Taxpayers to Meet
 To Raise T0.r Rate

Jonesboro, April 14.--Judge Will jam Fuller has called mass meet ing of taxpayers of the county for Friday afternoon to take definite action in circulating the petitions to secure signers agreeing to pay the extra five mills taxes which IS to be applied on the Maccabee judgement of $87,000 against the county in order to prevent the mandamus proceeding issued some time ago from becoming effective requiring the taxpayers to assess their property at 100 cents on the dollar. The lodge officials have agreed to this if the taxpayers will obligate themselves. It is very cer- tain that there will be large ma jority to sign up, and those who do not sign will not fight the extra millage, but pay it on the regular assessment, it is thought.

Civic Clubs.

Club life in Washington seems to be
increasing in activity. The old clubs
do not seem to be languishing or de-
spairing. and new clubs are being an
nounced. There are women's clubs,
mems clubs and children's clubs
clubs with all manner of aims and pur.
poses.
There is a slant which the club idea
has taken in recent years which is
worthy Of notice. 1t leans toward the
association Of men and women for
civic betterment," which is popular
phrase that has come to stand for that
which makes city a better place to
live in and also teaches better living to
people in that city. The old club idea
was generally one that the members
should secure detachment from their
fellow citizens. 1t was social or pro-
fessional, or social and professional.
Those clubs still multiply and prosper.
but many new clubs have come into
being with a somewhat different idea
from the mutual diversion and amuse-
ment Of the members. The new clubs
aim at improving affairs and mortals
outside the club doors. They invite
to membership men Of diverse occu-
pations, cast Of thought. heredity and
that special placement in community
called social standing" They ask all
these men to come and work with the
club to increase. it's usefulness to all
men.
The other evening when a charter
was presented to the recently organ
lied Civitan Club of Washington by
Senator Underwood he told Of the
work Of civitan clubs in other cities
"in awakening the civic consciousness
Of men throughout the nation" The
Rotary Club and the Kiwanis Club had
representatives present to extend
greetings to the Civilians. The Rotary.
Kiwanis and Civitan clubs do not con-
cludo the list OF the new idea" clubs.
They are numerous and growing.

Medicine is going hand in hand with
surgery. Advances in the conquest

progress is made toward the solutions
Of the most obstinate problems OF
health preservation. Remarkable
gains have been made against leprosy.
Recently at the Molokai leper colony
in Hawaii 200 cases were discharged
as cured as result of the new oil
treatment. Cancer. too. has been
marked for conquest by methods soon,
it is understood, to be announced.
All this Right suggest that the prob
lem Of lfeshas been solved and that
disease and accident are reduced to
such point that a long span will be
added to human existence. Vital
statistics, however. do not indicate any
prolongation Of life. Yet the statis-
tician of half century hence may find

The thing needed just now Is to

one has been holding back. Nobody
has known what the tax rates would

has known what the wage
costs would be, or how distributed.
has known what the price

Just as soon as Congress gives the
word of what the taxes will be. manu-

provided they can be as
sured that the labor cost will not be

ton will be reasonable. So 1t is to be
seen that this problem is not merely a
matter of assuming a confident front
and casting out fear and saying. how

many interests and impulses and

Supporting the Nominee.

The democrats Of Virginia have been
struggling with a vexatious party
questionable question Of the split
ticket last year. with the result that
the republican vote in certain sections
was large.
This was resented by the democratic
authorities. and they secured a legal
opinion to the effect that voters who
had thus offended were not entitled
to participate in the democratic pri-
mary scheduled for this coming
August, when full state ticket is to
be nominated.
But the politicians gave the matter
second thought. and have decided not
to press the point. Instead. they will
exact a promise Of all who offer to par
ucipate in the coming primary to sup.
port the nominees for election:
The second thought was best.. and It
ought to accomplish the object in view.
Those who take part in a primary
ought to accept the result-at any rate
ought not to oppose it at the polls. The
dose may be bitter, but fair dealing
and good politics advise that it be
swallowed.
An eminent democrat struggled with
this question last year. Mr.. Bryan did
not like either the ticket or the plat
form sponsored by his party at San
Francisco, and felt unable to take the
stump. But. as he had participated in
the convention, he considered himself
bound by it's action; and so when poll.
ing day arrived he went to his polling
place and pumped for regularity's
sake for Gov. Cox. and for a platform
that was anything but agreeable to
him as dry.
Had he not done this; II irregularity
could now be established against him,
the Coxites and the McAdooites, who
are watching his movements with
some concern, would be much easier
in their minds about 1924.

Whirring Industry, ,Hoover'sAim

trade development. with the organ
lied industries of the country sup
porting it, has been framed as a re-
suit of a series of conferences which
Secretary Hoover has had with lead
ers in the principal Industries. 1t de-
pends on the recommendations Of the
voluntary committees from the in
dustries where these expert investi-
gators will begin their commodity
studies. designed to develop foreign
markets.
Take chemicals and the wide field of
allied products-the first concern of
the voluntary committee will proba-
bly, be to find as much OF a market
abroad as possible for the surplus
products made possible by expansion
lem of all industry-to build up the
foreign trade so as to keep the wheels
Of industry revolving happily.
Tho need for this was emphasized
by Chairman Good Of the House ap-
propriations committee when this
item was under debate in the House.
He laid stress on Secretary Hoovers
explanation that foreign trade in the
last six months has dropped of some

Chairman Good. He said the amount
involved in the appropriation is a
nero tribe and that the members of
the committee did not dare to take
tho responsibility for denying that
amount Tn this hour OF paralysis
Of American trade" he said. "all loyal
Americans should lift themselves S
above themselves and give this de-
partment what 1t asks and thus help
develop foreign trade"
In visioning the problem Secretary
Hoover takes cognizance OF the fact
that we have passed through q post

a world vacuum in commodities; that
We are suffering both from the after
