 Dr. F. s. H. Johnston was appoint ed pastor of the Conway church. Rev. E. K. Steel, whom Dr. Johnston suc- ceeds, was transferred to the Little Rock conference and will probably be assigned to the First Methodist church at Pine Bluff.
 Changes were made in the bound aries of the district In which the local Ichurch is situated and it's name was changed from Morli ilton to Conway district. The district now embraces considerable territory to the east which was formerly in the White River conference.
 Rev. R. k. l.. Bearden, pastor of the Morrilton church for several years, was appointed presiding elder of the Conway district.
 Dr. James Thomas, pastor of the First church at Pine Bluff, was ap- pointed commissioner to take charge of the financial campaign for Hendrix College and to raise the $300,000 nec- essary to secure an additional $1O0,- coo recently granted to Hendrix by the General Education Board of New York. Dr. Thomas is the man who conducted the colleges first $300000 endowment campaign with signal suc- cess

The above are the principal facts of local interest in connection with the first annual session of the North Arkansas conference, M E. church, south, which concluded it's labors this morning after four-day session at Batesville.
 The news that the next session of the conference would be held at Con- way came as quite a surprise to the members of the church here, it be- ing generally understood that the in- vit;.tion would pe withheld fot year, in order to allow more time for the completion of the new church and al- so on account of the fact that the State Baptist convention had already voted to meet here next year. Two ether towns, Fort Smith and Helena, were put in nomination, but when the invitation from Conway was extend ed by Dr. Johnston, Helena withdrew and Conway was selected by an al most unanimous vote. The decision to meet here will make the early con- PiSIlOI OI Clic iicW pOO,OOo building an absolute necessity. On account of the financial depression work on the building has progressed rather slowly during the past two months, and it had been decided to discontinue construction work until next spring. It will now be necessary to resume work at once and push the building to rapid completion in order to have it in readiness for the confer ence.
 Officials and friends of Hendrix College are delighted with the news that Dr. Thomas is again to lead a campaign for S400,000 additional funds for building and endowment for the institution. Dr. Thomas is in close touch with and has the friend ship and confidence of many of the leading philanthropfsts of Arkansas and adjoining states, and the fact that he has taken up this work is con-

that every voter attend the primary

1t is important that the best man

the highest Importance that the man

Greater Care and Economy in Making
Appropriations So As to Reduce
Taxation.
Another very important issue in the
coming campaign is an intelligent
method of appropriating public funds.
In my first message to the legislature,
1911, l made the following recon.
mendations: ..- .,-
Il believe that the time has arrived
in the history of this state, when the
public good demands radical modifl-
cation and reform in certain phases of
our state administration.
In the shaping of our state govern
ment, and the administration of our
institutions and public resources, we
are entitled to the best principles and
most efficient methods. Before the
installation of any reform, however,
we wish to assure ourselves that it
can stand the test of experience as
practical and businesslike, that it

the large cities. This is a just pro-
vision because the rural sections in
return contribute to the wealth of the
cities.
Hennepin, Ramsey and st. Louis
counties paid into the state treasury
In all forms of taxes during the year
1913, $2,433,33S.69 and received as their
share of the state allotment for
school and road purposes in the az
gregate only $7SS,S95.S5. This is less
than one-third of the amount paid.
The other two-thirds was distributed
as school and road aid among the
other eighty-three counties. AS a re-
suit, eighty of the eighty-six counties
in the, state received back from the
state nearly twice as much money as
they pay in all forms of taxes, while
Hennepin, Ramsey and St. Louis coun-
ties, including the large and prosper
GUS cities, receive less than one-third
OF the amount paid.
Z The greatest increase in state taxes
this year is caused by the one mill
road tax which was passed in accord
ance with the constitutional amend
ment adopted by the people at the last
general election. In the distribution
of this fund the country shares ex-
ceptionally well. Hennepin, Ramsey
and st. Louis counties pay into the
state road and bridge fund $694,227.OO
and receive as their share of the al
lotment only $105,000.00. These large
counties pay nearly $500 for every
dollar they receive in return, and the
$5S9,2270O surplus paid by them is

conduces to public economy and eff
cheney, and that it represents the true
interests, welfare and prosperity of all
the people as a whole
This has been the keynote of every
message since, but the existing meth
cd of making appropriations from the
public treasury is deep. rooted one
and no relief can come until the peo-
pie of the state instruct the legislature
to adopt better business methods.
The present grab-bag, log-rolling
method whereby all appropriations
are thrown into the legislative hopper
and ground out during the last week
of the session is absolutely indefens-
ible.
Under the constitution of the state,
the governor is authorized to strike
out or veto items in the appropriation
bills but he has no authority to re.
duce them in amount. Under that
authority, I vetoed in the last appro-
priation bills, $225,OO0 unnecessary ex-
penditure and had 1 been permitted to
reduce items, l should have saved at
least 100000 more to the taxpayers
of the state.
Instead of the old method, propose
the adoption of budget system under
which every appropriation must be
carefully itemized and presented to
the taxpayers Of the state at least one
month in advance of every legislative
session. This budget is to be printed
and distributed to the taxpayers of the
state so that they can examine it and
instruct their representatives in the
legislature what expenditures should
be authorized. It should state in detail
the needs of all departments, and in
situations, giving the reasons therefor
so that the people could act with full
knowledge of the needs of each de-
partment.
Distribution of State Funds.

school and road funds, the country

distributed throughout the state, so
that the rural counties receive on an
average nearly three times as much
money from the road and bridge fund
as they contribute.
Reorganization of the State Depart.
ments in the Interest of Economy
and Efficiency.
In my message to the legislature of
1911, entered into an extensive dis
cussion of reorganizing the state de-
partments. I emphasized especially
the Importance of simplifying the ad-
mlnistration by the elimination of a
large number of boards or commits
sions which the legislature from time
to time had created for the purpose
OF Keeping step with the rapid prog
ress of the state. I cited number
of instances to show that the old sys.
tenn was not only expensive but i'm
practicable, because it lacked the two
essential elements Of successful bust
ness administration, namely: CO.
operation and definite fixing of
responsibility. AlL0I a very Caretul
consideration Of this matter I recon-
mended the division Of the state ad-
ministration into four great subdivi-
sions or departments, namely: public
domain, public health and safety. edu-
cation, and revenue and accounting.
In my message to the legislature of
1913 l again strongly urged this re-
organization.
My experience in discussing these
questions with the members of the
legislature convinced me that the first
step to be taken was the DEVELOPMENT
OF favorable public sentiment. I
therefore concluded to appoint a VOL
untary commission of thirty-one public
spirited, broad minded, earnest and
patriotic men, without party distinc-
tons, and without reference to per-
sonal friendship, who would without
compensation consider the entire
problem of reorganization and present
