MORE MONET FOR SCHOOLS
Bill Appropriating 0ne-Third Of Gross
Revenues for Education.

piA APPtoPIiatlnS One-1 nifQ OF dIoS3
Revenues for Education.
Senate bill No. LIS, introduced by
Messrs. Mckinney, Parduc and Stewart,
rs an amendment to the general educa-
tional bill, and provides for an increase
Of the state educational fund from rs
to 81 1-s per cent of the gross revenues
OF the state. A companion bill to this
has been introduced in the house BY
/ Messrs. Todd, nannel aud .AleCormick.
The bill will most likely call for Iegnthy
discussion and q thorough analysis, as il
includes larger appropriation for every
department OF the state educational sys-
tenn.
The bin seeks to definitely dispose Of
the 10 per cent equalization fund pro.
yided for in the general educational bill.
This 10 per cent will be placed at the
disposal of the State Board of Educa-
ton with view to being used for slim
ulating and encouraging the consolida-
ton of schools with Transportation IA
cilities and to urge the appointment of
supervisors for Tennessee. The bill also
provides for the use Of the High School
fund not otherwise appropriated, for the
organization Of agricultural, home eco
Monies, manual training and kindred
branch departments In the various coun-
try high schools.
The passage of this bill will mean
much to the State Department Of Edu-
cation to make great progress along the
various lines of school woik, particular
ly in the country schools.
Prof. J. w. Brister, superintendent of
public instruction, is heartily in favor
of the bill, and has given his endorse
ment to it in toto.

With the impression that the election
will take place some time during the
week, numerous candidates are active in
the fight. w. p Hickerson and Judge
Lynch are opposing Hallum W. Gnodloe

will draw some support from the inee-
pendents if he makes the race,

probably not get into the contest for re-
election, although he is understood to
feel that his chances for reelection ere
much better than atlany time since the
Legislature convened. George p. Woollen
is expecting the fusion support for the
office, and has been led to believe that
he would get it. L. w. Thomas, secrc-
tary to Senator Lea, and clerk of the
senate four years ago. and candidate for
comptroller two years ago, is said to be
considering contest for the fusion en-
dorsement.
The Republicans win content them,

be appointed by the governor. The fu-
sion candidate for state treasurer is still

BROWN FOR SUPREME BENCH.
Said He win Be Named to Succeed
Judge Shields.

The general opinion is that Foster ".
Brown win be appointed by Gov. Hooper
to succeed Judge Shields. He win hold
office for two years, and his successor
will be chosen in the August election Of
1914. Judge VIII Wright of knoxville,
leading attorney OF that section, was
regarded as a probable selection until
he entered the fight Tor Judge Shields.
Sam Sells, congressman from the First
District, is of the opinion that Gov.
Hooper win appoint an Independents
Democrat to succeed Judge Shields.
There is no doubt that Judge f. l..
Bullock OF Jacksop would receive the
appointment If it were not for the fact
that West Tennessee already has two
members Of the court, Judge Buchanan
and Judge Neil. Judge Shields is the
only member frcm East Tennessee and
it Is necessary that his successor come
from that division OF the state.
The contest for state officers WIN be-
gin now thut the senatorial contest is
out of the way. H-llum w. Goodloe is
apparently strong with the members OF
the legislature, irrespective of fractional
differences. Mr.. Goodloe has taken no
part whatever in the other contests, but
has been looking after his own candidacy,
and many influential friends are inter-
ested in his behalf.
Several bills were introduced in both
the senate and the house. The most
important We're measures seeking to pre-
vent frauds in the measurement of arti.
cles sold; a state roads law, and q bill
aimed at the soft drink business at john
son City.
