HELP OUT TAXPAYERS
Bill Rushed Through Legisla-
lature to Extend Payment
to March First Without a
Penalty.

The legislature has FASTENED
the making of law that will
tend to help out the taxpayer by
extending the time of payment
of taxes to March 1st without a
penalty.
The legislature of 1913 passed
an act providing that all taxes
not paid by January 31st would
be subject to a penalty of two
per cent. The bill just passed
gives to city councils and town
and village boards the right to
extend the time to March 1st by
a resolution supported by a two
thirds vote of the council or
board.
The town board of Eagle River
has extended the time limit on
payment of taxes to the first of
next month.

ROBINSON LOOKING

Junior Senator Visits Little Rock
and Places His Ear Close to

Little Rock, March 1S.-United
States Senator Joe T. Robinson, aft
er spending few days in Little
Rock, departed yesterday afternoon
for Lonoke, where he will visit rel
atives. Senator Robinson is watch
ing the political mixup in this state
with considerable interest, as he
is to stand for reelection in the
primaries to be held two years from
next March. If all the men men
toned in connection with his op-
position shy their caster in the
field the prospects for encompassing
his defeat will be very slim indeed.

better chanc he has of being his
own successor. This invariably ap-

HARRY MCPHERSON
is HERE ON VISIT
Former Postmaster Comes From
Cape Girardeau to PAY Taxes.

(From Thursdays Daily Press)
Harry Mcpherson, former post
master here, interested in the Para
gould Steam Laundry and the own
er of some fine lands in Greene
county, arrived last night from
Cape Girardeau to spend today and
tomorrow in the city paying his
taxes and greeting his old friends.
Harry, though residing at Cape Cir
ardeau, still claims an honorary cit
izenship in Greene county. At the
Stancill hotel he registered CITY"
instead of Cape Girardeau. Para
gould lost her livest booster when
Mcpherson left here last year to
take charge of a laundry in the
Cape and the people here have
nursed a lingering hope that he
would return to Paragould and
again make this city his home.
Mr.. Pherson and his wife recently
returned from a five weeks trip to
California where they took in the
expositions at San Diego and San
Francisco. Mcpherson says the ex-
positions are great all right, but
that the Californians are the most
monumental liars on the face of the
golbe, and that they have over
advertised their attractions.

JACkALL BROTH A
PALATABLE DIET
Camel Flesh, However, Not Favored
in the Western World.

Camel flesh does not strike the
western palate as a delectable dish,
but it certainly seems preferable
to jackal Yet there are parts of
Morocco, we are told by a French
visitor, where jackal broth is highly
esteemed as a table delicacy. A
friendly sheik dissented vehemently
when it was intimated that as jack
ais feed on carrion. the broth must
have a horrible flavor 'It is only
question of knowing how to pre-
pare it," he said. "You put the
jackal, skin and all. for two hours
into vessel of boilin gwater, then
transfer it to another vessel. This
process is repeated three times. Aft
er ten hours boiling in five differ
ent waters the carrion flavor disap-
pears and the broth is delicious. -

TWO STATES MAY

Arkansas and Tennessee Hope to
Put an End to Sale of Liquor
on Mississippi Steamboats,.

Memphis, March 17.-Indication
are that excursion boats this sum
mer will do an excursion business

on Mississippi river boats which
proved a bonanza last year will not
be continued.
The prosecuting attorney on the
Arkansas side has gotten busy and
the boats have had to close their
bars when running on that part of
the river where Arkansas has juris-
diction. Memphis steamboats, men
have paid several fines in Critten-
den county recently.
The Arkansas legislature has
passed law giving Tennessee joint
criminal jurisdiction with Arkansas
on the Arkansas part of the Missis-
sippi, and Governor Rye in a mes
sage has urged the legislature to
follow suit as to Tennessee waters
Excursion boats will be plentiful,
however, as the Lee line is going
to put an excursion boat on as a
reply to the excursion men who
have recently put the St. James
and other boats into competition

GIVEN PERMISSION

May Charge Three Cents.

Little Rock, March 17.-The
Jonesboro, Lake City & Eastern
railroad, operating through Missis-
sippi and Craighead counties, was
granted permission by the Arkan-
sas' railroad commission to charge
3 cents a mile for passenger fares.
The order becomes effective March
%, and will remain in effect, un-
less revoked, until June 80, 1916.
This road, like other Arkansas rail-
roads, has been governed by the 3

of the legislature the railroad COM
mission was authorized to grant the
increase.

3 BOYS ARRESTED
FOR SWIPING AUTO
Indulged in Joy Ride in Ben Wes-
sons Machine Sunday Night.

Fred Burnett, Elvis Slaughter
and Asa Justice, three young boys,
are under arrest charged with ma
licious mischief for entering Ben
Wesson's garage and taking his
automobile out Sunday night. 1t
is understood two of the boys have
confessed their guilt, while the
third still insists he is innocent of
the charge. Their cases will come
up before Esq A. B. Hays Friday
morning. Last summer many auto
owners complained that boys were
taking their machines out at nights
and diligent efforts were made by
the officials to apprehend those
guilty of this form of mischief. In
one or, two instances the culprits
were caught and punished, but in
majority of cases the offenders
eluded arrest.

HAYS SHES AT
EXTRA SESSION
Thinks Legislature Had Plenty of
Time to Provide for Charitable
Institutions.

Little Rock, March 17.-Gover-
nor Hays stated yesterday that un-
der no circumstances would he
convene the legislature in special
session. He said the legislature
had every opportunity during the
past 60 days of arranging the
states finances, and if they did not
give the people the needed relief
it is not his fault, and he could see
no reason why the legislature would
change front even if he did convene
them in extraordinary session. The
governor feels satisfied that he will
be in position to finance the state
charitable institutions until the
meeting of the next legislature. He
now has in his possession a num-
ber of appropriation bills passed by
the legislature, and it is expected
that he will do considerable prun-
ing before releasing the bills. The
appropriations for the four agricul-
tural schools were made in a lump
sum of $4,000 for each, and there
is no possible way in which the
governor can reduce the amount,
because there are no items in the
bills that can be eliminated unelss
he vetOes the entire sum.

ASKS SHERIFFS
TO ARRANGE FOR
EARLY PAYMENTS
Auditor Dickinson Wants County
Officials to Help State Meet
Her Obligations.

Little Rock, March 1S.-County
sheriffs will be called upon within
the next few weeks to make partial
settlements with the state, the re-
mittanees to be a part of the state
general tax collected by sher-
ifs and which must be turned into
the state treasury in July of each
year. The special call will be is
sued about April /, according to M.
F. Dickinson, state auditor, in an
effort to relieve the present strain
ed condition of the states general
revenue fund.
Only temporary relief will be
realized, however, for within the
next few months the fund, without
the special call for settlement,
would be approximately $1,00O,000
behind. The full settlement will
aggregate approximately $980,000,
or an amount less than the expect
ed deficit.
Little Rock bankers say the Ar
kansas Bankers association, when
it holds it's annual meeting here
April % and %, will take up the
financial condition of the state in
view of either attempting to offer
aid, or to propose to the state gov
ernment the most adequate solu
ton.
Arkansas banks are declining to
take state warrants, with few eX
ceptions, only at large discounts;
the discounts asked being so large
that few warrants are purchased.
Banks are undesirOus generally of
purchasing state warrants at any
price, unless they take them with
expectation of turning them back to
the state in payment of taxes. Many
warrants are being held for this
purpose, bankers says, and after
taXpaying time is past the deprecia-
ton in market value of state war
rants will be appalling.
Yesterday the states general rev.
enue fund stood $539,219.23 in
debt. On January l it was $448,-

ed deficit since January l of $91,-
