 Will Vote on Tax Levy.
 The most important question to be decided so far as the Pine Bluff dis trict is concerned, is that relating to the amount of tax that shall be voted for local school purposes. The oues- ton is whether it shall be seven mills or less. In view of the fact that Pine Bluff is growing in popula- ton and is making rapid strides in commercial and industrial lines. many of those interested in the ad- vancement of the city's school inter- ests are of the belief that a seven- mill tax should be voted for. There gre others who are of the opinion that a siX-mill tax should be sufficient While there ,are still others who would prefer to vote for the old five mill tav. was suggested that the ticket be so arranged as to give the voter an opportunity to express his choice as to the amount of tax he de- sired to vote for by placing these fig tres on the ballot but this has no. been done here. In view of the ne- 'essity of improving the Pine Bluff lublic school system and the increas- ing demand for more schools and more teachers the belief among those familiar with the conditions that the seven-mill tax will be voted for by large majority. Those desiring to vote for small levy can do so by inserting the figure they want on the tallot by a stroke of the pen.
 Powers a Special District Board.
 The difference between special school district and common school Cistrict is simple and easily eXplain- cd. In nearly ever corporated town in Arkansas there is a special school district possessing powers not enjoy ed by the common school district Ghe special district has board of six directors, each of whom holds his office for three years two members being elected each year The spe- cial district can borrow money, buy and sell school property, locate and build schools in the district and fill vacancies on the board until the next election
 Each common school district has only three members, whose term of offic eis three years, one being elect ed each year. The power of these members is very limited The dis trict is unable to borrow money and !, can neither buy propery upon which to locate a school or build a school house unless authorized by the voters at school election. The duties of the directors consist in the selection | and management of the schools in their district
 The maximum amount of tax for local school purposes that may be vot- ed for in any district is seven mills. It was formerly five mills. By the recent amendment to the constitution it was provided that seven mills should be the maximum amount of i the levy and the amendment also provides for an increase of the state ! school tax from two to three mills. The officials in the state department of public instruction say they believe that 90 per cent of the vote in the various school district Saturday will i be in favor of a seven-mill tax for i local school purposes.

 Upon the arrival of the several delegations this morning they were met at Union Station by the Little Rock Elks in a body, each delegation being accompanied by q band In each instance the visitors were p% aded through the streets to the hc.ld quarters, where they registered Then the noise will most likely continue throughout the night
