 Commissioner W. B. Owen says The prospects for road improven ent in the state is greater than ever be fore. The people are thoroughly alive to the fact that roads are a necessity and they are not hesitating to pay the price necessary for their cost Judg- ing the future by the past, the year 1918, If nothing happens to prevent, will be the banner year for construc- ton in the state, and instead of talk ing five years to complete the road program, another two years will see nearly all the county seats connected by good permanent highways.

 Another phase of the possible Gov ernment ownership of railroads. which some are predicting will follow the war, is the reduction in revenue that will follow the change.
 The total property assessment of the state is about $525,0 ,00Q.000, for the last year. of which approximately SS0,000,000 is on the railroad nroper- ties of the state. In addition to the advalorem taxes, the railroads pay about $100000 annually in franchise tax. It is estimated that the with drawal of these properties from taxa tien would reduce the general reve. nue of the state from IT to 20 per cent The county and municipal taxes would also be reduced in about the same proportion, except for the fran ehise taxes
 The Government pays To taxes on it's property, and if the railroads were owned by the Government the states would be deprived of one of its most prolific sources of revenue.

 Christmas day dawned bright and clear-in fact so bright and clear that it was very hard indeed for one to get the real Christmas spirit. Too, in some places here one sees some of the early spring flowers getting ready to bloom.
 Camp Beauregard is situated in the midst of what was once great pine forest Of course the most of this has been cleared away, but now and then I large trae was left standing. ev. eral of these were being used n Cmistmas lag as Christmas trees. Some were simply decorated in red white and blue; others wish tinsel and other Christmas trimmings and others were made beautiful at night by the Use of eolored electric lights.
 The Supply Company, with whom we had dinner at noon had small pine tree in their mess hal gaily deck ed in Christmas eolors. The long ta- bles were piled higE with all kinds of fruits and nuts which gave the ap- pearance of gala day that it was.

Little Rock, Jan. 7.-Three cent postage IS probably not yielding as heavy return in revenue as the gov ernment had expected as it is bringing about economies in several directions that had not been anticipated.
 Many of the merchants of the city. for instance, and probably elsewhere Tn the state, have abandoned the GUS tom of mailing to customers receipts for bills that are paid by check. Some of the largest firms here have adopted this plan, acting upon the theory that the cancelled check, returned from the bank, is sufficient receipt. This sys- tenn, however, had been adopted by some business houses even before the Increased rates went into effect, some having adopted check which is in itself d receipt.
 In other ways. increased postage is bringing about changes in the methods of doing business that do not detract from the efficiency of the methods. but cause material saving.
