TAX COMMISSION
SHOWS FAILURES
OF PRESENT LAW
Average Assessment of Land Per
Acre Only $484; Greene Coun-
ty Entered at $7.O3.

Little Rock, March 22.-The av-
erage assessed valuation of Arkan-
sas lands is only $4.84 an acre, &C
cording to figures compiled by the
state tax commission, and which are
combined in the commissions an
nual report. Lands are assessed at
SO per cent of their value, which
would make Arkansas lands worth,
on an average, 1858 an acre. This
average includes all lands within
the state, including town and city
lots.
The Fort Smith district of Sebas-
tian has the highest value, accord
ing to the commissions figures,
which show the average assessment
in the district to be $63 an acre.
However, this district is comprised
exclusively of city lots, only 1881
acres of land being assessed by the
acre. Pulaski county's average as
sessed value is $500 an acre. This
includes all the land in the county
and the city of Little Rock also.
Montgomery county has the lowest
assessed values of any county in the
state, the land in that county being
assessed at $3.50 an acre.
LANDS UNDERVALUED.
differentiation to large extent
is the cause of the law assessment
of Arkansas lands, according to
members of the commission. In
a
at far less than one-half their value
and this, according to state officials,
is one reason the states revenues
do not meet it's expenditures. Equal
ization of taxation is one solution
to the ultimate solution of the
states financial condition.
Creation of the northwest tick
eradication district will raise the
valuation placed on lands in many
counties, it is believed. The new
district is comprised of So counties
and, according to proponents of the
measure, the elimination of cattle
ticks from these counties will add
from SIS to $40 per acre to the value
!, of the grazing lands.
Mississippi county lands are as
sessed at $40 an acre, the highest
valuation in the state, with the eX-
ception of the Fort Smith district
of Sebastian county. Several cOun-
ties are assessed at 81 or more an
acre, while many fall below $3.50
and SO.
Clay county lands are assessed
at s7.05; Craighead 1928; Greene
s703; Jackson $500; Lawrence
$3.50; Lee $6.63; Phillips 1922;
Poinsett $7O4; St. Francis SAIL.

ALL VERSED IN ENGLISH

Albany, N. Y, Aug. pa proposal
to restrict the right of franchise to
persons who can read and write the
English language is contained in
suggested amendment to the New
York State constitution, which was
advanced to the order of it's final pas
sage today in the constitutional con-
vention. No person who cannot read
and write English would be permitted
to vote after January 1, 1918.
Race feeling ran high during the
debate on the measure. Frequent rel
erencieS we're made to the war. One
of the supporters of the measure said
''the American people are confronted
with possibilities of war with pow
er, many of whose people are in this
who have not learned the English
language and who are reading papers
in sympathy with this foreign country
are a menace"

during the last year in observing the
achievements of the nation of my an
cestors. The only reason Germans in
America read German papers is that
because they are the only source OF
truth he gets about the war in Eu-
rope
In supporting the proposal, William
Barnes, Jr., declared that giving the
franchise only to those who can read
and write English is most vital.
