False Doctrine

If employers teach their em- ployes, by example, that an important factor in their bus mess should be conducted on the nutualistic or communis- tic plan, they are not in a good position to object if the employees attempt to give a broader scope to the false doctrine thus inculcated.

PRIVILEGE TAX NOT TO BE
 BE AVOIDED TNlS YEAR
Believed Financial Disaster Is Fac- ing Arkansas Cities Unless Leg
 islature or Courts Act.

Ft Smith, April 30-Financial dis aster threatens every city of the first and second classes in Arkansas as a result of the Riggs state income tax bill, passed by the recent legislature, in the opinion of city officials of this and other cities of the state.
 Privilege taxes, amounting in Fort Smith to $3O,000 to $4O,OOO a year, will be cut eff after this year, unless relief is given by a special session of the legislature, Or by court decis- ion knocking out the Riggs income tax law.
 Exempts Income Tax Payers.
 Study of the Riggs bill and the state law authorizing the privilege tax revealed Monday that cities cannot collect privilege taxes from any per son, firm or corporation who pays q state gross income tax The Riggs Dill levles tax Of one-tenth of one per cent of the gross income of every person who has gross income over $1, 900 a, year.
 Legislative relief for the cities of the state will be tried first in an effort to find way out of the diff ficulty. Mayor Brickhouse of Little Rock Saturday asked Governor T. c. McRae to include in a call for a>spe- cial session request for legislation restoring to cities the right to collect privilege or occupation taxes. The governor indicated he would ask for such legislation if a special session is called, which is still uncertain.
 Avert Insurance Fight.
 The Riggs bill does not mention city occupation taxes. But the terms Of the privilege tax bill, passed Feb ruary 19, 1919, are such that the cities cannot collect privilege or occupation taxes from any one who pays a state income tax. The privilege tax bill authorizes cities to levy such taxes by tWo-thirds vote of the council on all persons, firms, individuals or corporations except such persons, firms or corporations who pay tax to the state on gross incomes" The exception was written into the bill it is stated, to avoid fight on the privilege tax measure by insurance companies.
 City officials here take the view that the Riggs bill does not affect the collection of occupation taxes for this year, since the first tax payment un- der the Riggs bill falls due on April 1, 1924.
