GASOLINE PRICE

NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-The refined
oil markets arc continuing TO i'm
prove in this territory. Kerosene is
receiving the most attention at pres
emit. the unusually brisk demand being
attributed to the coal strike. which
caused a great many doInestio coal
consumers to purchase oil heaters for
home use. The feature of the kero.
sene market was the action OF the
Standard Oil Co. of New York in rails

city price IA cents and that in New
York state outside the city and
throughout New England. Is cent
The Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey
advanced the tankwngon price Of
kerosene on September % one cent
per gallon in New Jersey TO 13h
cents. or 2ts cents above h price
quoted a month ago. The New York
price has risen only one cent. SO
further advances are looked for.
Gasoline sales continue heavy in
the eastern territory. according to
all accounts. The weather a been
unusually favorable now for more
than two weeks. and has stimulated
consumption materially. Gasoline is
very plentiful, however. and keen
competition throughout the east has

raiding plan the most practicable
that has been conceived since the
warfare on Illicit booze began, fol-
lowing the enaction of the Vol

enable the officers of Craighead,
Greene and Lawrence to work in
unison and that more thorough
cleansing of the community of the
traffic may be looked for. He in
timated that some extensive raidings
were in prospect, and that in the
very near future.
The raiding organization is COM

Real liquor, the kind that warmed

the little that will be available, they
say, will be offered at prohibitive
prices.

Upon the suggestion of Attorney
Futrell committee consisting of
J. D. Block, Herschel Nicely, r. w.
Meriwether, Dolph Stedman, Robert
Fuhr and Fl. r. Partlow be appoint
ed as a committee to work out
plan or system of equitable assess
ment and to confer with the Tax
Commission. These gentlemen were
unanimously chosen by the mass
meeting and upon suggestion of Mr..
Partlow, the committee was called to
meet at the office of H. r. Partlow
at O'Clock this morning. Attor-
ney j. d. Block suggested that
vote of the audience be taken as to
whether or not those present would
stand by the actions of the commit
tee. A rising vote was taken and
the large assembly was Unanimous
in it's approval.
The committee met in the office
of H. r. Partlow this morning and
an agreement was worked out in
a short while which possibly means
the hearty support of the public
schools. 1t was agreed that an alb
stract of the assessment be pre-
pared within the next few days and
that the same be placed in the
hands OF representative commit
tee who would visit each piece of
n 10 iCtr int nj
a market valuation on the same;
that committee composed of attor-
neys j. ID. Block and Robert e.
Fuhr make trip to Little Rock for
sion; and that upon their return
from Little Rock another meeting
of the committee would be called,
possibly Tuesday evening, for work
understood that the assessment is
to be equitable; that is to say, such
property as is assessed at fair
valuation will not be molested,
value will be raised. In other words
all property in the district will be
valued at u cash marketable value,
and if it takes 40 per cent of this
to raise sufficient revenues for the
schools the Tax Commission will be
asked to make the levy in accord
ance to the same.
Also, this committee conferred
wit nh hi
they each offered to make loan
of $4,000 per month until March
of 1928 at an interest rate of g.
per cent, providing, however, that
this plan as outlined by the COM
mitteo can be worked out. That
assures that the public schools will
continue without any further tut
ton as has been paid at the high
school. The action of the mass
meeting and that Of the committee
called to ones mind that spirit of
the World war, the enthusiasm of
the Liberty Loan drives and Red
Cross drives.
1t shows that people of Paragould
can meet and will meet any crisis
which may arise. 1t further shows
that the appreciation of the pub
lie schools is not a passing Incl
dent. We take off our hats to the
people of Paragould. To the pros
pective purchaser of property you
may purchase property in Paragould
and you may be assured that we will
have schools.

was opposed to a blanket assessment
and that every taxpayer was; that
| it would be unfair to make a hori-
zontal assessment in Wow Of the fact
that some property was already on
the tax books at so per cent or more
of its marketable valuation, while
other property was ON Tile tax books
at 5 per cent or less. He strongly
advocated that an equitable assess
iment be made and that the Tax
Commission approve such assessment
and in that way it would be legal
He pointed out that of the assess
ments heretofore made there were a
number who had not kept the agree
ment. The speaker further pointed
out that it was and is the duty of
those who talk of extravaganza of
expenditures to point out where it
had been done and not deal in gem
eralities.
Hon. j. ID. Block pointed out in
his talk that it would be mon
strous proposition to close the pub
lie schools and that he was willing
to put his property on the tax books
at 100 per cent for school purposes,
but said that an agreement could
be entered into with the property
owners for that purpose. In that
event il man did not pay it he
would have the moral stigma of not
meeting his duty.
1t was then pointed out by Attor-
ney Fuhr, that Paragould had had
two or three agreements of that
kind and that only about rs per cent
of those agreeing to do so had
ACTUALLY kept their word, and among
those who had failed in tnis matter
were some of the large taxpayers of
the district. Further, that no agree
ment would be worth anything that
did not have the sanction of law.
An agreement was then made that
an assessment be made against prop
erty according to the market value
of that property and that the Arkan-
sas Tax Commission be asked to ap-
prove the same. That it would
be true that the taxpayers of the
city would pay more county taxes
than their respective shares, but in
that event the collector could be
credited with that extra assessment,
thereby making the taxpayers of
ParaSould bear only the burdens
incident to the city and the schools.
Attorney Jeff Bratton was present
and spoke to the meeting as former
president of the School Board. He
pointed out that the Indebtedness
had been largely incurred by rea-
son of the advanced cost of living
during the war period; that ad-
vanced prices and advanced salaries
had depleted the ranks of the teach
ers and that at one time it was
necessary to send kilograms in Dun
dies for teachers and the board had
to pay the prices asked; that the
property remained on the tax books
at the same values. Mr.. Bratton
further pointed out that two tenn
porary buildings were erected dur
ing that time when prices of all
commodities were at the peak; that
the question Of expenditures could
be met and invited every citizen to
make an investigation. Mr.. Bratton
said the School Board courted in
