M r, the Arkansas 6AASf'o'
 ;ttle Rock, April 10.-In letters
 out last week to the collectors
 county clerks of the state, Gov
 or McRae called attention to the
 t that while today is the last day | the payment of taxes without de-
 orent penalties, the 10 per cent
 rsltv by virtue of his proclamation
 .ad some time ago, has been with
 ,u' in explaining his proclamation, the &vernor said:
 .'There is no extension of the time ~ the payment of taxes, no exten- X of the time for making out your 2H ,-,;nonent lists, no extension of the .r,a for the sale of delinquent lands '+J lots All that 1 am endeavoring 4 do is to relieve the people of the
 nolties. provided they do not pay Es taxes and cost on or before the IN of sale. .;sh to do so, can begin making their 'Elinouent lists, but they cannot add '< collect the 10 per cent penalty. &ben the delinquent list is turned
 or to the clerk he will of course '3d the penalty of 25 per cent and the %st provided by law, and it is ad- &rtised as the law requires; but if <e tax debtor offers, to pay his taxes fd the cost on or before the day of 8le the collector should accept it Ssthout the penalty. If it is not paid N or before the day of sale, the land S sold on the day fixed by law for ke nayment of taxes, cost and penal | iust as if the proclamation had 'bt been issued.
 FsI trust that every tax collector tll enter into the spirit of this plan X thus relieve the people of penal ies."
 FC. p. Newton, private secretary to ke governor, yesterday said that the Reclamation had been issued solely sr the purpose of relieving the over nrdened taxpayers.
 t"It is. of course, conceivable that a pllector would ignore the whole pro- pedings." MT. Newton said, land bllect the penalties that attach after lpril 10, but I don't think this prob hle. I am convinced that the gov rnor has the power to forgive the Rnalties individually--not collective \. of course, and think also that the byernor has the power to pardon any heriff or collector for malfeasance emitting to collect these penalties

Forest And Park Service Officers
 Clash At Meeting

DIES MONIES. Ia. Jan. 10.-This afternoons session of the national park conference being held here. was marked by a controversy between the national park service and the forest service. which opened when Arthur H. Carhart. of the Denver office of the forest service. declared national parks were uuimportant in compari- son with the vast areas of the nation al forests. which were being devel- oped primarily for the poor people. in contrast. he said. with the elaborate provisions made for the wealthy by the national park service
 Stephen T. Mather. director of the national park service, declared in re spouse to Carhart. that the national parks are the original recreational areas of the nation. set aside specifi- cally by congress for that purpose.
 "The national forests were created for commercial purposes and the rec reational activities of the forest ser vice have been a by-product, under taken with funds appropriated by congress for other work The forest service is duplicating and copying what the national park service has done And entirely contrary to the assertion just made. the expenditures of the national park service in devel- oping the parks are devoted largely to providing for the comfort and pleasure of the average man. The forest service is doing wen for the local populations in it's areas. while the national park service is taking care of visitors from every state"
