COMMERCIAL
 CLUB B PICKUPS s

When Ray Gill, secretary of the Busi- ness Mems Club at Fort Smith re- turned from the convention of South ern Commercial Secretaries held at Jacksonville, Fla, last month he re- ported that one of the keynotes of the convention was agricultural develop ment as the greatest work for com mercial organizations. Improvement of agriculture and general living con- ditions, improvement of rural schools, better roads and better market facil- ities, he stated, would be the work of many chambers of commerce during the next year. In this connection it is interesting to note that the Mena Commercial Club has directed the most of it's activities along these lines even long before this convention was held. During the month of March Z5O farmers in the trade territory tributory to Mena received the fol lowing letter signed by the member ship committee and the secretary:
 Tn order to reach the highest and best development in community one of the most essential clements is CO., operation. In community like Mena and its trade territory, the develos- ment of the agricultural resources is one of the surest means of reaching general prosperity, and to that end it has been the policy of the Executive Committee of the Commercial Club to encourage the secretary in every activity which would help the farmers.
 You are in position to estimate the the value of this service. You know how much of the secretary's time has been devoted to the development of the agricultural industries of the trade territory tributary to Mena. If you think it has been worth while. we ask your cooperation that the work may pc continued. We have just made membership canvass of the city, and are writing you this letter as an in- Vltation to enroll as a member of the CiuD. We want you to attend our meetings and help us work out some of our mutual problems. We want you to use the secretary in solving some Of your individual problems. We all feahze that when we know each other better we will understand each other better, and that by cooperation we can accomplish more for the good of all" e1 VI .. :. ::

THE SENATE TOMORROW
Penrose Thinks it Will be Ready
for Presidents Signature
Next Month.

Washington, Sept. 20.--The House
tax bill as amended by the Senate
finance committee was being whipped
into shape today for presentation to-

ure win be passed az soon as the BUSH
ness OF the Senate will permit. and
Chairman Penrose expects 1t to be
sent to the President by the latter
part of next month.
Repeal of the excess profits tax and
reduction of the maximum income
sur-tax rate from 65 per cent to 30
per cent are the provisions expected
to draw most of the opposition FIRE on
the Senate floor. Democratic leaders
hope to marshal their forces solid
ly against these proposals and they
count on support from the Republican
side.
Opposition also is promised against
the Senate committee provision tc
continue the freight and passenger
taxes for the calender year 1929, a,
half the present rates. The House
voted to eliminate all these levies and
some members OF the ways and means
committee expect IL to insist upon
their full repeal as of next January 1
should the Senate vote to retain them
Senator penrose does not expect
any serious delay in consideration OF
the bill and is Of the opinion that Il
can be passed after two weeks de.
bate. He is not certain now when 4
will be possible to get IL before tn,
Senate, but says he win press for Il,
consideration as soon as possible.

rs ADVERTISING A CRIMEf

Congress, after n series OF public
hearings before joint committee

has permitted the Postoffice Depart
ment to increase the already high
postage rate on that portion OF a
magazine which contains advertising
matter. In other words, at a time
when business throughout the coun-
try needs every announcement pos
sible our government goes out Of its
way to put an added burden on the
creator of business.
ut lis great mistake TO consider
advertising as an index OF business, y
writes Roger w. Babson. "Advertis-
ing Is far rnore-it is the creator. OF
business. Where railroad earnings
may be compared to the thermometer
which registers the heat, advertising
may be compared 10 the sun whicf
