CELEBRATING THE 4th.

There ought to be general co-opera-
tion in the movement inaugurated by
the Chamber of Commerce to have
business suspended on July A that
employer and employe may observe
the nations birthday anniversary as
each deems best.
The observance of independence
Day should not only be safe and
sane," but a time for bordering just
what the occasion signifies--for the
nation and the individual. We ought
to make it time for impressing up
on all citizens the meaning of liberty.
as distinguished from license, as well
as appreciation of what the Stars and
Stripes mean to us and to the world.
The part the nation has taken in
the world war, and in obtaining lib
erty for peoples who never had en-
joyed elf-government increases the
responsibility of the American peo-
pie. As the United States has been
the cleaning light of hope for all
peoples who sought liberty, the
people of the United States must show
by example how that liberty ought to
be used.
Let us make this and future ami
versaries of American independence
occasions for Americanizing those
1ubC havn cOna tn this land tn en- lOV
its privileges, teach them responsi.
bilities of American citizenship, anc
inculcate proper respect for the
American flag.

80 MILLIONS OF
BONDS FOR ROADS
THRU ARKANSAS
This is Part of Plan for System
Special Sessions May
Discuss.
Rv Clio Harper

One of the questions which Govern
or Brough is considering IN connec-
ton with the call for the extraord1n-
ary session of the legislature is that
of the inclusion Of a project for a
state highway system that will co-or-
dinate the county and local roads,
The main features of the plan as
have been announced are:
The issuance of approximately $780,
100000 of serial bonds, the proceeds
to be used in the construction OF dur
able roads connecting the county
seats of the various. counties and the
principal towns on a unifor mplan
and with reference to the density of
traffic. The bonds are to be issued
from time to time and the construc-
ton progresses and the construction
is to begin simultaneously in differ
ent parts of the state.
The highway department and the
advisory board, as now constituted or
as may be enlarged, with such powers
as the legislature may see fit to con-
fer, would be authorized to contract
with improvement districts where
roads forming part of the state sys-
tenn are constructed or are in the pro-
cess of construction. The state would
pay to such districts, not exceeding
two thirds the value of the roads, the
funds to be used by the districts, eth
err in retiring their bonds, or to be
used in the construction of an i'm
proved type of surface.
Where the roads have not been con-
structed, the highway department and
the advisory board would be author
the improvement districts would con-
tribute toward the cost of the roads
adopted as a part of the state sys-
TEN not less than one-third of the.
cost. Under this plan the improve
ment districts would be utilized in
constructing the roads, but would
have to pay approximately only one
third of the cost of the road instead
of 100 per cent.
Would Increase Auto Tax
The license fees on motor vehicles
are to be increased so as to produce
an average of $25 per car or truck,
the fee to be graded according to the
horsepower on automobiles, and on
trucks according to the horsepower
and tonnage capacity. One-fifth of
the license fees is to be set aside as a
separate fund for the permanent
maintenance of the state roads, to be
expended by the state highway COM
mission under patrol system, subject
to the approval of the county courts
and to be apportioned according to
mileage and the quality of roads to
be built in each county. Four-fift
or approximately $40 of the fee for
each vehicle is to be set aside as a
sinking fund for paying the interest
and retiring the bonds as they fall
| due.
The interest and principal of the
bonds would be paid, first, out of the
proportion of the license fees set

Revenue Stamps for
Special Taxpayers
Are Now Available

Little Rock, June 25.-Revenue
stamps for so-called special tax-pay-
ers are now available for issuance by
Jack Walker, collector of internal
revenue. Special taxes are due on
July l for the ensuing fiscal year
ending June 80, 1920.
Principal businesses liable for spec
ial tax are dealers in narcotics, deal
ers in olemargarine, brokers, picture
shows, pool and billiard halls, taxi
cabs and pleasure boats. The special
excise tax on corporations known as
the capital stock tax is also due July
/.
Excepting the capital stock tax,
these taxes are payable by stamp
which may be had on proper applica-
ton to the collector.
Recent additional special taxes col
lected covered additional liability for
the current year and had nothing to
do with the new liability for the COM
ing year which begins July L." Col
lector Walker stated today, "and tax
payers should be careful to avoid con-
fusion regarding these separate la
bilities.'
Extension for Luxury Taxes.
The time for filing returns Of Ger
tain classes of takes has been ex-
tended according to Collector Walk
err. Dealers in art goods and jewel
ry have until June 80 to file returns
for the month of April. And the
time for filing returns for the month
Of May has been extended for persons
liable for return as bottlers, dealers
lin soft drinks and ice cream, manu-
sfacturefs, art dealers, jewelers. sand
firms selling articles which are tax
able under the luxury clause, such as
wearing apparel and the like. Per-
sons and firms liable for any of these
taxes should make application to the
collector for proper form on which re-
turn of tax is rendered.
With respect to these taxes, which
are paid monthly, Collector Walker
emphasized that records are to be
kept available for verification by re-
venue officers and should show the
number of transactions for each day
grouped according to class of taxable
transactions. He called attention to
the fact that mere record of tax
collected is not sufficient.
Pine Bluff daily graphic. (Pine Bluff, Ark.) 1893-1942, 1919-06-29

aside for the retirement of the bonds,
and as guaranty that interest ana
principal would be promptly met, 1t is
to be proposed that the legislature
levy a direct tax for such an amount
as may be necessary to meet any de-
ficiency in the contemplated license
fees.
Calculations based on a small IN
crease in motor vehicles for the next
five years is an average of 100000
motor licenses annually for the next
20 years, show that ample funds
would be raised from this source to
pay the interest and retire the bonds,
and in the meantime, maintain the
roads. The tax guaranty provision
would enable the state to sell the
bonds to a better advantage and at
Il lower rate of interest.
Those who have made a careful
study of the situation, are of the OPP
inion that law of this character
would make the burden less on the
property owners and result in a more
equitable system of building roads.
1t is probable that the call for the
extra session will not be issued until
the end of this week, as Governor
Brough is endeavoring to secure from
the members an expression of their
wishes in the premises.

REGULAR SHIPMENTS
OF SUGAR TO u. S

San Juan.-Shipments of Porto Ri
can sugar to New York will hereaf-
ter go forward on the original basis
of 10000 tons month, say the lat
est advices to the Sugar Producers
Association from the board of equal
ization of the United States ship
ping board. Shipments of sugar are
now being forwarded regularly after
a complete cessation for three weeks
in April.
: Three centrals which have so far
reported their output of sugar to the
association, show less than their es-
timated production by about 20 per
cent.
According to the latest figures of
the Sugar Producers association,
less than half of the sugar so far
ground throughout the island has
been shipped. Of the 1891 ,O0SS bags
manufactured, ,033 500 bags had been
shipped up to May II, while S3,491
bags had been sold for local consump-
ton. leaving balance on hand in the
island of 1,173,6S9 bags.
