THE COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS
IN THEIR SESSION AT INDIAN
APoLIs DECIDE IN FAVOR OF
USElNG VOTING MACHINES

mittee on Legislation-First An
nual Meeting.
USElhG VOTING MACHINES

The county commissioners of
Wayne county have been attending
the first annual meeting of county
commissioners of the State at In
dlanapolls for the past two davs.
John Dynes, of this county, was an
pointed member of a committee ON
legislation. The indianapolis News
of last evening says of the meeting:
The county commissioners of the
State, assembled in their first annual
meeting at the court house Yesterday
afternoon, declared themselves in
favor of the use of voting machines
for the entire State After some dis
cussion, in which no opposition to the
machines was exhibited, a resolution
was adopted TO that effect.
Other things declared for by the
meeting were:
The addition of an emergency
clause to the reform law whereby
the commissioners will be free TO
spend money in an emergency. and
the extension of purchasing power
of the county commissioners at other
times from 500 to 5000, without au-
thorization Of the county council.
A minimum salary for commission
| ers higher than many are receiving.
Good roads and bridges, because
of their aid to the rural mail sys-
ten. which was voted a good thing.
The work of the charity organiza-
tions of the State was indorsed.
Officers for the year were elected
as follows: John McGregor, presi-
dent; T. Elwood Beals, Of Hamilton
county, vice president; John Me-
Gaughey, Marion county, secretary.
Economy at County Institutions.
Amos W. Butler, of the State
Board of Charities, addressed the
meeting. He insisted that county
commissioners should visit the insti-
tutions frequently, and should keep
them in the best repair all the time,
as a matter of economy, if nothing
more.
"In some icounties.' he said.
commissioners visit once year. In
others they visit once month. The
latter method gets results. Don't
telephone the management that you
are coming and ask that big dinner
be ready for you, but visit with the
intention of finding how things really
are.'
At the forenoon meeting of the
convention a committee on legisla-
ton was appointed 10 consist of
Terrence a. McGovern, of Cass coun-
ty. Herman Tohulka, Of st. Joseph,
John Dynes, Of Wayne and Thomas
Hussey, Of Hamilton.
A resolution was adopted to in
duce the State, if possible, to build
a home Of its own for the treatment
of the incurable epileptic insane,
rather than continue the long pre-
vailing system of sending them from
the regular insane hospitals TO the
counties from which they came.
1t was decided 10 adjourn to such
place and time as may hereafter be
appointed for the annual convention
Of the State charity organizations.

DEMANDS A GUARAN TEE

Regarding Cincinnati's prospect of
being represented in the Western
Polo League, Frank Bancroft, to
whom the franchise was offered, has
this to say in a Cincinnati paper:
"Three years ago when the Reds
were playing in Muncie, Ind, the
polo magnates approached me ard
invited me to make an Application
for membership to the Western Polo
League, which I did, and learned
through the papers that my appll"a-
ton had been re jected, but to tins
day never had any official commune
cation from the league pro ar con.
Afterward efforts were made to form
a National Polo League consisting OF
Cincinnati, Columbus, Dayton,
Springfield, indianapolis and Toledo.
which fell through for want OF suit
able buildings. In Hamilton, Day
ton and Springfield a year ago Mr..
. Cohen. manager of the Indianapolis
team, called on me and suggested
Cincinnati and Columbus joining the
Western League and agreed to see
franchises were granted them, etc.,
and that chance for Cincinnati to get
into polo never materialized, as Mr..
Cohen failed to report and patched
up his troubles with the Western
League and started this season with
their original roster, Richmond, Num-
Gle, Anderson, Marion, Indianapolis,
and Elwood. Some two weeks ago
internal trouble cropped out in the
Western League, Indianapolis and
Elwood pulling out and leaving the
Western League with only member
ship of four clubs" "
Wishing to get at the facts Of the
case Banny made an engagement
with Jessup at the Hotel Honing on
Sunday and met him there, with NJ
C. Henley, president of the Richmond
Polo Club, and after going over the
outlook found out that Mr.. Bryce, of
Columbus, had declined to embark IN
the enterprise and advised Messrs

SECOND PEACE CONFERENCE
Proposed to Hague sisnatories by
President Roosevelt.

Washington. Oct. a1.-In a circular
note Secretary Hay has carried out the
Presidents Instructions relative to
proposing a second Hague conference.
The note not only contemplates the
re-assembling of The Hague confer
ence for the consideration OF questions
specifically mentioned by the original
conference, as demanding further at
tention, such as the rights and duties
of neutrals. the inviolability OF private
property in naval warfare and the bonn
bardment OF ports by naval forces. but
goes further by practically endorsing
the project of general system of ar
bitration treaties and the establish
ment Of an international congress to
meet periodically in the interest OF
peace.
The issue OF the call while the pres
ent war is in progress is justified by
the fact that the first Hague confer
ence was called before our treaty with
Spain was concluded.

COLORADO SCHOOLS.
We'll Supported and Good Wages Paid
to Teachers.

Washington, Nov. 1.-The Estate OF
Colorado expends more. per capita. for
the maintenance of its public schools
three, namely, $5.0G per capita per an
mum.
This fact is brought out by the an
nual report of the commissioner of
education. Just made public. which
gives school statistics for the year
1923. the latest that have been COM
piled. This report shows that during
the year named Colorado expended for
its public schools the aggregate sum OF
$3,100.S55. OF this amount $1.Ss3, 63
went for salaries of teachers, $40O.G
was expended for sites and new build
ines and the balance was miscellane-
ously expended. J
Out of an estimated population Of
$4,000, Colorado had 131 200 pupils en-
rolled in her public. schools, and re-
ported an average daily attendance 0f
1896. The corps OF teachers nuH-
bered 4.019.
Colorado pays better salaries for
school teachers than almost any other
state in the West. the average monthly
salary of male teachers being $6s.S3
and of females $53.O4. These figures
are way above the general average for
the United States.
The report shows the value of Pub
lie school property in Colorado to be
$7.S68.11s. In support OF It's public
schools Colorado raises $941 ,23O from
state taxes. $2.533.296 from local taxes.
and $619,030 from other sources.
