DISPARITY IN REAL
 ESTATE ASSESSMENTS

Little Rock, Jan. 25.-One of the remarkable instances of the disparity in real estate assessments has been noted in Fulton county. Land on the Arkansas side of the state line is as sessed at an average of $3 an acre, and the tax rate is $2.20 on the hun dred Just across the line in Missouri, with only an imaginary boundary be- tween, the land is assessed at $28 an acre, and the tax rate is 87 cents on the $100. The Arkansas land, there fore, pays taxes at the rate of 6.6 cents an acre, while the rate in Miss ouri is 25.36 cents an acre. This is proof of the fact that there is still a great work to be accomplished by the assessors and tax commissioners.

GRATIFIED BY DECISION
 OF THE SUPREME COURT

Little Rock, Jan. 25.-Circuit Judges Associate Justices of the Supreme Court, and other officials whose terms do not expire until 1918, are much gratified by the action of the Supreme Court yesterday in deciding that the election law does ot re- quire them to become candidates be- fore the approaching March primary for the nomination. It had been for some months mooted question, ana in the Little Rock Circuit and a few others the contests had already been started.
 The Supreme Court holds that while strict interpretation of the words of the act might require these officers to run at this time, it was clearly not the legislative intent to provide that can didates should run for nominations when their names could not be pre- sented to the general election for three years thereafter.
 This will relieve Associate Justice Kirby from the necessity of becoming a candidate in the March primary.

PAY BILL PROVIDES SLIDING
 SCALE OF COMPENSATION

Little Rock, Jan. 25.-The members of the Arkansas National Guard are deeply concerned in the fate of the Militia Pay bill now pending in Con- gress. It provides a sliding scale of compensation for all members of the Guard, including $50 year for each enlisted man. The total amount that would be allotted to Arkansas under the present organization would be a little more than $100,000. This is in addition to the equipment and admin istrative allotments that are now be- ing made. It is in line with the gen. eral plan for Preparedness that is be- ing advocated by President Wilson.
 Many methods are being adopted for the purpose of advancing the interests of the Guard, which is now stronger than it has even been in the history of the organization. The weak com panies have been weeded out, and all have made stronger. One of the changes proposed is to obtain the ser vices of retired on-commissioned off cers of the regular army as custodians of armories throughout the state, if an appropriation can be secured from the next session of the Legislature for that purpose.

 With nightfall this dissatisfaction became more marked. Men sat around the stores and stood on the street cor ners talking about the trial, until final ly they organized.
 The local sheriff and his deputies left Texarkana at midnight for Bos- ton. The officers declare that they will do all in their power to run down members of the mob.

CALLS ATTENTION TO PROVI-
 SIONS MILITARY PAY BILL

Little Rock, Jan. 25.-Henry F. Fredeman, Secretary of the National Guard Association of Arkansas, has addressed the members of the Asso- citation calling attention to the pro- visions of the Militia Pay Bill now pending in Congress. This is the only measure upon which all the members of the House Committee appear to be agreed. It is now only matter of agreeing upon the terms under which the militia shall receive pay. A number of the members are insist ing a thorough Federalizatlon ot the National Guard, which will turn It's control over wholly to the general government.
 One of the propositions which IS receiving favorable consideration Will give the Arkansas National Guard, as at present constituted, $ll0,9oo year. divided as follows: One Briga- dier general $700, two colonels Sl3oo; two lieutenant colonels, $12OO; six ma iors S3300; 24 captains S1200; "A first lieutenants Ss,400, twenty-four second lieutenants S6,000, and 1,560 privates $7S,000.
 It is believed that the amendment increasing the appropriations under the Dick act so that the length of the encampments may be extended will be adopted, as it has the support of the Committee, the War Department and the National Guard. The en- campments will probably be fifteen to twenty days.
