NEED MORE SUPPLIES
 FOR CHARITY PURPOSES

Christmas has passed and the citi- zens of our town have again shown their public spirit, which always comes to the front when occasions demand, and have responded beautifully to the call of the social service committee of the Conway School and Civic Club, which has enabled the committee to assist every needy person in our city, not waiting to be solicited but have voluntarily visited their homes and furnished food, fuel and clothing that have served to drive the wolf from the doors. While every worthy family has been helped, careful investigations have in all cases been made to prevent imposition, and to see that every dol lar has been we'll spent. On Christ mas Eve the committee sent out seven well-filled baskets of provisions to sev- en destitute families, who would other wise have suffered for the bare neces- sites of life. Since that time the eighth family has been added. This work will have to be continued, and the long winter is still ahead of us. Our supply will soon be exhausted and must be constantly replenished to en- able us to continue our work. Some of those people are on account of sick ness unable to work; others are anxi-

MAKES GOOD LIVING 10
 YEARS ON 3-4 ACRE

As an example of what energetic labor applied to a small amount of soil will do, Rev. R. M. Scott of this city furnishes good instance. Mr. Scott owns an acre of ground fronting on Clifton street and about three quarters of the acre is used as a gar den. On this little patch MT. Scott said today that he and Mrs. Scott had made a good living for the past 10 years. All kinds of vegetables are grown in the garden, the surplus be- ing marketed locally by MT. Scott. He said he had fresh whitehead cabbage out of his garden for dinner today, and that there had not been a day in 10 years, winter or summer, when he could not go to his garden and get some fresh vegetables for his table.

FINANCIAL PROBLEM CONFRONTS SOL0NS VARIOUS PLANS OFFERED TAX COMMISSION APPOINTMENTS SEVERAL SOURCES OF FIX
 IRA INCOME.

Little Rock, Dec. 29-With the early approach of the legislature, there is much interest in law-making circles Tn the solution of the financial prob lems that confront the state. Gov. Hays will devote considerable of the space in his message to the question, 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 propriations-must live within it's means.
 The State Tax Commission, suggest ing new sources of revenues, says the Legislature could pass a law provid- ing for a privilege or excise tax on the gross receipts of places of amuse- ment, such as moving picture shows, theatres, vaudevilles, circuses, etc. It also suggests re-enactment of the statute of 1905 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 a tax on incomes above $3,000 per annum, we see no reason why the state should not also make this a source of revenue, as he who is making money is more able to support the government than he who is not. Hence, We suggest that the incoming legislature submit an amendment to our constitution pro- viding for graduated tax on incomes, making proper allowances for those who have families to support.
 "In this way it is not expected that with this change in our law and rigid the deficit will be covered at once, but economy practiced in all departments and institutions of the state, in the course of a few years the deficit now existing in the states general revenue fund should disappear"

with No. 52, and after considerable litigation, an order of chancery court was made last week restoring No. 93 to its original boundaries. MT. Nc kaskle is the only director of the old district whose term has not expired and it will probably be necessary to hold special election to fill the two other vacancies. He states, however, that several patrons of the district have been without available school fa- cilities for two years, and it is desired to open school immediately, SO he has decided to have temporary repairs made on the building and open school next Monday. It is understood that the directors of No. 52 will not appeal from the decision of the chancery court.

Action Not Permissible
"You were informed March 10,
1914 that the assistant attorney gen.
eral for the post Office department
had held it was not a permissible
addition under the law. and therefore.
rendered the copies unfrankable,
when you stated that about 1000 900

hand-stamped imprint had been mail.
ed by you. ! have to- say that II the
speeches were unsealed, they were
subject to postage at the third rate
which would amount to $1,000; Or,
II sealed they would be chargeable
with postage at the first class rate.
amounting to $4,000. It, therefore.
appears from your statement that
you now owe the government OF the
United States at least. - 900 on ac-
count OF postage chargable on such
copies. II you should continue to
send out copies of your speech hear.
ing such hand.stamped imprint, your
liability to the government would.
Of course, be i%ncrease0 in proportion
to the number Of such copies mailed.
Tn this connection l have. to, ray
that this department is as you know,
charged with the duty of administer.
ing the postal statutes, and in taking
this matter up with you it is merely
IN pursuance Of the duty imposed BY
law. l might add that If it is Your
desire to mail copies with such

procure the printing of 1t In the
Congressional Record, it would then
be frankable, but such fact would
not relieve you OF the liability for the
