An Example of Fusion Economy.

In the conduct OF his ONCE by w. J.
Meredith. county superintendent or
schools, the taxpayers of King county
may find an example of fusion economy
as practiced by the fusion officers OF this
state and county. Mr. Meredith Is paid a
salary of s. 900 year and expenses. Dur
ing the past year or more. IL is alleged
the bulk OF the work incident to his ONCE
has been performed by his deputy. Prof
NJ. NJ. Moss. a teacher of English In the
Seattle high schools.
Instead of attending to the work which
he should do under the Law, Mr.. Meredith
has spent the major part of his last term
of two years attending the state univer-
sity, obtaining the education which he
should have had before even becoming a
candidate for his present Office.
Mr.. Meredith entered the state univer-
sity as a student soon after his re-elec-
ton in 1898 The last catalogue shows
that he was student I'm the college of
liberal arts. He graduated from the state
university last spring, obtaining the de-
gree of bachelor of arts. He Is now TAX

While the taxpayers win not be in
clined TO criticise Mr.. Meredith because
he has sought to obtain a good education
at the state university, they elected him
TO the responsible office of county super
intendent for a far different purpose. Mr.

Outlook for n strong Aggregation 4,
Promisfur.

The football outlook at the high school
for this season Is very promising. The
boys have been hard at practice for the
last three weeks at Athletic park, and
are rapidly getting into condition for their
opening game next Saturday afternoon
with the University OF Washington team.
Considerable interest Is being taken I'm
this game by the students OF both schools,
and O lively contest may be looked for.
The high school boys have been very
fortunate this year in the material they
have to choose from, az six OF last year =

out 10 again secure their positions on
the team. The boys also congratulate
themselves on having Case. a former

long runs. out again for practice. Also

years high school team az Everett. They
have also been very fortunate In securing

Mr. Allen Is recognized as one OF the best
coaches IN the West, and the way that
he handles hts men shows that he has not
been overrated

Superint endeut Meredith has ruled tfNt
the Seattle school district has violated
without a certificate. and because text
books different from those adopted by
the state board OF education nave oeeh
used IN the city schools.
The city school authorities have en-
deavored in vain TO obtain from Mr. Mere
dith specific statement regarding ms
charges that teachers without certificates
have been employed The school board
has been deprived in the meantime OF the
use OF $la.1TS1S OF money belonging 20
the Seattle district superintendent because
of the arbitrary ruling OF the county su-
perintendent.
The state law gives the county super
intendent the power to order the county
school year apportionment in case he
finds that the district has violated the
law regarding the employment OF licensed
teachers and the use of text books ADOPT
ed by the state board of education. For
the quarter ending December 81, 1899. the
county superintendent withheld Ss,2sl:az'
for the quarter ending Mareh 81, Is W.
portionment This has been done WITH
out a specific showing OF a violation OF
the law.
In no manner has the law been violated.
IL Is asserted that Superintendent Mere.
dith went to the city school board ana
demanded that City Superintendent Bar
nard be discharged. in watch case he
would not order Is per cent of the district
apportionment held out against the city.
Naturally, the school board refused 70
entertain this sort OF holdup PROPOSE
ton. Mr. Meredith Immediately exercised
his prerogative and ordered the county
treasurer to hold out the sum mentioned.
The money has not yet been returned 70
the state treasurer, the matter being held
pending action by the state superinten-
dent.
Because of the intimate relations exist
ing between Mr. Meredith and state Su-
perintendent Browne, the local school au-
thorities have no great hope that the
state superintendent will rule favorably
to the interests of the Seattle school
district II is expected that the courts
will be appealed to to settle the matter.

For many years II has been supposed
