TAX STATUTE IS MONUMENT
 TO DAVID A. GATES
Drew up Act Introduced by Senator Henderson in 1911.-Lage Corpo- ratiOns Fought Act Fiercely.
 Succeeded Reducing Rate

The Franchise Tax statute which was upheld by the Supreme Court of the United States recently, is a monu- ment to David A. Gates, until recently a member of the Arkansas Tax Com mission. This act was prepared by him, with the assistance of F. E.. Brown, another member of the Com mission, though Mr. Gates had started alone two years before and worked out bill which was practically the same, though with lower rate of tax ation.
 When the Supreme Court of the United States declared the Combs franchise tax act to be unconstitution- al as applied to corporations engaged in interestate business, Commissioner Gates took the decision and copies of laws of other states regulating corpo- rations, and with these for a guide, drew up the act introduced by Senator Henderson in 1911. The large corpo- rations fought this fiercely and sue |ceeded in reducing the proposed rate of taxation. This bill provided tax of one twentieth of one per cent on |all foreign or domestic corporations. This act yielded a revenue of $112,50O and had the corporations which con tested paid in, there would have been $125,000 collected annually. This act decreased the taxation on the small corporations. The old Combs act brought but $60,000 per year into the General Re- venue fund It provided tax of $200 on corporations having over $1,- 000,000 in capital stock, the Iron Mountain paying that amount on a capital stock of $44,000,00O.
 In 1913 the Commissioners Gates and Brown prepared the law which has been recently sustained, making the minimum franchise tax $10, and the rate was increased to one ff- teenth per cent on all capital employ ed in Arkansas. This act was intro duced by Representative Armstrong, and Commissioner Gates fought it to adoption. Under this act $1S0,000 per annum is now being added to the Gen. eral Revenue fund This act has add ed $350,000 to thisf und since it was adopted or a similar one to it went into effect. This means that the State would have been that much deeper | in debt but for the Gates measure.

.ppROPRIATION BE ASKED Y FOR STATE CAPITOL COM.
:. Time it Has Happened in Half M n.,eu Sessions of General As semblv.-Could yet Spend
 s25.OOO in Decorations.

,...lo Rock. Dec. 14.-For the first .,o in half dozen sessions of the r,neral Assembly, no appropriation M ,1, he asked for by the State Capitol Ec,nmission, m the building today stand - practically completed. There -s .ssld vet be spent about S25,000 in in sssr;or M decoration, but the Commission .sll not ask the legislature to appro-
 ..,;;o.ta .;.ta as it is not urgent, and the peo- s s,o can we'll get along without it at
 the present time.
 When the legislature convenes the c.nitol will be entirely furnished and
 ,he Capitol fund will be practically ex-
 hspsted. What is left will not be suf-
 deient to do any real work with, and t will be held until the state is in a
 .ond;tion to continue with the work.
 The principal decoration yet to be made is the eight panels of the large dome, in the center of the building. me Capitol Commission has decided to assign these panels to as many cities of the state, to be decorated by thenn. It is planned to have the de- eorative design portray the early his tory of the cities, and in that way make it his torical. The Commission has had no figures upon the cost of this work but it is thought it would cost no more than the decorative work
 n other sections of the building, which has just been completed by Paul M. Heerwagen. This cost $12,- coo, and in letter experimenting the manner in which it was executed, Cass Gilbert, the Capital architect states that it could not have been done else where for less than S25,000.

Says Armed Peace is a Fatal Policy

In the January Woman's Home Companion Charles E. Jefferson, pas tor of Broadway Tabernacle, New York City, writes an interesting war article in the course of which he ex- presses as follows his strong oppo- sition to armaments:
 'In the light of the awful confagra- tion we can see the fallacy of sundry statements which have in certain cir cles been passing as aXioms: In time of peace prepare for war; 'Arma- ments are the surest guarantees of peace These are maxims which have been a thousand times repeated, and multitudes have been beguiled into thinking them words of wisdom. How false and dangerous they are is now made clear. If We want peace, then we must prepare for it. Armaments are a constant menace to the pace of the world Whatsoever a nation sows that shall it also reap. If it sows bayonets, it reaps battles Arm ed peace, therefore, is a fatal policy. Nations that adopt it are doomed. h. cessant preparations for war invite the very catastrophe they are expect ed to ward off. The great war in Flu rope is the outgrowth of the policy of armed peace"

PROOF POSITIVE ENOUGH
 TO SILENCE KNOCKERS

Proof positive enough to silence the most persistent knocker of the pro ject which gave Arkansas four agri- cultural colleges, is shown in a detail ed statement which has been prepared by H. s. Mobley, state president of the Farmers Union. President Mob ley answers the people who claimed these schools would educate the boys and girls away from the farms, but taking page after page from the en- rollment books of these institutions, and showing that over 90 percent of the former students are now engaged either in teaching in rural schools, or in active farm work. Those engaged in neither are in other colleges pre- pairing for life on the farm.
 One page from the Monticello school record shows thirty six students, and all, but one, are either teaching or farming, and this one is trained nurse at Monticello. The list is given in alphabetical order, showing that the names have not been selected at random. The records of the Jones' boro, Magnolia and Russellville schools shows the same, and quite a number are successfully managing large plantations, while several are teaching at the University of lllinios.

 TWO CRUISERS
German Boat Enters Fortified Harbor, Sinks a French and Russian
 Cruiser and Escapes.

TOXIC, Oct. 29.-The German crui- ser Emden, flying the Japanese flag and with an extra smokestack' aboard to disguise her general outline and made to resemble a Japanese cruiser, entered the harbor on Penang Islands near the Malay peninsula. torpedoed a French and Russian cruiser and then escaped. The daring feat of the eGrman cruiser was done under the guns of the forts guarding the straits settlements and yet the fast cruiser escaped.
 The names of the two boats lost by the allies is not known, but 1t is believed they were small vessels.
 The Japanese naval department has sent several big scout cruisers to the Indian ocean in an effort to destroy the Emden, which has already sunk several Japanese freighters. The ships on the Pacific are watching for oth CT eGrman cruisers. which escaped from Kiao Chau when the Japanese declared war.

Hudson Bay Company Will Not Ex. tend Credit Nor Buy Furs
 Because of the War.

VANCOUVER, B. C., Oct. 29.-The Indians of northern Canada face star vation because of the war in Europe. The Hudson Bay Company has cut off all credit to the Indians and half breeds who do the trapping. Fur is almost worthless and the market for skins is closed. The company was at first inclined to buy the furs and place them in cold storage until the war should be concluded, but the lack Of money to carry the big expense in- cidental to such transaction, besides which it is now realized that the war will last for many months and possi- bly years, and that it may be a dec 'ade after the conclusion of peace be- fore furs will be in demand, as the markets of Europe will be closed un- til the peoples of Europe shall have recovered from the financial depres. sion caused by the loss of property and the burden of the war.
 The government is expected to take some action to aid the Indians, who have lived from trapping and know no other means of securing a liveli hood.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 29.-The at- torneys for the Steel Trust today ad mitted that the charge that the con- pany sold steel in Europe for less money than it did to customers in America, but insisted that the Amer ican consumer paid no more for his steel because of that fact
 The attorneys pointed out that ev- cry business will sell to foreign market it's surplus output at a re duced rate, in fact at cost. because the larger the output the greater the possibilities for economy in cost of the raw material, the overhead charges are lowered upon the entire output, the efficiency of the larger corporations is maintained and in many ways the handling of the larger output makes for economy.
 They stated that but for the sales to Europe of the surplus many of the American workmen would be out of employment during the slack sea son with a consequential loss to the people of the United States and also |that the ability of the men is in- creased by constant work and exper- fence and this would be impaired If shut downs were made.
