ATTORNEYS
ARE ENTITLED TO FEE
Attorney General Moose Declares Pro-
secutOrs are Entitled to Fee for
Each Conviction on a Cri-
minal Charge.

Under the Arkansas statute pro-
scouting attorney is entitled to the
prescribed fee of $25 for each convic-
tion on criminal charge, for each
count of an Indictment.
County Judge M. f. Vinson of Gle
burne county, wrote that there were
three indictments each containing two
counts, for forgery and for uttering
and pleas of guilty were entered to
all. Attorney general Moose holds
that this would be entitled to $25 each.
81 do not think it would be mater
ial," says the Attorney general whe-
ther all the judgments were entered
up in one order or whether six sepa-
rate judgments were entered. The
prosecuting attorney is entitled to a
fee for each conviction, and as | con-
strue it in the case you mention, there
were six convictions.
"The defendant in this case is sup
posed to be serving six sentences for
six separate felonies. If the prose-
cutting attorney is entitled to one fee
it seems to me he is entitled to six.
This same opinion has been given
by the Supreme Court in the case of
Hampstead County VS. McCollum. In
that case the defendant entered plea
of guilty to an indictment charging
him in two separate counts with burg
larry and grand larceny. The court
held that the plea of guilty to both
counts followed by sentence of the
court, constituted two convictions for
which the prosecuting attorney was
entitled to fee of $25. each"

GRAND TOTAL STATE
TAX is $449, ,113,26O
Pulaski County Pays Nearly Twelve
Per Cent. Total Shows Increase
of $23, 544, 413 Over the
Year of 1912.

Little Rock April 4.-According to
statistics just compiled by the State
Tax Commission, the county of Pulas
XII pays taxes on very nearly twelve
per cent of the total assessed valua
tlon of the whole state of Arkansas.
The total valuation for the state is
S449, 13, ,260, and that of Pulaski Co.
is $44,011,3 1926. The total for the state
in 1912 was $425, $685. 1853, the increase
therefore being $23, 3,544,413.
There are some interesting things
revealed by an analysis of the assess
ment abstracts returned by the county
assessors. One of these is the great
diversity of valuations in the various
counties. For instance, the land val
uations are the lowest in Van Buren
county, where the average is 1922
per acre, while the highest is in the
Fort Smith district of Sebastian coun
ty, where the average is $62.57 per
acre. This, however, is abnormal, due
to local conditions, as the highest
aside from this is an average of $9.S9
IN Mississippi county. and $9.S9 in
Crittenden.
The highest assessment of horses
is $50 a head in Cleburne, and the
lowest is $29 in Craighead; the high
est assessment of mules is $73 in Chi
cot, and SAL in Fulton; the highest
assessment of cattle is S160S in Ran
.dolph, and the lowest $5.SS in Gar
land.
There are only five watches in Crit
tenden county, but they are very val
liable, being assessed at $40; in the
same county there are seven pianos,
assessed at S640.
In Pulaski there are 1915 watches,
assessed at S45,720, and 17O1 pianos
assessed at $94, ,555.
There were 374,01l polls assessed,
as compared with 267,199 for the pre-
ceding year

The government takes the position

Pending the completion OF the in

that Turkey may be holding up mes

The only notification regarding the

News Results In Good Inquiry
In Wall-st. for High Grade
Issues
NO NEED OF POOL TO
ATTRACT PURCHASERS
Reason Is That Banks Are Max
ing Large Offerings Of Both
Call And Time Money
tCopyright 1913, by the New York
Evening Post Co.,,

Evening Post Co..
NEW YORK, Nov 25-Indications
pointed TO Ia successful resumption OF
bohd-trsding on Saturday under the
terms OF the resolution adopted by the
stock exchange governors yesterday.
Tie news that the exchange would
reopen for bond-trading brought. a
good deal of business from out-of-town
points to the large Wall-st. houses
which have done little or no business
since August
There were indications OF fairly
good investment support. There was
good inquiry today for the high
grade issues. and. although the busi-
ness did not come up to that often
seen at this time of year IT was evi-
dent that a good many investors had
been attracted by the news that the
exchange would reopen for business
even on a limited scale.
IL was evident that there was no
need Of a money pool being formed
to make advances to purchasers OF
bonds. The chief reason why this
was not necessary was that the banks
made large offerings Of both call and
time money, SO that II was possible 10
obtain almost any loans today for 1-2
per cent. That rate was named for
most of the accommodation applied
for, and II was clear that borrowers
wero at last getting the upper hand
IN the loan market Not much money
was offered here by out-of.town lend
ers, but such as was put out was at
the low rate OF the day.
