The management of the Arkansas
State Fair proposes to make that in
stitution one in which the entire state
shall be vitally interested. The eX-
periencc Of the past three years has
demonstrated the wisdom and the ad-
visibility Of conducting n state fair in
the capital city Of Arkansas. An ex-
position of the resources, manufactures
and commercial, agricultural and in
dustrial interests of the state Is not a
local affair but is a state institution.
Permanent grounds have been secured
al point west of the city upon which
buildings are to be erected i'm time for
the 1924 fair. The grounds are located
upon the site of city park purchased
by the city of Little Rock, and II Is
pronounced the most perfectly adapted
site that could have been selected. The
management has undertaken to raise
fund of 100000 with which to erect
buildings and guarantee the success Of
the exposition ncXt fall. Every county
In Arkansas should De and is vitality
interested in the success Of the enter
prise. 4 state fair is not in itself Il
money making institution, but indirect
ly there is no investment that will
yield greater returns to every worth
while industry Of the sta.c. Little
Rock is the logical place for state
fair, and the location Of a permanent
fair here will do more than anything
else to break down the tradition of
untugonism toward the capital city
which has been more or less of a pOpu-
lar fiction.

TAX REDUCTION

Editor The Tribune:
Since the problem of taxation is
so closely related to the economic
situation as whole, it becomes a
problem that it is impossible to
solve in such way that all will be
satisfied. But, on the other hand,
we should not condemn every sys-
tenn Of taxation, and consider it as
a curse or menace, simply because
crop failures and marketing condi-
tons have brought about serious
financial situation. Any tax scheme
will cause some injustice, but the
greatest injustice is always caused
by an unequal distribution of the
burden. However, in general, the
best plan is to distribute the tax
burden in accordance with the ability
to pay.
The last legislature tried to take
some of the burden off real estate
and place a larger burden upon per-
sonal property and other chattels.
On the whole, this shifted some Of
the burdens that had been formerly
borne by the farmer onto the village
and city dweller in communities
where both \urban and rural coAdi-
ti0ns exist. 1t also brought into the
tax paying class large number who
had formerly not paid any taxes, by
removing exemptions. This undoubt-
eddy caused hardship on some,
while in large number of instances
those who could we'll afford to pay
for protection, school and road pur-
poses, were given a chance to do so.
This new law has hardly had time
enough to be tried out before anoth-
er scheme is to be proposed by the
Tax Payers Association, and which is
sponsored by J. G. Gunderson of
Aneta. The petitions far this initial
ed measure will be circulated in
few days according to Mr.. Gunder-
son. This measure proposes a fiat
cut of 25 percent FOR 1924 and 35
percent for 1925-26 on the total levi
ed in 1928. That this measure is re-
troactivc, retrogressive, and vicious,
is the opinion Of the writer. It is
q measure which has neither been
carefully considered or carefully
thought out, and which would prove

Mrs. Nina G.. Van Wrinkle, chief of
Woman's Bureau, Wash. ng ON metro-
politan police.
AS an index of the condition con
fronting the country morally, Mrs.
Van Wrinkle makes the following
startling statements:
Men are no longer the pur-
suers; they are the pursued!
THE complaints of girls run
ming with boys, and of women
seduc;ng men, today exceed by
one-third the cases in which boys
or men are the aggressors.
"This, police, records show, is
a general cdndition-widcspre
not confined to a few towns or
to the large cities Where we
used to have to watch the boys
and men, we are compelled now
to. watch the girls.
~'Not only are the girls getting
worse, but they are getting
worse earlier. We find them of
all ages, but the vast majority
under 81. Many are only in their
middle teens, many in their early
teens. We have had number
of cases where girls of only to
IL have had to be dealt with"
Back of this alarming moral de-
cadence, Mrs. Van Wrinkle finds the
chief factors to be:
/. Lack of discipline in home
and schools.
q. Sex emphasis and "vamp'
