MUST ASSESS OR PAY
Is Per CENT PENALTY
Supreme Court Rules that Gov.
ernor Has No Power 10
Set Aside Law

In decision handed down
by the Arkansas Supreme
Court last Monday, the court
holds that neither the Cover
nor or the State Tax Commits
sion have the power to issue
proclamations relieving per
sons of the penalty for failing
to assess their property in &C.
cordance with the new assess
ment law passed by the last
legislature.
The legislature of 1917 en-
acted a statute changing the
method of assessing property
for taxation, and among the
changes made was the imposi-
ton of a penalty of 25 per cent
on the taxes of any delinquent
property owner who failed to
assess within the time and in
the manner prescribed by sta
tute. H. S. McClesky, a prop
erty owner of Pulaski county,
failed to assess his property in
accordance with the statute,
and offered to pay the amount
of his taxes to the collector,
less the 25 per cent penalty.
The collector refused to ac-
cept the taxes without the pen
atty, and McClesky sought by
mandamus to compel him to do
so.
Gov. Brough issued pro-
clamation reciting that there
had been many delinquencies
in the assessments for 1917,
which were unintentional and
not wilful, and declared re-
mission of all penalties for such
deliquencies down to the sum
of 81, the pnalty to be paid TO
the township members for the
listing of delinquents. The
State Tax Commission also is
sued a general order under
taking to relieve delinquents
from the payments of penalties
except the minimum of 81.
The Supreme Court finds
that neither the governor or the
tax commission have the au-
thority to set aside the law,
and those who fail to assess
their taxes according to law
will have to pay the 25 per
cent penalty.

CLAIMS CHAMPION SOW
Farmer Realizes $1,17O From
Sow in Two Years

Rogers, Feb. 12.-BentonI
County claims the most profit
able Poland China sow in the
state. The SOW is owned by
Willis Moore, who purchased
the animal with her eight pigs
in 1916. The same year Moore
bought the SOW he raised a sec
ond litter of eight pigs. When
the 16 pigs were eight months
old he sold them for $35 each,
a total of $500.
In the spring of 1917, the
sow raised a litter of 10 pigs.
Moore sold four of them at the
age of seven months for $50
each, total of $120. He kept
the other six for brood sows
and values them at $500. Last
fall the sow Moore bought in
1916 had another litter of
eight pigs and Moore sold the
mother for $35. If the 1917
litters bring the same price as
the 1916 filters the former will
be worth $610, a total of ST.
ITO realized from the mother
sow in two years.

therefore, that none of these rumors had the slightest foundation. She was most charming young woman, always acting most graciously toward me, She reminded me of the Kaiser more than any other of his children. Shortly after the war started I asked how long she thought it would last. .'It can't be over too soon for me" she replied. "I have husband and six brothers in it, you know; but I'm afraid it will last long time" On one of her last visits to me she came with her husband, the Duke of Cumberland, who said he would like to speak to me privately.
 I took him into an adjoining room, and he asked me not to tell any mem Der of the royal family that he had been to see me.
 I was rather surprised at his request, but of course, agreed to comply with his wishes.
 You understand, don't you? Not a single member of the royal family!" he repeated, as he kissed the Duchess good bye and drove away.
 The mystery of the incident was cleared up few days later when an opera sing CT, who had been a guest at Braun schweig. the seat of the Duke of Cumoer- land, told me that while he was singing at the local opera house there there had been a great demonstration in front Of the Dukes palace The crowd demanded that the Duke return to the front at once.
