TIE MONROE COUNTY TAX SKELETON

There's no getting around the fact that some day, some way the tax payers of Monroe Coun- ty MUST PAY the debt they owe and take up the warrants that have been issued for the building of the new court house etc.
 The order of the U. s. Court of Appeals instructlng | n e Assessor to assess t he taxes ot Monroe County at a full dollar for dollar valuation basis, and recurring this tax to be leVled and collected may be reversed by the highest court and the agony" stayed off while we are waiting for the case to be appealed but it is dead sure thing that Monroe County IS go- ing to have to redeem the out standing warrants. and pay the debt sooner or later.
 Some dozen years a 2 c after a profligate administration of county financial affairs, a condition much the same as the present, was met and disposed of by the united effort of a few of our good citizens, co-operat- ing with the County Administra- ton with that end in view.
 There's no use of kicking on the causes nor those who were responsible for it. It's a con- dition now that has to be met and the sooner it is done the better for every tax payer Tn Monroe county.

FROM LITTLE ROCK
A Cosby News Letter From the Capitol City
BY A. w. PARKE

Little Rock. May 5-Quite Q novel idea for the selection ot lagislatOrs has come from a n inlnnd source. It would provide : conStitutional amendment for the reduction of compensation for legislators to $100 per day or even less.
 It is argued that by eliminat- ing the per diem, the man who offers as a candidate for the compensation alone, will be eliminated and will be succeeded by a more patriotic person who will serve his state for patriotic reasons.
 The proposer of the new idea suggests that it is this class of men'ofred by patriotism, who will be brought out to serve their country, and $6 per day not being compensation for them, they will serve the state gratis. but they will be a short time in winding up the affairs of the legislative session.
 IT can now b definitely stated, as near so as 1t can be for any prospective candidate ten months before a primary. that J. w. Crockett of Arkansas County. will be a candidate for governor in the primary to be he1d next March. MT. Crockett has admitted as much and IS now only awaiting what he con- siders the proper time to make the announcement.
 "I will not be the candidate of any faction, and if elected, will % into the office with hands un- eettered," Mir. Crockett has stated after a recent trip oyer a good portion of the state. T never received so much en- couragement in any of my races, as in the one now to be run. :"
 This makes it certain there will be three candidates. Earle w. Hodges. Dr. c. H. Brough and J. w. Crockett with Gov. Geo. w. Hays as a possibility, but not by no means a certainty. He is very reticent about his political plans, but the action of some of his most staunch sup porters in soliciting T. A. Carraway, of Jonesboro, to be- come a candidate. would indicate that he has other plans. Repre- sentative Carraway was visited

First Cattle In North America.

In 1493, on his second voyage to this country, Columbus brought bull and several cows for the use of the colony that had been established in Haiti This was undoubtedly the first importation of cattle to America and 1t Is certain that no kind of cat tie were indigenous here. Later Span ish explorers brought over other cat tie and they soon began to multiply in South America. Wild cattle were numerous in South America before they were known in North America.

NlOdtC- (AO iitci MI. Sdtl dWo is said to have looked with favor upon the proposition, but when the visitors began to suggest things they might expect in case of his election, the ardor of the Jonesboro statesman began to cool, and it cannot be definitely stated that h e will seek re- election to Congress and side step the gubernatorial office at this time.
 J. Marion Futrell, f Para gould, has about convinced his friends that his family does not need a governor for it's head. J. c. Floyd, of Melville, has not indicated what he intends to do. but close friends have intimated that he will remain in private life for a year or so and get a good rest after his many stren- uous years in Congress.
 in two weeks the Popular Dollar Subscription Campaign, which is being waged to raise funds with which to maintain the Arkansas buildidg at the Panama-Pacifc Exposition, has netted the Commission nearly .$1000, with more to be reported. The Flying Squadrons will com plete Little Rock this week, where 1000 will surely be raised in the SI subscriptions.
 Feeling out the pulse of citi- zens of towns over the state, one member of the committee handling this subscription fund, last week visited Lonoke, Hazen, Carlisle. Brinkley, Forrest City, Jonesboro, Clarendon and Stutt- gart, and such enthusiastic SUD- port was given that it is certain the desired amount will b e raised.
 Prominent business men of Little Rock are conducting this campaign, being assisted by a number o I young business women of the city, who will compose, for the most part, the Flying Squadron.
 At Lonoke, tWenty-seven citi- Zens contributed to the cause. Mrs. Neal Fletcher assisted the committeeman here, and did noble work. In Carlisle ten citizens hearkened to the call. Miss Lola Bowman was the chief cause of the Hazen list showing thirteen subscriptions. Brinkley contributed fourteen, Editor ". B. Folsom assisting in the one hour canvass of the city. TWenty-siX at Forrest City anXiously placed their names on that list. Misses Mann and Davis were largely responsible for the large list here. In Jonesboro Mrs. Herbert Parker and Miss Martha Collins spent only a portion of the day in raising $66. Clarendon gave $9, Miss Seals visiting the business men there. Louis Buerkle, the pleasant post master at Stuttgart in one hours time raised $32 for the committee on the dollar subscriptions. Thus, in four days, one member of the committee raised S200. As t h e other members are equally alert, it is expected that at least $1, GOO per week will be raised until the desired amount is reached.
 In one town a merchant paid $3 very cheerfully for the suc- cessful work of the committee man in getting a dollar out of a citizen who would contribute to nothing. In other towns sub- scriptions have been made con- tigent upon a donation being securrd from some backward giver, but in every instance the supposed .Sbtfisted citizen has required less argument than some others.
