ASSESSMENT IN
 BENTON VERY LOW
FARMS ONLY HYPER CENT
INVESTIGATIONS OF TAX COM MISSION SHOW STARTLING
 RESULTS.

! Little Rock, June 7.-The investiga-
 tion that is being conducted by the Arkansas Tax Commission into the as sessed and actual values of the state show some startling results. The farm lands of Benton county one of the wealthiest counties of the state, being at only fraction over IF per cent of the actual value. Very rarely is county assessed over 50 per cent, which the uniform basis the commission is attempting to secure. Cross county is assessed at about 63 per cent of it's census value, Monroe icounty at 43.4 per cent, Perry county at 5S per cent, and Poinsett at 49 per cent. These figures show some of the discrepancies which the commission is laboring to overcome.
 Conway county lands are assessed at PAP per cent of the census value, land there are only three or four that appear to be assessed at smaller percentage of actual value. In let ter to the assessor of Conway county, the commission says:
 The census of 1910 shows that 70 per cent of the acreage lands of Con- way county is in farms. A farm for census purposes was lands held and used in connection with a farm; for
 nf
 acres with a house thereon and five or ! 10 acres in cultivation, the whole was considered farm.
 "There being 25o,612 acres at an av-
 craze value of with the buildings
 thereon of $1S.74 per acre, aggregat-
 in farm values $4,698 ,282. There were assessed in 1910 in the county 356,72a
 acres.

Montana Coal Production.

The production of coal Ia Montsna
in 1912 was 3.O43, 495 short tons, valued
at Is, 342, 1853 according to E. w. Park
err, OF the United States geological
survey. This is the first time that the
output of the state has passed 3.O00.-
900 tons.
The first record OF coal production
in Montana was made 81 years ago,
in 1880, when the output amounted to
only 224 toes. Up to 1858 the develop
ment had been rather slow, the output
in that year amounting to 41.467 tons.
II rose to 1853, 30l tons in 1889 and in.
creased rapidly until 1895, when it
reached . total Of about $500, 900
tons. 1t averaged approximately that
quantity each year until 1904 and has
since shown a. increasing tendency,
reaching the maximum Of 3,046. 495
tons in 1912.
