LARGE PLANTERS
 SHIRkING DUTY

If the cotton acreage is not reduced fifty per cent in accordance with the plans of the Memphis cotton acreage reduction movement and that of the American Cotton Association, it will lie at the doors of the big cotton plant CTS and the extensive land lords. The small land owner is forced to reduce his acreage, not only to keep out of the hands of the sheriff, but because he re alizes his only hope now is in increas- ing his food and feed crops. The ten ants and sharecropprs will undoubted ly do just what their landlords tell them to do. The large planters and landlords who want to plant heavily in cotton, even if by so doing the price goes down to three cents per pound, can only be made to see the error of their ways by the bankers or supply mer- chants with whom they deal. The biggest trouble in the cotton acreage

rduction movement will be in the larg- est cotton producing counties of the belt, where diversified agriculture has long been a myth or matter of history and where the large planter holds do minion over his hundreds of thousands of acres of cotton lands.
 We have sufficient information in hand to make this statement and to urge that all possible pressure be brought to bear in those counties from every source to bring such misguided planters and landlords into line before 1t is too late. II is reported that many large planters have determined to plant no cotton on their lands this year, and this is most commendable decision, but these are largely in the minority. The landlord of many acres should make contracts to take his rentals in cash or staple crops other than cotton this year. The large planter should cut the acreage of his share-croppers to the bone of cotton and teach them to rais food and feed crops which have teen heretofore bought from the supply merchants This Is not the only year for restricted cotton acreage. The pur- chasing power of the world is now so restricted that it will take several years for the spindle capacity of the various countries using American cotton to get back on normal basis. Many looms are lying idle and rusting out, while the labor is scattered and isorganized. Millions of other spindles are operating on short or half time in England, Con tinental Europe and the United States. One serious condition resulting in q shortage of consumption which is now fixed by law, and that is the reduction of working hours in mills from 55 1-2 hours a week to IS hours, which means loss of consumption of one million bales of cotton out of every eight mil lion before these laws became effective.

TRACTOR FUEL
 NOT HIT BY TAX
ATTORNEY GENERAL ALSO EX- GUIDES GAS USED IN BOAT
 ENGINES.

In an opinion rendered yesterday At torney General Utley said that the one cent gasoline tax authorized by act or the last legislature will not apply to gasoline or kerosenes purchased for fuel for farm tractors, while being used on farms. The act assesses a tax or one cent gallon on all gasoline and kerosene to be used in cars or trucks operating on the public highways, the talk to be collected by the seller at the time of the purchase and to be paid monthly into the county treasury. Pro vision is made also for a quarterly set tlement with the Highway Department under which the department will re- ceive half of the tax.
 The attorney general said yesterday that the intent of the law clearly IS to levy a tax for the use of the highways, and that tractors while in use on the farm could not come under this proV:s- ion. Tractors opera ting for demonstra- tion purposes, however. would be re auired to pay the tax as they would use the highways in travelling from farm to farm A farmer buying il tractor at the agents office would te required to pay the tax on gas used in getting his tractor to the farm. but thereafter. in the opinion of the attor- ney general, he could purchase fuel tax free for use in the tractor on the farm
 The fuel tax also will not apply to use for motor beats, the attorney gen eral has held in letter wri't"n in re. sponse to an inquiry. While rivers and waterways have been held by the Supreme Court L. be highways in cer= tam senses, Mr. Ttley holds that the rule would not apply in the preseny act as the tax on gasoline and kerosene is 10 be for the building and maintenance of roads and that the intent of the act is to place the tax, even though indi= rectly, on those agencies which use the roads.-Gazette.

MIR. PARKS AT CAPITOL

Washington. n. C., April S.-Repre sentative Tilman E. Parks of Hope, Ark. who was elected 10 succeed Rep resentative Goodwin arrived in Wash ington today to begin his term in the Sixty seventh Congress, which conyenes Monday. Mr Parks was assigned room 23S on the main floor of the House of flee building.
 He had not yet asked for any partic- ular committee assignment, but today expressed preference for the Commit teen on Mines and Mining, to which in all probability will be referred all leg islation affecting the petroleum indus try. Since practically all the oil fields in Arkansas are located in his district Mir. Parks iS interested in securing membership on committee that would handle legislation affecting that indus try.
 It is not likely. however. that he will get the assignment, since another Ark ansas member, Otis Wingo, is ranking minority member of that committee and with the democratic membership cut to six it is hardly possible that two men from the same state and same par ty would be put on one committee Gazette.

RECOMMENDS
 RELIEF WORK
EXPRESSES HOPE THAT INVISI- BILE GUEST DINNER WILL BE
 GREAT SUCCESS.

Governor McRae yesterday commend ed the work that is being done by the Arkansas branch of the European Re lief Council, and expressed the hope that the state will report its full quota to the national fund.
 Campaign officials yesterday an- nounced that Mrs H. H. Foster has been given charge of the musical pro- gram at the Invisible Guest Dinner" to be held by the council at the Hotel Marion April $. and Mrs Charles Frauenthal has charge of ticket ar engagements.
 In commenting on the work in Ark ansas the governor said:
 'As citizen and as an official l am very glad to see the work that is being done in Little Rock and in Arkansas to raise funds for European child re lief. The people of our own state and of the South have always responded when suffering humanity called and they will not fail this time. when more than 3.0OO.OO0 little children are suf- fering and starving in Europe It is true that money is not quite so plentl- ful with us as it was year ago. but it is also happily true that we have had no starvation an dour country has not been overran for years by contend ing armies. We should be thankful that we live in America and in Arkan- sas. and certainly we should give lib erally when upon our liberality de bends the lives of innocent little chil- dren.
 As national chairman of relief worE in Europe, Mr Herbert Hoover render ed the world Il distinct service during the war, and his energy i'll the recent campaign has meant much toward itS success. It is my understanding that the European relief campaign for pub lie subscription was formally closed over the country on March 31, and the S33 GOO OO0 was declared to be raised, However, this completed fund depends upon a number of states raising thelr entire quota. Arkansas must raise more than s25.00O before her part of the fund is completed. Good and faith ful work has been done over Arkansas under the leadership of the Hon. Hamp Williams of Hot Springs, but am m formed by the local committee that Lht tie Rock and Pulaski county have rais- ed less than half of their quota. Ger tainly. our capital city does not care to have it said that her citizens have fail ed to do their duty in the saving of human lives-of little tots who have mo- where else to look but to big hearted America for their daily bread.
 "It is a pleasure to be allowed to con tribute to this worthy work, and l hope to see this Invisible Guest Dinner an unqualified success It is hard to i'm agine where S10 of our money might do more effective and profitable work when we can invest this sum and save the life of a child until next harvest and at the same time help to raise fund to purchase Arkansas rice for those little sufferers. We are doing humanity a real service, and we are making our dollars do double duty. - Gazette.
