and
urged upon the cotton men the i'm
portance of establishing cotton mills
in Arkansas, not only in order to
give employment to labor, but to turn
out the finished products, this enab-
ling the people to more cheaply pur-
chase cotton goods.
Colonel Alexander of Pine Bluff re-
spond for the cotton men, after re-
ferring to Governor Futrell, said it
was the purpose to form an associa-
ton to better conditions generally.
Bankers, merchants and hardware
men have organizations, he said, and
as the cotton men are the backbone
of the commerce of Arkansas, they
also should be organized.
Colonel Alexander gave a history
of the evolution Of the cotton indus
try from the days of the commission
house to the present, when cotton is
bought direct for the mills. He called
attention to the desperate efforts be-
ing made by foreign countries to dis
cover some other land where cotton
W II grow, and said that a foreign
committee that visited the South re-
ported that the best cotton on earth
was grown between Memphis and
Natchez, which largely includes Ar
kansas cotton.

Commission Asks Change. In Lsws.


Simultaneous with the preliminary
announcement of the valuation OF the
% street railway companies OF Wis
consin. the state tax commission made
public its legislative recommendations
relating to the collection of these tax
es In the future. The commission asks
for the passage of a law which will
permit the street railways to pay tax
es twice yearly, one-half of the tax to
be paid before March 1 and the re-
naming one-half On or before Septem-
Der !. This is the method now used in
collecting steam railroad taxes in this
state
In the case of steam railroads the
tax roll is TO be completed by Feb
ruary l." says the report. "and one
half of the tax is made payable on or
before the tenth day of August The
street railway companies are not re-
CURED to pay any part of the tax un-
I'll the following December. A street
railway thus escapes any tax during
the first year of its existence. Where
some other public utility. such as the
lighting plant or hydro-electric power
plant, is taken over by a street rail-
way company during the early part OF
the year and thus made subject to as
sessment as part of the entirety by
the tax commission, the question
arises whether such part of the whole
may be locally assessed or whether its
absorption by the street railway com
pany absolves it from taxation for the
year"
The commission has always held
that in such cases the property shall
be assessed locally, but asks that the
legislature clear up this ambiguity in
the law
