The National Security League is
designed to promote a greater study
of Americanism and to encourage pa
triotism. General Bullard says:
"Questions of defense are also of
importance. Conditions affecting Army,
Navy and Aviation require full under
standing by our countrymen and fitting
action by Congress in order that ma
tional production may be assured at
all times. Much of the Leagues eff
forts should be to analyze and present
in popular form the problems of pre-
paredness and make articulate the
common-sense for reasonable national
insurance.
"There are many apparently richly
endowed No-MOre-War,' 'Peace-At-Any
Price societies fighting all, even mod
ern measures of protection, and try
ing to supplant healthy and true citi-
zenship ideas with weak international
ism, the security of our institutions
and rights with pious but vain hopes
by their non-molestatiOn forever.
For the foregoing reasons it is I'M
portant that thinking Americans be
strongly grouped to make their views
in such matters emphatically known
on proper occasions. To this end !
shall give my best effort to develop
the National Security League"
The League is a Union of militantly
patriotic men and women, represent
ing all the states, who are determined
upon the following program:
% To obtain an adequate Standing
Army and Reserve Forces, fully equip
ped trained and ready for service, and
the complete carrying out of the Ma
tional Defense Act Of 1920;
(2) To obtain the complete carry
ing out of the 5-5-3 ratio established
by the Conference on the Limitation
or Armament, and the maintenance of
an efficient Navy and Merchant Ma
rine;
CD To obtain a more thorough
teaching of the Constitution of the
United States so that all citizens can
exercise the franchise with intelli-
gence; and to oppose all organizations
which deny the principles of govern
ment enunciated in the Constitution.

Little Rock, November 23.-The ex-
perience of the State of Arkansas in
the collection of tax upon products
severed from the soil, better known as
the Severance Tax, is demonstrating
the wisdom of Governor McRae's pol
icy that all property taxes should be
abandoned and necessary revenues
raised by excise privilege and other
special forms of taxation.
The collections made by the State
Department during the month of Oct
ober. amounted to nearly $1,OOOOOO,
which included Severance Tax, Gaso-
line and Oil Tax, Cigarette Tax and
other taxes.
Gasoline and motor oil consumers
contributed, to the Golfers of the state
during the month, total of $3S1,999.
Cigarette and Cigar smokers paid a
revenue to the State of $4,000.
Severance taxes collected in October
for the Third quarter of 1925 amounted
to S53O,0OO. This tax is levied upon

That the Harrelson Act, the present
Highway Law, would not be disturb
ed in its operation by the proposed
Advisory Commission Road Bill for
the enactment of which Governor Ter
raj has been asked a special session
of the General Assembly, was pointed
out this week by former Senator Peter
A. Deisch, of Helena, one of the franz
ers of the Harrelson Law in 1923 at
an informal meeting Of legislators at
tending the Hill trial in Pulaski Cir
cult Court.
"The measure simply increases the
gasoline tax to five cents per gallon,
and creates fund out of which 20
per cent of the outstanding bonded in
debtedness of Arkansas Road districts
may be liquidated," says Senator
Deisch. "This will give relief to land
owners who are losing their property
in heavily bonded districts. As
measure Of justice to unbonded coun-
ties they are given the preIereHce III
program Of hard-surfacing the un-
finished sections of the State Highway
System. The Advisory Commission
Bill, in spite of some misrepresenta-
tions that have been made, simply
broadens the effect of the Harrelson
Law to give more complete relief TO
overburdened lands, hard roads to un-
bonded counties, and protection of Ar
kansas good name throughout the
country"
A poll of legislators attending the
Hill trial showed a majority in favor
of a special session for the enactment
of the Loughborough Bill.
