ESTIMATED INCOME.
Amount of tax to be spread, ............ 9 2sJ

Each year there exists some doubt as
to who are legal voters at the annual
meeting, theopinion being quite gener-
al that any voter is qualified to vote at
the school meeting. Such, however, is
not the case as will be seen by reading
the law printed below. In brief it pro-
vides that all persons 81 years old, re-
siding within the district, who have
property assessed for school taxes, can
vote on any question, other persons of
legal age, who are the parents or guar
dians of children of school ages to 20
years-can vote upon all questions ex-
cept the raising of money. This in
cludes women as well as men. The
law is as follows:
Every citizen of the age of twenty
one years, who has property assessed
for school taxes in any school district,
and who has resided therein three
months next preceding any school meet
ing held in said district, or who has re-
sided three months next preceding such
meeting on any territory belonging to
such district at the time of holding said
meeting, shall be qualified voter in
said meeting upon all questions, and all
other citizens who are twenty one years
of age, and are the parents or legal
guardians of children included in the
school census of the district, and who
have for three months, as aforesaid,
been residents of said district or upon
any territory belonging thereto at the
time of holding any school meeting,
shall be entitled to vote on all questions
arising in said district, which do not
directly involve the raising of money by
tax.

Cruelty in the German Army.

Cases of cruelty to privates in the
German army multiply daily. The
most recent are that of Franszki,
noa-commissioned officer in the Eighty
fifth infantry. who was tried on 1920
counts of cruelty and convicted on 100
of them. He got ten years. The in
teresting point of the case was that
Franszki had left the army and was
serving as a policeman in Hamburg
when the accusations were made. An
other interesting case is that of pri-
vate who was tried for desertion in
Koenigsburg and sentenced to nine
months Imprisonment. After he had
begun to serve his sentence the ease
was reopened. 1t was learned then
that he had deserted through fear of
his life. Once a non-cOmmissioned of
ficer had threatened to run him
through with his sword. The original
sentence was quashed and the soldier
restored to duty. No less than ten
"non-coms" of his regiment are being
tried for cruelty.

10000 Fighting Men Can Be Placed

NEW YORK-Authentic informa-
ton from the frontier is anXiously
awaited here, as the belief is wide

There is great hustle in the armory
in preparation for the shipment Of
rifles and ammunition to the Indians
of the interior, who have agreed to
join against the Colombian forces
Colonel Parette of the Panamaian
army said:
I'VE, who were Columbians until
yesterday, cannot be deceived by any
tactics the Colombians may employ.
We are deeply grateful for the aid the
Americans have given us, especially
as we are now prepared to fight our
own battles on land with the utmost
confidence of victory.
-Four to five hundred men, station
ed in the only three passes available,
can defeat an army. We have all the
men we actually need, for the fighting
will be done in the mountains.
I'VE expect to repel the invasion
without calling out all the available
troops The Indians will certainly
fight on our side The San Bias In
dians, who are Colombian allies, will
not fight at all.
Many light cases of fever are report
ed to already exist in the camps OF
the United States marines, especially
among those who have been scouting
along the trails There is some yellow
fever in Panama now, but none has
appeared in the army.
