TAX FIGURES THAT TALE
Figures compiled by the State
Tax Commission show an increase
of $14,391,186 in the assessed val
uation of public corporations for
1911 over the previous year. The
total assessment for 1911 is
$84,044,176, as compared with
$69,652,990 in 1910.
The railroads are assessed this
year at $78,315,506. Express com
panies and telegraph companies
are assessed at $784,666. Pullman
and other private car companies
at $406,662, and telephone com
panies at $269,297.
Many of the large corporations
and other large property owners
w ho have for years been success
ful tax-dodgers, have been brought
to time by the State Tax Commis
sion, and quite a good deal of
property that had heretofore es
caped taxation has been put upon
the tax books as a result of the
work of the commission. Yet no
hardship has been worked upon
anyone and the commission has
only compelled a more equitable
adjustment of values upon the
part of those who have not been
bearing their just proportion of
maintaining the state government.
The Tax Commission is a Don
aghey product, and has proven a
good thing. The T.-J. bill is like
wise a Donaghey progeny and a
full brother to the tax commission
idea.
It has never been the policy or
the desire of the Tax Commission
to molest the average farmer or
the small tax-payer— it is unnec
cessary to do so, because they are
now bearing and have alwrays
borne the heavy end of the tax
burden.
Our observations have led to
the conclusion that the opposition
to the T.-J. bill is not coming from
the farmers, small tax-payers and
laboring men, but from the cor
porations and other interests who
have so long evaded the payment
of their just proportion of taxes
that they seem to think they
should be exempt.
Even in this county, the chief
objector to the T.-J. bill is a news
paper owned by a corporation.
The Carlisle Independent truth
fully states: “The meanest man
in town is the man who is contin
ually ‘butting in’ when our real
estate men have homeseekers or in
vesters here. This same man
wouldn’t spend a cent for any kind
of public improvement, but takes a
special delight in knocking on some
land man who is worth more to the
country in a single week than a
colony of the knockers would be in
a life time.
Every teacher who desires to
keep abreast of educational pro
gress should attend the meeting
of the State Teachers Association
in Little Hock next month.
Successful
cake-making requires, first
of all, a flour of special
quality and fineness.
i
“Gold Leaf"
Flour
because of its super-fineness
has no equal as a cake
flour. Bread and biscuit of
GOLD LEAF come from
the oven with a delicious,
Cake-like lightness.

may be had of any

The Batesville Guard delights in
charging Governor Donaghey with
being responsible for the present
depleted condition of the state
treasury. But the present editor
of the Guard is the same gentle
man who, six years ago, introduc
ed and helped to pass a bill
through the legislature reducing
the state tax levy from 21 tolil mills
Suppose the salary of the editor of
the Guard was cut down one
| fourth. Do you suppose he could
continue to drink good liquor,
smoke fine cigars, pay his bills, and
I still have as much surplus money
as he had before his salary was re
duced?
It is officially announced that
the corrected returns from the
prohibition election in Maine,
shows a majority of 758 against
the repeal of the state-wide pro
prohibition law of that state.
Maine has had state-wide prohibi
tion for thirty years.
Its good to put something by
for a rainy day, but we should not
become so absorbed in so doing
that we forget to take note of the
present sunshine.
If our day-dreams all came true,
I what a lot of millionaries there
would be in this old world.

Next Thursday is Thanksgiving.
Let us not forget to be thankful.

DON AG HEY SHOWS IT UP
Governor Donaghey put a rather
large puncture in the bubble that
the Turner-Jacobson bill would
work to the injury of the farmer
and small property owner in his
speech at the Miller county court
house Wednesday night. Gover
nor Donaghey showed how the
farmers and small tax payers have
been doing the very things set out
in the bill for many years, but that
the big fellows are not listing their
property at the same ratio or pro
portionate value. Those who heard
the governor are no longer puzzled
as to the fight on the Tumer
Jacobson bill. Texarkanian.
ARKANSAS LOOKS GOOD
Theo. Bryant and family, who
have been in Howell, Texas, the
past year, came in last week and
! will likely make their home here.
Mr. Bryant says the hills look
good to him and especially the
abundance of pure, clear, spark
ling water. He says that where
he was it had rained only once in
the past year and that all the water
they used for family and stock use
they had to buy. Mr. Bryant is
like hundreds of others of the hills
who have journyed to the semi
arid west and have returned.—

FREE SAMPLE CURED OLD
PERSON'S BOWEL TROUBLE
One of the most remarkable proofs of
the unusual laxative merit contained in
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is that it is
effective not only in people in the prime
of life, but at the extremes of ages. As
many letters are received from mothers
regarding the cures of children, as from
men and women of sixty, seventy and
eighty years of age. It must be truly a
wonderful laxative.
In the cure of constipation and bowel
trouble in old people it has no equal. It
oorrects the constipation, dispels the head
ache, biliousness, gas, drowsiness after
eating, etc. People advancing in years
should see to it that their bowels move
freely, and if they do not to take Dr.
Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. You can pro
long your life by healthy bowel action.
Clogged bowels invite disease. Women
about to pass the menstrual period cannot
do better than use Syrup Pepsin several
times a work until the system has set
tled to Us future condition.
Among the strongest supporters of Dr.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin are Mr. W. G.
Zorn of New Decatur, Ala. and Mr. George
S. Spaulding of the National Soldiers’
Home, Kansas, both elderly men. The
regular size bottles can be bought of any
druggist at fifty cents and one dollar, but
a free sample bottle can be had by send
ing your address to the doctor.
Dr. Caldwell does not feel that the
purchase of his remedy ends his obli
gation. He has specialized in stomach,
liver and bowel diseases for over forty
years and will be pleased to give the
reader any advice on the subject freo
of charge. All are welcome to wrlfe
him. Whether for the medical advice
or the free sample address him Dr.

BIG RETURN FROM ONE ACRE
Profit on Corn and Prizes (live
Burley Segraves $655.30.

pared by State Superintendent of
Public Instruction George 13. Cook,
of Little Rock, who is president of
the Arkansas Boys’ Corn Clubs,
show that Burley Segraves of Big
gers made a profit of $655.30 off of
one acre of com last year. This
includes all the prizes that Segraves
won in the corn club contest. Se
graves made a profit of $110.30 off
his one acre of com, after the val
ue of his own time and that of his
horse had been deducted. This
gave him the $300 Agricultural
School scolarship and the $100 trip j
to the Southern Commerical Cong-1
ress offered by the Arkansas Bank- j
ers’Association, as well as other 1
prizes which gave him the aggre-1

TEACH THEH TO WORK
Rear your boys and girls to work
j and take an active interest in the
j business of farming. Work during
vacation will make their minds
keen for study and hard study in
school will give them a desire for
work on the farm and in the home.
You can not afford to encourage
idleness and lack of interest in bus
iness affairs. If you do not require
work of them you will encourage
indolence and you may be respon
sible for their failures in life--Farm
and Ranch.
DIRECTORS AND TEACHERS
A meeting of the school directors
and teachers of the county will be
held at Batesville on Saturday,
December 9th, 1911. A program
is being arranged for the meeting.
Hon. Geo. B. Cook, State Superin
tendent of Public Instruction, will
be present and will address the di
rectors and teachers. It is hoped
that every director and teacher in
the county will be present.

The
Telephone
Don’t add to your troubles
the inconvenience of doing
without a Telephone.
There is no department of
business, professional or in
dustrial life in which it is not
an essential part.
No community, however
small, can enjoy the full ad
vantages of modern life with
out including the Telephone.
By its use to the needs of
humanity it has proved its
claims to rank as one of the
necessaries of life.
The farmer who wants to
make his farm more profit
able and life more pleasant
for his family should have a
Telephone in his home.
