By DAVID LAWRENCE.
Especial to The Argus.)

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator
Hiram johnson Of California has
declared war again. This time he
is turning his guns "on the forces
of reaction" which are aiming to
eliminate the direct primary sys-
tenn and 60 back to the convention
method Of selecting party candi-
dates. Mr.. Johnson will go out on
the stump and carry his cause to
the people directly in the various
states where the assault on the
primary. is greatest-New York
Iowa, Indiana and western states
Senator Johnson sees in the atti-
tude of Governor Miller of New
York and the utterances of other
executives another attack on the
primary system which he does moi
intend to pass by without q fight
He has warm words Of praise to-
day for the recent speech ol
Charles Evans Hughes defending
the primary system.

HARDING WANTS
FRILLS CUT OUT
OF INAUGURAL.
Asks for Omission Of Ex-
pense, Ball, Parade
and Festivity.

Marion, Ohio, in. 11.-If Presi-
dent-elect Harding has his way, the
Inauguration of March 4, next, will
be as devoid of frills as a frontier
wedding. Having overturned plans
for revival of the inaugural ball
and a spectacular parade, he indi-
Gated today that SO far as he con-
sistently could, he would keep away
from whatever crowds assembled
in Washington for the event and
make the change of administration
just a matter of taking. the execu-
tive Offices under new management.
The president-elect's preference
was made known in kilograms he
sent last night to inaugural ON
cials in Washington, asking that in
the interest of public thrift, the
ball, the parade and every other
show oi pomp and festivity, be
omitted. Instead of taking the oath
from a specially built platform on
the capitol steps, he suggested that
it be administered quickly within
the capitol itself. and then that he
be left free to 30 to work without
more ado.
Against Cash Outlay.
Not only did Mr.. Harding request
that the $4,000 appropriation for
grandstand seats on the capitol
!, grounds be dropped, but he a.shed
that not a cent of money be spent
on his induction into ofice. How
far the inaugural officials and pub
lie will let Mr.. Harding have his
way remains to be seen.,

Fire Prevention
 Booklet Issued

Little Rock, Jan. 3.-The con- servation division of the Arkansas Fire Prevention Bureau has issued a four-page leaflet giving, in con else form, the annual loss through fire in the state, examples of tire through carelessness, which resulted in the loss of property and lives last year, and a series of precautions which may be followed in every to prevent fire hazards.
 The Arkansas Fire Prevention Bureau advises that not only civic beauty, and physical health result from the removal of waste, rub bish and junk from the premises but that a lower insurance cost IS a practical outcome of these simple precautions. The leaflet says 1T part: "Few people realize that they are unsafe citizens, dangerous neighbors, practical arsonists an6 not far removed from subconscioa criminals for not removing fire haz ards and safeguarding their home l and business plants against fire.

Income Tax Ruling
 To Help Merchants

Little Rock, Dee. 31.-Tre local Internal Revenue office is recelving inquiries from dealers over the state as to how to take inventories Tor winding up the years business, ana figuring the income tax.
 Because of the fact that the cost is higher this year, and the market lower, merchants are asking wheth- CT they will be allowed to estimate the income tax on an inventory or stocks, based on the lowest pf1ce or price of replacement in this case. The internal revenue officers say that the ruling is the dealer may do so, provided he has taken his in- ventory on the lowest price since 1918, and not on the cost. In l9ie and the year following, the cost was lower and the market price higher, and this is the first year, 1t IS sald that this question of cost and marker has demanded attention.
 ''The question of taking inveh tories," said A. V. Smith, chief cleri in the official of Internal Reyenu' Collector Jack Walker, "has sud denly become very important on ac count of the recent slump m prlce and the fact that dealers .everywner'

EARLY CHICKS INSURE
 EGGS FOR NEXT WINTER

To insure eggs for next winter chicks should be matched early Tn the spring and given good growth, advises H. B. Lansden, poultry spec .ialist of the Agricultural Extension Division, University of Arkansas. Poultry breeders should watch for the best layers through December and January and mark them be- cause they make the best breeders.
 It is best to begin now while there is plenty of time to prepare for early matching, MT. Lansden further advises. Get out the incubator that was stored away last year, clean It up and see that every part IS Tn order. Order the necessary parts if any are missing and have them on hand so that delay wont be caused when matching season starts.
 Thorough disinfecting is necessary if good results are to be obtained
 The brooder and brooder house should be renovated and the broodel put in good working condition Ii the poultry raiser expects to ust "Old Biddy" as the incubator, sh' should be provided with specia breeding room or dark shed and re
