Little Rock, April l5.-Former Congressman s. Brundidge of Scar cy will at once place in circula- ton petitions to initiate a new primary election law, designed to insure honest elections. The pro- posed bill is essentially the same as that which was defeated by the last Legislature, after 1t had been indersed. in principle. by the pre- ceding state convention of the Democratic party, and drafted by a committee ef representative men, appointed by that convention.
 The educational interests of the state will at once enter upon a campaign in favor of the proposed amendment increasing the maxi mum of the school tax to i2 mills. This was enthusiastically indorsed by the State Teachers Association last week. It was pointed out that the adoption of this amendment would not in itself increase the taxes Of the people, since the amount to be voted on is optional with each district. It would only enable those districts which desire to do so to vote any amount up to twelve mills for school purposes.
 There are rumors that an effort will soon be made to initiate the repeal of the statewide prohibi- ton law. the saloon advocates being encouraged in their stand by the large vote cast for Judge L. C. Smith, whose platform was frankly an endorsement of local option.
 Several other measures are prob able through the |. X R. route. and fl is expected that in a short time the state will be covered with ini- liative petitions.
 One of the issues of the recent campaign. which the people seem to have indorsed was the plank in Dr. Brough's platform. declaring for the election of the members of the St. Francis Levee Board. That organization. representing eight of the wealthiest and most thickly populated counties of Eastern Ar kansas, has for long been 6 polite cal power, and, charges were made by Dr. Brough that 1t had hecoaae a corrupt political machine. Dr. Trough lost only the counties of Phillips, poinsett and St. Francis. which seems to have been a strong endorsement Of his platform
 It has been announced that Rep resentative NJ. B Norfleet of St. Francis county will introduce at his first opportunity in the 1917 Legislature, a bill to provide for the popular election of the directors of the Board, by the landowners and taxpayers.
 That Arkansas genius is recog- nized is daily proven by accounts of achievements in finance. are, literature and other fields of en- deavor by citizens of the state. Last year Robert W. Brown. a member of the junior class of the University of Arkansas, won the Mohawk Conference prize for the best essay on international arbi- tration. submitted by any college student of the United States. Now the announcement has been made that he has been awarded a sehol- arship in history at Harvard uni- versity next year, on account of his achievements.
