Thousand Silos In Arka hnsas.

Commissioner Page reports that there are now more ths4 4n a thousand silos in Arkansas, there being over one hundred in Washington and Ben ton counties. "The long Icontinued dry weather has had a serio hs effect upon the corn crop" declared MT. Page, "and many farmers who have depend ed upon their corn of early planting to fill their silos will be disappointed. However, corn planted the first week of July, if it is of an early-maturing variety, will make ill time to be used for silage. Immature corn does not make as good silage as the mature, yet it will make good feed. Seed of ts..x Sooa Qcl eorday yanibty should be pl5lnted at this n late t,,Ss 'ay1 ,,,, as soy-btans, CT cbveF when nixN,d with paea vines or s,y beans. Alfalts may also be used with clover and peas. There being a short crop in most sections on account of the drouth, it is impd drtant to gt the silos filled, even though it be nsces sary to resort to some bf the othel crops in part or in whole Ito do it. Al empty silo is a heavy tai on farmr."

SHIPPING MELONS TO NORTH
Prescott Crop 10 Days Early and the
 Yield Will be Very Large.

Prescott.-The first shipment of cantaloupes from farms along the Pres cott and Northwestern Railroad was made to St Louis Saturday. The ship mSnt consisted of 65 crates, which will net thep Shippers aDUs--yyg1 i-e--- crate in St. Louis. While the crop is large this year the cantalouhes are small on account of the drouth the rains which fell during the last few days coming too late to benefit the crop. It is estimated that more than 300 carloads of cantaloupes will be shipped from this section.
 The managers of the peach or chards at Highland, Blevins and Bel ton have lowered their estimates on the number of cars of peaches to be shipped this season. The orchard of which Bert Johnson is manager will not yield more than 125 cars, while only a week ago MT. Johnson estimated the crop to be about 200 cars. Peaches will be ripe enough to ship in about eight days, while the cantaloupe crop ripened about 10 days earlier this year than heretofore. During past years expert packers have had charge of the packing at the big orchards st Highland, but this year only a few packers will be secured from Florida. and local packers will have charge of most of the packing.

COMPULSORY LAW
 PRODUCES A ROW
JONESBORO CITY COUNCIL PRO- VokEs SCHOOL BOARD BY
 ITS ACTION.
RESENTS "INTERFERENCE"
Accuses Council of Suffering from Overestimation of Ability and Ex-
 aggerated Notion of Power"
Western Newspaper Union News Service,

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Jonesboro.-The city council framed a resolution, which was sent to the local school board, requesting list of all children not attending schools and stating that the council would take action for enforcement of compulsory education.
 The school board, resenting what it termed interference, attacked the ad- ministration, saying:
 Your resolution states that the city council deems it a part of its duty to extend it's offices to the enforcement of the compulsory education law for the reason that children are permitted by delinquent parents to waste their time upon the streets and other places where their minds are observant of vice and corruption only
 We confess with shame that there is much vice and corruption in our city, but we did not expect you to ac- knowledge the fact with such frank ness, or to offer gratuitiously to an other branch of the city government your surplus law-enforcing energy.
 Tn view of the fact that your action has justly provoked the expression we feel jutified in saying that we have, at no time, suspected you of being able to fulfill the duties of the position to which you have been elected, and we feel confident that this opinion is shared by large number of the citi- Zens of the city
 Your resolution was possibly adopt ed in good faith, but we must con- clude that at the time Of it's adoption you were suffering from an over esti- nation of ability and an exaggerated notion of your prerogativec. Let us advise you to bend your whole efforts toward correcting the conditions that you -poIIlC out anI dCknUWfeuse. '. see that there are no places of vice and corruption for our children to look upon, but until you have placed your own house in order we suggest that you give your time and attention to your own business

 Washington.-Am to the regulations for the protection of mi gratory birds have been proposed by the United States Department of Ag- rieulture to take effect as soon as the three months notice required by law has expired. This will be on October 1, 1914. In the meantime. copies of the regulations can be obtained from the Biological Survey of the depart ment.
 The effect of d.e Of these changes is to permit, on t5e Missouri and the apper watersEo1ethe Mississippi the shooting of alF xratory game birds for v s.ch. tsziv sg2na,- eaaaQu ycm October I, 1914, to January l, 1915. After the latter date the prohibition will be in force again. Other amend ments deal principally with the closed season for wate1 fowl in various To- calities.

NEW CONSTITUTION
 GROWS POPULAR
BELIEF GROWING STRONGER THAT CONVENTION WILL
 BE CALLED IN 1915.
PARTY HAS DECLARED FOR IT
Many Propositions That Come Before the People BiennialIy for Amend
 ment to the Organic Law.
Newspaper Union News Service.

 Little Rock.-The belief is growing stronger that constitutional conven- tion will be held in the summer of 1915, following the session of the leg islature.
 It was recommended by the last Democratic state convention, the first time it has gotten that far and the sentiment for it is rapidly crystaliz- ing.
 The Department of Education, which has been working for several months on an initiative petition for an amend ment permitting an increase in the maximum levy for school purposes, to be voted on in the election of Septem- Der, 1916, is undertaking to push the measure so that it will be possible to submit a large petition to the consti- tutional convention, should one be called.
 The efforts of the people to arrive at more satisfactory basis of con- pensation for the members of the leg
  vision of the organic law. In 1912 ali amendment was adopted limiting the sessions to 60 days, but this did not prove entirely satisfactory, and now the people have under consideration for the September election another amendment, submitted by the legis- lature itself, placing the legislators upon a biennial salary, and permitting them to remain in session as long as they wish.
 Again, for the third time the pro- posed amendment removing the re- strictions against the issuance of municipal bonds is to be submitted to the people at the September cleo tion. Progressive business men agree that cities and towns should have the power. when authoE{zed{by a majority i Of the citizens, unoer proper feslTIG- tions and safeguards, to issue bonds for the purpose of making general public improvements. For this req son, the Greater Arkansas Associa- tion, representing the cities, towns and commercial bodies of the state, are urging the adoption of Amendment No. IA.
 There are many subjects that come up at every session of the legislature that come within the scope of consti- tutional enactment, but under the law, only three amendments can be sub- mitted at any one time, and this ire quently illustrates the people in their desire to achieve needful legislation l All these and many other conditions make it almost a certainty that con, l stitutional convention will be called, and should this be done, the greater part of the twelve months of 1915 will be spent in legislation in Little Rock Should the legislative salary amend ment prevail in September, tae Gen eral Assembly would not conclude its work in two months, as it did last year, and soon afterward would fol low the constitutional convention which would take several months in all probability.

FRANCHISE TAX
 REPORTS DELAYED
MORE THAN A THOUSAND COR PORATlONS HAVE FAILED TO
 MAKE THEIR RETURNS.
NO PENALTY IS PRESCRIBED
All Corporations, However, That Fail to Pay the Tax will Be Subject
 to 25 Per Cent Penalty.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Little Rock
 More than 1000 corporations doing business in Arkansas have failed to comply with the state law requiring them to make a franchise tax report to the State Tax Commission. There Is no penalty for failure to make the report, but the corporation which neg lects to pay the franchise tax on or before August 10 will be liable to a penalty of 25 per cent of the tax.
 ''Act 122 ef the Acts of 1913" said Ed Stanley, secretary of the Tax Com mission, requires the Tax Commis- sion to mail to each corporation do- ing business in the state a blank on which to make the franchise tax re port These blanks were sent out by this office May l, and the complete report should have been filed with us by June l.
 We have just certified to the state auditors office a list of the cor porations that have made the report corporations a post card showing the amount of the tax, which is payable between July 10 and August 10.
 Tn comparing the list certified to this year with that for last year, the Tax Commission finds that more than 1000 corporations which paid the tax last year have failed to make report thus far for this year. All corpora tions authorized to do business in the state prior to August 1, are required to file the franchise tax report and pay the tax.
 "All corporations which fail to file the report and pay the tax will be liable to a penalty of 25 per cent of the ts to be collected through the offices ay the attorney general"

Cannot Fix Switching Charges.

Cannot Fix Switching Charges.
 At the final session of the town switching rate hearing before Judge J. G. Wallace, special master, de. cision was handed down in the case of the Arkansas Brick and Manufac. turing Company and the Big Rock Stone and Construction Company against the Iron Mountain railroad Judge Wallace deciding in favor of the railroad and relieving it of payment of claims of overcharge in switching rates.
 The claim was for $14,42S over- charge in switching charges, the move ments being for short distances for which no regular way bill was made. The rate and amount of overchargs was obtained by tue claimants from the rates made by the Arkansas Rail- road Commission.
 The principal question involved was the right of the Railroad Commission to establish the basis or rate of switch ing charges. This, Judge Wallace de- cided, was not within the power of the commission. In this decision Judge Wallace followed an opinion delivered last fall by Judge Jacob Trieber.
 The section of the statutes of Ar kansas covering the case gives the commission the power to make rates on freight moved from one place to another Judge Trieber decided that this clause means from one station to another on the roads, and not from one place to another at the same station.
