BY ARTHUR w. DUNN.

Washington, Jan. 19.-GSpeciaL.l-
Tariff legislation is a great problem,
or, rather. revenue legislation, as the
tariff refers more particularly to i'm
ports from abroad. There seems to be
a pretty well defined notion among
quite a number of Democrats to press
forward a tariff bill In order to raise
more venue.
Unless there Is an extra session of
congress there will be n makeshift tenn
porary revenue measure providing for
a bond issue and for levying other
forms of taxation. Members of the
ways and means committee and also
the finance committee say that IL IL
impossible to consider a revenue bill

ing deficit In the few weeks remaining
OF the present session OF congress.

Farm and City

The statlsticians tells us that during the last decade the coun- try population of the United States increastd but 6 per cent, and that during the same time the town population increased 36 per cent. In other words, the in. crease in the town population was six times as great as the increase in the country.
 The census classifies as rural population all those who live out side towns of twenty-five hun. dred or more population These small towns really should not be classified as rural. for most of them are not farming communi ties. If these small towns were also counted as cities, the in crease of farming population would be shown to be even small CT.
 These statistics indicate tha6 the back to the farm movement has not been as much of a sue cess as might be declared. Tbere is no way to force the farmers to continue to till the soil. When the boys on the farm become men they go where they want to, Many of them choose to go to the cities. There. it seems to them, they will find greater opportunities to become rich or famous.
 About all that can be done is to make rural life more enjoyable. The building of good roads and good schools will Eelp materially. Good schools without good roads are impossible
 This particular section should lead the state in the building of excellent highways and schools, for the development of the cut over lands makes it imperative 
 for worthy inducements to be held out to the men who must be pioneers.

Livestock as a Side Line tc
 Farming in Arkansas

There Is place for at least some livestock on every farm in Arkansas. The number of ani. mals kept does not need to be large but should be sufficient to clean up all farm waste and help Il tilize at least some of the idle land. Our state is one or small farms and yet iS classified as a Cotton State and is likely to con tinue to be SD classified in the fu ture. Consequently. there is ev cry indication that most of the livestock 8fll be raised as side line to cotton, or some other cash crop.
