R. D. Foster, farmer at Ingleside, Jackson county, writing the Agricul- tural Commissioner Page, reports that by deep breaking and shallow cultiva- tion last season he made an average of one bale per acre, and two bales per acre on some of his land.

SEEKING SOLUTION OF
 STATES FINANCES
Governor Hays Will Devote Much of Message to Question and Various Departments State Govern
 ment Offering Suggestions

Little Rock, Dec. 29.-With the early approach of the Legislature there is much interest in law-making circles in the solution of the financial problems that confront the state. Gov. Hays will devote considerable of the space in his message to the ques- tion, and the various departments of the state government are offering sug- gestions in their biennial reports. The gist of it all is that the state must get more revenue and make smaller appropriations,-must live within its means.
 The State Tax Commission, suggest ing new resources of revenues, says the Legislature could pass a law pro- viding for a privilege or excise tax on the gross receipts of places of amuse- ment, such as moving picture shows, theaters, vaudevilles, circuses, etc." 1t also suggests a re-enactment of the statute of 1915 providing for the tax ing of rolling stock of private car companies in addition to the privilege or excise tax now provided by the act of 1909.
 On the subject of an income tax, the Commission says: "While the Fed eral Government now collects tax on incomes above S3000 per annum, we see no reason why the state should not also make this source of revenue as he is making money is more able to support the government than he who is not. Hence we suggest that the in- coming Legislature submit an amend ment to our constitution providing for graduated tax on incomes, mak- ing proper allowances for those who have families to support.
 "In this way it is not expected that the deficit will be covered at once, but with this change in our law and rigid economy practiced in all depart ments and institutions of the state, in the course of few years the def- cit now existing in the states gen eral revenue fund should disappear"
