KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS NOTES
A Pythian's Duty

I'm the first place" says Robert
Williams, in the Pythian Times,
your duty to you lodge is to be pre-
sent at its sessions 1t is not suffi-
cient that you merely keep your dues
paid up. Of course this is an es-
sential part, but if you would get the
full benefit of the purposes of the
order, you must attend its meetings,
and take some part in the work it
has to do.
Il have heard members say, Well,
| keep my dues paid up and bear my
part of the expense, but just do not
have the time to attend the lodge A
man like that is not true Knight of
Pythias-he is only a member of the
ORDER

destiny to the discretion of the

SCHOOL DIRECTORS

Again have their attention re-
spectfully called to the fact that
the school law requires them to
make their annual report to the
County Examiner by the Goth of
July. The 18th has now arrived
and, so far, only 20 reports have
reached me. By the time this
notice is read, the Goth will be
here. If you are then still be-
hind, send in Immediately; and I
shall do everything in my power
to get your report to the State
Superintendent. Last year |
held back my report and hired a
horse and rode out into the coun.
try to get several reports. l do
not want to do that this time. 1t
is too dangerous. When the
County Examiners report is late,
the whole county is in dang er Of
losing its share OF the state ap-
portionment. 1t would be better
to let a few districts lose out. The
law is right severe on this subject
Directors are not only liable to
have to pay the S25 fine, but they
are also liable for the amount
their district may loose.
Only two of the 20 districts re-
port more money from district
tax than from State apportion-
ment, and these two have not
enough children to entitle them
to existence. So it's plain we
need to vote for the proposed
constitutional amendment.

that Whitney was to care for him,
no relief having been received,

POLL TAX AMENDMENT VOID.
So Declared Officially, By Attorney
General R. L. Rogers.

Little Rock, July 18.-ln an
official communication maue
public yesterday, Attorney Cen
eral R. L. Rogers gave it as MS
opinion that the poll tax amend
ment, which has been enforced
at every election in this state ior
the past thirteen years, was not
legally adopted and that the po'
session of poll tax was not a
legal requisite in voting
The communication is in the
the nature of a letter to James
Cochran, prosecuting attorney az
Paris, at request of Mr.. Cochran
for an opinion in the case. In
asmuch as the opinion is OF great
interest in the state, it was made
public by Attorney General Rog'
ers Immediately after he had
forwarded the letter to Mr..
Cochran, who sought the infor-
nation.
the opinion, coming at this
time, if precedents were to be
followed, would mean that IN
common use this opinion will be
taken as law until the case is
carried to the Supreme court for a
decision. 1t is customary in all
states and has been the rul9 in
Arkansas, when a law was not
clear, to ask for an opinion from
the attorney general. His con-
struction has always been con-
sidered the law until such time as
the Supreme Court should have
passed on the case.
