Compulsory Law to Be Enforced.


 The State Department of Education is sending throughout the state cir cular letter written by H. B. Thorn, county superintendent of schools of Poinsett county, to the school boards Of the county, calling attention to a letter from Prosecuting Attorney M. P. Huddleston of Paragould. MT. Hud- dleston announces that he will see to the strict enforcement of the compul- sory school law in his district. The law makes it crime for parents to wilfully neglect and refuse to compel their children to attend school" He says: An educated citizenship is the very foundation of good government and the state can afford to spend a large amount of money in compelling the education of it's children which will constitute the future citizenship of the state"
 Calling attention to this, Superin- tendent Thorn says: You will notice he says that iG is his intention to en. force the compulsory attendance laws in the schools, and I am constrained to believe he is very correct and that all good citizens will uphold him in his efforts,
 And then he adds, Reading be tween the lines, 1 believe MT. Huddle- ston aims to start something in the next grand jury"

REPUBLICAN SENATORS WILL OPPOSE THE ADMINISTRATION
 COMMERCE MEASURE.

 Cannct Be Purchased.

Washington.-Gov purcnase of ships as proposed in the admins tration bill to create a shipping board, finance a S1O,0OO,0OO shipping corpora tion and eXpend not to exceed S30.000,- 900 for the purchase or charterlng of ocean carriers is the foremost issue before Congress.

 Minority members of the Commerce Committee filed report, asserting that the plan would not relieve ship ping conditions because it would be impossible to get ships enough to do any good.
 This is one of the measures upon which President Wilson is insisting

Suggests Income Tax for State.

The State Tax Commission, suggest ing new sources of revenues, says the Legislatures could pass a law provId- ing for privilege or excise tax on the gross receipts of places of amuse- ment, such as moving picture shows, theaters, vaudevilies, circuses, etc." It also suggests a re-enactment of the statute of 1905 providing for the tax ing of rolling stock of private car com. panies 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 federal government now collects a tax on ill. comes above S3,000 per annum, we see no reason why the state should not al so make this 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 in coming Legislature submit an amendment to our constitution pro viding for a graduated tax on incomes, making proper allowances for those who have families to support.
 Tn this way it is not expected thet the deficit will be covered at once, but with this change in our law and rigid economy practiced in all departments and institutions of the state, in the course of few years the deficit now existing in the states general reve- nue fund should disappear"
