APPROPRIATIONS CARRY
over MILLION DOLLARS

Little Rock, March 12-The house
Tuesday afternoon passed appropria-
ton bills carrying a total of over one
million dollars, as follows.
State'capitol, S500,078.68.
School for the blind, $74,385.00.
Deaf mute institute, $154 54,414.00.
Insane asylum, $43S, 1900.
Total, $1,167, ,593.06.
There was no fight over the bills for
the three charitable institutions, ex-
cept that Patterson of Woodruff made
an Intellectual attempt to reduce the
salary of the superintendent of the
asylum from $4,000 to $4,000 year.
Even the battle-axers, having exhaust
ed their energies on other appropria-
tion bills, acquiesced in these, and per-
mitted them to go through without
change.

ARKANSAS TAX
LEVY INCREASED
MORE REVENUE is NEEDED
GENERAL TAX LEVY INCREAS.
ED FROM l "a MILLS TO
IA MILLS.

Little Rock, March 1.-THE action
of the Legislature in passing the Carl
Lee bill, increasing the general tax
levy from l 3-4 to 2 Ia mills means
the addition of about $5OO,O0O bien-
nially to the general revenue fund, and
is the first step toward actually get
ting more revenue. Under the pres
ent property assessment this will
bring about $215,000 annually.
The new tax rate adjustment takes
three-eighths of a mill from the half
mill levy for state capitol purposes,
thereby leaving only one-eighth of a
mill levy for the purposes of complet-
ing the new state capitol. This will
amount to $4,000 or 100000 annually,
however, and as there will be about
1925 700 in that fund when the pres
ent taxes are paid in, it is believed
this will take care of the new capitol,
beautify the grounds and embellish the
building property.
The other one-eighth mill, which is
added to the general levy, is from the
sinking fund. In other words, the
sinking fund tax levy is virtually
abolished.
The total tax levy remains un-
changed.

TAXES MUST BE
PAID BY APRIL 10
PENALTIES TO Be ADDED
PRESENT LAW GIVES COLLEC-
TOR NO LATITUDE IN EX-
TENDING TINE.

| Either great many delinquent
penalties will be assessed or the Office
of the tax collector will be one of the
busiest places in the county between
now and April 10. Up to this after
noon Sheriff j. S. Johnson had made
only about 1900 receipts. With less
than one month in which to pay more
than two-thirds of the receipts are to
De issued.
The collector says that for every
receipt made out after April 10 a pen
atty OF 10 per cent of the taxes will be
added. Il will either have to add this
penalty or pay it myself" said Sheriff
johnson today, "as the present low
forces the county clerk to charge me
with a penalty of 10 per cent on every
receipt recorded after April TO-"
1t will be almost a physical impossi-
biiity to get all the receipts made out
within the time prescribed by the law.
Only 26 working days remain in which
to do the work, and in order to COM
plete the collection an average of
about IT'S per day will have to be
made out. The collector could do this
oy continuous work, but the taxpayers
are coming in very slowly now and
the big rush will come the last two
weeks.
The law to which Sheriff johnson
refers was passed by the legislature
of 1911, and is as follows:
"Section /. All taxes levied on real
estate and personal property by the
several county courts of the state,
when assembled for the purpose of
lcvying taxes, shall be deemed to be
due and payable at any time from the
first Monday in January to and in
GLIDING the 10th day of April, shall
he considered as delinquent, and it is
hereby made the penalty of 10 per
cent against all such delinquent tax
payers that have not paid their taxes
within the time limit specified, and
the collector shall collect said penalty
in the same manner and at the same
time he collects other delinquent
taxes.
Section 2. The clerk of the county
court, at the time of making settles
ment with the collector, shall carefully
examine the record of tax receipts as,
kept by the collector, and shall charge
said collector with sum equal 10 10
per cent of all the tax receipts record
ed subsequent to the 10 day of
April Provided, all errors or .omis-
sions of the collector in recording any
tax receipt shall be exempt from the
penalties herein prescribed.
"Section 3. This act being neces-
sary for the immediate preservation
of the public peace, health and safety
shall take effect and be in force from
and after its passage.

Fruit Varieties
Best for Canning

We have been asked many ques-
tions relative to varieties of fruit and
vegetables we would advise planting
that would be in demand from a can
merry and discussion at this planting
time may be of value.
This district has many special fruit
growing advantages but has rela-
lively limited fresh fruit market for
the more perishable fruits.
We have gained coast-wide repu~
tation for the quality of our peaches.
Cur foothills are as sure crop peach
sections as are to be found and their
possibilities for production are enor-
nous.
The peach most desired in this
valley from a Gamers standpoint is
cling. The Phillips and Tuscan
clings are two that year after year
are paying big returns to the Cali
fornia growers and it is my personal
belief an orchard of these offers as
great a revenue prospect as any
planting that can be made here to-
day The few brought in this sea-
son were of excellent quality.
The past summer owners of a num-
Der of young orchards budded over
to clings of the above varieties.
The apricot is neglected fruit
here. Observance of about 500 trees
four and five years old this past sea-
son, with their splendid fruit and
perfect specimens of the trees that
are 10 to 15 years old. assures me
that apricots can be successfully
raised here The Blenheim and More
park were the varieties.
