WOULD AID DRUMMERS.

Washington, June 1.-Representativ tive Jacoway of Arkansas introduced two bills in the house today to amend the interstate commerce act, one of which would authorize the issuance of mileage books on railroads and the other would prevent the collection of surcharges on Pullman tickets.
 Under the first bill mileage books would be issued for 2,000 miles to be sold at rate of two and one-half cents mile, with baggage hauled free up to 125 pounds.
 The second bill makes it unlawful for carriers to collect an extra fare over and above the Pullman fare, and the fare for the day coach which is being levied by the railroad companies and which amounts to 90 per cent of the Pullman ticket.

MT. Harrison said the conference had been called to give prestige to the movement The citizens section, with a membership of 300 men and women already provides the vehicle through which 1t may act.
 We are here to launch a movement said he, land not campaign or drive but movement on broad and deep foundation that shall permeate the en- tire state and enlist the active support of every organization and individual that stands for state advancement, The school sentiment we already have must be fostered, and we must create, cryStalize and unify all educational influences, informing the people of ac- tual conditions ant inspirinS thcn with the ambition to provide and apply the most effective remedies.
 Our first objective will be to enroll at least 25,000 men and women there hy creating centers of enthusiasm In e4- cry community. We must build scntl- mon; that will make our people impa- tent of the states educational, r.nh. "

Situation Appalling.

J. R. Hamlen of Little Rock, vice chairman of the citizens section, said that within a half mile of the Hotel Marion is a $15O,OOO school building which has not been opened this year for free school because of a lack of funds He declared the situa tion an appalling one and demands vigorous action. He suggested that central of one or more residents of each county be appointed by the pres ident of the Arkansas Educa tional As sociation and the chairman and director ofthe citizens section, from which smaller and more workable body might be selected as an Executive Committee. This suggestion prevailed and the com mittee will be selected an announced soon.
 In commenting on MT. Harrison's acceptance of the state directorship, Chairman Williams complimented the section upon the character and caliber of it's executive head MT Harrison was major of infantry U. s. army dur ing the World War and was first state commander of the American Legion.

Governor Tells of Pressing Need

Governor McRae in brief address reasserted the statement he has fr- quently made, that upon the education of its people depends the prosperity of the state. He said that he is older than the free school systm of the state, and that he has seen it develop into what it is today. and yet it is only at the beginning He said that there has been much indifference and misunder- standing to overcome.
 When only 326OOO of the 675,000 children of school age in the state at tend school an average of 126 days an nually," said the governor, i've are con- fronted by problem that challenges the best that is in our citizenship. We must do something definite to insure equal school facilities for all children both city and country. There is no ex- cuse for any citizen of Arkansas not to do his utmost to advance the inter- ests of our schools, for God has bless ed our people with prosperity and any man who fails to support the schools to the fullest should be marked in the com munity as disloyal,
 "We are told that there are 300 schools closed in Arkansas this year on account of lack of funds or teachers, and that thousands of teachers are un- der grade. It is also undisputed that hundreds of our teachers are trained at the expense of the state and then go to Oklahoma and elsewhere because of the better salaries. It is not true that we are overburdened with school taxation. We pay only 1924 per capita annually for school purposes, where as the gov ernment statistics show that last year Arkansas paid $21 per capita for ci- gars, cigarettes, tobacco and snuff. The people are ready and anxious to support any advanced educational pro- gram, but they want something tangible and definite. They were ready to in- crease the school levy from five to sev en mills and then from seven to twelve mills, and I am confident will vote for the pending amendment to take the limit off school taxation"
