FARMERS LOSE LOVE OF COTTON IN ARKANSAS Refuse to Spend More Than Minimum for Crop This Year; Need Food Loans. Staff Corresojndent ENGLAND. Ark., f'eb. 11.—After months of near-starvation, farmers of this cotton-growing section, who engaged in food riots five weeks ago, are planning only a 78 per cent crop in 1931, mostly in food and feedstuff.*.. “Prospects are for a cheap cotton crop this year. TYtrmers are refusing to spend more than the minimum in producing a crop,’’ said C. E. Hankins, president of Bank of England and chairman of the local Red Cross. “Government seed loans must include a food provision to be helpful to local planters. After the government takes a first mortgage on a man’s crop, he has nothing left to offer banks as security for food loans.’’ “Food loans absolutely are necessary if we are to make a crop,” said W. W. McCray, president of Lonoke County bank, Lonoke. Less than 150 of 6,000 farmers in Lonoke county have been approved for seed loans. Many can not offer sufficient security either for seed loans or to the credit banks. Lonoke, home of Senator Joe T. Robinson, is in the northern part of Lonoke county, with England the largest town in the southern section. Seventeen thousand out of 35,000 In this county are receiving food, clothing and medicine from the Red Cross. After March 1 there will be no more rations, Red Cross officials have warned. Only three-fourths of farm land in this county will be planted this year, due to insufficient finances. Sixty per cent will be in cotton and 40 per cent, in food and feed crops. Heretofore the ration has been 75 per cent cotton and 25 per cent food and fccdstuffs.

50 Years Ago In Legislature

By United Press Senators in the 1881 legislature were favorable to plans for improving state roads and passed a measure introduced by Senator T. H. Ristine, Crawfordsville, aimed at the extension of improved highways. The bill authorized county commissioners to construct free gravel roads with funds raised by issuing not more than SIOO,OOO in 6 per cent bonds over an eight-year period. Under terms of the measure, the bonds were to be paid by assessment on property along the proposed roads. In the present legislature, a bill has been introduced providing repeal of the three-mile gravel road law which is alleged to have led to graft and corruption among county officials and wide abuse of the bill.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

HOOVER WOULD BE DICTATOR, SAYS WHEELER Montana Senator Excepts to Suggestion That Congress Take Vacation. Bn ScriDDs- Howard Xcicsoapcr Alliance WASHINIGTON, Feb. 11.—President Hoover virtually would become the "dictator during a great crisis” if congressional leaders have their way, Senator Burton K. Wheeler, progressive Democrat of Montana, asserted in a statement today. Wheeler is disturbed over the apparent determination of conservative Republican and Democratic leaders to speed up passage, during the next three weeks, of appropriation bills and to disregard other “vitally important” legislation in the houss and the senate. “Mr. Owen D. Young,” Senator Wheeler said, “is quoted as saying that the parliaments of the world should tak£ a vacation. I wonder what he and others, in and out of congress, who are advocating this, mean? “Do they want a virtual dictatorship in the United States where the people can not speak through their elected representatives? Don't they want a forum in which the laboring man, the farmer and the small business man can have his troubles aired? “To me, congress is at least a safety valve for the country in time of a crisis. While I, personally, am not in favor of an extra session of congress, I can see no reason why there should be this undue alarm in reference to it. Neither can I see the wisdom of congress deliberately turning its back to the passage of much vitally important legislation. “If Mr. Young and others who advocate a parliamentary vacation are correct, we should do away with congress altogether and set up a dictatorship such as prevails in Russia, in Italy and in Spain.”

A NEW SOUSE COMES TO TOWN ON SCREEN Meaning That Charles Butterworth Brings Novelty Type of an Old Thing to the Talking Photoplay. "TLLICIT,” a Warner Brothers and Vitaphone comedy-drama, comes to A the Apollo Saturday for one week's engagement. Barbara Stanwyck, remembered for her work in “Ladies of Leisure,” heads the cast and is supported by James Rennie, Joan Blondell, Claude Gillingwater, Ricardo Cortez and Natalie Moorehead. Miss Stanwyck is seen as an ultra-modern daughter of high society, who has her own thoughts on life and love. She does not tln’nk husbands make good lovers and prefers a life with her sweetheart that defies convention, rather than be united with him in wedlock. Although she cares nothing about what gossips sav and think, she

finally yields to the wishes of her friends and her lover and marries him. A year of married life then follows, at the end of which time there has been a gradually cooling of her husband's ardor. He still loved his wife, but in a matter of fact way. The bane of married life, that taken for granted attitude, which in her mind often marks the difference between a sweetheart and a husband and which she dreaded in the beginning, bids fair to wreck their marriage. The steps she then takes, her heartaches and struggles serve to prove or disprove her theories. Charles Butterworth, as the good natured souse, injects the comedy situations to the picture.

EVERYBODY TO BEAR HEAVIER INCOME TAXES

Levy on Man of Moderate Means Boosted First Time Since War. Bn Scrippt-Hotcard Xewupaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.—For the first time since the war, income taxes will be heavier this year, instead of less, for the man of moderate means. When income tax returns are made in March, the man with $4,000 net income or less will find himself paying three times as much money as he paid last year, and the man with bigger income will pay 5 per cent instead of 4 per cent. Congress has not legislated this session on the subject of taxes. However, the temporary reduction in tax rates of 1 per cent, recommended by President Hoover in 1929 for one year only, w y as not recommended again for this year. So the rate of 1% per cent on incomes under $4,000 automatically is restored in place of the Vi of 1 per cent rate paid last year. Since war times, tax rates have been reduced every even numbered year, which means every election year, except in 1920 and i922. In 1921, the last year of severe depression before that of the present time, a substantial reduction in taxes was made. This year the country not only will pay more than it paid last DAY {?> COIMP STOP-4-IN-1 WAY Take two tablets of safe HILL’S CASCARA QUININE right away—follow directions—and almost before you know it that nasty COLD IS GONE.

year, but it faces a possible increase in taxes before March 1932. For the first time since the war, the fiscal year is ending with a treasury 7 deficit amounting to $375,000,000, Secretary Mellon estimates. There is every prospect that tnis deficit will grow larger during the coming fiscal year. At the same time, the amount applied to reduction of the public debt has been reduced this year to almost one-fourth of the amount so applied last year.

DELAY ACTION IN RIPPLE HIGH FIRE HAZARD School Board to tear Report on Buildings’ Condition. In the rush of business, the school board Tuesday night “forgot” to consider relief for 350 pupils who are attending Broad Ripple high school amidst fire hazards and dangerous housing conditions. Paul C. Stetson, superintendent of schools, was to report on an investigation of the Broad Ripple situation. exposed as one of the wor?< in the city school system, but was not given an opportunity. Following the session, Russell Willson, board president, when reminded of the Broad Ripple matter declared. “I intended to ask for that report, but it slipped my mind.” The matter is in hands of the board’s permanent building committee. Broad Ripple patrons began their demands for anew building three years ago. A hippopotamus has the longest stomach in the world. It ranges from seven to nine feet in length.
