then, Is the matter with Intangible
property? There is but one answer;
the rate Is too high. Such property
should be assessed at the ate or 80
cents or 40 cents on 500 as was done
in the states of Pennsylvania, Mary
land and Minnesota. AS economic laws

there is no doubt but what we could

amount of the assessment. For the
same year the Northern Express Co.
was assessed on its North Dakota
property in the sum Of $131, 951, while
it's gross receipts were $98,020.71 OF
TAB per cent of the assessment. The
state auditor could not furnish the
1913 mileage, but for the fiscal year
ending in June, 1913 we find the Great
Northern Express Co.'S gross receipts
to be $146,022. Based on the 1912
mileage (Which does not include the
Fargo-Surrey cut-off) we find the
assessment to be $154,520. In this
case the gross receipts were 87.3 per-
cen of the assessment. Does it not
seem that this class Of property
should be classified in order that it
should be ar more taxes? Such a plan
will be possible. if the proposed con-
%stitution amendment passes.
Who complains of such clasgif1ca-
ton? The bankers most certainly do
not; manufacturers have filed no
protest, and the farmers have no
complaint to offer. So far. the only
objection heard has been RAISED by
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
railway through it's tax commissioner,
Frank J.. Dudley. He delivered an ad-
dress before the National Tax associa-
ton at it's meeting at Buffalo a few
weeks ago in which he declared
against classification. His objection
Is that the railways will be subject to
attack and he Disseminated against.
Our system Of taxation is n of
the past. 1t was, perhaps, a good
system when property was represent
ed by real estate n tangible per-
sonal property. AS above shown,
modern classes Of property, such as
intangibles, escape almost wholly from
taxation and the increased burdens of
government rest more and more
strongly on real estate until we are
drifting toward a tax on land away
from a personal property tax. Our
system has long ago been discarded

The "ofice window" of The Daily

lowing story Of the great German
chancellor. Referring to Alsace-Lor-
raine, which is now such a stormy
topic in Germany, Bismarck once
said: "The French L~orrainers are not
half so bad as they are painted.
Those who are good haters can also
be good lovers. The very first night

whom we should have to pay fewest
taxes I replied that he would have
to pay less to us than to France,
though how long this would last I
could not say" Individual taxation
is now heavier in France than in
Germany. When the chancellor was
made a princeton the day the first
Imperial German parliament met
the old kaiser insisted on his quarter

ADVISES INTERESTED ONE
 TO BE READY BY SATURDAY
Mont gOmery Franchise Will Be Placed on Market Saturday and Will Go to the Highest Bidder-May-
 be Little Rock Will Buy

Little Rock, Oct. 2S.-Advices have been received by those interested in Southern League base ball for Little Rock, to be ready to buy at the meet ing of the league to be held in Bir- mingham Saturday, or forever after wards hold their peace about wanting pany. The advice did not come from Montgomery, but it came in such a manner that there can be no doubt but that the Montgomery franchise will be placed on the market at this meeting, and it will go to the highest bidder that will approve agreeable to the other clubs in the league.
 As Little Rock has been threatening to buy d franchise in the Southern League ever since it disposed of it's franchise to Chattanooga, this city is looked upon as the natural successor to Montgomery. As the other clubs are forcing Montgomery out, because of the small attendance, it is reasoned that the franchise can be purchased for a sum con siderable less than Mont gomery has been placing upon it.
 So far have the Little Rock fans gone in the matter that they have se- cured an agreement from the Rock Is- land railroad to hold it's train any time it becomes necessary for the

WANT PENSIONERS TO HAVE FULL AMOUNT ALLOWED
State Auditor C0ffman FavOrs Legis- latiOn that will Give Confederate Soldiers to Have Not Less
 Than S100.O0.

Little Rock, Oct 28.-State Audi tor l.. L. Cofman recommends legis- lation that will give Confederate pen sioners the full amount of pension al lowed In his biennial report to the governor he says:
 "The reports in the Auditors office show continued increase in Confed- crate Pension roll, and still great CT increase in the revenue derived from the tax levy for Confederate Pensions. The many increases in the amounts allowed the old pensioners, a large number being given increases Tn their allowances to a maximum of S1O0, IS the reason for the amount paid each being far below tho amount allowed. There were on the pension
 roll in 1913 total of 9,824 pensioners, and total of $624, ,O6S.91 available for distribution. In 1914 there were g. 56O pensioners and $645.841, available for distribution and a number of coun- CicS IT, I.le SldtS III f14 increased
 the allowance of each pensioner to S1CC
 q am of the opinion that it was the
 intention of the legislature to allow each pensioner $100 The increase of
 number of pensioners was caused by the Act of the Legislature of 1911
 allowing the widows who had remar-
 ried and their second husbands hay ing died, to have a pension. As a large portion of the states pensioners
 are drawing at the present time an al- lowance at a maximum amount of $100
 per annum, 1 believe the next Leg
 islature should pass a law allowing
 each pensioner now on the roll and
 those who may hereafter be granted
 pension uniform rate of $100.
 Most of the pensioners are old and feeble, and the amount is small
 when they receive less than
 $10O it makes it mere pittance."

ONE OND ONE-HALF MIL
 LION POOL SUBSCRIBED
Members Arkansas Bankers Associa- tion Tn Called Session at Little Rock Yesterday Subscribe to
 Purchase 5,000,OOO Bales.

Little Rock, Oct. 28.-Over $1 ,5OO,- 900 to the cotton pool by which it Is planned to have the banks of the United States, under the National Re- serve Board, purchase and retire D. OO0,O00 bales of cotton from the mar ket, thus boosting the price on the remainder of the crop, was subscribed by State banks and trust companies at the called meeting of the Arkansas Bankers Association, which was held In Little Rock Tuesday,
 A resolution was adopted commend ing the plan and pledging each bank ing institution that holds membership Tn the organization, to subscribe two per cent of it's gross assets, and urg- ing the warehouse and compress con- panies to use a uniform warehouse re- ceipt which will be adopted by the national reserve board. It was af- ter the adoption of this resolution that the bankers signed the pledge and an other S1,000,000 will be added by the bankers who were not present at the meeting.
 George R. Rogers, president of the state association, who has just re- turned from New York where he dis cussed the plan with the members of the reserve board, presided over the meeting and gave the 150 bankers present the advantage of the informa- tion he received. There was practi- cally no opposition to the resolution, for the bankers felt that no matter where the cotton was purchased it would force the price of cotton every where up, and the same end would be gained as though the cotton was pur- chased in this state. It was also evil dent that Arkansas would not be slighted in the purchase of cotton which is to form the pool.
 It is planned by the Federal Reserve Board that $135,OOO,OOO will be raised $50, ,000,000 among the bankers of New York, S50,000,000 in non-cotton grow ing states and the balance in South. The cotton growers will then be loaned on this cotton at the basis of six cents per pound, at 6 per cent interest. The borrowers are required to pay 3 per cent of the amount paid them into guarantee fund. From this the ex- penses of handling the loans, which will not exceed Is of the l per cent, and the balance is to insure losses on loans. When the loans are finally re- tired, the balance in the guarantee fund is to be distributed pro rata among the borrowers.
 The wholesale merchants and oth- CTS of Arkansas will raise another $2,- 000,000, so that Arkansas will be one of the first states to respond to the call, and it will pay in as much, or more, than any other state, in ac- cordance to the wealth.
