tressing apathy was discovered ON the
part of the voters. Only six states in
the union cast a smaller percentage Of
votes than Arkansas, these states be-
ing Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Miss
issippi, South Carolina and Virginia.
It is notable fact that every one In
these states is in the south, among the
rock-ribbed Democratic strongholds of
the nation. The palm for the lowest
percentage goes to South Carolina
where only eight per cent of the voting
strength Of the state went to the polls,
In Arkansas, only ten per cent took
advantage Of their right Of suffrage.

Little Rock Letter

Little Rock. Dec. S.-For years Ar
kansas has been cropping in the dark
ness in its effort to solve the greatest
problem that ever confronted free
people-the problem of taxation. Time
was when almost any intelligent citi-
zen. without serious research or study,
considered himself capable of writing
laws for the regulation of taxes. But
this is not true now. The cOmplica-
tions of present day business. property
profits, ability to pay and the shifting
of the tax burden, have made the sub
ject one which requires the most care
full study of the laws of other states
and countries. 1t also requires the
study of our own tax returns, tax re-
ports, treasury reports and budgets
and the effect of our tax laws upon the
welfare of the people.
Arkansas has all this knowledge,
gathered from all of the states. stored
in the Capitol building, in the form
of long aecumulatiOns. Stores of laws.
reports and State and Federal publica-
tions, yet it is not being used as it
should be- Few, if any, of our legisla-
tors have ever recognized its value to
them. Great honor awaits any of them
who will provide the means of making
this valuable material available to the
public and our lawmakers. 1t would
be an epoch in Arkansas legislation.
and then no member of the legislature
need grope in the darkness in the per
| fOrmance of his duty
