Little Rock, June 12.-That there
are folks who do not attempt to evade
their just proportionate amount Of
taxation is shown by the fact that a
Little Rock man the other day yolu-
tarily assessed under the item of
ssnoney," the sum of $4,000. This
should be a rebuke to wealthy citi-
zens who, year after year, assess their
sshousehold goods" at $50, when they
have numerous pieces of furniture
that could not be bought foru that
much each. Undoubtedly the 4eatest
evil of the age is the evasion of taxes,
but Little Rock is by no means the
only offender. There is not county
or community in the state that is as
sessed as it should be, and this is one
Of the jobs that has been undertaken
