INCREASE IN ASSESSMENT
 FOR THE PAST AZ YEARS

An interesting statement has been prepared by the Arkansas Tax Com mission showing the increase in the taxable values of the state for the last 47 years. From this it appears that in 1874 the total assessment of all property in Arkansas was only s91 ,646,026. Whereas, for the year 1920 the total was $612, 2,426,OS4.
 The assessment increased from the year 1874 to the year 1909 when the tax commission was created, was $2S3, ,749.
 The assessment increase from the year 1909 to the year 1920 during which time the assessment was under the supervision of the Tax Commits sion, was $237,4SO,3O9.
 From 1909 to 1916 the assessment increased S75,145,459 and for the ensuing four years it amounted to $162, ,334,85O.
 The assessment for the last four years is by far the largest in the history of the state for a similar period. The largest increase for a single year on record being $74,2S7, 726, in 1917.
 There have been nine years during this time in which the assessments have shown decrease, in 1875, 1877, 1879, 1882, 1892, 1893, 1908 and 1915.

WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITIES

There has never been a time when the advantages of education and training for business were more clearly demonstrated than now. Sorr 1 firms are reducing their payroll, either in salary or in number of em- ployes, to keep pace with the return to normal prices and the general re trenchment in the business world fol lowing the period of war-inhatior Naturally, the first class of employees to be cut are the untrained worker The high-salaried executives tHr trained men and women who hold the responsible positions, are the last to have their salaries reduced or to be l let off the payroll
 Ambitious young people want to be in the latter class, the employee who are most valuable to firm, who draw the best salaries and are the last to be released in stringent times You want to be a TRAINED WORK FER. Will you devote years of hard labor at low pay to gaining you training through experience, or vii you invest a few months time in ac- quiring the most thorough, practical and complete training that can be had in Bookkeeping, Stenography. Telegraphy, Cotton Chasing, Busi- ness Administration and Finance, in the largest business training institu- ton in America, the Tyler Commer- cial College?

mers to lay in stocks, the difficulty
middle men find in financing a filling
of their yards, and to lack of trans
portation from the mines. The coal
consuming public is besought to come
into the market and buy at what are
called the present reasonable" pricess
The rub seems to lie in difference
of opinion as to what constitutes
"reasonableness" in coal prices. We
hear of $12 ton being paid for an
thracite, whose price tends to f1uc-
tuate with the price for bituminous.
The heart of the householder does not
leap when informed of this figure and
he does not buy. He has a feeling
that coal prices are not sufficiently
iquidated-that he will be able to do
better later.
If there is earnest desire to quick
en- the domestic buyer out of his
lethargy and thus to break the COM
plained-of deadlock, with the mines
idle and coal holes empty, why not
advise the coal trade to exert itself
to make coal cost less? With the
present number of idle cars, doubt
less the railroads would find ways to
move the freight.
