NEED AID
FROM LEGISLATURE
lRy the United Press


FAYETTEVILLE, Feb. l9-ChangCs
in the state constitution allowing 10 al
districts to vote a higher rate for
school purposes and allowing the state
government to tap sources of revenle
now forbidden by the constitution are
one way of relieving the critical school
situation, in the opinion of President
John C. Futrall, of the University of
Arkansas,
Adequate relief cannot be obtained
in this state until there are changes
in the constitution" Futrall derlared.
THE next legislature could give some
relief by doubling the assessed valua-
ton of all property and reducing the
rate of taxation for state purposes
accordingly.
Most people in Arkansas are aware
that the system of supporting public
schools almost altogether by local tax
alton has broken down in this state"
Futrall added, What many persons
do not know is that the same system
has failed in almost every other state.
Some states have partially solved
the problem by making appropriations
of large sums from their state treas
uries to apply to salaries of public
school teachers"

BANK PAYS TRIBUTE TO
MEMORY OF MR.. c. H. AYRES

At meeting of the directors of the
Columbus National Bank yesterday
morning the following resolutions Of
respect and esteem for the memory
of Mr.. c. H. Ayres late cashier were
adopted.
In expressing our deep sorrow at
the passing our late Vice President,
Mr.. Claude H. Ayres, it behooves us
to chronicle here that in the life of
this community he was prime, a
moving factor. A model citizen, he
was ever ready at all times to foster
and advance the common good. He
did much towards the upbuilding of
this commonwealth, and his presence
will be sorely missed.
As a man, he was Of kindly and
lovable disposition, ever cheerful even
in adyersity. He was strong and firm,
yet always willing to listen to coun-
sci in search of right and truth. He
leaves behind a record free from
blemish, bright with duty well per-
formed.
Bameless in private life of un-
tarnishcd integrity, true to his friend
ship, his memory will ever remain a
cherished possession to us all.
To this institution, the Columbus
National Bank, he was far more than
a mere officer Fer fifty years

think of it-for half century, he
has been an integral part of the daily
life of this institution. He has seen
it grow from fedgling to eagle; from
minor beginning to its present preem-
inence.
For fifty years through good and
evil days, like q faithful sentinel he
has stood steadfast in guarding and
guiding the fortunes of this institu-
tion. Such splendid loyalty, such en-
tire selfabnegation is rare indeed in
this sordid world and it seems to us
proper and fitting that the history Of
such signal devotion be properly COM

that this testimonial be spread upon
the minutes of our meetings and that
a copy of same be transmitted to his
