Proposed Increase in Taxes.

notwithstanding the fact that our per
capita tax on all revenues is SaO and
that our per capita property tax is s15.75.
exceeded only by Cincinnati, Buffalo and
one or two other cities, the proposition
is that the real estate tax shall be in
creased. AS compared with other cities,
are We already doing our full duty toward
ourselves and toward the governme nt ?
The answer is, emphatically. Yes. Not
taking into consideration the largely in
creased assessment of the present year,
but using the census 1912 bulletin figures,
we find that the assessed value of Wash
ington real property is, in round figures,
S33OOOO.OOO or, approximately, $4,000 600
at a true valuation, our system being
two-thirds. In Baltimore, upon a 100 per
cent basis, the valuation Is only $31s,-
100000. Yet Baltimore Is a commercially
wealthy city, with about 10000 people.
and yet its real estate is worth 1922, O0O. coo
less than in Washington. st. Louis has a
population of nearly 10000, is a great
city. and yet its property is valued on a
80 per cent basis at only SAL. OO0, coo, or
only about S10O.O000OO more than Wash
ington. Detroit, with more than 100000
people, values its real estate on Is per
cent basis at only s316,OOO,OOO.
Il could go on indefinitely with figures
showing that, based upon comparison
with other cities. Washington Is already
one of the most overassessed cities in
tIe COuillTy- bUt sLdli tuQ only one
other city. I want to give attention for
a moment to Des Moines. the city which
Judge Prouty so ably represents in Con-
gress. You would suppose of course, that
they have the 100 per cent valuation sys-
tenn in Des Moines. Not at all. In that
progressive city they assess real estate
upon % per cent valuation. What is
the result? The average per capita as
sessed value in De Moines is S247, in
Washington 1t is $1,05O'
Replying to the claim Of Representative
Prouty that full valuation is the rule
everywhere. MI. West said that only
eleven cities outside of Ohio, Massachu-
sets and New Jersey have adopted the
system.
AS to Representative Prouty's insistent
claim that the tax rate here is low at
ten mills on the dollar. Mr.. West said:
Judge Prouty has given some figures
as to the rate of taxation. He shows
that we are low. ten mills on the dollar
I insist that this is not a fair comparison.
! do not care whether the rate is one mill
or five mills or forty mills. We must
judge the burden-bearing character of
the tax by the amount which 1t takes out

still assess the property lower than it is
assessed in the average city Of the
United States
Representative Prouty charged that the
newspapers Of WashinsteE sidestep the
issue:
''They say. and quote figures to prove.
that the people Of Washington pay ap-
proximately as much ps capita as peo-
pie elsewhere pay. bus that Is begging
the question. Taxes in this country are
levied upon property ard not per capita
If man has more property than another
he should pay more taIes. and the dead
~ answer to their argument is that the
figures Of the United States census show
that the people of Washington. per
capita, are one of the Tealthtest, IL not
the wealthiest in the. United States.
Having more property per capita, nat
urally they would pay: more taxes per
capita.

INDIVIDUALS AND TRU SITS.

x The supreme court of the state, passing on a complaint made by the attorney general against the laundries of Little Rock. says that individuals < can not violate the antitrust law In brief. it is a violation of the law for corporations to make an agreement in restraint of trade, but it is not unlaw- ful for individuals to make such an agreement.
 The decision of the supreme court is sufficient to guide every member of the coming legislative session in a de- termination to have the law either i. altered or repealed.
 The purpose of the antitrust law x was not alone to prevent trusts from operating within the state of Arkan- sas, but to prevent trusts form being organized within the state of Arkan- sas.
 As we take it, combination of bus mess men acting together in restraint of trade, is a trust. The business men may be individuals and citizens of Arkansas. or they may be corporate interests of New Jersey, but the re- suit is all the same.
 If two or more individual business men enter an agreement to force up a price, or to force certain rules and #restrictions, they are in the ordinary way acting in violation of trade. That is they are not in open competition , against each other-a system of busi- ness that is desired by the laws and althe law makers.

NO CONSULTATIONS.

The first of our young men con demned to death for murder will go to the gallows in Logan county today unless in the last hour there is the committing of a sentence that has heretofore been denied by the gov ernor.
 Governor Hays is firm in his stand that he should not interfere with the verdict of the lower courts, approved by the supreme court. He has said that only under extraordinary condi. tions would be set aside the death penalty and permit the condemned men to serve out life terms in the state penitentiary. The extraordinary circumstances have not been shown.
 Conditions of the past have made people expect too much of the pardon ing power of the governor. 1t is re garded as a coordinate branch of the government. Accused and condemned men expect to pass the review of the pardon claim in every case. After the supreme court the pardon applica. tion" is the rule. If the pardons were fewer in number all the time, the dis tressing scenes pictured in the state house every week or so would not be staged

BLOOD POISON In Worst Form Cured by
 The Peerless
 ALKANO
Kine of the Blood.

"Alkano Remedy Co.,, Kansas City. Mo. Gentlemen: Three years ago contracted contagious blood poison, took treatment from our best doctors, have taken the mercury and potash treatment and others. After all of this 140 deep sores came on my body, arms, legs and face. My mouth and throat were so sore 1 could not eat nor drink. l had not eaten one bite | for six days and was nearly dead when | the agent for Alkano called to see me. l took a bottle from him, not expect | ing to be benefited, and to my sur prise. in a few days my mouth and
 hroat were healed, and I could eat and drink. 1 have now taken Alkano three weeks and the 40 deep sores are all healed up. l have gained 47 pounds in weight; rheumatism all gone; sleep we'll; can eat six times day. I had stomach trouble when l contracted this disease. Alkano has cured that as well as other troubles.
 "Alkano is a sure blood renovator. Five dollars is cheap for this great remedy. I would advise anyone who has blood troubles to try it. Yours very truly,
 e BEEN F. SPRUILL."
 It is now well recognized that the treatments ordinarily given for thiG disease, based on powerful minerals, are very harmful to the system. They have tendency to deaden the nerve and muscular tissue, especially the former. The result is apt to show mp in later years i'll the form of paralysis, locomotor ataxia, rheumatism, etc. Even blindness sometimes results. This may not occur for many years, but in all cases where these drugs have been taken, the danger always exists. These afflictions, as well as others long considered as after effects of the disease, are now admitted to re- suit not from the disease itself, but from these drugs.
 Then why take these drugs when Alkano is even more certain of curing the disease than they, and never has any evil after effects, but always leaves the system thorouehly cleansed and restored. - Alkano cures all forms of diseases and disorders of the blood.
