STATE ASSESSMENTS LESS.
Tax Commission Explains the
 Causes for Decrease.

Little Rock, Dee 28.-The State Tax Commission reports that it's total assessments for 1915 were Sl02, ,309,9 ,906, and for 1916 the total was Sl0i, 669, 84i. The assessment by the Tax Commission for 1915 was approximately 22.9 per cent of the total assessment of the whole prop erty of the state but the figures for this year are not yet available The total assessment this year is a lit- tie less that that of 1915, which the commission explains as follows;
 Three of the largest railway sys- tems operating in the state, togeth- CT with a large number of the les ser ones, are in hands of receivers. There is also a falling off in the net earning of the street railways, as claimed by the owners, by reason of automobile competition. For this reason We made some reductions in assessments of some of the rail roads and in one street railway"

There's no reason why a person should take sickening, salivating call smel when 30 cents buys a large bottle of Dodsons Liver Tone-a perfect substitute for calomel.
 It's pleasant, vegetable liquid which will start your liver just as surely as calomel. but it doesn't make you sick and cannot salivate.
 Children and grown folks can take Dodson's Liver Tone, because it is perfectly harmless.
 Cal0mel is dangerous drug. It is mercury and attacks your bones. Take dose of nasty calomel today and you will feel weak, sick and lose 3 days work.

PRESIDENTS NOTES DISCREET
 WARNING TO GERMANY
If Peace Negotiations Fail, Renew al of Submarining Will Lead to
 Break With |. s.

Washington. Dee. 2S.-The fear that if present peace negotiations fail this nation would then clear it's slate of the submarine situation with Germany grew today.
 President Wilson, however, in- tends 10 push his peace work to the limit and avoid if possible, suDse- duent unpleasantness with Germany. Both the president and Secretary Lansing have decided to maintain discreet silence on this topic. This is due. it is believed. to the fact lhev do not wish to appear wearing a cbip on the shoulder when peace is being talked, with slight hope of success.
 There is now no mistaking, otli- cials believe, that President Will sons peace note and the two subse- ment explanations of Secretary Lansing, in effect, constitute a warning against any unbridled acts of war that would involve American lives or American rights. Since if has always been this governments attitude that violations which affect property are not even to be com pared to violations which affect lives. the warning is generally in- terpreted as being directed, there fore, chiefly against the Central Powers submarines which have not only destroyed and endangered American lives, but also have de- stroyed American property, admit tedly in violation of all rules of hu- manity and international warfare.
 Officials, however, are trying not to over-emphasize this. as they really want to aid peace, and have already put the government on re- cord as not considering any change of the neutrality policy at this time.
 One authority, however, comedies that there would be no more note writing to Germany. and indicated that, if Germany cuts loose into submarining, following the probable failure of peace negotiations, then break would inevitably come, in keeping with the American Sussex note threat.
 The fact that the allies intend tO state their terms and aims is thought here likely to put Germany diplomaticalIy "in a hole and hence to make peace even more probable than if now seems.

The Greatest Tax of All.

From The Fort Smith Times Record.
 One tax that is entirely too high in this state is the mud tax The United States is notoriously short on good roads It spends enough mon- ey, goodness knows. but the paucity of results are apalling The incom- ing legislature can give us good roads by turning over all the auto mobile license fund to the state to match the appropriation of the gov ernment. It might be a wise pre- caution to require the money to be spent in the county where the tax originates but the principle is sound to turn all automobile licenses to match the federal money.

He Was Pretty Sick.

An old negro man, riding on the train, fell asleep with his mouth open. A mischievous drummer came along, and having a convenient capsule of quinine in his pocket, he uncorked and sifted the bitter dose well into the old negro's palate and the root of his tongue. Soon the darky awoke and became much dis turbed. He called for the conductor and asked:
 Boss, is dere a doctor on dis here train.

Tbe DnIp Solution
Dr. !. r.. Roberts Tells Kansas City Audience Cause of High Cost of Living and the Only Remedy.

From The Kansas City Star.
 Permanent relief from the high cost of living will come only when there is a return to the land and when penalties are taken of im- provements of the farm, Dr. J. E.. Roberts said at the Willis Wood Theater last Sunday morning.
 They say somebody has corner on eggs, said Doctor Roberts. That's wrong. That somebody has q corner on wheat. That's wicked But it is perfectly right to corner land until hen cant find a place to scratch. Eggs at forty cents are worth it. It costs that much to pro- duce eggs under our present sys- tenn. Corn at seventy-iive cents bushel and wheat at $50 is reason able Staple products of the farm are bound to be higher as the years go by
 The unhappy and unfortunate feature is that people don't see the solution" he continued. The cause of all the difficulty is deeper; it is fundamental; it is vital and we shall not see the solution until we stop beguiling ourselves with the Chimeras of the reformers that en- list the moral enthusiasm of soci- ety.
 Not Good Religion. But
 Tt will not come until land can be kept accessible and a man can be given the chance to work CT starye. That may not be good religion, but it is good common sense and it's Natures way. We may as well face the facts. People are continually leaving the farm. The number of workers of the land is growing less CT and the number of people to be supported by the farm worker is growing larger. The cities are over crowded; nearly 50 per cent of the inhabitants of the population of the United States live in the towns and cities, and the farm is being made more unattractive to the boys and girls by the reformers who would even prohibit billiard halls and bowling alleys. We have to get down to the fundamental thing and have got to make the farm laborer's life more attractive. as the eXperi- ment stations and universities are trying to do.
 The Farm the Solution.
 We must take the penalties off improvements of the farm, thereby relieving that worker of the high rent charge, so that 1t will not be the more you do for the country the more you have to pay Land must be free and open. We must learn that We can't live on our fellow men unless we help. We get from them and We must give to them"

LOCATION OF NEW

Arkansas Will Be in District No. G., Which Will Also Include Missouri and Illinois. Onicial Statement
 Ws-EstahliShed Soon.

Washington. Dec 1-Springiield. Mass, Baltimore. Md, Columbia, $. c., Louisville, ky, New Orleans, La., St. Louis. Mo-, St. Paul, Minnr Oma- Ina. Nebr. Wichita, Kasr Houston, Tex Berkeley Calf, and Spokane, Wash, have been chosen as loca- tions for the l2 Federal Farm Loan banks.
 Arkansas. Illinois and Missouri comprise District No. 6, with the bank at St. Louis, Mo.
 Official Announcement.
 Tn determining the Federal land bank districts and in designating the cities within such districts, where Federal Land Banks shall be located the official announcement says:
 The Federal Farm Loan Board has given careful consideration to the farm loan needs of the country. The board held public meetings in nearly every state of the Union, and in this manner collected information of great value in determining its de- cision.
 Every reasonable opportunity has been afforded applicant cities to furnish evidence to support their claims as to location of Federal Land Banks. More tran D cities applied to be designated as the headquarters of a bank, and were heard thru representative commit tees and individuals"
 Establish Banks Soon.
 The banks will be established as soon as practicable. Under the law each will have a capital of S750,000. Applications for loans have been pouring in to the board in great vol ume recently, and it is estimated that sum more than 20 times in excess of the combined capital stock could be used in making loans.
 Almost the first work of the banks after approving and issuing loans will the the issuance of farm loan bonds. a new form of security in this country. The bonds will be is- sued in denominations as small as S25, it is expected, and will bear interest at the rate of 1 per cent less than the interest rate charged farmers on their loans.
 What this interest rate will be has not been definitely determined. It is limited by law to a maximum of 6 per cent. The expectation is that it will not exceed 5la per cent at first, and subsequently be lowered.
 Limit of Loans.
 Loans on farm lands are limited by law to a 30 per cent value of the land and may be payable in from 5 to 70 years. As fast as loans are made, bonds will be issued to cover them so that at no time under the present plan will a banks entire capital be tied up in loans to the detriment of applicants.
 Thru a process of having bor- rowers subscribe in small amounts to the capital stock, 1t is expected -he banks, not long after beginning operations, will be virtually CO., operative institutions. The per nanent organization of the banks provides for nine directors, six of whom shall be selected by associa- ions of farmer-borrowers, the other .hree being appointed by the Fed 'ral board.
