TAXES NOT
 CONFISCATORY
Bankers' Report Comments Fav0rably
 On Conditions in This State.

!, That Arkansas is not the victim of "confiscatory' Improvement and other taxes is in effect the finding of the Executive Committee, Mississippi Val ,ley Group of Investment Bankers As sociation of America, published on its recent report on Conditions in Arkan- sas."
 The report was made to ascertain the facts which were supposed to have been the basis of tartling reports which had been published in hte Beast con- corning tax conditions in this state.
 Summarizing the data complied by the committee which made an ex- haustive study of conditions, the re- port says:
 "The committee is of the opinion that Arkansas improvement bonds, as class. have been issued under due legal authority, with the consent of the governed; that the improvements were warranter in public opinion, re suited in enhanced values and in an improved working condition, and that the situation as to tn ecollection and payment of taxes compares most favor ably with the record of other states. Further, that where rare has been ex- ervised nthe selection of monds offer ed to the public and the fundamental requirements followed, all the evidence obtained was an assurance of the se- curity and stability of the bonds as an investment. and that viewing the situation as a whole, the criticism above mentioned was unwarranted ana that many of the statements made were false and misleading.
