TONES BROS.
 IS MOVING
WHOLESALE HARDWARE HOUSE WILL BE ENTIRELY AT HOME IN NEW BUILDING BY THE END OF THIS WEEK MUCH STOCK ALREADY REMOVED.

For several weeks the Zones Bros. Hardware Company has been empty ing its warehouses by removal of the stock stored there to the company's new building at Second and Rock streets. By the end of this week the offices will be completed and the officials and clerical forces will move from the Main street location to the new building. The Zones Bros. Hardware Company maintained three warehouses in Little Rock and all were we'll stored. The merchandise from them fills three floors and the basement of the five-story building and when the stock from the Main street store is removed, the capacity of the new building will be reached. The new building has frontage of 130 feet on Rock street and 203 feet on Second street. The five stories and basement give total floor space of 100000 square feet. There is loading platform extending the en- tire length of the building on Second street, giving the company much bet ter facilities for trucking and for loading counry wagons than enjoyed by any other concern in the city.
 The building is of reinforced con- crete construction, and although fire proof, is equipped with the Globe automatic sprinkler system, with a sprinkler head every eight feet. Wa ter for the system is supplied by 25,000-gallon tank on the roof.
 Two micro-leveling electric eleva- tors will handle inbound freight, one located on the north side adjacent to the railroad switch, to handle carload freight, and one located at the south side of the building, to handle local freight
 Outbound freight will be handled with the gravity metal chutes, which will deliver the packages to the load ing-out platform. An electric con- veying machine will be employed to deliver freight from the basement to the first floor. Freight for the base ment will be discharged direct from the car by metal chutes, then to the various parts of the building by port able gravity conveyors, thus elimi- mating trucking.
 The freight elevator is Is feet square, and has lifting capacity of 10000 pounds. The other elevator is six feet wide and eight feet long, with lifting capacity of 5000 pounds.
 A private railroad switch runs the entire length of the building on the north side and will enable the com pany to unload seven carloads of stock at one time.
 Two large boilers and heating plant in the basement will supply steam heat to all parts of the struc- ture.
 The office and salesrooms are on Rock street, running from the alley to Second street. The salesrooms will be 92 by l30 feet with l5-foot ceiling. Modern fixtures will be used in displaying merchandise, and corps of competent salesmen will be in charge to insure prompt atten- ton to merchants. A private tele- phone exchange will connect all de- partments, and a wire basket carrier system will save time of carrying or ders from one department to another.

VAUGHAN BILL !. IS DISAPPROVED
LITTLE ROCK NATIONAL FARM
 LOAN ASSOCIATION GOES ON RECORD AGAINST PROPOSED
 TAX MEASURE.

Little Rock, Ark, Jan. 10, 1921. To the Honorable Thoss C. McRae,
 Governor, and the Honorable Mem
 bers of the 43rd General Assembly
 of Arkansas:
 We, the undersigned, citizens of Pulaski county, beg your earnest con ssideration of our views on the fol- lowing questions:
 CD We disapprove of the pro- posed bill, being prepared by Sena- tor George Vaughan, to assess. all property at its full value; (a) be- cause it would double, at once, the burdens of taxation, already heavy, unless a scale of immediate reduc- ton of assessments, now provided by statute, in every department of pulp lie expenditure by the provisions of said bill, be put into effect at the same time with the general provi- sions of said bill; (b) the tax dodgers could no more be reached than under the present per cent sys tenn, which arose under the general revenue bill framed soon after the adoption of the constitution of 1874, which said "All property should be assessed at its fair market value. But most real estate deals then, as now were made on time payments, hence, the present system arose. Be sides, we believe, a. reduction scale as under "(a)" would cause great *expense for clerical work, books, etc, and the tax-dodgers can be more effectively reached by a statute that =lists every form of investment, tan gible or. intangible, that is now known to, or engaged in by capital ists.
 CD Whereas, the General Assem- bly, of 1919, and subsequent extra sessions, passed a great number of road bills and other local measures, seeking to authorize issuing an i'm mense number of bonds, thereby mortgaging our property, and entail ing an intolerable burden of debt upon us and our children, reducing us to a condition of slavery more galling than that of the galley slaves of the dark ages or that of the Afri- can in the ante-bellum days; and in each case, cut off our constitutional right to a referendum. And, where as certain promoters and number of the commissioners, as in the case of the Arkansas-Missouri Highway, have perverted the original plan of bills to a system of roads unneces- sary, and thereby blocked further much needed road construction; and have thereby already booked assess ments that in some instances are con- fiscatory. Therefore, we most cor dially endorse the enactment of bill to prohibit the issuing of bonds or the collection of taxes for any road construction until a proper descrip- fion of each proposed road to be con- structed in a biennial period, and a proper estimate of cost of construc- lion be submitted to the citizens of the county of locality affected by the Construction of said road or roads; and in no case shall confiscatory tax be levied and collected.
 @ (3) And, whereas the zenith of Financial initiation, resulting from the late war, has been reached and passed, and contraction and reusltant lowering of prices is rapidly setting in. Therefore, we favor a general law being enacted enjoining and pro- viding for retrenchment and lower

WAUNITA WEEK sue
CESSFULLY CELEBRATED
Gunnison Empire.

Gunnison Empire.
The yearly meeting of the Waunita
Society began Wednesday of last
week with the dedication of their
fine new auditorium building and
continued throughout the week, con-
Guiding Saturday evening with a
Grand Ball attended by over two hun
dred guests from all points in the
county as well as Montrose, Salida,
and other outside cities
At the latter portion of the enter
tainment free lunch and coffee were
served to the dancers by the hotel
management, Sitter Brothers.
A novel part of the dedicatory SER
emony was the breaking of bottle
of radium water by the little daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Gilbert Davis,
after brief dedicatory speech. The
little lady officiated quite as eff
GENTLY as the ones who christen our
battleships and the crowd appreci-
ated her efforts.
The long program of four days does
not admit of specific mention of
items, but it is sufficient to say that
each day was filled with good, clean
intellectual entertainment and that
the entire proceedings were greatly
enjoyed by all.
Some very celebrated vocalists,
readers and orators from the. east,
helped to make success of this
annual meeting.
