ers was 18,30S,32 or 1T per cent of
the estimated population.
New York State led in the volume

On the question of Taxation. which
was the most vexatious considered
during the whole session of the Con
vention, the Committee says:
THE Constitutional Convention
spent more time and labor on the
article on taxation than on any other
subject which came before the Con-
yention. 1t finally adopted the old
Constitution with its limitations on
the taxing power. No greater tax
es can be levied under the proposed
Constitution than under the old Con-
stitution. The limitations are the
same but the Convention added some
sections which in its judgement
makes our system of assessing tax
es more practical, and it also pro
vides for reaching some property
"Hl.h has heietoiofe escaped taXat-
ion"
Among the many other things pro-
vision is made whereby the counties
may pay their Indebtedness, and
when this is done and the county
placed on cash basis, there will be
no occasion to issue scrip, and taxes
will be paid in currency. This pro-
vision whereby local legislation in
TIE General Assembly is absolutely
abolished. This, in the estimation
of the Committee, will save a great
deal of money and much valuable
time, and deny rights to no one.

Think Of the Many Opportunities for

The vast borrowings OF the govern

perhaps, they feel that an exacting de

they grow uneasy and restless.
Private and public expenditures are

But the money Is staying right here

PUBLIC MEETINGS PROHIBITED.

At the suggestion of Mayor Smyer
a meeting of the Council of Defense
was held Tuesday evening to CON
slider what action should be taken
with reference to Spanish influenza,
which IS Just now sweeping the en-
tire country. After discussing the
matter at length it was decided best,
as a precautionary measure, to close
the schools, picture show, suspend
church services, and in fact prohibit
public gatherings of any kind, and
Mayor Smyer' proclamation to this
effect appears in this paper. Schools
were dismissed Wednesday morning
for tho remainder Of the week, and
there will be no services Sunday at
any Of the churches 1t is reported
there are not exceeding thirty cases
of influenza IN this community, and
none have SO far proved of serious
nature. The action taken by Mayor
Smyer was IN accordance with the
state board of health, and other
towns and Cities throughout the
state have done the same thing.
In this connection attention is called
TO the fact that the order of the
state board Of health prohibits any
person under I8 years Of age being
ON the streets unless it be absolutely
necessary. This does not apply to
persons over II years of age regu-
larly employed. In other words
every person should remain en- his
own premises.
There are % eases of the disease
IN the University of Arkansas, but
the exact number i'm Fayetteville is
not known. All public gatherings
IN the town are prohibited In the
larger cities and eongested districts,
the disease Is more prevalent and is
proving more serious

Apparently Short In Accounts

Huntsville, Ark, Oct. "a. NJ.
Mcconnell, tax collector of Madison
county has been found apparently
short over $4,000 in his settlements.
An evident discrepancy caused Judge
S. Parsley to appoint Harvey G.
Combs and Frank Patrick to investl-
gate the matter. They found it u
tedious task to disentanble the namer-
Gus erroneous entries and perplexing
erasures./ 1t is not believed that
there was any criminal intention on
the part of Mr. Mcconnell, but it is
alleged he employed children and IN
competent assistants in his office.
He is unable to account for the disap-
pearanee of the money but will make
good the amount he is serving his
first term as collector and IS the
Democratic nominee for reelection.

SMALL BCNDHOLDER
MISSES POINT AS TO
VIRTUAL TAX ESCAPE
Owns Are Practically Free
From Taxation.

Financiers studying the market con
ditions with regard in particular to
Liberty Bond figures find that great
many of the bond transactions are mi
tiated by PERSONS who do not under
stand the statutes which safeguard the
various issues of bonds.
For instance, small holders have
been selling their and IA per cent
bonds in order 10 buy the 3 u per cent
bonds OF the first loan, because the
32s are completely exempt from tax.
AS a matter of fact, for the small in
weston the IS and 414s carry the same
freedom from taxation, practically. No
tax now in existence or later to be
levied can affect the As and l4s IN
less the holder owns $4,000 worth or
more.
