ARkANSANS WANT J0BS
Only Two Or Three Tax Collectors to
 Be Appointed in This State

Western Newspaper t-rion News se~yise
 Washingtou. n. C-That Arkausa~ does not lack for patriotic Democrats who would be willing to take usce large segment of federal pie is ev. denced by the fact that during the last few weeks the members of the Arkansas congressional deleeation have received fully BOO applications from constituents seeking appoint ments as income tax collectors when the Underwood simmons tarif bill be comes a law. l. now seems likely that not more than three, possibly only two such collectors will be named for Arkansas.
 The Treasury Department has not yet definitely decided how many addi tional employees it will require to col feet the income tax, but it is likely that at least 300 collectors will be re quired throughout the United States of course in New York. Chicago. Phila delphia. Pittsburg. Kansas City and the large financial centers, where swol len fortunes are more common, several collectors probably will be required Except in the more populous district of Arkansas there will be but little work for income tax collectors.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 WashingtOn.-It is going to cost the people of Arkansas $2,250. coo this year, owing to the shortsighted policy of the Arkansas legislature in failure 10 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 tax of five cents per head of cattle for this work. The Department of Agriculture an nounced that it is unable at the pres ont time to give Arkansas her full in creased appropriations for tick eradi- cation made by Congress at its last regular session The federal work, therefore, will be largely restricted to the counties to which state authoriza- tion has previously been granted
 The method by which the federal authorities cooperate with the state in eradicadng the tick is for the states or counties to raise funds 10 provide dipping yats and the federal aHthorj- ties then send their specialists to the field to assist the local authorities in carrying out the work of destroying this pariste, which Iesseus the value of cattle S2 per head and ofaen dan ages the value of thc hides for making certain huds Of leather
 In he absence of s7rh authorizing act the stat officials have no a1thori ty to comnel counties 10 take steps ra dip their cattle. and the guesH ion ot er2dutia- tho ucG depends entirely CT whether 1he people Of the various counties az. willing to raise private subscriptions for he work II tte counties ar" unable to provide ajpp.ae Nats and dips. hey cannot obtain from the Horticultural Department the full help that Congress des3sned tHe1 should have from the Bureau of AnI nal Industry
