NO FUNDS FOR MAY
 SCHOOL ELECTIONS
Governor Vetoed Entire Item of Print ing in Department Education No Provision for Securing
 These Supplies.

A serious question has arisen in the Department of Education regard ing the effect of the governors appro- priation veto on the May school cleo tion and other features of the admin istration of the school laws.
 The governor vetoed the entire item of the printing in the Department, an estimate of which by Supt. Cook amount to $14,019.75 for the ensuing two years. Included in this are items for the printing of poll books and other supplies for the annual school election May 15. There is no other provision whatever for securing these supplies, and the Superintendent says that he does not know what to do about it. There are forty-six separate items in the printing appropriations including all kinds of licenses, diplo- mas, reports, school laws, institute manuals, examination questions, bi- ennial reports, warrant books, ballot for school election, daily registers, etc. After April 1, there will be no fund whatever with which these necessary expenses may be paid.

STATE NORMAL ENROLL
 MENT REACHES 300 MARK

President J. J. Doyne of the State Normal at Conway, reports that the enrolment has reached the 300 mark, which is 23 more than the maximum enrolment of last year. There have besen fifty new pupils enrolled since March 15. The attendance fuctuates, but it has held up we'll this year and there is now an actual attendance of about 250.
 The capacity of the school, not in cluding the dormitories, is 300, but if there were accommodations for twice as many, the school would easily reach its maximum capacity. There are 85 girls in the dormitory, all that it can accommodate, and about 75 boarding outside, while all the boys are com pelled to board in the city at cost exceeding what board in a dormitory would amount to.

CLAIM YOUNG GIRLS WILL
 HAVE TO BE DISCHARGED

Little Rock, March 30.-Some of the Little Rock Department stores say they will be forced to discharge young girls, employed in the capacity of bundle-wrappers and cash-girls, and employ boys, when the minimum wage law goes into effect. They say they cannot afford to pay increased wage for that class of help, and that they can get boys to do the work for what they are paying the girls. In some instances, where girls are en- ployed as waitresses, their meals will be counted as part of their compen- sation, which will bring their pay up to the required limit.

GAME LICENSE FUND
 INCREASING DAILY
Held Fund Cannot be Drawn from Ireasury-NO Appropriation was Made for Money Derived from
 Licenses and Fines.

A question has arisen about the funds for paying the expenses of the State Game Commission, which the conservationists of wild life have suc- ceeded in creating after several years of laborious effort. It is provided that all the expenses of the Commits sion including that of the Secretary and wardens, shall be paid from the funds derived from the issuance of li- censes, fines, etc. There is already two or three hundred dollars in the treasury to the credit of this fund, and more is being received every day, but there is no specific appropriation of the fund and it is held by some that for that reason it cannot be drawn from the treasury. The Supreme Court has held that there must be a specific appropriation for every cent drawn from the treasury for any pur- pose. Which means more test cases in the courts.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES
 HOLDING CONFERENCE

Little Rock, March 30.-Superin- tendent George E. Cook and other members of the University Board of Trustees are holding conference in Pine Bluff today for the purpose of considering plans for carrying on the work of the institution since the gov ernor's veto. 1t is admitted by all that the situation presents some most serious questions.
 The governor vetoed about $37 900 in the Branch Normal appropriation, leaving balance of about $11 ,000 with which to run the school for the next two years. In addition to this, there is a fund of about $20,000, an accu- mulated surplus from the Morrell and Nelson funds of S13, 3,500 received from the government each year, which the governor says can be applied to the maintenance of the school Others have raised the question, however, that this government fund cannot be used for salaries, and that the veto even imperils the funds which the Normal and the University have been receiving from the government for az rcultural extension purposes.
