PLEASED WITH NEW
 HOME IN FAULKNER

In renewing his subscription to the Democrat for another year Phillip Lofts of near Conway says he sure would be lonesome without his good old home paper, for through it he keeps in touch with so many of his good friends and acquaintances each week. Mir. Lofts says he loves the name of good old Van Buren county, for it's people are his friends.
 He adds that he is well pleased with his new home in Faulkner coun- ty, (He lives in the Sunny Gap neigh borhood) where they have excellent society, good schools, level land, etc. MT. Lofts says he has beautiful home and his family is well pleased. We have some frogs and mosquitoes, but not so awful bad. As for fish, lots of them in the fields, but hard to catch 'em. No good, if you could, for they are the kind that swim back ward and stay in the grass.
 One thing here that I am proud of, says he, is our good roads with no hills nor rocks. Another thing men, toned is "a fine singing class, regu- lar meetings being held each Sunday afternoon. Classes often visit and sing together. Tell MT. Farris he ought to come down and visit us."
 Mir. Lofts formerly lived on the mountain, between Clinton and Bee Branch, moving to his present loca- ton, six miles east of Conway last fall. He has many friends in this county who wish him and his family health and happiness in their new home.-Clinton Democrat.

HARD-SURFAC|NC
 OF ROAD BEGUN

The first hard-surfacing of the new highways in Faulkner county will be started this afternoon or tomorrow. when crushed rock will be laid on the Sllonia pike, beginning at the present terminus of the concrete paving on East Oak street. A quarry has been opened about three miles east of Con- way and the stone will be hauled from that point.
 A sub-contract for the hard-sur- facing of the highway has been let by the Oliver Construction Company to P. J. Lewelling. The latter is to- day unloading large steam roller to be used on the work. The stone will be laid to a depth of nine inches after rolling, after which top surface of asphalt and fine stone will be applied.
 Commissioners of the Conway and Palarm district have also notified the contractor to begin hard-surfacing on that highway, and the work is ex- pected to begin within the next two weeks. The surfacing will be started at the south end of the paving on Front street and will be carried from that point southward to Palarm, al though work will be in progress at several different points on the road at the same time

MINNESOTA GOES
 STRONG FOR ROADS
(By the Associated Pressl )

St. Paul, Minn., May 9.-Minnesota's 100000 good roads project, to permanently improve highways con- meeting the principal towns and the ten thousand lakes for which the state is famous, was launched this week.
 Charles M. Babcock, state highway commissioner, has organized main tenance force of more than 1000 men, with a patrolman for each five-mile section and special gangs to keep the gravel roads in best condition until paving is laid over the entire 7,000- mile system. Actual operations started May 1. Contracts for ad- ditional hard-surfacing will be award ed soon, according to the highway de- partment, which will spend approx'- mately $1O,000000 on highways this season and increasing amounts each year thereafter.
 The Babcock good roads plan was adopted at the last election and put into effect by the legislature which has just adjourned. Improvements will be financed with the proceeds of per cent tax on the list price of motor vehicles, in lieu of other levies. A state advalorem tax levy of 1 per cent and local levies will be continued to provide funds for improvement of lateral or feeder roads.
 Minnesota already has long stretch es of paving on arterial routes and hundreds of miles of smooth gravel roads. Completion of the Babcock plan will mean good road to every farm

A JUST TAX
(Article No. 1 Taxation Series


Adam Smith reduced political
same place in economics that Darwin
does in biology and Blackstone in
law. Adam Smith taught as the
first principle of taxation, that ''the
subjects of every state ought to con-
tribute towards the support of the
government, as nearly as possible in
proportion to their respective abili-
ties; that is in proportion to the reve-
ues which they respectively enjoy
under the protection of the state"
No law-maker has ever been able
to improve upon this statement and
a tax law based upon this principle
is a model of justice and economy.
The first and most important prob
lem in taxation is to determine what
constitutes ability to pay. Adam
Smith in the second part of his max
i'm says that it is the ven which
the citizen enjoys under the protec-
ton of the state. Legislative AS
semblies for many years after Adam
Smiths time measured the amount of
revenue enjoyed and therefore the
ability to pay taxes, by the value of
the property owned. Under this in
depreciation of ability to pay the
support of the government was pro-
vided mainly by a property tax. A
general property tax is levied upon
the theory that persons can afford
to pay in proportion to the respec-
tive values of their property. This,
however, is only a partial truth. All
kinds of property do not give the
same returns. 1t is a well-known
fact that farm lands return to their
owners a low rate of interest as com
pared with certain kinds of manufac-
turtles. Then in some years owing to
drouth, flood, pestilence or fire a
property may sustain an actual loss.
But under the principle of a gener-
ell property tax, all enterprises oper-
ated at a loss must pay the same to-

ward the support of the government
as those operated at a profit. In
doubtedly the amount of property
owned is one measure of ability to
pay and a portion of the revenues
for the support of the state should be
raised by a general property tax. The
protection of property bu such peace
officers as the police, sheriffs, state
wardens and the courts of justice
IS an expense to the government and
for that reason all property should
be assessed for tax purposes and
that a great injustice results when
property escapes its fair proper
ton of taxes.
Montana depends mainly upon a
property tax for the support of the
state. The Constitution of Montana,
Article XII, Section |, says: '"The
necessary revenue for the support
and maintenance of the state shall
be provided by the legislative as
sembly, which shall levy a uniform
rate of assessment and taxation, and
shall prescribe such regulations as
shall secure a just valuation for tax
alton of all property, except that
specially provided for in this ar
ticle." The first mistaken policy of
taxation in Montana is to undertake
to raise the revenues for the support
of the state mainly by a general
property taX.-Mont. State Teach

Other Peoples Business and Ours
By GEORGE P. CHENEY
Publisher of The Record Chieftian, Enterprise, Oregon

AS prices of some commodities have declined of late, and some
other drops are expected, the impression has gone abroad that every
thing is coming down to the old level. This is far from the fact. The
future undoubtedly will e advances. IS well IS declines, Tor TINS
is a period of readjustment in which fair prices will be sought, rather
than of general reduction.
In the printing trade there are n o signs of any reduction, and
the old level will not be restored either in cites o small towns. The
production of nearly all kinds of paper is behind the demand now,
four pounds manufactured in the United States. No increase in the
supply from imports seems probable for several years. Latest price
lists quote the highest figures ever known, which generally ire 800
per cent of the pre-war prices.
The logic of the situation requires that prices in the country
towns be maintained permanently above the old time level for the
preservation of the business. Some twenty years ago the printing
trade in both cities and towns-excluding from consideration. the
metropolitan newspapers-was in most deplorable condition. Only
interest on their investment. 1t was nip and tuck with them to keep
alive.
In the country towns the situation was even worse. Do you re-
member the numerous Jokes about the country editor? How he had
to take wood, potatoes, butter, turnlps n any otner produce IN pay
ment of his bills? Those Jokes were realities for the men in the bust
and his compensation was the lowest and the most precarious
of any in the country. He occupied a small shack for shop and Of
flee, lived in a rented cottage, had to scrape and beg to get cash to
pay wholesale bills and when he died a lodge buried him.
At the same time the mercant sold his wares for cash, the bank
er collected his interest. the lawyer received his fees and all of them
lived in the big houses of the town. They had their vacations, went
to the mountains or the seashore, and their children finished high
and modern houses and bought the latest and most expensive ma
chinery. And not one of the men OF these classes put IN a many
hours a year of hard, exactng, nerve consuming work as did the
conscientious country editor doing a comparatively large business
in his line. W
Some twentv ears o the printer. in the large cities found a
way out of their distress through the establishment of cost systems
and the formation of associations which raised prices to the point
where the business could live and prosper. In the small towns prac-

have stayed In the business have put up prices and now believe they
r entitled to maintain them at a level where they will not fall into
the old poverty.
