OF 20 FER CENT

Landlords who take advantage Of
the increase in the tax rate to gouge

from City Council II the facts are
made known to that body The state
ment was made in Council last night
that the members OF that body would
be pleased to hear Of any such cases
and will see TO II that the prohteering
landlords are given all the publicity
possible.
The subject was brought to the
attention of Council by Mr. McManus,
chairman OF the finance committee,
who said that a charge had been
made before Council, sitting in COM
mittee Of the whole, Wednesday
night. that the owners Of two West
Fourth street properties had in
creased the rental S5 a month each,
and told the tenants that he was
compelled to take the action owing
to the increased tax rate. The prop
critics have formerly been renting for
! S25 a month.
Mr.. McManus said he had learned
from tho Assessment Board that
the properties were assessed at
$1,000 by the city and a Ike amount
by the county; that the owners
taxes for 1920 were $39.45 on each.
and in 1921 only $46.56 on each. an

mo doubt" Mr.. McManus said,
"there are lots Of citizens who take
no interest whatever in affairs Of the
city. who are not familiar with the
amount Of taxes assessed against
the houses they occupy. When own
ers are getting a clear profit Of s52.S9
on an increase of $7.11 in taxes, it
shows people that their landlords
are not dealing fairly with them. In
trying to pass the responsibility TO
city officials these landlords are Moth
ing short Of shylocks," he concluded.
Evening journal., 1921-11-18

The fundamental value of the
school savings bank lies in the
fact that it offers opportunity for
arousing the interest of the child
in thrift instruction. II is the
first step.
Parents and those in positions
Of authority in our schools and
various educational institutions
can contribute substantially to
the future glory of America by
giving every encouragement to
the school savings bank.
II is one of our most valued

Our River in Arkansas
 and Elsewhere

In his Emporia Gazette William Allen White delivers himself of these characteristic words con. corning the character in Kansas of the river that is so important a physical feature of the state of Arkansas:
 The Arkansas would make good highway if it wasn't too crooked to hold any vehicle big ger than a wheel barrow, too dry to drag the ruts off in summer. and in the flood stage too moist for hard surfacing. Otherwise it's good creek.
 Information for which we are indebted to Maj. J. N. Hodges. Corps of Engineers. United States Army, shows the size of the Arksnsas river in these parts as well as it's importance as traffic carrier before steamboats were displaced by railroads.
 The..S. T. Albert report of 1869 on the survey of the Arkansas from Fort Gibson, in the present state of Oklahoma, to Little Rock. the earliest one in the possession of the government, said that dur ing the winter months and the period of the June rise steamboats carrying 700 tons could reach Fort Smith. Boats drawing from five to six feet of water were generally employed between Lit tie Rock and Memphis. Between Little Rock and Fort Smith boats of three and one-half feet draft were more suitable and between Fora Smith and Fort Gibson small steamers drawing. when not loae ed. one foot of water were usually employed.
 Between Fort Gibson and Fort g. low water width in the Arkansas ranges from 15O to 75O feet; between Fort Smith and Little Rock low water width ranges from 300 to 900 feet.
 According to river traditions, in 1888 or 1S40, large steamers made nine successive trips to Fort Gibson and in 1841. the Ark ansas, a side e-wheeler, drawing not less than six feet, made six successive trips to Fort Gibson. In 1853 2S, GOO tons of freight and 2.3S0 passengers were brought to Little Rock by steam boats and 17,000 bales of cotton were shipped from above Little Rock. During the period 1864 1871 Arkansas river boats Oper- ated as a general thing about six months in the year. The St. Louis and Cincinnati steamers usually made six round trips. The big New Orleans steamers made one to four trips to meet the demand for the transporta- tion of cotton.
 Keel boats were used when the water was too low for steamb0ats to run Under favorable c0ndi- tions a keel boat made a round trip between Little Rock and Fort Smith in 20 days and between Fort Smith and Fort Gibson in 9 days.
 Steamboats of POO to 400 tons ran regularly in the Little Rock Memphis trade until the railroad now known as the Valley route was completed in 1880.
 In 1873 the steamboat Export CT left Fort Smith with 600 bales of cotton. passed Little Rock April II with 4,803 bales and left the river with ,, 313 bales aboard. That was the biggest cargo ever carried out of the Arkansas.
 It is true that as to volume of flow and channel depths the Ark ansas river does not rank high. Jtc v,,ir,np, loyr .uato~ vOluyv,o at

MRS. HARDING REFUSES
TO REVEAL PURCHASES

NEW YORK. Feb. 4z-Strong pres
SIRE was being brought to bear on
Mrs. Warren G. Harding today to
have prepared before leaving New
York a list of her Purchases. The
argument is that some twenty-five
million women want to know what
is going TO be the accepted style at
the White House so they can make
their own spring purchases. Mrs.
Harding has not yet consented.
About all known thus far is that
dignity will characterize her Co.'S
tunes. None OF her gowns will be
higher than ankle skirt and there
will be no extreme low cuts. All her
evening dresses viii have half
sleeves of lace. chiffon or net. She
has ordered five alreaSS. the most
stunning a sea green silk. There are
to be black dresses for evening wear
and goodly supply of smartly cut
tailor-mades with three-piece effect.
She also is to have many serviceable
dresses in blues. lavenders. greens
and violets in wash materials. main-
ly for her trip South.
After yesterday with costumers
and designers Mrs. Harding left the
Ritz-Carlton shortly after dinner
and called on her aunt. Mrs. A. L.
Northrup, at the Hotel Seymour. She
decided she was too tired to go to
the theater. The party will return
to Washington Sunday.
