STATE AID BILL
 ID BE TESTED
SENATOR EDMoNDSoN ANNoUNC- ED HE WILL BRING SUIT TO
 LEARN CONSTITUTONAliTY.
TWO APPEALS HAVE FAILED
Intimated Attack Will Be Made on Appropriations For Other in-
 stitutions.
Little Rock

Little Rock
 A suit to test the constitutionality of the act giving state aid to high schools will be filed in the Pulaski County Chancery Court, according to Senator William o. Edmondson of Stone County. The suit will be an in junction proceeding against the state auditor and state treasurer to pro- hibit them from issuing warrants or paying money out of the common school fund until the constitutionality of the act giving $50,000 each year from the common school fund to aid high schools, is established.
 It is planned to embody in the suit the validity of the educational bills, if they are not trimmed properly by Governor Hays. The ground upon which this claim would be based Is that there were irregularities in the passage of the bill, especially the bill for the support of the district agricul- ture schools.
 Senator Edmondson was the leader of the "battleaX' brigade all through the Senate session. He led the oppo- sition to the state aid bill and offered amendments to strike out or reduce items in the appropriation bills of the educational institutions. with the ex- ception of those for the blind and deaf and dumb Of the state. He was es- pecially opposed to the passage of the agricultural school bill without reduc- ing to at the most S25,O00 for each school per year. As it passed the bill carried S42,500 per year for each school
 The "state aid' law was passed in 1911 and efforts have been to repeal it at both sessions of the legislatur., held since. The vote in the Senate in the last session was close and the bill to repeal the act failed to pass by two or three votes The law provides that S50,000 shall be taken from the com mon school fund each year and used to pay the tuition of pupils in the high schools of the state High schools having a normal training course are given larger amounts than others and those having full four-year courses are given more than those having only a partial course.

GOVERNOR SIGNS
 26 MORE MEASURES
BILL TO EXTEND BOUNDARIES OF TOWN OF EARLE VETOED
 BY GOVERNOR.
MANY WERE LOCAL BILLS
Penitentiary Appropriation Carrying $372,s0o Approved-Appropria
 to Come From Special Fund.
Little Rock


 Governor Hays approved nine Sen ate and IF house bills and vetoed one local house bill. The vetoed bill was to extend the boundaries of the town of Earle in Crittenden county and was introduced by Representative Swep- ston. Errors in describing the bounda- ries of the district to be included in the bill were the reasons given for the veto. It was agreed by the friends of the bill that it's effect would be void if approved and they agreed that 1t should be vetoed.
 Most of the bills approved were To- cal. The penitentiary appropriation, carrying $S72,o00, was among those ap- proved. The appropriation will come out of a special fund and not out of the general revenue fund. Senator To ler's bill to restore towns made cities of the second class by special act of the legislature to their original class, was amongNthose approved. The bill was introduced late in the session as result of the Supreme Courts deci- sion that the legislature could not raise towns to cities of the second class if they lacked the required popu- lation. The bill merely seeks to vali date the organization of these towns as incorporated municipalities.
 Senator Greenhouses bill to provide for the appointment of circuit judges where the circuit judge is physically incapacitated to hold court was taken under advisement by Governor Hays. Several appropriation bills that were presented for signing also were taken under advisement.
 Speculation is current as to the probable action of the governor on the bill providing for redigesting the statutes. The bill is an appropriation measure, and many officials believe it will be vetoed as part of the system of economy the governor is expected to adopt in considering the appropria- tiol bills-

With approximately half of the time gone for the governors action on bills passed by the last legislature only about 51 of more than POO have been acted upon. None of the more i'm portant appropriation bills have been acted upon and the appropriation bill for the maintenance of the state de- partments has not yet been consid cred. The fate of several measures is still in doubt. One is the loan shark bill, which aims to put pawnbrokers out of business.

Two state departments are aiding

Two state departments are aiding the Arkansas exhibit at the Panama Pacific exposition, by seeking sub scriptions to the fund. The State Banking Department has sent letters to all state and national banks in the state and the Bureau of Labor and Statistics has sent letters to all cor porations asking them to contribute to the fund
 The action of the state departments in the matter, came at the request of members of the Arkansas commission, who hope to make up the amount needed through the cooperation of the corporations and banks. The state de- partments were asked to assist be- cause they held the information con- corning the names and locations of the corporations to be appealed to.
 Each of the $500 corporations will be asked to give $10 to the fnud, with the understanding that if the amount needed to carry out the work is not obtained the money will be returned. The amounts asked of the banks range from $10 to S25, depending on the size of the institution. They are asked with the same understandg as those from the other corporations.
 F. B. T. Hollenberg, commissioner general of the Arkansas commission, is confident that the S20,000 needed will be subscribed within a few days.
 Things look very satisfactory" he said. "The subscriptions are coming in daily and we fell sure the needed amount will be raised"

It is thought that within the next two weeks the S25,000,O00 rivers and harbors appropriation will be allotted for the work in various parts of the United States. allowing the dredge and snag boats on the Arkansas river to resume operations. The allotment will be made by the chief of engineers and the Board of Engineers in Washington, D, c.
 Major A. B. Putnam, Unitd States army engineer, who has charge of the river work in Arkansas, said that al though it is not known definitely what amount will be allotted for the work in Arkansas, it is probable that the full amount needed will be appropriat- ed by the board. The work on the Ar kansas river, he said. requires the expenditure of a certain amount of money annually and if this amount is not furnished the work done with a less amount is of much less value than the difference in the amounts fur niShed.
