ASSESSMENTS INCREASED
Tax Commission Reports That Assess. ments Have Been Increased.

Little Rock, Doc. g. - tSpecaal) y There has been very considerable in- crease in assessments tor the present year as indicated by reports which have been received and compiled by the State Tax Commission. sixty-six of the 75 counties not including Gar land and Pulaski, repoat . total as- sessment of $611, ,S25.Sss.'. The same counties last year, according to ths reports of the County Clerks. made their taxes collections upon a basis ot $58S, ,161 ,065. On account of the cam paign that Is being waged for increas- ed assessments and for the assessment of property that has heretofore not been on the books. it is expected that the net reduction from the assessments reported will be very small, possibly the total will he increased. The equal ization board of Pulaski county has added several million dollars to the list and four million dollars was added by the tax commission to the Garland county list.

new D. & TAX BILL
IN SENATE TOMORROW
Senator Jones Commends Flexible
Rate as Most Sensible
Plan,

The District appropriation bill.
amended go as to restore the half-and-
half plan Of appropriating for the
District Of Columbia and to make the
tax rate flexible. so as to raise in
District revenues an amount similar
to that provided by the federal gov
ernment as its contribution to the up
keep and development of the National
Capital, is to be laid before the full ap-
propriations committee tomorrow. 1t
probably will be reported to the Sem
ate Immediately after the committee
meeting.
The provision restoring the half
and-half plan and establishing the
flexible tax rate was contained in an
amendment offered by Senator Jones
of Washington. a member of the sub
committee. It is a return to the origi-
nal provisions Of the organic act of
rate.
Senator Jones said last night that
the flexible tax rate was the most
sensible manner of dealing with the
matter. and similar to the practice In
many OF the states. where needs are
first determined and taxes are then
levied to meet those needs.
while the present -and-half
plan remains the law Congress will
fix by it's appropriations the amount
which the government is to contribute
and also the amount which is to be
raised in District taxation" said
Senator Jones. THE District Com
missioners, having the property roll
of the District, will merely fix the
| percentage Of the tax rate sufficient to
raise the Districts share. If the
proportion of the governments con-
tribution should be fixed by law in
| the future at As per cent or 40 pei
cent or so per cent the same process
' for raising the Districts share Of the
expenses will continue to operate"

modern psychiatrist. according
to an article by the late DR.. r.
Z. Southard. former director of
the Massachusetts State Psychi-

Psych.atry. which Is to play

to solve the problems of the
troublesome employe and. work
ing with social investigators. to
search out the causes of his
abnormaIity, he explained.
Strikes, which arise from real
or fancied difficulties. may be
brought about because of the
dissatisfac ction of few slightly
irregular" workmen of assert

ers to lay down their tools. DR..
Southard said. adding that the

BY n. o. MESSENGER.

According to big-wigs in the
republican party. the presidential
nomination contest is now at the
stage where they have pretty well
defined ideas as to who will not be
nominated, but blessed If they can
prophesy who will be nominated.
This. Of course. refers to politi-
clans. outside of leaders. who are
tied up to some particular candi-
date.
Such situation lends itself,
naturally, to a process of elimina-
ton which, they say. is now go
Ing on in their calculations. The
fact should be noted at this point
that for several weeks word has
been passed around among i'm
portant republicans-men who
may be expected to have influ-
ence with the large uninstructed
delegations to the convention-that
Wood canot be elected II nomi-
mated"
Entirely regardless Of the merits
or mendaciousness of the state
ment. it is certainly being spread
most assiduously. Obviously, 1t is
designed to disparage his pros
poets for the nomination, to pre-
vent a bandwagon stampede and
to SOW the seeds Of doubt in the
minds Of the undecided.
Along with that. there is going
the rounds a supplementary alle-
cation that Hiram Johnson can
not get the nomination.; that he
will cut a wide swath. but cannot
win a majority vote. So they are
marking him off their cards in the
final heat. Then they add that
Herbert Hoover must not be al
run away with the nomination,
because that eventuality would
not fit into the plans Of any OF
them, anywhere or anyhow.
Curses on the very thought!
Passing rapidly over the incon-
sistency of the objection that
Wood must not be nominated be-
cause he could not be elected, and
Hoover must be turned down be-
cause he could be elected, they
reach the next name and find that
Gov. Lowden is not getting the
votes in the primaries indicating
him to be high favorite. Wher-
ever there is a showdown at pres
ent, he is running behind all the
others. And thus far Senator
Harding has hardly Showed"
So the elimination process seems
to be working both ways from the
middle and taking in others be-
sides the original eliminees.

Fight Over Chairmanship.

Senator Sutherland OF West Vir-

ed. and some regarded as selling

Gus to mention by name. Truly
it might look to an outsider as If
these republicans were in a guam
Diary.
But uncertainty over candidates
Is not the only trouble which
threatens the republicans. The
shadow Of another row between
the progressives and the regulars
is beginning to loom ominousiy
The progressives are threatening
to start something" over the tenn
porary Craftsmanship Of the con-
vention. This Is regarded as not
at all chubby" by the regulars,
who point out that the national
organization always organizes and
starts the convention off, and it
happens that the organization is
now controlled by the regulars. If
there must be a fight. 1t Is argued.
why not let it come over the per-
manent Craftsmanship?
4 4 \ X.
There Is question. however,
whether the progressives can gain
their point. as there is sharp di-
vision among them. The pro-
gressives are presumed to be the
followers, respectively. of Gen.
Wood and Senator johnson of CAL
ifornia, and at present they hate
the sight of each other. 1t is pos
sible they might postpone their
feud long enough to combine to
wallop the old guard, except that
there Is another difficulty: 1t is
proposed to put up Senator Borah
as the progressive candidate for
temporary chairman, and he Is ir-
reconcilably opposed to the league
of nations. while many progress
sives are for the league with mild
reservations.
Gen. Wood. leader Of one band
of progressives, Is a mild reser-
vationist. while Senator johnson,
captain of the other band, Is an
out-and-out irreconcilable. This
division over the league would
place some Of the old-line repub-
licans In an embarrassing posi-
tion There are Senators Brande-
gee. Knox, Moses, Penrose and
others who are irreconcilables on
the treaty question and yet would
shudder at the thought of turn
Ing the convention over to the
progressives.
Il + i \
1t Is declared that w. Murray
Crane and the professional paci-
fiers are lying awake O. nights
over this prospect of trouble and
that the "Peck's bad boys" of the
party-mentioning no names-afe
in high glee and plotting all the
trouble they can make.
AL these things are well known
among politicians of both parties
at the capital, and the democrats
are greatly concerned over the do
mestio troubles OF the republicans.
Aside from hoping they choke"
they are very sorry for their
friend the enemy.
It was said in well informed re-
nublican circles yesterday that
Gov. Morrow of Kentucky may be
presented as compromise candi-
data for temporary chairman.
