SPECIFIC TAXES FOR
STATE INSTITUTIONS
PRES. FUTRELL RECOMMENDS
UNIVERSITY BE PLACED ON
MILEAGE BASIS.

Little Rock, Aug. 19.-There is a
disposition in several quarters to pro-
vide specific tax levies for specific
purposes, just as levies are collected
for the Confederate pensions and the
state capitol. This has been advo-
Gated for some years as the best
means of raising revenues for the
maintenance of the University of Ar
kansas. 1t has been advocated by
President Futrell in his recommends
ton that the school be placed upon a
millage basis. This would obviate
the biennial controversy over the dis
tribution of funds and by providing a
fixed basis would enable the school to
progress normally without depend
ing upon the uncertainty of legisla-
tive caprice.
Petitions are being circulated to
initiate law setting apart one half
of one mill of all state revenues for
the maintenance of the four agricul-
tural schools. This is not the first
year that it has been agitated, but
it is the first time that movement
for it's adoption has crystalized
Whether a millage law for the Uni
versity and the Normal school will be
initiated remains to be seen.

Will RE,ASSfSS
WATER BENEFITS
From Thursdays Daily.

From Thursdays Daily.
The assessors of Waterworks I'M
provement District of Conway have
given notice that on August "a they
will meet for the purpose of revising
the assessment of benefits in the dis
trict. The assessment has not been
revised in two years and during that
time a great many new buildings
have been erected, on which an ad-
ditional tax will be placed. The sur
plus gained in this way will be used
to reduce the assessments of such
property as may have been destroyed
by fire or deteriorated in value, or in
the opinion of the board, may have
been originally assessed too high.
The board of assessors is composed
of j. H. Hartje, W. B, Wilson and
j. H. Bailey.

ONE MILLION DOLLARS
IN PENSIONS ALLOWED
VETERANS OF CIVIL WAR MAY
RECEIVE ONLY 60 CENTS
ON DOLLAR.

Little Rock, Aug. 19.-Notwith-
standing the increased tax-levy for
the payment of Confederate pensions,
which it was thought would be SUI
hcient to pay the veterans 100 cents
on the dollar for the amounts allow
ed, there has been such a heavy ia
crease in the number of penslont RS
that it is estimated not more than 50
or 90 cents on the dollar can be paid.
1t is believed the increase will
amount to about $1,000, bringing the
total number on the rolls up to APP
proximately an aggregate of 10000.
The average pension is 500, so that
it appears there will be a total of
more than one million dollars allow
ed. The increased allowances more
than make up for the deaths that oc-
eur during the year. In a majority
of the cases, veteran pensioner who
dies is survived by his widow, to
whom pension is granted.

CAPITOL JAN|TORS
Will NOT STRIKE
From Thursdays Daily.

From 1nursudy DAiiy.
There will be no strike of the jan
itors employed in the state capitol
And trusty convicts will not be sub
stituted for the free negro labor now
employed there The janitor service
in a building like the capitol is a
very considerable item as compared
with that of the old state house. 1t
costs between 5000 and $1,000 a
month.
Renton Tunnah, the custodian,
made arrangements with bank to
carry warrants of the janitors until
the legislature of 1916 could remedy
the short-sightedness of the session
of 1915. The bank did its duty until
last month, when it announced that
it could do so no longer. 1t looked
like the dirt would have to accumu-
late in the corridors and the spiders
spin their webs over the marble
columns of the capitol, or else resort
to convict labor, which is not looked
upon with favor by a majority of the
state officers. But Mr.. Tunnah found
a friend outside the city who has
agreed to advance the money to carry
the warrants until the legislature
meets, The twenty or more Janitors,
who had not gotten any money IN
about six weeks, were paid, and now
now all are at work, and the columns
and corridors of the capitol are as

This puts ground limestone in reach

Ground limestone is helpful to nearly
all farm lands now in cultivation in

compact lime will loosen; where it is
loose and sandy, lime will ten to
tighten or firm it. Lime is necessary
for all sour soils. 1t is necessary to
grow alfalfa successfully and is high
ly beneficial in growing all crops.
From three to five tons to the acre
should be used. Do not make the
mistake of putting only ton to the
acre to make it go further. Put
enough on a small patch rather than
not enough on a whole field. When
you put a to tons per acre you will
not need more for or years. Any

WEEKLY LETTER OF
JOHN II. PACE
GROUND LIMESTONE ON FARM
LAND.

LAND.
Farmers need be concerned about
but four elements in the soil. They
are nitrogen, phosphorus, potash and
lime. All soils contain enough of the
other elements to make good crop
of any farm crop. The proper pro-
portion and amount of the four ele-
ments mentioned will insure pro-
ductive soil for any farm crop. Such
soils are usually dark or black, and
are what are Immediately recognized
as good soils. A large part of the
lands in our state need more phos-
phorus and lime. Phosphorus can be
added to the soil by applications of
acid phosphate bone meal, ground
rock phosphate, etc. There are nu-
merous beds of rock phosphate in Ar
kansas, but most of it is of low value.
Only one or two beds have been de-
veloped. Tennessee rock phosphate of
a good grade can be obtained.
Lime should be applied by spread
ing the raw ground limestone. 1t can
be obtained from several points in
the state-Rogers, ST. Joe and Rud-
dells. The Arkansas Lime Co., of
Ruddells, make speciality of pre-
pairing ground limestone for farm
use land sell it for about $1.25 ton,
depending upon quality.
Last year l made an effort to get
the railroads to make a lower freight
rate on ground limestone to enable
the farmers to use it, but failed.
Later l took it up with the Railroad
Commission, and they made a rate
that will enable the farmers to ship
and use it. The rate went into effect

1873 KNOWN DEAD
IN TEXAS STORM
PROPERTY DAMAGE Heavy
SEA WALL HOLDS INTACT BUT
CAUSEWAY is PARTLY
DESTROYED.
Special TO the Log Cabin Democrat

speciaA 70 the Log CABIN DeTocrat
Galveston, Tex, Aug. 19.-One
hundred ninety-three persons are
known to have been killed in the
tropical hurricane which struck in
and around Galveston Monday night.
The property loss may reach $1O,-
100000, it was estimated today. The
large sea-wall around the city con-
tinues to hold intact, but the cause
way is totally destroyed. The people
are suffering for water and food.
The entire city is in ruins.
According to information available
last night the deaths were recorded
as follows:
Virginia Point, 80; Texas City, 49,;
Galveston, IA; Morgan's Point, IL;
Sylvan eBach, 8; Houston, 2; Hitch
cock, 7; Laporte, Z; Port Arthur, Al;
Lynchburg, 3; Seabrook, 3.
Property loss estimates were vague
except in a few instances. Houston,
Texas City and Port Arthur advices
gave fairly definite figures for those
place, but most of the other towns
reported in such phases as "consid-
cradle very heavy" and not yet
estimated.
Galveston, $15,OO0,OOO or more;
Houston, 100000; Texas City,
100000; Port Arthur, 100000;
Seabrook, 100000; Sabine Pass,
100000; Sabine, 100000; Kemah,
$4,000.
! In addition there was an enormous
loss to cotton growers, some estimates
stating that % per cent of the crop
of central Texas was destroyed, and
placing the loss at millions of dol
lars"
That the death list did not APP
proach that of the storm of 1900 was
due to two cause.-the strength of
the Galveston sea wall and the haste
with which residents of the costal
plains sought places of refuge as the
result of warnings of the government
weather bureau. Galveston as in
1900, bore the brunt of the storm,
but this year the city was bulwarked,
The storm reached its height there at
g a. m. Tuesday, when the wind rose
to so miles an hour. This was eight
miles more than the weather bureau
recorded the 1900 storm.
