SCHOOL FUND |s
 HELD UP BY SUIT
lSlATuRE IS SAID TO BE ILLEGAL.
PAYMENTS ARE ENDOWED
Senator Edmondson Says Law Max ing the Appropriation Is Un-
 constitutional.
Little Rock


 A suit that may tie up the states common school fund and cause a spe- cial session of the legislature was filed in the Pulaski County Chancery Court by Allyn Smith, Cotter at torney. The petition asks an injunc- tion against the payments to coun- ties of any money out of the com- mon school fund on the ground that no specific appropriation was made out of the fund by the legislature. The grounds of the suit are identical with those on which Chancellor Martineau against the payment of state aid to high schools
 It is said the filing of the suit was intended for two purposes. One was to clear up any doubt as to the legal fly of the appropriation for the schools and prevent the issue being raised later. The other was to take a slap at State Senator Edmondson, who recently filed a suit to prevent the paying of money from the com mon school fund for the aid of high schools.
 William M. Lewis, one of the attor- neys for the suit brought by Senator Edmondson to prevent state aid to high schools, announced he would file an appeal in that case. A hearing on the suit filed by Attorney Smith is set for June 25
 Should the Supreme Court sustain the grounds on which the suit is brought, the entire school system of the state would be affected and it is thought special session of the leg islature would be necessary to appro- priate the money before the opening of the schools.
 In Senator w. o. Edmondson's suit enjoining the payment of S50,000 an. nually out of the common school fund for the aid of high schools, he alleged that the law making the appropria- tion was unconstitutional because it used money for a purpose for which 1t was not collected. It was also al legged that the legislature could not make a law covering appropriations for more than two years.

Every person in the United States 10 years old or over may open an ac- count in a postal savings bank after July 1, according to leaflet on the postal savings system just issued by Postmaster General Burleson. This important extension of the service will be made possible by permitting persons living in communities SO sparsely settled as not to justify the designation of their local postoffices as regular postal savings banks to open accounts by mail.
 Under the plan adopted by the post. master general for opening accounts by mail, an intending depositor, re. siding where there is no regularly de signated postal savings bank, will ap- ply to his local postmaster. who will see that the necessary Identification data is prepared and forwarded to nearby postoffice authorized to &C., cept deposits The intending deposi- tor will then be given permission to forward his first and his subsequent
 
 mail direct to the postmaster at the banking point. for which receipts or certificates will be issued. He may withdraw all or any part of his postal savings by mail and on demand to- gether with any interest that may be due him.
 The new leaflet points out that any person 10 years old or over may open an account in his or her name; that an account may be opened by mar ried woman free from any control or interference by her husband; that postofiice officials are forbidden to dis close to any person, except the deposi- tor, the amount of any deposits that withdrawals may be made without previous notice: and that the govern ment guarantees to repay all deposits on demand with accrued interest

Although 1t may not be affiliated with the University of Arkansas next year, the Law School in Little Rock will be continued, according to J. II. Carmichael, dean of the school. To maintain the connection with the uni versity it will be necessary for the Board of Trustees to rescind a reso- lution to abolish the department passed in June, 1913.
 The resolution provided that the de- partment should be discontinued a year from date, but so vigorous a pro- ing of the board that it was decided the resolution should not become eff fective until the end of the present school year.
 The school was organized as the Arkansas Law School and has no con nection with the university" MT. Carmichael said. "In 1898 was made dean of this school. Later the school was made a department of the univer sity, but has only had the use of the ualle lHIOugl dH dcL LII lne leSlSid- ture, the graduates have been al lowed to enter the practice of law without passing the state examination.
 Should the board decide to abolish this department, the school will be in- corporated under it's old name and continue. It only takes a faculty and students with place to meet, to these"
 The Law Department of the univer- sity has never received any aid from the state, but has been maintained d by the students and individuals.

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE FTP

Any man that wishes he were a
woman should try it for day.
Fasten a Counterpart and a blan-
ket round your legs; buckle strap
around your waist so tight you can't
draw a full breath or eat a hearty
meal; have your hair all loose and
fluffy so that it keeps tickling your
ears and getting into your eys; wear
high-heeled shoes adm gloves size
too small for you; cover your face
with veil full of spots that make
you squirt, fix a huge hat on pins so
that every time the wind glows it
pulls your hair out by the roots;
and then without any pockets and
with three-inch square of lace to
blow your nose with, and short
sleeves and open work stockings, go
for walk on a cold day and enjoy
yourself. Oh. yes you'd like it all
right-Exchange.

REST ASSURED OF THIS

Rest assured of this. The mer-
chants who advertise in The Gem
Worker do so because they want the
trade of union men and women-they
are friends and co-operators Of and
with union labor. The ones who do
not advertise in the Gem Worker are
not favorable to the interests of the
organized workers and if they want
your business at all it is merely that
they may receive the money Of the
workers and give as little in return
as possible for II. When union men
and women patronize the advertisers
in The Gem Worker, they are helping
those who willingly help organized
labor

THE COMMERCIAL CLUB AND
FACTORIES

In the last issue Of The Gem Work
er, in Inns with previous suggestion
upon our part, we published an ar
ticle urging the Commercial club to
present some definite plan Of work
for the ensuing year with the achieve
ment of some visible result in the
effort to make Boise manufacturing
center. In this connection, we pro-
posed that the club undertake the
building of a wooden mill.
We are reliably informed that the
club in times past has investigated
the wooden mill proposition and came
to the conclusion that such an en-
terprise would not pay We know
nothing of the particulars of this So
called investigation as to when it was
undertaken or who are the particular
people who came TO the conclusion
stated. In recent years, however,
there has been a material change for
the better in the wooden mill situa-
ton, and an enterprise that might not
have seen attractive even five years
ago would now present itsedf in a
different light.
Anyway there can be no harm in an
investigation of the matter by the
entire membership of the club. The
club was popularized this year H. the
lowering of dues and an increased
membership. Perhaps, matter that
was only considered by very small
body of our citizens would look diff
ferent if viewed by practically all OF
them.
There are still hints of we'll
known power that works or is sup
posed to work against the estab-
lishment of manufacturing institu-
tions in the city of Boise-and there
are those among us who think that
this power is at work in this matter
and has misled or humbuggcd those
in authority in the Commercial club.
Again we ask that the matter be made
the subject of the talks at one Of the
clubs bi-weekly lunches Why not?
