Baxter Springs news., 1918-03-22

Plans are said to be in the making
for the establishment of three great
permanent officers schools in the
middle west; for the infantry at Fort
Leavenworth; cavalry at Fort Riley
and artillery at Fort Sill. The next
officers training camps, the fourth,
will probably begin about June 1. At
that time, nearly 10000 youths, now
preparing themselves to be reserve
officers, in the military schools and
colleges of the country, may be called
for a months training with regulars,
national guard and national army
camps. For some time past, the
troops, especially the officers, have
been withdrawn from Leavenworth,
for other posts. Similar conditions
prevail at the Riley and Fl. Sill posts,
and other posts where regular soldiers
can take training for advancement to
officers.

|BUY At BAXTER SPRINGS
J. w. and Clyde Phillips Will
Conduct Branch Business
at Baxter Springs

A deal was consumated yesterday
whereby J. w. Phillips, his brother,
C. E. Phillips and their uncle, T. l..
Phillips, of Miller, Mo-, became the
owners of The Quality Shop, q gents
furnishing establishment at Baxter
Springs, located in the heart OF the
mining district between here and Jop-
lin. The deal has been under con-
sideration for some time. The new
owners took charge yesterday and
C. E. Phillips remained there to con-
duct the business. He and their uncle
from Miller will have charge Of the
store and both will move their fami-
lies to Baxter in the near future. j.
w. Phillips, owner of the Globe store
here will remain in this city and the
business here will be continued along
the same progressive lines as during
the past three years, since the estab-
lishment of the store.
The growth of the Globe in this
city has been phenominal, considering
the short time. The Phillips boys are
hustlers for business, accommodating
and ever alert to the complete salts
faction of their customers. The es-
tablishment of the store at Baxter
Springs will in no way effect the pro-
gress of the business here. Consider
ing the advancement of The Globe IN
Coffeyville, it is safe to predict that
the store in the enterprising little
town of Baxter, conducted along the
same progressive lines, will meet with
startling success.-COffeyville Daily

That Income Tax

Mir Jack Walker, Collector of Inter nal Revenue, asks Us to publish the following:
 Tax payers are authorized under the law to postpone payment of their income tax until June 18th, but may fulfill their obligations to the Federal Government for the current year by paying their taxes at the time the return Is filed. By so doing tax payers will not only re lieve themselves of further annoyance, but will render additional patriotic ser vice to our Government hy replenishing the United States Treasury at time when most needed.
 The War Revenue Act of October 3. lai7. authorizes discount at therate of , per annum for advance payment of income taxes, but where the tax is shown to be only few dollars it would hardly justify the tax-p payer to figure the discount. For example. if the tax shown to be due is only so. GO and is paid on the lst of February the discount figured at the rate of % fer 135 days tor until June l5) will only amount to 22 cents
 The payment may be made by check or Money Order, payable to the Collect or of Internal Revenue. and delivered to any deputy collector or attached to the return and mailed direct to Jack Walker, Collector. at Little Rock. Arkansas and it Is urgently requested that all who possibly can will avail themselves of this patriotic service and pay their taxes at the time of filing returns

The Arkansas
 Louisiana Highway

J. A Bennett of this place, president of the Arkansas Louisiana Highway Commission, in company with Governor Brough, State Engineer Hugh Carter, J. F. Lufborough, attorney for the dis trict, s. k McRae and M. E. Sherland of McGehee. secretary of the district, left Sunday for Washington, D. C., where efforts are being made this week to secure a government decision to the effect that the construction of the pro posed Arkansas Louisiana highway k military necessity.
 A decision by the government that the project Is military necessity would greatly facilitate construction work. in that transportation of materials would be made possible Big contractors have hesitated on bidding on the work, fear ing inability to carry out the project be- cause of inability to get materials.
 As to the real value of the highway from military standpoint there can be no question. Speaking of the matter editorially. the Arkansas Democrat says:
 The constantly increasing volume of business handled by the railroads has made 1t imperative that some additional means of transportation be provided both for the purpose of supplying do mestic consumers and ordinary indus tries and to carry war supplies or soldiers in emergencies. With good highways radlating through the various States. and sufficient supply of autos or motor trucks. domestic supplies or war sup plies could be kept moving over the roads from the country to the city ana from city to city. This would be espe- cially advantageous if embarCos should be found necessary on the railroads
 The United States government and various counties through which the Arkansas Louisiana highway is routed should give all the help needed in speed ing up the construction of the road

Hon. D. A. Bradham
 For Judge

The formal announcement of Hon. b A. Bradham of Warren as a candidate for Circuit Judge of the Tenth Judicial Circuit of Arkansas appears in this issue Of his candidacy, the Warren Democrat News says:
 MT Bradham was born in Clarendon county, s. C., Sept. Is. 1878, where he grew to manhood. attending the rural schools of the community and living the life common to all boys in rural com munities. He later attended the South Carolina Military College at Charleston. known as the West Point of the South. where he graduated with first honors in 1900 with the B. & degree He then taught school for some years until he had saved up enough money to take his law course when he went to Washington and Lee University at Lexington, Va. where he graduated in law with the IL. B. degree. From there he came directly to Warren; ar irving here on Dec. 24. l90l, where he established his home and few years later married one of Bradley County's most amiable young ladies. to which union three children have been born.
 He was admitted to the Warren bar at the January term. 1905 of the Brad ley circuit court. Since then he has been engaged in the practice of law and by hard study has made himself an authority upon the law and by his fair and honorable dealings has gained the confidence of the bar and the people in both his knowledge of the law and in his honesty and integrity.
 Mr Bradham was elected to the Ar kansas legislature in 1908 and again in 1910 and served Bradley county ably and we'll in that body. He was one of the leading members in the Legislature He was tireless worker for all those measures which were intended to build up the state and better the conditions of the people. He was author of a number of important measures and was always on the side of morality and righteousness. In the 1911 session of the Legislature he was Chairman of the committee on State Capitol and was in- strumental in completing the State House and taking that vexatious ques- ton out of Arkansas politics. He also had passed a measure which required all county funds to be deposited in the bank offering to pay the highest rate of in- terest on daily balances on deposit. and up to the last settlement in 1917 this fund had paid into the Treasury of Brad ley county more than $80OO to the credit of the common school fund, and now the school children of the county get from this fund about $l20O each year.
 MT. Bradham is public spirited citi- zen and is active in all movements for the betterment of the community. He has been very active in public school af- fairs and for the past five years has been a member of the State Board or Education. He is now President of the Warren School Board and is untring in his efforts to give the district an effec- tive school system where stress is placed upon thorough scholarship and
