Tea Party when loyal sons of
America disguised as Indians

not be submitted to. General

One OF the br ightest and most
spicy newspapers that is received
is the Kearney, Nebraska, Demo-
crat, and one that is always alive
to the public welfare. In speaking
of the parcel post law it says that
THE PARCEL POST is HERE
AND LOCAL MERCHANTS
MUST PREPARE TO MEET
IT WITH ;PROGRESSIVENES
1t has been announced that one of the
largest mail order houses in this coun-
try is making preparations to establish
large branch mail order houses in every
state for the purpose of enabling them
to utilizing the cheap zone rates grant
ed by the parcel post rates which
went into operation yesterday January
l. This action of mail order houses
may and it may not be true, just as it
may or may not be injurious to the
home merchant If it is true 1t is fact
however, that parcels post is here and
it will stay. 1t will be patronized large
ly by mail order houses. These condi-
tions must be met and fOrcbly combat
ed by the home merchant if he wants
to hold his own in his territory. He
can do this by himself using the parcel
post to supply his home trade. To
accomplish this he will be required to
employ the same means that have been
so generally and successfully used by
his mail order competitor namely ad-
vertising. The home merchant ALWAYS
has friend in his home newspaper
and the home newspaper is always
ready to serve the home merchant first
and the home newspaper reaches and is
read by the very men and women that
the home merchant must reach aud the
very men and women that the mail or
der houses want to reach, i. e. those
who want to buy. The home merchant
must place himself in the line of progres
He must equip himself to employ par
Gel post in his business. He must
show his home people that he can de-
liver the goods quicker and cheaper
than mail order concern at a distance
To do this he must be prepared and then
help us-the home newspapers; to impres
these facts upon the minds of women
who read the home newspapers. These
papers cannot accomplish much along
these lines unless the merchant he lbs.
His help is vital. Every wholesale and
jobbing house with whom the local
merchant deals will help him deliver
the goods. No mail order house can e
cure an equal parcel post rate with the
home merchant because the store of
every home merchant is now the CEN
TER OF A PARCEL POST ZONE
which he can control with his business
if he will but make the proper effort in
conjunction with his home paper.
No mail order house can form such a
home combination and no mail order
house can successfully combat it,"

BIG BALANCES, BUT NO INTEREST

The statement of the financial con- dition of St. Francis county for the year ending June 30, l9l3 and of the settlement made with the treasurer and filed and approved at the July term of the county court, appears in this and the last issues of The Times.
 We note with pleasure that each and every fund has a handsome bal ance to it's credit, thus assuring the people that their county scrip will go into the markets and buy whatever is necessary at full 100 cents on the dol lar, and this is all we'll and good; but at the same time it also seems to us that it is not necessary to take and keep such large sum of money out of the pockets of the people from year to year, and hoarding it up in the bank and that the value of scrip could be maintained on less taxation, for one or two years, anyway The people are taxed heavily for this, that and other things, and the quorum court should have gone into the matter of reducing the tax levy more thoroughly. It is all right to have nice balance to the credit of all these different funds, in order to maintain scrip at par, but in protecting our scrip we seem to have lost sight of the fact that we may be expressing the people, and we see no good reason for keeping so much of a balance on hand. The taxes ought to be cut down to the lowest possible point above absolute requirements.
 Our attention has also been called by several citizens to the fact that this financial statement does not ac. count for one penny of interest on any of these immense balances to the credit of the various funds. 1t has been the understanding, ours at least, that this long mooted question would be answered by and shown in this statement to the satisfaction of all who have given the matter a thought, but we do not see anything of it.
 Some sort of statement of the in- terest earned and paid or due. on daily balances, is due the public, and should be made by the county depos- itory, which is the Bank of Palestine The people want 10 know. The com missioners of accounts recommended that an expert accountant be em- ployed for that purpose, but we dc not think that k necessary. Any mar with ordinary understanding of arith. metic, etc, can take the books and tell exactly what tie county deposits have earned, and what has been paid and what k due And this should bt done, and done at once
 In all other respects, so far as vt know, or have heard, the financial statement is satisfactory. and we con gratulate Judge Rolfe upon the splen. did showing made and Capt Merwin upon his care and pains taken tc make the settlement plain to all.

NO TAX ON BUILDING AND LOAN
 STOCKS.

Several thousand people in Little Rock and Argenta were relieved of much anxiety by the announcement that the Board of Equalization had decided not to impose a tax on build ing and loan stock It was consid- cred by the board that the stock principally is owned and held by the poorer classes, the majority of whom were enabled to pay for homes on the building and loan association plan when they could never hope to own one in any other way. While the to- tai tax would not have been large, had the tax been imposed, many did not understand the basis of taxation, and had prepared to withdraw their savings from the associations, some declaring they would bury it before paying tax on it.
 There are seventeen associations in Little Rock and Argenta in which it IS estimated more than sl 100000 is invested. Arkansas Democrat.
 The assessors all over the state have been given list of building and loan association stock, and it's value, and instructed, so they claim, to assess it at half it's actual book value, which means not only what you have paid in on 1t, but all the profits it has sup posed to have made, and which has been credited to it. This, of course, is considered an asset, but suppose the building and loan association should fail, or have some other bad luck? Then all who had been forced to pay taxes on book walt es would have been made to pay on something which they did not own. The profits on building and loan stock cannot reasonably be said to be an asset un- til 1t is actually paid to the stock holder, because there are so many chances that it. may never be paid, and besides it does not belong to the stockholder, in the sense that he could use or spend it, until it is ac- tually paid over to him. It was a very wise and proper thing for the Board of Equalization of Pulaski county to do when they refused to as- sess the building and loan association stock of it's citizens, which as the Democrat says, represents the savings of hard working citizens which will 'enable them to build a home that they could build in no other way, and they should be encouraged instead of discouraged and hampered by unjust taxation. The Board of Equalization Of other counties, of St Francis as well, will do well to cancel the assess ment against building and loan stock and raise the assessments of the truly rich, who are not paying taxes on a tenth part of their personal property,
 as is well known, There are other taxes in this county which are said to be anything but equal in justice in real estate assessments as well as per- sonal assessments. We understand, for instance, that land is assessed at Sl0 per acre that rents at from 8 to SIP per acre every year, while other lands are assessed at SlO or more that do not rent for more than S3 to $5 Dpr acre
