12 percent. The amount of electricity !
for minimum use has been raised ten 1
percent.
On commercial lighting rates, the
new rate is 10c for the first 40 kilo-
watts, as compared with 11c for the
first 35 kilowatts on the old rate, the
next 60 kilowatts will be at 6c, as
compared with 7c for 35 kilowatts as
heretofore, and all additional elec-
tricity used has been cut from 5c to
4c per kilowatt. The reduction on
commercial lighting for the first step
is 9 percent, the second step is 14
percent and the remainder at 20 per-
cent.
These reductions will amount to a
considerable savings to the public,
and were made voluntarily by the
company. A previous reduction was
made on the rates for cooking and re-
frigeration.

With administration forces beating
down every vital amendment, the
measure was approved in almost the

GOVERNOR STOPS USE !
OF CONVICTS AS MULES
Little Rock, Ark., April 20.—Gov. J.
M. Futrell Friday ordered the State
Penal Board to stop the use of con-
victs in place of mules to pull cot-
ton planted on the Rucker estate
prison farm.
The Governor issued this statement:
“The pulling of a 100-pound cotton
planter by six able bodied men is not
harmful to them. The thought that it
is the work a mule suggests that
the practice be stopped. I have re-
quested the board to do so.”

Mount Pleasant Times Review:
The housing situation in Mount
Pleasant has again become acute,
and it is almost impossible for new
families coming to the city to find
locations, as all desirable rent
house and apartments are filled,
and in many instances two families
occupy the same residence. A
number of families have wanted to
move to this city, but have had to
seek locations elsewhere because
they could find no suitable places
in which to live. This seems quite
an economic loss to the city , as
every new family brought here
means more money spent among
local business concerns.
There are lumber yards at Mount
Pleasant, also trees all around. Fur-
thermore, there are carpenters, brick-
layers and painters available. Why
doesn’t somebody break down and
build some houses? The old, iron-
rusted economists tell us there is ab-
solutely no way to get rid of the an-
cient law of supply and demand.
Where there is demand, supply will
appear. Where no demand, supply
{ will cease. Is that so ? We ask not
with more misgivings by members of captiously, but for information. There

Publicity of Income Tax Returns
The revenue bill is being consider-
ed by a conference committee of the
two Houses. IWe believe the fight is
won for full publicity of all tax re-
turns of corporations and sufficient
publicity of returns of individuals to
prevent such tax frauds as perpetrat-
ed by Mitchell, Morgan, Wiggins and
others. Secrecy is a badge of fraud.
All public funds should be collected
and disbursed subject to public in-I
spection.

London, April 19.—A break-down
in bilateral disarmament negotia-
tions and Japan’s unexpected chal-
lenge to activities of this and other
powers in the Far East caused con-1
cern Thursday night in British offi-
cial circles.
Most vexing for Prime
MacDonald’s Government
abrupt action of France in ending
two-sided disarmament
leaving the seemingly hopeless alter-
native of resuming the world disarm-
ament conference in Geneva without
Germany.
Great Britain assumed the role of
sponsor for these two-party ex-
changes when her Lord Privy Seal,
Capt. Anthony Eden, toured conti-
nental capitals. Their failure, there-
fore, was considered by some to be
a blow to the diplomatic reputation
of the MacDonald administration.
Meanwhile, the Japanese declara-
tion of Tuesday that Japan alone
must determine whether foreign at-
tempts to aid China imperial peace
and order in Eastern Asia dealt a jolt
to the British attitude that tht Unit-
td States can do the principal wor-
rying over keeping peace in the
Client while Britain attempts to
guide the European nations out of
dangerous shoals.
The Japanese warning to Britain,
the United States and other nations,
threatened Thursday night to cause
diplomatic tension between Japan and
this country for the first time since
the National Government was form-
ed here.
