iSlature cannot create a rowing commission" to go about the county making improvements anywhere they see fit. Such a scheme cannot be treated as a legislative determination of be- netitS for the simple reason that the improvements are not speci- fled and it cannot be known in advance what improvement is going to be made. It is correct on it's face-a demOnStratable mistake-to say that the inn provement of every road or DOT tion of road in so large a part of the county will result in special benefits, in equal ratio, to all the lands of the county.
 Therefore this statue is inval- i'd so far as it attempts to throw substantially all of the road in- terestS of Crittenden county into an improvement district and au- thorize special assessment to pay for any roads that the commis- sioners may deem it advisable to improve. That would not only be a clear usurpation of the pow. CTS of the county court, but would violate every theory upon which the right to impose local assessments is based"

Little Rock, May 8.-One of the most important of recent de. cisions in the Supreme Court bearing upon the organization and promotion of road improve. ment districts was delivered this week in the,c of Swepston vs Avery, from Crittendon county,
 By act of the Legislature of 1913, the Crittenden County Road Improvement District was created, comprising 95 per cent ot the area of the county and in cluding a number of islands in the Mississippi river and all but seven townships An annual tax of S4 was assessed against each citizen, and mill tax was ass essed for a period of thirty years to cover the proposed cost of proposed road improvement and a viaduct leading to the wagon bridge over the Mississippi; there was also an issue of S85, ,O00 of bonds, approved by the county court, pursuant to the provisions of the act.
 Suit was brought to enjoin the commissioners from awarding the contract and issuing the bonds. In sustaining the injunc- tiOn, the Supreme Court sets forth some important rules that apply all over the state where similar conditions exist. The court in part says:
 Where such a considerable part of the county is embraced in it to render the various roads affected by it diverse and inde- pendent remote, then the several improvements cannot be grouped into districts and treated as single v

ARKANSAS RIVER

Condition on River at State Farm Inyes, tleated by Engineers Banks Cave in Not Less than lS0 Feet With
 in Past Six Weeks

Little Rock, May 8.-There is serious condition on the river front of the State Farm, in Lin. coin county, where the bank is caving seriously as result of the high water in the Arkansas River.
 The bank in front of the main building and stockade have caved not less than 150 to 175 feet with in the past six weeks and is now at one place within forty feet of the levee a quarter of a mile above the main buildings.
 So serious is the condition that the Iron Mountain engineers have been requested to make an investigation, and Com missioner John T. Burkett will endeavor to secure aid from the United States Engineers. All the revetment work hitherto done has gone into the river. It is said the work was only partial as compared with the needs.
 In 1913 a Hoop" was construct ed around part of the levee di. rectly in front of the farm. The present flood has encreased un. til it is within forty feet of the old levee at one point, and anoth- ther Hoop. is suggested as being being necessary If this loop is built" say Commissioner Bul- kett, it will put all the main buildings on the State. Farm out side the levee, where it is only a matter of short time when the land upon which they stand will have disappeared and become the bed of the Arkansas River. Building loops around the already constructed levte is only tempo rary and costly work. Revet- ment to sufficient extent is the only permanent relief.
 "Levee Board officials Stae that in their opinion, in which we concur, that there is grave dar' ger of the river creating new hed. if it continues to make ln- roads on the lands of the State farm. until it finally wears a new channel through some of the bay ous which empty into Cypress Creek.

 prpr, It is sought to restrain tbe Auditor from issuing the warrants. and the treasurer from having them, as drawn upon the
 vouchers of the department of Education.
 The validity of Act 62o, of the session of 1911, setting aside s5O,O0Oa a year for aid to the High Schools from the general school fund it is attacked upon sever al grounds, principal among which are that it is in violation of the law which provides that
 no money belonging to the school fund shall ever be used for any
 other purpose, and that no mon
 ey shall be drawn from the treasury except in pursuance of
 specific appropriation. The act of 1911 provides for S50,000 a
 year to support high schools on
 condition that pupils anywhere
 Tn the county may attend free of
 tuition. An effort was made by
 Representative Condrav, Senator
 Edmondson and others in the
 last Legislature to repeal the
 act. The bill passed the House
 and was defeated in the Senate

 was passed specifically appro
 priating the money.
