Mr.. Staples bill is measure favored
by state educators, from Supt. Kiehle
down. The summer schools have been
so successful that it Is considered the
SO, 900 year called for by tho bill
would be we'll spent.
Despite the knowledge that the in
ternal improvement fund is suffering
from very large deficiency in the pit
of its stomach. members of tho house
keep on piling in bills appropriatlng
thousands OF dollars for roads and
bridges. The suggestion has been made
to replenish the fund from some other
fund of plethoric proportions, and bill
may be Introduced to do this. 1t
would no doubt meet with great consid-
Grafton from the representatives whose
constituents are crying for much need
ed Improvements.
