by the Cuban Cant Corporation, which
pays its workers with chips instead
OF money. This corporation. which
has many mills thruout Cuba, gives
the workers scraps of paper and after
wards the workers can use the paper
only at the company stores, which
charge ridiculously high prices for all
goods sold. This is a system worse
than fuedalism. for the workers can
obtain the necessities Of life at only
one place, the company store, and
must pay much higher prices than

The "Artega" law prohibits the use

service rendered. The corporation is

Little Rock Letter

Little Rock, June 23-The 44th Gen
eral Assembly is establishing record
by way of extra sessions. The third
extraordinary session of this Assembly
convened at noon today upon call of
Governor McRae. This is his answer
to the rumor which has been in circu-
lation for some weeks that he might
consider becoming a candidate for a
third term. Governor McRae has con-
sistently stated from the first that he
does not believe in a third term and
would not ask for reelection. He has
been just as insistent, however, upon
something being done for the benefit
of our public schools. His first special
session was effective in providing a
solution of the highway problem and
the second session was called for the
purpose of enacting laws that would
provide additional revenue for the
public schools This has proven to
have been a failure in so far as results
are concerned. Not only did the legis-
lature refuse to enact net income
tax law, but the cigarette and cigar
tax which was levied has been declar-
ed unconstitutional by the Supreme
Court. This leaves sIAyS, the Riggs
gross income tax law which is not
yielding the revenue its author had
Pocahontas star herald., 1924-06-27

confidently expected. Therefore, Gov
crnor NlcIlae has declared that he win
put the proposition squarely before the
law makers and give them another op-
portunity to provide adequately rev
enues for the schools. In view of the
prevailing unpopularity Of extra ses-
sions it required an exercise of con-
siderable courage on the part of the
Governor to call an extra session dur
ing the hot summer months so soon
after the adjournment Of the second,
but no one questions Governor McRaeS
courage. He is determined to do some
thing for the schools and has only six
months left in which to do it, The
call for the session is sufficiently flex-
ible to authorize the enactment of any
revenue law and while it is uncertain
as to what will be done, there is little
doubt that some law will be provided
that will aid the schools in maintain
ing a higher degree of efficiency.

Arkansas is expected to furnish a
large number of harvest hands for the
wheat fields Of the west. The harvest
begins in Oklahoma this week and
under favorable circumstances about
5000 men should be required from out
side that state to harvest the crop.
Oklahoma usually affords an oppor-
tunity for three weeks work and men
engaging in the harvest in this state
find it convenient to move ,northward
to the southern line of Kansas where
work is just getting under way about
the time harvest is nearing completion
along the extreme northern line Of
Oklahoma. The natural movement of
men into this state ut this season Of
the year, together with the local labor
supply. is sufficient to meet all early
labor needs and men should not expect
harvest work before June 18th.

tion as to special rates from the Office

The reported wage for the ordinary
kinds of harvest labor in Oklahoma
this year is from $500 to $3.50 per
