ASSESSMENT RAISE
 IN JOHNSON PROTESTED

Little Rock, Feb. 9.-A delegation of Johnson county citizens waited upon the governor and the state tax commission yesterday in an effort to adjust differences which have arisen with reference to the tax assessment of the county. When the assessor made his report, it appeared that the total assessment for the county was about $2,000,000 short of the preced- ing year, or about 4U per cent re- duction, The tax commission proceed ed to make an effort to equalize the assessment and operating through the individual school districts, added about $1,600,000 to the total assess ment. It appears that there are two factions in the county and 1t is the task of the tax commission and the governor to adjust the differences
 between the mand agree upon basis of assessment that will be satisfactory to the greater number of tax payers.

 am willing to pay subscription. make donation or to Go anything req sonable rather than zee the threaten ed calamity befall us. Let's get to- gether and work this thing out and torestall the catastrophe that threat ems our homes and helpless children. Continue to pay the taxes wherever we trade and trade only with the merchant who cheerfully collects the taxes. And, if we know of anyone who refuses to pay the tax let's turn him over to the Ku klux Klan. In any event, before we lay the whole blame at the feet of any person or persons and so unjustly malign or 1 accuse them of setting themselves against having a school, let's inspect 1 the affairs from every angle. Let's not be too harsh in our judgment un- ! til we locate the guilty party.
 If the crash is the result of blind and slip-shod administration who have made an unbrided waste or expendi- ture of sacred funds, and who have not needed the warning of the crimp ln the economic conditions, let's have the backbone to face them in it and not shift the blame on others who are i not in position to be guilty. It is al- most criminal to be eXtravagant with l public funds, funds that represent the welfare of helpless children. If the crash is the result of wilful refusal of the people to pay the taxes or of ] merchants to collect them let's get at the bottom of 1t and lay the blame i where 1t belongs and condemn the 1 guilty. Call an indignation meeting 1 or what not, but lets not lie dowl and quit. Let's rally and meet the i demands of the hour. I look upor this as the supreme test of the people of Conway. Let's raise subscription and do it at once. I will pay ms part and more if necessary. Charg ing and fussing will get us nowhere Probably we are all more or less tC blame, but let's iron it out and hay, it over.
 In case we can not work out feas ible plan and continue the school, announce my home for sale at half 1t. value and l will go where I can ga a school for my children. I hay. faith in the people of Conway and an ready to fall in at the call.
 Yours truly,

APPEALS TO SOUTH 10 SLASH ACREAGE SAY BIG CROP PLANNED Acreage Committee Finds Drift Strongly to Bumper Crop, to
 Force Price Down.

! Grim warning to the south againet the folly of planting a large acreage in cotton, toward which the entire section seems bent, is being scattered broadcast by the cotton acreage con- mittee at Memphis. Its conclusions are based on observations throughout the cotton territory by Thomas B. : King, it's director, and have been withheld from publication for the reason that the certainty of a bump- CT 1922 crop would force down cotton prices now. The warning is being sent all banks and merchants in the south. The Log Cabin Democrat pub lished a part of it ill the hope that it may check the movement toward a big acreage in this county. The warning is as follows:
 "The writer has just returned from visit, to each state in which cotton is grown, for the purpose of conferr- ing with all classes, if possible and securing a consensus of opinion as to the probable cotton acreage that will be planted in 1922.
 1t has been the policy of the cot ton acreage committee to deal candid ly with the people of the south in whatever statement it has made touching the strength or weakness of the cotton situation, whether re vealed in statistics, in the world $ demand, economic conditions or the outlook as to the acreage to be plant ed compared with other years.
 Last year, as you know, psycho- logical conditions and relative val ues of farm products favored reduc- ing cotton acreage and increasing corn and other food and feed stuffs. Now it is quite different, and as 65 per cent of the cotton in the southern states is grown by the small farmer, you can readily see how he is making his calculations just now to increase his own cotton acreage and auto matically decrease that of corn. The large planter, as he is called, Is so organized that it is hard for him to NV OIi'Si kiaetii PIetilC liit iiIdlOI par of the crop in cotton, so you can see that the prospect unquestionably is for an increase in the acreage to be planted in cotton this year
 Il could go into details and give you the conditions and outlook state by state, and even sections and coun- ties in each state, but l am neces- sarily forced to be brief and perhaps apparently dogmatic. Nevertheless, we are prepared to support this opin- ion we are giving by facts we have gleaned during our visit.
 Now, there seems to us to be but one way to check this undercurrent towards an increase in acreage in cotton, and that is through the bank CT and credit merchant in the re- quirements of the farmer when he
 asks for financial aid to make the crop. If we do not succeed in bring ing about the check by this method
 we know of no other way, and we in evitably face a lower price in cotton next fall and an increase in the value
 of corn and other food and feed pro
 ducts which the cotton grower will have to buy"

Editor Log Cabin Democrat.

Editor Log Cabin Democrat.
 Since I had the good luck of hav- ing my name in the paper as being the only one at the Commercial Club voting against the penny tax, l thought it would not be out of place to have it appear again.
 was not the only one there who was or is against it, but was the only one who said so publicly. l was at the school auditorium when the plan was adopted and l voted for it, about 30 of us in all, but I saw there that the people as a whole took no hand in the move. Since that l see that where the people can keep from pay ing same without criticism they do so. 1 have always paid the penny and am willing to do so, but l don't be- lieve in forcing the man who is not able to pay to do so. You will say, Where or who is he?" l will say if you will go with me in my car will take you and show you children coming four and a half miles to school who have not had a sock on their feet this winter
 When this father came to town to buy medicine for his children he was forced to pay school tax. Then we boast of free school. Again l will say 1 am not in favor of forcing a man to pay who is not able to do so.
 Enough of that. We are supposed to be free people in free and pa triotic country. Everybody knows that it takes money to run a school and money is not free. So we ought to see by now that it must be run on business basis instead of on the popular plan. So let's get down tC business now and not pass the buck to our children.
 will support the Denney plan ane take 10 bonds and give them to hell paper the auditorium and help do the papering.
 Some guy suggested tuition plar for school in yesterdays daily who spoke my sentiment, but he knew that it was not popular at this time but he thinks it is the surest, best and fairest way to continue the school. 1 will endorse his plan anc help. If he will have nerve enough to sign his name to his article l vii not criticise him, but will look upor him as a business man.
 Now l hope at this meeting tonight we will get down to business in 8 business way, for we must come tc realize that our free school is busted but is like the farmer it cannot stor or what he had will go to the dogs Let us have tuition school. We had tuition supper the other night at he club rooms and l think it was yery fair, yet l understand some anne free, that also was fair.
 I think the school can and woulC do well under this plan.
 We are now paying $5,700.00 in terest annually; let us stop it.
