PUBLIC SCHOOL EXPENSES

Salt Lake City has a most excellent
school system, and handsome and sub
stantlal school buildings, and the people
are Justly proud Of both. Last year the
deficit in the school fund was some-

The school boards have generally ex-

have had full returns for their money
But The moment the school board per-

The board Of education cannot be ac-

What is asked Of the board Is that
when the school year closes there shall
be no deficit and that there shan be
some reduction OF the school debt

people have come to expect almost per-

past has been to make both ends meet,
and 1t has been very successful as a
rule. No doubt the effort of the past

that no deficit will confront the board

II seems to be in the nature Of South
Americans to engage in revolutions.

revolution, than the outs" begin TO

Is that a large part % the population

Venezuela seems TO be particularly
unfortunate In having its government
continually In the hands Of men who
do not possess the confidence Of the
people. The nation was conceived IN
insurrection and bred IN revolution. and
the latest outbreak Is only another
manifestation Of the national unrest
which appears to regard a resort TO
arms as the only method OF securing
redress Of political grievances Since
Napoleon's brother Joseph, king Of

colony, there has always been hostility
