LUMBER RATES ARE INCREASED oNE-THtRD IN NEW TARIFF
 ISSUED.
ADVANCE WILL BE FOUGHT
Mir. Mcknight Favors Bringing Suit Against Rock Island and Iron Noun tain in Every County Where
 Charges Are Made.
 Little Rock.

ititie ROCK
 The Iron Mountain and Rock Island railroad companies threw bomb Of no mean proportions into the camp of lumber dealers Of Arkansas by fling with the Arkansas Railroad Commits sion a new tariff on lumber. inereas- ing rates on intrastate shipments in some instances as much as B Is per cent and wholly disregarding intra= state rates fixed by the commission have been issued by the Iron Noun tain.
 It was said that tariffs of like im- port on a number of commodities soon will be announced by the same car riers. Efforts to defeat the enforce ment of the new tariffs wall be started at once by the state, it was said by officials.
 The new lumber rates. effective Au- gust l if put in force as planned, will constitute the first action of the rail- roads in ignoring the state commis. sion. The commission was not even notified that the new rates were to be put in until after the tariffs were published and distributed.
 w F. Mcknight, member Of the commission, said the commission would take no official cognizanee of the new tariff until it was put into operation.
 eff the two railroads begin charging the new rates August 1, I will favor bringing prosecutions against them in every county where the charges are made" said MT Mcknight, and to bring suits for penalties. The com mission has the absolute power to fix fntrastate rates and the railroads have no power enabling them arbitrar- fly to issue such tariffs
 L. s. Mcdonald, president Of the Ar kansas Tariff Association, said lumber shippers who were aware of the tariffs issued by the two railroads were dis mayed.
 It is hard to say what will be done, said MT. Mcdonald. It is eer- tain, however, that the rates on in trastate shipments already are high enough. The railroads are receiving good dividends on them, and there was no occasion for issuance of the new tariffs except the railroads chose that course apparently rather than to reduce their interstate rates from Ar kansas points to Memphis.
 "The rates in the state commits sion's present tariffs in some in- stances are 50 per cent higher than rates in force under the commissions S standard distance freight tariff No g."

The rapidly growing popularity of the modern bungalow type of home for the average-sized family is a strik- ing evidence of the tendency of the American home-builder to get away from the old stately mansion with it's many rooms, only few of which were ever of any real use; home in which the family was spread over the entire house and the work required to main- tain order was no small item This new tendency is one which brings the family closely together and by the con centration of all their efforts upon the improvement of a few well-designed rooms new standard of home life is set in which each member of the fam fly has his little part to play, and where the results of his labor will be evident to anyone who happens to come into the little bungalow home.

Plans for extricating Perry county from the financial dilemma that con fronts it were made at a conference at the Hotel Marion in Little Rock.
 It was practically agreed that Per- " county property will be assessed at 100 per cent for county taxes for four years and at the usual rate for state taxes.
 Herman Duhme of St Louis recent ly bought up about S6000O in county scrip and then obtained Judgment in federal courts and also mandate compelling the county assessor to as- sess all property in the county at 100 per cent until the judgment is paid.
 Edgar J. Hahn represented MT. Duhme at the conference, which was attended by influential residents of Perry county, including several coun- ty officials.
 MT Hahn proposed an agreement by which the property ys luation will remain the same, S3,000000 for all tar purposes except county general reye- hue. It will be raised to S6,0eO, ,000 for that purpose. The county general tax rate has been the maximum of five mills for several years. Under this agreement MT. Duhme will receive half the general revenue tax eacn year, amounting to $15,o00 until the warrants are redeemed. A commit tee selected at the meeting will meet MT. Hahn and it is probable that this agreement will be signed, subject to the approval of the federal court.
