GEORGE WASHINGTON ON
ADOPTION OF CONSTITUTION

During the years 1887 and 1888,
George Washington in over so differ
ent letters expressed his hope that
the Constitution for League of thir-
teen states might be ratified; many
OF his remarks are extraordinarily ap-
plicable in the present discussion Of
our ratification of the Covenant for
the League of Nations. The Consu-
tuition that is submitted. is not free
from imperfection, but there are as
few radical defects in it as could well
be expected, considering the hetere-
asneous mass OF which the Conven-
ton was composed and the diversity
OF interests that are to be attended
to. A. q Constitutional door IL
opened for future amendments and
alterations, think 1t would be wise
In the People to accept what is offered
to them"

Treble State Taxes.

The state board Of equaliza-
!tion has fixed the state tax levy
at seven and eight-tenths mills
That levy will raise $3,678, 380.08.
In 1918 total Of 81, 222, 1920
was raised in state taxes on a
levy Of two and two-tenths mills.
The increase Of this year over
last will total $2,456, PATS.
Several causes are responsible
for the increase, according to
members of the equalization
board. The last legislature lev
for highways, an ad valorem tax
led an ad valorem tax Of $94O, OO0
of 100000 for the general tax
levy out of which is paid the gen
eral running expenses of the
state government and made APP
preparations for the new tuber
culosis hospitals and issued bonds
for the new capitol wings. The
added improvements had to be
paid for, Attorney General
Black declared. and the equali
cation board had no other choice
than to fix levy which would
raise the taxes necessary to meet
the appropriations.
State taxes in 1918 amounted
to 1920 on each $1,000 worth of
property. This year under the
new state levy taxes will amount
to $3.50 on each $1,000 valua-
tion.-BOise Statesman.

The Dermott news., 1919-03-13

Bills providing for the formation of four new highway districts in Ghicot county passed both houses of the legis lature last week and were signed by the governor.
 The latest bill provides for three dis tricts to build roads as follows:
 Bennett Road Improvement District from Hudspeth east to connect with the Arkansas Louisiana Highway
 Robinson District. from Blissville east to the main highway
 Jerome District. from Morrell east to the main highway,
 These districts were named in honor of J. A Bennett. president of the Arkansas Louisiana Highway District Geo. (. Robinson. secretary of the Southeast Arkansas Development Blu reau. and Jerome Moehler, son of II. F. Moehler. manager of the Bliss Cook Oak Co. these three gentlemen having played prominent parts in securing this legislation and making possible the construction of these highways. They have also been named as commissioners of the three districts.
 The Gaines Landing Highway. as formerly outlined in this paper. will run from Gaines Landing to point about two miles south of Haley. con meeting there with the east fork of the Arkansas Louisiana Highway. The importance of this road can hardly be over estimated. as it brings Dermott a
