FEW COUNTIES SETTLE.

Little Rock, Aug. 14-Fewer than one-half of the counties have made their settlements for 1919 taxes with the state treasurer. They have 15 days after the approval of the col Iector's settlement by the county court in which to make their settle ment with the state. All of the coun- ties, however, should be in this month, as the annual apportionment of the school funds must be made on Monday, September 6. The counties which have not settled by that time will not be able to participate in the school apportionate and the loss will be heaviest upon the school children of the county. It is expected how every that all of the counties will have settled by that time and that there will be no delinquents. The payments made by the various coun- ties are larger this year than ever be- fore on account of the larger assess ments.

TOWNSHIP SHORT, CANVASS DELAYED

Lack of official returns from one township, Pine Mountain, prevented the Faulkner County Democratic Gen. tral Committee from completing the official canvass and tabulating and totaling the results of Tuesdays pri- mary election. The committee as- sembled yesterday afternoon and can- vassed the vote of all the other pre- Iclncts. but the official totals could not be ascertained on account of Pine Mountain being missing.
 Deputy Sheriff J. I. Summers was sent to secure the box in this township this morning. He brought it in and stated that the committeeman, Robert kimball, was under the impression the meeting of the committee would be held today and was planning to come here with the returns. The Pine Mountain vote was given to Secretary w. J. Drummer. who was instructed to cast up the totals and file the of ficial tabulation with the county con- vention, which meets here Monday at 1 o'clock The tabulated official re- turns will be published in the Log Cabin Democrat as soon as they are available
 On account of many of the members being absent organization of the new committee was deferred until later date to be announced by the chairman, s. A. McHenry of Eagle township.
 The county convention Monday will declare the result of Tuesdays pri- mary and will elect five delegates each to the state convention and the con- gressional and judicial district con- ventions.

MEETING MONDAY
 BY STATE LEGION

Arkansas ex-service men will gath CT at Helena Monday and Tuesday for their annual convention. The Theo- dore Campbell post will be represent
 ed by it's commander, Capt. G. s. McHenry, now with the motor convoy touring Arkansas in behalf of the state guard organizations. Other members of the post with the convoy will also remain over at Helena for the two days.
 The legion convention threatens to be a sensational one. State Com mander James J. Harrison, who drew the fire of part of the Little Rock post and several others for his stand against the bonus proposition, will again face his opponents at Helena, and the issue probably will be a straight one for and against the bonus, with the two forces about evenly matched The same line is ex- pected to hold good when the conven- tion votes upon the selection of a new state commander Leigh Kelley, con-
 HdHuet Ol tHe I OTl STnlln post, Will have a good following of service men from his section and will be strong candidate.
 MT. Harrison hopes to have the state adopt strong resolution against the bonus, which would be- come a relying point for the anti bonus states of the union when the convention is held at Cleve- land, O., where the attitude of the whole organization will be determin- ed. Mir. Harrison has been the leader of the state commanders and execu- tive committees opposing the bonus, and resolution supporting his stand would have a strong influence in the meeting.
 Fort Smith and Pine Bluff will be rivals for the honor of entertaining the veterans in 1921. Fort Smiths claims will be seconded by an offer in the name of the Business Mems League.
