TO EOUALIZE ALL TAXES IN
STATE

It would be impossible at this
time to determine the percentage Of
actual value that will be applied for
assessment purposes, according to
Chairman L. E. Thomas, Of the
Board of State Affairs. Chairman
Thomas believes however, that the
percentage cannot possibly exceed
so per cent of the actual value of
property for state purposes, and it
may be slightly lower. The percent
age, he says, must be based on the
total amount reported by the as
SCISSORS in July.
eThe board hopes by the earnest
and energetic work to be able to re-
move this year large per cent of
the gross injustices that exist at
present in tax matters" said Chair
man Thomas. "Our inspectors have
shown stocks Of liquors having an
inventory Of $4,000 assessed at
$4,000; stocks Of merchandise in
ventoried at 100000, assessed at
$4,000; stocks Of packing houses
inventoried at $4,000 and assessed
at $500; lumber on the yard turn
ed in at 100000 feet for assess
ment when inventory showed 25,-
100000 feet; cattle being turned in
at Is head when the party had 200
or more; many parishes not turning
in single hog or sheep when they
had thousands of them; town lots
selling for $4,000, and assessed at
$3.50; tracts Of land well worth $3.50
per acre being assessed at less than
So per acre; and many other irregu-
larities too numerous to mention,
that make honest citizens ashamed
Of such conditions. They cannot and
will not be permitted to continue if
we can secure the cooperation Of
the police juries and assessors Of
the state. No self-respecting Louisi-
anian would want such . state Of af-
fairs to be longer tolerated.-Pio-
neer-Napoleonville.

frequent visitor at the Giovanni
gambling house, as he vainly sought
to clasp Leah, the Turing siren of the
place in his arms.
But Leah eluded him.
And after Carrel had lost his all
and Leah had lured others to de-
struction, she stole away to little
spot in the hills where Reginald
Ramsey, the novelist, had come to
finish his novel, "The Golden To-
tus."
Sweetheart" cried Ramsey, as
Leah stole up hebind him and put
her hands over his eyes.
"You are good and true and you
are incapable Of deceit" exclaimed
Ramsy, as he caught Leah to him,
land I love you better than any,
thing else in this world"
Leah hung her head in shame up
on hearing this eulogy Of herself,
but she did not tell him who she
really was.
Some days later Ramsy met Rob-
ert Verney, the explorer.
See this" said Ramsey to Yer
ney, showing him a jewel. This is a
golden lotus and l am going to give
it to. my beloved unknown in token
of the love l bear for her."
Verny examined the jewel closely
and smiled at his friends ardor.
Old Giovanni, Of the gambling
house, realized that Leah had a Sec
ret love.

CHURCH PENSION
 FUND IS ASSURED

New York, Jan. 1.-Success in ob' taining pledges of $4,C0O,000 toward the $5,0O0,000 church pension fund being raised for the Protestant Epis- copal clergy and their dependent families, was announced by Bishop Wm. Lawrence of Massachusetts, chairman of the fund committed.
 "This great sum of money is the largest the church has ever raised in so short time," said Bishop Law renee. "The campaign, which began on Mardh 1. 1916, will end on March of this year. On that day the tn- tire $5,0O0,000 must be on hand, otherwise we will not be able to k"er the S4.O0000O now pledged. We are confident that the extra $1,000,0O0 will be raised, and thus this pension fund be formally established to provide substantial life annuities for aged and disabled clergymen, their widows and dependents"

WHEN TO "BUTT IN"
 ON YOUR NEIGHBOR

'It's iustifiable to pry into your neighbours business and the more you inform yourself of what's going on in his house and on his premises the better of you are-under certain cir says a philosophical citizen, who has evid ently been read ing the fire prevention articles that The Graphic has been publishing from time to time.
 What's tho use of my keeping my premises free from fire hazard, my matches in metal boxes, good flues and safe stoves and all that, when my next door neighbor piles trash in the closet and then sends the chll- dren in with matches to find some misplaced article. and when they clean clothes with gasoline in the same room with fire and keep dust rags and oil mops tucked away in closet behind the door?
 of their house burns down mine will likely be too. So l figure l have a right to use little diplomacy and get my neighbor to thinking about preventing my house from burning down."

THE RETAIL SITUATION IN
 PINE BLUFF.

1t would be foolish to assume that retail establishments in Pine Bluff benefit from the prevailing high prices of some commodities. In many instances the profits are less than when the wholesale prices are low, When retail prices reach a certain high level there is a tendency 70 economize, resulting ln lessened de mand, and, as donsequence, a les sened sale.
 Prices arc fixed from the bottom uo not from the top down; and the bot tom of the mercantile situation is the cost of raw material n this is found the first increase, and all other in creases are based upon it. It is fact that most retail stores prefer to see low prices and lively buying rather than high prices and stultified buying. This is the situation in Pine Bluff and Everywhere else.
 The person who labors under the delusion that retailers deliberately boost prices should inform himself Of tho facts The retailer is the last cog in the mercantile wheel, and has no more to do with the price of eggs, for instance. than he has with the cackle of the ohicken that lays them. Let no person unjustly blame the retail stores for any advances. Prices arc the cost of raw material; and retailers haven't the slightest thing to do with either of these factors

Germany is not only worried about her food supply, but is worried about Austria.
 While Francis Joseph lived, it was plain sailing for the Hohenzollerns, Kaiser Wilhelm exercised such in fluence over the Hapsburg monarch that he became virtually dictator of Austria Hungary. Germany shaped her ally's military and foreign poli- cies, diredted her campaigns. intrudei in her internal affairs. all in the guise of friendly helper. Austria Hungary since the war began has dcgenerated into little more than subordinate member of the German empire, a state like Bavaria, nominally free mem Der of the Germanic federation but really governed by Prussia
 The young emperor is not So easily handled. Before Francis Joseph E death, Charles had shown his hostility to the kaiser. The kaiser failed to attend the old emperor's funeral It was explained as due to bad cold. .s later and perhaps more trustworthy story is to the effect that the kaiser kept away because he didn't want to meet Emperor Charles. The latter straightway appointed ministry no toriously opposed to German domina tion. He has given many indications of changing the old order. And there have come from Vienna and Budapest hints that Austria Hungary was de termined to have peace at once, either with or without German acquiescenc,
 It seems likely. then that the chic reason why Germany is now makins sutf frenzied efforts to arrange [ peace conference is that she fears hei ally will desert her. The entente powers would willingl. give Austri: liberal peace terms for the sake v1 isolating Germany. with the idea ot recouping themselves when they hat crushed jPrussia-as they surely would, with Austria out of the same
