RUNS INTO CURB ID
 AVOID AUTO COLLISION

The big touring automobile of o. D. Tucker " of Little Rock was badly damaged Sunday afternoon at Fifth and Elm streets. when it skidded into the c"rb opposite the home of Dr. B. D. Luck, one wheel being broken and other damage done.
 Mir. Tucker was driving west on Fifth avenue, close behind Harry Trulock, when the Trulock car sud denly started to turn, at Elm street. This caused the Little Rock car to make short turn into Elm street, to avoid running into the Trulock car. The Little Rock car skidded across the street into the curb. No one was hurt. But for his action in making the sharp turn into Elm street, Mir. Tucker would have struck either the Trulock car or team standing at the other side of the street

Isn't 1t Time to Find Out?

The question is asked more
frequently: why should a four
bit office be filled with expensive
primaries, followed by an cleo
ton just as expensive?" In the
effort to deprive governors of
their appointive powers, the peo-
pie are forced into heavy expense
to fill vacancies. Is it worth it?
To elect a ward magistrate is it
wise to expend more than the
the full term of Office would bring
the successful candidate? Some
penny whistles cost entirely too
much. st. Francisville Demo-

Too Much Constitution.

A constitutional con vention is
being discussed by many of the
newspaper brethren and promi-
nent citizens of the State. We
may need new constitution, but
one thing is certain, the present
constitution is not understood by
many people as itshould. There
are too many obsolete laws on
our statute books that should be
wiped off. Whether a new con-
stitution or to keep patching up
the present one, is best, we are
not prepared to say.-Vinton

the State Superintendent of Edu.
cation, the purpose of the meet
ing being to canvass the educa-
tional matters that should be
brought to the attention of the
legislature and the Constitutional
Convention, if one should be call
ed. The committee agreed to ask
the special session of the legis-
lsture. soon to be called, to make
the following appropriations for
the benefit of the public schools:
1. State Current School Fund
Two Mills. The present rate
is l 1920 mills and yields less
than a million dollars a year.
This is only one-seventh of the
school funds and would finance a
school session of only five weeks.
The committee is of the opinion
that the burden of educating the
children should be more equally
divided between the State and
parishes.
z For High Schools-$1OO, 600.
The appropriation now received
IS $50, 900, or $3.50 for each school. |
AS the number of high schools
annually increases. the State ap-
preparation for each school de-
creases. In order that the high
schools may not prove a drain up-
on the local school funds the COM
mittee believes that the State
should aid them more generously,

offers the only form of higher

an increase of SIS. 600, and is nec-
essary to take care of the numer-
ous requests for additions to the
departments of domestic science :
and agriculture, especially the
former. Each department of do
nestle science now receives $500 J
