NEW RAILROAD COMMISSION

Immediately after signing the Walls Emory act, abolishing the Corporation Commission and substituting for 1t the Railway Commission, Governor McRae yesterday appointed Hon. J. Marion Futrell of Paragould, Judge Joe Hard age of Philadelphia, and W. F. Floyd of Little Rock on the new board of Rail road Commissioners. It is believed they will accept.
 In making his selections, Governor McRae acted wisely and well. Futrell. Hardage and Floyd are of that calibre calculated to inspire confidence. and they are iminently fitted for the high station to which they have been sum- moned by Arkansas able and fearless chief executive.
 With Governor McRae'S plan of re- demption given an unhampered swing, we are confident that the state will feel the manifold benefits of d business like administration.

Under an act passed by the late leg
islature new system for taking the
school system of the county has been
provided. Superintendent Graham has
just received instructions and blanks
from State Superintendent Brown di-
recting him to have the census taken
during the month of May. 1t is stated
hat hereafter instead of taking the
census of the school children as of
June 50 the enumeration should be
made in May.
For the purpose of complying with
the new law and to place the system
into operation without delay, Superin-
tendent Graham has issued a call for
the members of the district advisory
boards to meet at his Office next Mon.
day morning. The census is taken by
the members of the board in their sew
eral civil districts for which they re
;eive compensation fixed by law.
Superintendent Graham is anxious
to begin this work without.further de-
lay and urges every member of the
several district advisory boards of the
county to be at his Office Monday
morning. He has the blanks and nee
essary instructions to turn over to the
members so that they can begin the
work at once.
More information is sought in the
new law than was required in former
acts and from these reports it will be
possible to compile much better sta
tistics than before. Since the major
portion of the state school funds are
apporticned to the several counties on
basis of the scholastic population, it
is imperative that the census be TAX.
en- as required by law and that the
work should be accurately done. Full
explanation, instructions and the com

superintendent Monday
