 Qualified Voter Only Six Years.
 The records of Washington County show that the professor has been a qualified elector of Arkansas only six years. although he has been drawing a high salary for twelve years; ana everybody knows that he has been an nyowed candidate for governor evar since he began paying his poll tax.
 If the professor voted in the va. rious city, school, congressional, gen, eral and primary elections the five years he failed to pay his poll tax, he committed each time an lndictable of fense. If he did not vote he was dere. lict in his duties as a citizen, and is not worthy ot the support of the tax pers for any position, much less for governor of the great State of Arkan. sas He has been professor of poli- tical economy in the university; his main idea of political economy ap- pears to be tax lodging.

To the People of Arkansas:

The professor is strong for wanting to make other people pay their taxes. but he is weak on paying taxes him. self. For the first six years the pro- lessor was in Arkansas Bleaching po- litical economy in the university, he drew approximately $12,000 from the taxpayers of the state, and only paid one little measly dollar in taxes back to the state. The poll tax goes into the common school fund, to help sup port the common schools, and to edu- cate the little children of Arkansas The following table, taken from the records of Washington county, shows that he did not pay one cent of taxes for the years 1904, 1905, 1906, 1907 and 1908, although he was being fed and clothed by the tax payers of Ar kansas during that time.

MEMPHIS LIQUOR
 MEM UNDISMAYED
City Attorneys Construction of Judge McCall's Ruling Per
 mits Interstate Trade.

Memphis, Tenn, Jan. 20. The liquor situation lin Memphis has taken an entirely new angle, as the result'of an opinion of City Attorney Bryan, which construes the ruling.of Judge Mccall of the federal court. Judge Mccall, it was generally Understood, held that no .liauor could be shipped into Tennessee under the Webb Kenyonslaw. except for personal use; that liquor shipped into the state at once became subject to laws ofsthe state. land that not on- ly couldsliquor not be brought in- to the state for sale, nor shipped out of the state, but that it.could not be legally kept in storage.
 City Attorney Bryan, in an op pinion givens. Commissioner Me- Lain, construes Jndge Mccall rul- ing so.that it.does not prevent whiskey houses in Memphis do- ing a strictly interstate business, provided that the sale is not made in Memphis or the order taken otherwise than by telegraph, long distance phone or through the mails.
 Will Do Interstate Business.
 Following this opinion, a strict compliance with interstate liquor laws was pledged by 50 or more wholesale liquor dealers, who met at the Business Mems Club late this afternoon in conference with Chief of Police Perry, Commis- sioner McClain and City Attorn. ey Bryan.
 It was also agreed that any member of the Memphis Whole sale Liquor Dealers Association who attempt to violate the laws will be expelled from member ship and his name reported to the city and county officials.
 Wholesale merchants were not flied that onlyi interstate orders received over long-distance tele- phone or by postal money order would be held legal and that any deviation from this rule would be considered a viola tion of the pro- hibition laws. Wholesale houses must close thei- doors to all visi- tors, and only employees and their attaches will be allowed inside
 This drasticsfmeasure. accord ing to Chief Perry, has the sanc- tion of all authorities and is based on recent legislation. He said it is aimed at those houses that had recently developed a retail busi- ness under pretext of taking or ders for future interstate deliv- cry.

The voters of Arkansas and especially the tax payers, do not want a non.taX payer elected governor. They want a man who knows from actual personal experience something about tax ation to assess their property. And surely none of them will agree with Dr. Brough that the nearly 200 negro justices of the peace in Arkansas are qualified to assess the taxes of the white property owners.
