CHANCELLOR RULES
AGAINST STATE AID
SUIT OVER EDUCATION FUND
NOW GOES TO SUPREME
COURT.

Little Rock, May 27.-Chancellor
J. E. Martineau issued an injunction
yesterday enjoining state officers from
appropriating $4,000 from the COM
mon school fund of Arkansas to high
schools. The injunction was issued
after hearing a petition filed by State
Senator w. o. Edmondson of Noun
tain View to restrain State Auditor
M. r. Dickinson from issuing war
ants for the appropriation and State
Treasurer K. G. McDaniels from hon
oring them if presented
Although yesterdays was the first
hearing the injunction was made per-
manent. This was done to allow the
case to go to the supreme court at
once. 1t had been previously agreed
that no action would be taken toward
paying the money from the treasury
until the court had acted upon the pc
tition.
The injunction was granted on the
ground that the distribution of mon
ey to aid the high schools of the state
to be legal should be specifically APP
propriated by each legislature. The
act was passed by the 1911 legisla-
ture and each year since, the appor-
tlonment has been made by the State
Board of Education without addition
al authority.
The contention that the legislature
mad no right to appropriate this mon
ey for aiding high schools or to ere
ate state high school board was ov-
erruled by Chancellor Martineau. He
said the high schools are merely parts
of the common school system and
that it is in the power Of the legisla
ture to provide for them out of the
common school fund, but that the APP
preparations must be. made 'specifical
ly at each session.
The decision brings up the question
OF the legality of the annual distri-
button of the common school fund
without a specific appropriation evey
two years. Senator Edmondson has
been charged with attacking the COM
mon school system on this ground.
He admitted yesterday that if it is
necessary for the legislature to make
a specific appropriation for high
school aid, the same is true of the en-
tire common school fund.

LITTLE ROCK MAY
TRY A STATE FAIR

Little Rock, May 27.-A conference
is being held this afternoon by those
interested in the Pulaski county fair
to discuss the question of starting a
movement to merge it into state
fair eventually. 1t has been an
nounced that there will be no state
fair at Hot Springs this year and it
is not as yet definitely known whether
there will be one there in 1916. MANY

tune time to undertake movement
for the holding of a state fair at the
state capital.
