OF
 SCHOOL ELECTORS
 FIXfD BY S1AIUEI
Voters Must Be Male, 21, and Pay Poll Tax, Is
 Supreme Court Ruling

Little Rock, May 14.-That part of the constitution relative to require ments of voters is applicable to school elections the supreme court held Mon day in reserving and remanGing case appealed from the Pike chancery court.
 The supreme courts decision held that voters to participate in school elections must be male residents or 21 years of age; must have paid a poll tax; must have resided in the state 12 months, in the county six months, and in the voting precinct 30 days. }@f"
 The case in which the ruling was made was that of Special School Dis trict Mo- 36 of Pike county against J. B. Floyd.
 The court refused a mandamus peti- tion by the Eureka Fire Hose Manu- featuring company against Ed Deffen- baugh, assessor, and w. T. England, l.. s. Levers and w. H. Floyd, mem- bers of the boards of equalization on Crawford county. to force the officials to assess property in the city of Van Buren at a full market value. The company held a warrant for $594 against the city, and could not get par value fer it.
 The defense was that the assess ment's in the town were at 50 per cent of the market value, the same basis used in the county and in the state, and that in using 50 per cent valua- tion the town was acting under its rights under the constitution. The de- cision was on the same interpretation as laid down by the supreme court in a case from Johnson county ruled on several weeks ago.
 The court Monday advanced and set for submission on June the case Of the state against the Southern An thracite Coal Mining company, appeal ed from the Pope chancery district. The suit involves the powers of the state mine inspector to close mines where protection afforded miners IS not in compliance with the law.

PRESbYTERIANS ID DECIDE F REMAIN
 FEDERAL COUNCIL
General Assembly Also Likely to Settle Long
 Standing Question.

Birmingham, Ala, May 14-Whether the Southern Presbyterian church will withdraw as member of the federal council of the Churches of Christ in America and whether the church will endorse proposal to unite with the Northern Presbyterian church are ex- pected to be determined at the meet ing of the general assembly of the Presbyterian church in the United States at Birmingham beginning Thursday, May IF.
 Certain action taken by the federal council of churches in political mat ters caused the general assembly to lodge 8 protest with the council at it's meeting last December. The colln- cil's reply will be presented at the Birmingham meeting and the general assembly is expected to decide whether to accept it as satisfactory or withdraw from the council.
 In it's reply the council says:
 "It sis our judgment that with q proper understanding of the situation there is no real line of cleavage be- tween the principles of the Presbyteri an church in the United States and the constitution of the federal council. We think it proper. however, to recom- mend that the federal council clearly reaffirm it's adherence to that abso- lute separation of church and state which is one of the cherished herit- ages of the great body of American Professionalism. The churches of the federal council stand squarely upon this historic principle"
 The subject of organic union of the northern and southern Presbyterian churches is certain to occupy prom inent place in the proceedings as it is known that overtures touching it will be presented from several presby- teries. Church leaders, it is said. are of the opinion that any step toward closer relation of churches should in clude all the Presbyterian and Re- form churches in the United States.
 Special interest attaches to the re- port of the committee appointed by the assembly last year to confer with the board of directors of Oglethorpe

EDITORS PROTEST AGAINST INCREASE
 IN POSTAL RATES
Newspaper Men Appear Be- fore Senate Committee,
 Against War Tax Bill.

Washington, May 14.-Newspaper publishers were here today to protest to the senate finance committee against the increase in. second-cla mail rates by application of the parcel pest zone system proposed by the $1,- 800 100000 war tax bill.
 The committee also considered the measure's provision for stamp and es- tate and inheritance taxes, to which there were many objections. The house resumed debate on the bill, and leaders hoped for its passage early in the week.
 A statement prepared by a commit tee of the American Newspaper Pub fishers association, headed by Don c. Seitz of the New York World, said the proposed postal increase was ''cold- blOoded proposition to close the mails to newspapers"
 The proposed increase, the state ment says. 'is not war tax but an effort to suppress and embarrass the newspaper industry. The rate pro- posed is an increase of from 100 to 600 per cent, an increase beyond pre- cedent."
 Besides MT. Seitz the committee in- cluded Robert Ewing, New Orleans Daily States; c. P. J. Mooney. Mem phis Sommercial-Appeal; James R. Gray, Atlanta Journal. and Frederick l. Thompson, Mobile Register.
