The Fortieth General Assembly
went on record most emphatieally
against the policy of extending the
time for the payment of taxes. Three
bills for this purpose were defeated
by the house, one of them, a general
bill, after it had passed the Senate.
The first bill was one that had
been vigorously championed by Rep
resentative Brawner of Clay county
to extend the time of tax paying in
his county from April 10 to Novem-
Der 10. He lost at every point, al
though he made a hard fight for the
benefit Of his constituents
Then came the bill which had
passed the Senate, providing for an
extension of time all over the state.
This was also badly beaten. AS a
last resort, the representatives of In
dependence, lizard, Fulton, Sharp,
Jackson, Clay, Randolph, Green, Law
renee, Howard, Nevada, Prairie and
Monroe introduced a bill to apply to
their counties alone. This had rough
passage through the legislative break
ers. 1t provided that those who ask
ed for an extension of taxes should
pay the state 10 per cent for the time
extended after April 10. In the final
contest Messrs. Gray, Rogers Of De-
sha and Brawner supported the bill,
Mr.. Rogers explaining that as Mr.,
Gray had been one Of the first to
come to the relief of eastern Arkansas
counties during the overflow period
Of 1898, he favored giving the hill
counties the relief sought. Messrs.
Griffin and Belote opposed the bill,
Mr.. Griffin on the ground that 1t is
class legislation and Mr. Beote be-
cause he believed it did not provide
for protection to the common school
fund but would make the other Coun-
ties support this fund for the ex-
empted counties. The bill was final.
ly defeated, SO to A. and with 1t the
last chance of any sort of taXpaylng
extensions or exemptions for this ses.

er, as a great many low-growing wild
flowers are called daisies, Many va
rieties are cassed as weeds
In fact, the ox-eyed daisy which is
plentiful all through New England and
some Of the northern states, is called

The chrysanthemum and wild as
ters are called daisies and really be-

While it would not be possible per-
haps to have a daisy hedge in bloom

DAISIES ALL YEAR ROUND

In the mild climate of California and
some Of the southern states, daisies
bloom all the year around. In Cali
fornia these flowers grow very much
larger than those Of the East, as do
all Pacific coast flowers; but they
seem to lack brllliancy, and to many
persons are not as satisfactory
In the colder climates Of course, It
is impossible to keep daisies bloom
ing every month; but by planting diff
ferent varieties some of them may be
kept blooming the entire summer The
daisy is really not domesticated flow

"rt is a poor mans field wnere

geologist OF Arkansas, after having
'7,ont civ weeks investigating the geo

mines IN the North Arkansas zinc ols-
trict -.
"The ore beds" said Mr.. Fuller are
radically different from those OF tne
Southwest Missouri district. In that
district there is blanket formation
of sheet ground much Of which re-
turns but a small metal content, but
which covers large areas. The ArKahr
sas district will probably not develop

than large ones. Success can best De
obtained with numerous small units
rather than by fewer larger ones on
account of the irregularity OF the ore
deposits. At places these deposits are
exceedingly rich, at others lean Whne
the average recovery is good, a mill
ing cost should not be- entailed on the
real lean dirt Sorting Of all ore

will not return a good recovery should
not be milled as it costs as much to

ITO practical men this district Of
fers a wonderful opportunity on acS
count of the small expense involved
in opening up the ore deposits. In a
great many instances the ore Is found
in free chunks that require no milling,
but is marketable in the same shape
as it comes from the ground. These

SAYS SEA ORDER
VIOLATES TREATY
Wilson and Cabinet Draft Reply to
Germany-Pact Protects Com
merce.

Washington, Feb. 22.-In note
drafted by the cabinet at momentous
meeting at the White House on Fri
day, President Wilson will tell Ger
many that the war zone" decree is in
violation of treaty stipulations en-
tered into with the United States,
which guarantee to the United States,
noninterference with it's sea commerce
when Germany is at war, and which
grant the same privileges to Germany
when the United States is belliger-
ent.
The treaties. specifically set forth
that If either nation is at war the neu-
trail nations commerce and inter
course with any nation at war with
the other party to the treaty shall
not be interrupted" and ION the con-
trary'' "the vessels of the
neutral party may navigate to and
from the ports and on the coasts Of
the belligerent parties"
The first treaty, to which the at
tention of Germany will be drawn. Is
that made under the direction of
Frederick the Great, and signed by
his representative and by Benjamin
Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and John
Adams.
The second treaty is that signed by
John Quincy Adams and the repre-
sentatives of the king of Prussia.
Both these treaties expired by their
own limitation, the first in 1896, the
second in 1910. But the provisions
which guarantee immunity to Ameri-
can ships and American citizens, and
which the government authorities in
sist apply in the present instance,
were continued by the treaty of 1928.
