Little IssitR b wrestling with an ocr cupatfon tax That will provide the city with something like an adequate rem edy in support of the city government and one of, the first stumps in the TOW encountereA was that of taxing the physicians
 Hot Springs tried that tax once, but
 was unconstitutional, and this fact was generally known. some physi- clans paid the tax voluntarily because they realized the equity of it. Others did not pay at all.
 Little Rock started out to make The occupation tax on physicians contin~ gent on their incomes. and seemed to be getting along all right until obsta- eles were encountered.
 It may be that q flat rate for prac- ticing medicine will grow out of tue controversy there now, but that seems unfair to some because if each physl- elan had to pay $20 or $50 per annum for practice, il would be hardship on some, and 1t would amount to very lit- tle to othefs, I0
 
 very difficult matter and the cities would not attempt this form of taxa ton save for the extreme need, In Little Rock, for instance, they are paying sS55,9Ge Der year interest. i'm agine that sum being paid in interest,
 Here We are at present paying abcIt $1S,000 year interest, with the pros pect of having to pay as much as $20,-- GOO per year if we renew the loan Of $200,000. which represents the sum of tho city's outstanding indebtedness
 If the cities could devise an equitl- ble method of self support, one that would get the revenue almost up to the necessary expense, that would help some until the people have passed on the bond issue with favor The bond issue will not put thecity out of debt. but will decrease the indebtedness materially by permitting cities to have money for abound per cent wnete they are now going to have to pay 10, and that means something.

UNIVERSAL OPINION.

It seems to be the universal opinion now that this war can be ended in 1919 if America does it's fun part be tween today and the time for the full fillment of the prophecy. There has not been time before when the pec- pie who study war conditions have been sufficiently brave to make a prophecy. Of course prophecies have been made, but by persons who had other motives
 America wifi have strong army in the field in another nine menths. The army that can resist what the allies send to the field next spring will be a mighty force. We do not believe there is enough force left in the rest of the world to resist the allied power as it will be represented next March
 The only thing necessary to guaran- tee conclusion of th'.s. war next year with full and eompl etc victory is that the nation furnish men and money. food and supplies, and carry out the program mappee out by the heads of ahe goFernmenl~ That will be done.

ing Frank J. GodsoI, former French
soldier. whose ext-aGition was re-
quested by the French government,
his freedom. was filed by District At

seven errors which he claims were
made by Justice Could ia releasing
GodsCl.
Mr.. Laskey claims the court erred
in reviewing Justice Hitzs decision as
committing magistrate, in holding the
testimony before Justice Hitz as
Insufficient; in holding that the acts
with which GOdsol is charged do not
constitute false pretenses: and in find
ing that the making of a false pre-
tense in France by which money was
secured in the United States does
not constitute an act made criminal
by the laws OF both countries, and
that no money belonging to the
