The Gigantic Railroad Deals.

the money kings with the ease that a
huckster unloads his market cart. These
great deals. consultations. combina-
tions. mergers, or what ever you call
them, are rapidly placing the whole rail
road system of the United States in the
ownership and control of a few men.
The general public have for years appre-
hended trouble from such conditions,
but only of late have some of the left

alarm. Mr.. Nj. f. Ingalls,, the Presi.

published interview asserted that thes,

INGALLS, WARNING.

Chicago, April l9.-President Nj. F..
Ingalls,. In an interview yesterday, said
that a halt should be called ON railroad
merging. If merging continues he
claimed that one-man ownership would
result and the next step would be the
government ownership, which, he said.
would be a calamity and an intolerable
condition. He believed in community
of interest by groups national groups.
Merging, he said, would solve no pres
ent difficulties and would bring new
evils.

CHANGE IN THE SCHOOL LAW.

The date of the examination for com
mon school graduates is changed from
the last Thursday in June 10 the second
Friday and Saturday in May. The
date for the January examination is
also changed from the last Thursday TO
the last Friday and Saturday in Jan
uary.
There was an emergency clause
attached TO this bill, and as the Gov
ernor has signed it, il is now IN effect,
and the next examination for gradua-
tion will be ON the second Friday and
Saturday in May.
The second change is made in the
manner of paying the school fund. The
old law provided that the State should
pay 40 per cent in October. 20 per cent
in December, and the balance IN JAN
uary. Every year teachers have been
expecting 10 per cent in October, be
cause the law had promised it, and
have been seriously disappointed when
they did not receive it. The records
show that in the nine or ten years that
this has been the law the 40 per cen.
has been paid in October but two or
three times. lt was thought by the
Legislature that the State ought not 70
promise more than IL can do, SO the law
so changed as to require a payment OF
only 20 per cent IN November, 40 per
cent in December and the balance in
January.
Section 9 provides that the twenty
weeks school term shall not be cut to
nineteen because the institute happens
10 be held during the tenn of school, in
other words that when teacher dis
misses week 10 attend the institute
he must make up the time; the pupils
must have their full twenty weeks
term.
