'HERRIN TO SEE
JUSTICE DONE


Most OF the reports from Herrin.
in Williamson county, where muir
ders occurred in the striking dis
tricts, leave the impression that all
the residents Of Herrin were dis
orderly" Rev. John McGown Stew
enson said last night at the Broad
way Presbyterian church. THAT is
the wrong impression OF the people
in the business and farming dis
tricts," he added. Nobody feels
more hurt over what has occurred
in the Herrin mining districts than
the good people of Herrin them
selves. 1t Is only fair that they be
heard from fef the majority is do
ing all in its power to bring the
guilty to task"
Mr. Stevenson gave an account cf
his holiday experiences, telling of
many incidents of interest that hap
pened while on his trip. -

SCBC OLISALFS TAX
 SHOWS NICE GAIN
INCREASE FOR JANUARY
Is Made in Merchants Collections fol Maintenance of the Conway
 Public Schools.

Although the volume of business was smaller, and the elapsed time be- l tween collections was shorter, small i increase was recorded in the sales and luxury taxes for the support of the Conway public schools for the month of January as compared with December. The totals, according to the tabulation made today, are $686. 50 for January and S633 59 for Decem Der.
 While the continuance of the schools for the remainder of the pres ent session is assured by the voun- tary subscription of over $3,10O per month, 1t is the intention to continue the sales and luxury tax plan and al low the funds collected through it to be applied to the heavy debt of the district, thus effecting considerable saving in interest besides reducing the iebt.
 The recent crisis of the schools. which threatened it with closing. has brought to the realization of the eft lzens the seriousness of the situation. and besides responding with remark able generosity and promptness in the special subscriptions, the major lty have expressed a willingness to give further support to the school through the sales and luxury taxes, and merchants almost without excep- ton report that this special tax is be- ing paid more readily and willingly than ever before.
 The collections for the month of January, with those of the preceding month for comparison, are published below

Even those farmers who raise sugar beets might properly ask in what way their interests are being protected by an increase in the duty on Cuban sugar. IL is currently rumored that the contract price paid the farmer for sugar hcetS during the coming season will be from S5.0O to S5.5O a ton. The average pre-war price with the tariff at 1c was $5.57, approximately the price that will be paid farmers during the coming season with the tariff increased COG.
 Very few farmers grow wool, but all farmers wear clothes, American grown wool. the product of the American farm, is one of the chief rallying cries of the high tariff exponent.
 Falacy Of Wool Protection"
 Farmers are clad In mid-winter mostly in cotton and shoddy. and yet he woolen manufacturer today Is given 45 cents q pound protection on the entire weight of the farmers clothing on the basis that it is all wool He passes this additional cost on to the farmer, but gives the wool grower about one-third of this 45 cents in in- creased price of W ool

SUGAR TARIFF NO
 AID TO FARMERS

 Factories, Not Beet Growers.
WOOL BENEFITS QUESTIONED
Fair Tariff League Head Says Beets Are Not important American
 Crop.
By N. E. MILES,
DJ ", e., WI LGOI 1airman of the Fair Tariff Leaque.

Chdirman of the F ar arm League.
 Sugar in the beet, the product of the farm, is given a protection of go ad Valorem in the FOrdney Tariff Bill now before Congress.
 Refined sugar, the product of the beet sugar factory, is protected with specific rate equivalent to from SOC to 100co ad valorem on the basis of present prices
 For example. the Michigan sugar factory receives a prohibitive protec. tion against the importation of the product of the Canadian sugar factory, but the Mieh4an sugar beet farmer receives practically no protection against the Canadian sugar beet.
 In view of this farmers are asking if the CO., increase in the tariff on Cuban raw sugar contained in the Fordney rarif Bill is an effort to pro feet the farmer or an effort to pay further bonus to an already sufficient ly protected beet sugar industry.
 All farmers use sugar. They usually buy it in lo0 pound sacks. Every time a farmer buys a sack of sugar he pays S2-oo aS the result of the tariff on sugar Half of this goes to the Gov ernment and half of it to the beet sugar manufacturer.
 This is true because we consume Tn this country twice as much sugar as we make, but the price of sugar to the farmer is the Cuban price plus the tariff. But the farmer pays this price on both the domestic sugar and the foreign sugar Therefore the farmer pays half of thls tax to the Govern ment and half to the manufacturer of beet sugar in this country.
 Sugar Beets a Minor Product
 The farmer might feel that he was getting some benefit out of this if the raising of sugar beets was actually an important American agricultural pur- suit. This, however, is not the case.
 The crop acreage of sugar beets for 1920 was 692 ,455 The crop acreage for peanuts was 1.256000, almost dou- ble the acreage devoted to the cultiva- tiOn~ of sugar beets.
 The following table indicates the importance of the acreage devoted to sugar beets as compared with certain other crOpS.

BULLDOGS AT TOP OF COLLEGE RACE AGAIN TROUNCF OUACHITA Take Odd Game from Tigers and Go Two Games in Lead-LOcal
 Trio Stars.

The Hendrix College Bulldogs are
 still the Bulldogs of collegiate bas-
 ket ball in Arkansas.
 Their successful comeback against Ouachta Wednesday night and again last night placed the local team out two full games in the lead, and inci- dentally gave them three out of four from Ouachita, fact which all by it. self is of some importance. Tender son-Brown by winning two at Arka- delphia has an even break on the four game series with Hendrix. Hendrix s last five games have been played with Thompson out of the line up, which possibly slowed down the smooth working of the Bulldog machine, al though Boyd has stepped into the breach with gratifying results.
 In last nights game the Tigers opened with their customary rush and held the lead until the Bulldogs To- cated the basket and punctured the air with goals from scrimmage. Jen- nings showed in substitutes for a part of the last half and a good margin of points was run over the Bulldogs, q condition which did not last long after the Tiger regulars resumed their places and the Hendrix tossing was renewed. Hawley, Boone and Will Hams led the assault of the locals.
 Basket ball will again take the cen ter of the stage in Conway on next Friday when the tournament of the Arkansas Intercollegiate Athletic Conference is played on the Hendrix court with five teams entered. Local interest centers in the efforts of State Normal to cop the flag.
 Sport fans who like plenty of action probably will see it next Monday and Tuesday nights when the Little Rock College team comes here for two games with State Normal. The cap ital city team pushed over the Bears for two victories last week, one clash being decided by single point, and the Estes team has an undeniable thirst for revenge.
 Turbeville and Chambers were in the limelight for Ouachita last night. Galloway, their smoothest performer, located the cage only once

TO OUR CRITICS AT ARKADELPHIA.
!. ....-...-.....-..-.....-...................~.:.

It is an age old truism that nothing worth while is accomplished through controversy and to no other case is it more applicable than to attempt to iron out the furrows across the trail of athletic relations between Hendrix and Ouaehita. The Philadelphia Sift- ings- in it's issue of February 13 discards or disregards the truth of this statement and indulges in some aspersive remarks about Hendrix, Conway, the Hendrix Bull Dog and the Log Cabin Democrat, all appar- ently for the purpose of glorifying the Ouachita basketball team for it's recent exploits here.
 For the Log Cabin Democrats share, the Philadelphia daily says the games were reported ''in style that has got to be chronic with Conway journalists'-that is, heartless con- demnation of every move of the Ouachita team" One might be par doned for glancing further through the Siftings-Herald and picking out SAAo aPll HUH IlS Sloll dIl- nouncing the Hendrix series there this week: Mitchell will referee the matches, which PRECLUDES fair deal, close calling of fouls and snappy officiating"
 There were just two points in Ouachita's playing which are worth mentioning, and in regard to them only the facts will be set forth. In the games of February ', 8 and 9, Referee Mitchell called exactly 2S per sonal fouls against the Ouachita team. The New York Times of February 12 reports about six games played by the larger universities of the east. Only one mention is made of personal fouls, the offender being the Catholic Uni versity captain who was ejected for four personal fouls against Naval Academy. Coaches ordinarily do not risk the loss of valuable players by allowing them to follow tactics which result in personal or other fouls.
 Then the Siftings- Herald goes at length into defense of Turbeville, who led in this infraction of the rules. This player drew the censure, ex- pressed in most instances and re- pressed in a few others, from both the Hendrix and State Normal stands. in contrast with him, Galloway, who did much more to win Ouachita's two victories here, got applause and the respect which Conway crowds uni formly accord visiting athlete who measures up to sportsmanlike stand ards.
 Crowds on any field are quick to recognize the real possessor of ath- letic ability and condemn another who presumes to substitute something else tor genuine ability and get by with it. Confining the examples to Arkansas, no one ever heard of Stanley Phillips, Russell May or Dan Estes, former Razorbacks, being hooted by factional crowds anywhere. Rivalry in other ears was intense between Hendrix and Henderson, but Haygood's stars ike "Speedy" Croswell and Roy Dug gan never incurred the violent dis ike of Conway crowd.
 Having these facts in mind, the
