Blue Sky Law Ignored.

Special to Independent.
Little Rock, May 24.-Many
reports are being made to the
Blue Sky Department of the
State Auditors office that the
law is not being complied with
by the representatives of some
investment companies, and
prosecutions are likely to fol-
low soon.
"There is no desire on the part
of the department." said Depu-
ty j. J. Beavers, "to interfere
with a company that is trying
to obey the law, or where it has
been violated unwittingly. The
law is new and has been in prac-
tical operation only little more
than a month. But where con-
Germs have been notified and
continue to disobey the law, an
example will be made of them.
There are some cases now under
consideration that are likely to
be referred to the prosecuting
attorney for action in the near
future. They have been ad-
vised that they were acting in
violation of the law, but persist
in it, and this will not be toler-
ated."

EVERYBODY Likes Music.

From the birth Of Adam to
the present day, man has shown
a desire for music, even among
the uncivilized tribes of the
Eastern Hemisphere, they make
weird sounds that seem to have
charms to soothe. We owe most
of our musical education to the
Greeks, according to musical
history. With the advancement
of the world, our musical talents
have also advanced, until today,
small boys are found who can
read music as readily as a grown
person of few years ago. Pc
ter Kramer from The House OF
David, at Battle Greek, Michi-
gan, won the highest honors in
his class last. year, which speaks
very complimentary of his tai
ents. He is spending his sum-
mer vacation with the King
Bros. Texas Ranger Show,
which plays here Friday, May
30. He is conducting the bend
which plays a concert on the

To Collect Back Taxes.

Special to Independent.
Little Rock, May a. Gov.
Futrell has appointed B. E.
Isbell of De Queen and E. X.
Edwards Of Iockesburg, spec
ial counsel to bring back tax
suits against the Dierks Lum-
Der and Coal Company, the De
Queen and Eastern Railway Co.,
the Southern Orchard and Plant
ing Company, and the Little
River Valley Railroad Company.
Several thousand dollars is in
volved in the suits.
There will be among the first
suits to be brought under the
act of the last legislature which
provides that such suits may
be brought on account OF taxes
because of under assessments
for any past year, as limitations
do not run against the state.
The first suit to be brought un-
der the act was that against the
Kansas City and Memphis Rail
way and Bridge Company, Tor
something over 100000. An
action previously brought a.
gainst this corporation 1ol
back taxes was decided in favor
of the rial road company oy
Special Chancellor Coleman
and the supreme court, because
at that time there was no Ia"

possible for them to do all over
the state. Just at the present
time the greatest difficulty is
being experienced in getting
men who will serve as commits
sioners. Under the act, the
State Land Commissioner is
ex-oficio chairman, and two
other commissioners shall be
named by the governor. Judge
Nv. A. Falconer Of Fort Smith
declined to serve, J. NJ. Rains
of Jonesboro resigned, and
Judge Greenfield Quarles of Hell
ena, declined to accept the ap-
pointment; also A. V. Smith
has announced that he will not
accept the position Of secretary.
There are a number of appli-
cants for the places but no ap-
pointments have been made,
and Governor Futrell will prob
ably ascertain the attitude of
the next appointees before they
are announced.
Under the terms of the act,
'The Highway Commission shall
meet quarterly for the transac-
ton of regular business and
special meetings may be held
upon the call of the chairman or
upon the request Of any two
members" This will not re-
quire more than three or four
days time of the two commits
sioners every three months, and
their compensation is to be only
SIS a day and expenses while en-
gagged in official business, it is
evident that the position is me-
one that would appeal to to
many as a lucrative Office. The
greater amount of duties of the
commission devolve upon the
Commissioner of State Lands,
Highways and Improvements,
which is to be his title hereaf-
ter. The commission is requir-
ed to approve the routes for
highways, and authorize the es-
tablishment of Improvement
districts to raise funds under
the act for such improvements.

Some School Figures.

'CottS h1NAhool kS dlS
While the public school sys-
tenn of the United States is not
all that it will be, it is comfort
ing to know that the expendi-
lures for school purposes doub-
led within the ten years ending
in 1910. A recent compilation
of the reports of various states
published gives some interest
ing figures. It shows that for
school buildings the state Of
Massachusetts has expended
Sis for every child of school
age. New York comes second
with Sill. These figures are
gradually reduced until the
bottom of the toboggan slide is
reached in the Southern states,
with North Carolina spending
So for school buildings for
every child Of school age; South
Carolina Sc, and Mississippi 81.
In the matter of expenditures
for the education of the children
of school age the state Of Wash
ington leads with $32, Califor-
MIA follows with $27, and New
York is third with $25. The
same sliding scale is observed
until we reach Florida with SO,
Tennessee spends Sc, North
Carolina 81 and South Carroll
ma 3d. The expenditure of So
by South Carolina in educating
her children of school age may
account for the presence of
Cole Blease in the gubernatorial
chair. There is usually a reas-
on for everything. The average
annual salary paid to teachers
throughout the country is not
encouraging to those who de-
sire to enter the pedagogical
profession. The annual salary
paid teachers, in which Califor-
MIA leads, is 1913; Arizona fol-
lows with $817, and New York
comes third with 1913. South
Carolina pays her teachers per
annum $212, Mississippi $210,
while North Carolina gets a.
long on teachers who earn on
an average of 5000. So long as
these figures remain we must
expect to see a great number OF
our children grow up in unmit-
igated illiteracy. But it should
be remembered that these are
the figures for 1910, since which
time enormous strides have been
made throughout the country,
and especially in Tennessee. We
are becoming more and more a.
live to the necessity of educat-
ing the youth of the land, and
in time each state will see to it
that the children of the people
will receive an education sufti-
cient to enable them to make
their way through life. If we
though more of the common peo-
ole, and less of the frills and fur
bellows and high schools
throughout the country, there
would be more universal and
more fundamental and benefi-
cent education than there is at
the present time.-Memphis
