GAS COMPANY GETS
BIG RATE INCREASE

Little Rock, July 8.-An increase
of about 60 per cent has been granted
by the Arkansas corporation commits
sion to the Clear Greek Oil and Gas
Company. The increase had been
opposed by the Fort Smith Spelter
Company, the Arkansas Zinc and
Smelling Corporation, and the Ath-
letic Mining and Smelling Company
From evidence filed with the COM
mission, it was made to appear that
the gross receipts Of the company last
year We're 100000, and it is est
mated that on the same basis Of con-
sumption the receipts should be
$l64,000 per annu m.
The principal item of increase is
from A to 8 cents per thousand cubic
feet for the gas used by the smelling
concerns, or just double what they
have been paying
The new schedule of rates follows;
Domestic gas for Fort Smith and
vicinity, % cents per 1000 feet.
For the KILLER field. Is cents.
Power and industrial gas-First
800 NJ Is cents; next 300 NJ. 10
cents; next 2,400 NJ. 10 cents; all
over 5000 NJ. cents.
The increased rates become effec-
tive July i, and will continue in eff
feet for 10 months.

PRICES TOO HIGH
FOR SCHOOL WING
TO USE FRAME BUILDING
School Board Figures Four Room Ad-
dition Would Cost $1,000
Expedient Devised.

Finding that an addition of four
rooms to the present building, the
plan finally adopted, would cost IN
excess of funds the district has for
this purpose, directors of the Conway
special district have practically decid-
ed to place a frame structure on the
public school campus and to use it un-
til more permanent uarters can be
arranged. ". B. Clayton, secretary of
the board, said today that hope of
starting and completing the wing on
the present building had virtually
been abandoned, and that the purpose
of the board now is to have a frame
structure ready by the time the next
session is opened in September. As
now planned by the board, the frame
building would be of only two rooms,
these to be for the two teachers add
ed to the faculty,
1t is barely possible, member of
the board said, that a part of the old
school building, removed when the
brick building was erected, will be
repurchased and returned to the cam
pus to serve until the plant can be
enlarged. AS planned by the board,
the building would be divided into
two large rooms, and would serve to
accommodate the overflow from the
present building. If this plan can not
be carried out, the board hopes to i'm
mediately have frame building erect
ed. Sessions of the board have been
past session, and much time and
thought devoted to finding the solution
of its problem.
Whatever construction is undertake
en- will be from proceeds of the bond
issue of 100000 agreed upon at the
conclusion of the successful effort to
increase the revenue of the district by
public contributions, which were made
last spring during the drive put on by
the Conway Commercial Club This
fund, together with the increased re-
venue from taxation, made possible the
bond issue, which was made large
enough to retire outstanding indebted
ness and at the same time cover the
cost of an addition to the building.
All school districts in the county
will have increased revenue from 1920
taxes, according to preliminary
statement made by Assessor Roy Rog-
ers from the assessment lists. For
the Conway special district, the in
crease will be over $4,000 as compared
with the revenue from 1918 taxes.
District in outlying sections of the
county have also assumed higher as
sessments to aid their public schools.
District No. 81, which is on the Ar
kansas river, will add $928.92 to its
school revenues through higher as
sessments, and No. Is will add S639.77.
Other districts, while not making in
creases as large as these, have in
creased assessments considerably, and
school revenues will reflect the In

STATE POLITICAL
RACES NEARING END
CAMPAIGNS WARMING UP
Still "Anybody's Race" For Governor
and Senator, Little Rock Cor
respondent Asserts.
(By Clio Harper.)

Little Rock, July 8.-Four weeks
from next Tuesday the biennial pri-
mary of the Democratic party in Ark
ansas will be held. 1t is much later
than usual and the vote will be
watched with great interest by polit-
zeal experts. Those who advocated
the change in the primary date from
spring to midsummer, argued that it
would be to the better interests of the
farmer; which indirectly argued that
it would be to the better interests of
of the candidate as well
The campaign for various state of
fices has reached the affidavit stage
and some of the candidates are filling
the mails and newspapers with char
ges against their opponents, backed
up by the "sworn and subscribed to
before me" type Of argument. All
nine of the aspirants for governor are
actively pressing their claims before
the people. A great deal of money is
being spent, but in the absence Of any
evidence to the contrary, it must be
that all of it is being spent legitimate
ly. The state is being flooded with
pamphlets containing speeches and ar
guments by the various candidates.
All of them are canvassing the state
personally and arousing much interest
among their followers by the vigor of
their attacks upon the opposition
Outside issues are being logged into
the fight and the principal issue dis
cussed seems to be opposition to ex-
listing conditions in the state govern
ment.
So far the candidates for governor
and United States senator have avoid
ed personal clashes on the stump and
only in rare instances have as many
two of them gotten together on the
same platform. 1t would be presump-
tuous on the part of any one and GER
tainly indicative of partisan bias to
make predictions as to the strongest
candidate. Never before in the his
tory of Arkansas politics has it been
so strikingly case of "anybody's
race"
There are no notable Developments
in any of the minor contests. The
ticket will close July 10, 80 days be-
fore the election and it is believed that
there will be no new candidates to be
announced. Up to the present time
Ira Hopper is the only announced can
didate for secretary of the state, al
though T. C. Cargile has said that
he proposes to make the race. He
has not yet, however, filed his pledge.
J. T. Coston is making an active
campaign against f. A. Nc Culloch
for chief justice. Noil Bohlinger and
Senator ]. s. Utley are engaged in a
pretty fight for encouragement. A.
J. McAmis and 0. s. Ref are contest
ing for the nomination of state audi
tor. Other state officers have no oppo-
sition.

munities of very industrious people.
l took pleasure in going over the
farms of NJ. B. Fields, Rev. Goblin, D.
W. Brewer, n. Brewer, Cain and
Bonds and judging from the quantity
of corn planted, they will not havev to
buy another ear.
Thursday I entered Solomon Grove
again, and. a trip over Will Owens
farm. He has in a very large crop Of
cotton and corn and melons. l did
not call to see H. W. Owens as I wan
ted to hold meeting. L. Cain was
very anxious to have me visit his crop
but time would not allow. We held
splendid meeting at night and deci-
ded to hold our club rally at Solomon
Grove on July %. This community is
anxious for the melting. We hope this
meeting may be well attended by all
