HIGHWAY COMMISSION
 ORGANIZATION DELAYED
NOT YET KNOWN WHETHER JUDGE FALCONER WILL AC-
 CEPT ON BOARD.

Little Rock, May 9.-It will be sev- eral weeks yet before the State High way Commission has been completely organized and ready for work. It is not yet known whether Judge Falcon Ter of Fort Smith will accept a posi- tion on the board. The secretary, A. W. Smith, is private secretary to the governor, and cannot devote his at tention to the duties of the commis- sion until about August 1, when the new governor is inaugurated. The highway commissioner, E. A. Kings ley, is winding up some of his private affairs so that he can look after his duties.
 "The building of new roads under the law" said Commissioner R. G. Dye, lis purely an improvement dis trict proposition, and it cannot be ex- pected they will initiate themselves. When the commission is fully organiz- ed we expect it to aid in the organiza- tion of districts all over the state."

CONWAY TO COMPLETE
 R. A. GRAND COUNCIL
INVITATIONS HERE ROUND OUT 1000 MEMBERS OF ARCANUM
 IN STATE.

The initiation of about a dozen new members of the Royal Arcanum by the Conway lodge of that organization will round out the l, 1000 members required for the establishment of a grand ocun- cil in Arkansas. In celebration of that event Gen. Jonathan Kellogg, who or 'ganized the local council of the order, and Gen. B. w. Green of Little Rock will attend the ceremonies here next Monday night and deliver addresses. [ Aided by Deputy Supreme Regent McMullen, members of the local coun- cil have for several weeks been making a special effort to increase the mem bership and the applications of nearly 50 have been secured.
 The council was founded about six years ago, through the efforts of Gen. eral Kellogg of Little Rock and pr. G. D. Dickerson of Conway. As there is no grand council in the state, all local councils have been reporting direct to the supreme council, but the organiza- tion of grand council of Arkansas is now said to be an assured fact.

URGES S|MPORTANCE OF SCHOOLELtCT|0N SuPT. G. B. COOK WRITES HEAD OF STATE EDUCATION
 DEPARTMENT ASKS
 GOOD VOTE.

Little Rock, May 9.-In circular letter issued today, State Superin- tendent Geo. B. Cook urges the voters to take greater interest in the annual school election. He writes:
 There is no more important date on our calendar than the third Saturday in May--the date of our annual school election.
 We expended for our public schools nearly four million dollars during the school year which closed June 30, 1912, and for the year just closing the expenditures will, probably, exceed that amount. The funds raised and expended for educational purposes in Arkansas, including our institutions of higher learning, approximate one half the total tax revenue of the state.
 Arkansas has a permanent invest

and changing the site or transferring funds can be considered
 In all districts the election date is the only time the seven-mill local tax can be voted
 The most important question before our citizens is the vote to elect the office of county superintendent of schools in the 60 counties which have not yet established this important and greatly needed office. It is very significant that no other enterprise of any considerable magni- tude is operated without well defined supervision, and that no satisfactory school system has been built up in any Istate without first providing for it's supervision and making a definite county unit" with an active county Superintendent at its head.
 County supervision is for the benefit 'of the rural schools, and its worth in Arkansas has been proved in 15 coun- ties. The state department of public instruction will send free, upon re- quest, copies pamphlet telling Specifically just what county superin- tendency has already accomplished in this state.

 sell any of the securities mentioned in the act or those of a similar character, demand that authority be shown for transacting business. If not forth coming refuse to consider the proposi- ton and promptly report the facts to this office in order that proper action may be had for inhiction of the pen alty provided by the act
 There are many companies now op- erating in the state, subject to the pro- visions of the act, whose business is legitimate. It is not the desire of this office to vex or annoy them, but the law is in force and such companies are warned that prompt action is neces- sary if they would avoid the penalty.
 'It should be borne in mind that it is not the people of Arkansas vino are de- sirous that companies be permitted to do business in the state. It is the com- panies that want to do business with the people The law was enacted for the purpose of seeing to it, as far as possible, tha the people of Arkansas get fair deal. A company whose ob- ject is to do a legitimate business has nothing to fear from the operations of the law.
 "The cooperation of the newspapers of the state, by giving publicity to this matter, is earnestly requested. The people of the state are, also, requested to lend their aid by reporting to this office all cases of violation of the stat ute which may come to their knowl- edge"

ARE COUPLES MARRIED
 BY MAYORS MARRIED?
QUESTION IS RAISED BY RE- CENT DECISION OF ATTOR-
 NEY GENERAL.

Are couples whose marriage cere- mony was performed by mayor duly and legally married? This question is raised by the recent decision of Attor- ney General w. L. Moose that mayors are not authorized to perform mar riage ceremonies in Arkansas.
 So far as is known, Mayor w. H. Dunan is the only Conway mayor who has exercised this authority, but dur ing his term he officiated at several weddings, and the couples are said to be to all intents and purposes married, just as if there was no question as to the mayors legal power to join them in matrimony.
 The statutes provide that mayors have the same jurisdiction within their towns in all civil and criminal cases as has a justice of the peace. Justices of the peace have the authority to per form marriage ceremonies, and Mayor Duncan has taken the position that he has the same power.
 Attorney General Moose, however, holds that the right of marriage is not a judicial matter, and that justices of the peace have this power only be- cause it is conferred upon them by a special statute

 It is, therefore, apparent from a financial standpoint alone that every citizen should be interested in casting his vote in selecting those who shall administer that portion of this great fund available in his district.
 Yet, how much more important is this question than the mere matter of the money involved, who ve consider that our public schooIs our one means of training the rising genera tion for citizenship.
 It is of personal importance to nearly every citizen that persons ca apple and worthy are elected to the school board in his district, for the directors have very broad discretion ary powers, as we'll as full authority to handle the affairs of the district and, once elected, hold office for three years.

THE BLUE SKY LAW.

State Auditor John M Oathout is sending out to the public circular descriptive and explanatory of the fa- nous "blue sky" law passed by the general assembly of 1913. This law is designed to protect the people from the purchase of stock in fake or wild cat corporations, and in Kansas, where 1t was originated, is said to have work ed with splendid success. At the re- quest of Auditor Oathout, the Log Cabin Democrat reproduces below his circular in full
 4'The act of the general assembly of Arkansas, approved March 2S 1913, entitled, An act to provide for the reg ulation and supervision of investment companies and to provide a penalty for the violation thereof, was enacted for the purpose of protecting the people of the state from unsavory concerns which have been operating in Arkan- future.
 Building and loan associations and all other organizations offering stocks, bonds, contracts or similar securities to the public, must meet the require ments of the act. Banks and trust companies offering such securities fall within it's provisions. Organizations now doing business of the character mentioned, as well as those hereafter organized, must comply with it's re- 4uirements.

The Sailing Ships Will Sur.

The Manufacturers Record, in CON-
menting upon the sailing Of the great
Imperator, the worlds hugest leviathan,
says that, because mechanical science
has evolved this giant. is no reason why
the old sailing ship is to disappear from
the seas.
1t is remarkable, says the Record that
in the very newspapers which chroni'
cled the advent of this monarch of the
deep it was also published that, notwith-
standing the wonderful advance in steam
navigation as exemplitied in her, the
value of sailing ships as carriers of
freight, if not for passengers, is still
thriftily appreciated by shipping mer-
chants, it being noted that three sailing
vessels have just been chartered to car
ry cargoes from the far East to either
Baltimore or New York one sailing from
Tsingtao, China, and the others from
Kobe Hiogo, Japan. Thus it appears
that the sailing ship for certain kinds of
service is destined to remain with us for
some time, refusing TO be pushed aside
by steam or other craft, just as the old
fashioned candle declines to be entirely
displaced by gas or electricity for light
ing, and the pen and pencil will not re-

Taxing Single Men.

There have been numberless PROPOSE
tionS in the newspapers. ana even now
and then in legislative bodies, 10 levy
direct taxes on bachelors, says the Tam
pa Times. These have not been taken
seriously and nothing has come of them,
it being universally held by those learn
ed in the law that such legislation would
be unconstitutional as discriminating in
favor of one class of the population and
against another and placing penalty
upon the exercise of personal prefer
ence to the manner of life a man would
lead, he having perfect legal right to
marry or remain single
The matter comes up, however, in
quite a different aspect in connection
with the income tax feature of the tariff
bill. As that measure passed the House
ii entitled a married man to an income
of $1,000 exempt from taxation, and if
there are children, to $500 additional for
each child, provided that the aggregate
exemption on account of children should
not exceed $1,000.
The bill is now in the Senate and the
committee in charge of it proposes to
reduce the exemption for single men or
women to 81, 00O. While this appears at
first glance to be making an invidious
distinction between married and single
to the disadvantage of the latter, it is in
reality just the reverse. In the case of
married man and his wife, two per-
sons. the law will allow $4,000 exempt
from taxation, or So, 600 apiece. Each
unmarried person is allowed for himself
or herself. alone, So, 900, or 80 per cent.
more than each member of a married
couple.
1t is open, however, to question wheth-
er, when the constitutionality of the law
in these respects is tested, as it is GER
tain TO be. whether these provisions dis
tinguishing between married and single
will stand the trial of constiiutionality.
They discriminate between classes, and
for that reason it is probable that they
will be held void.
