UNDER the new ad valorem taxation
law the railroads of Wisconsin may pay
less taxes than under the old license fee
system. If the figures presented to the
state tax commission by the railroad rep
resentatives are correct, the average
rate of assessment of the general prop
erty of the state is mills per dollar OF
valuation, and at that rate the railroads
would pay about 100000 year under
the license fee system. The railroad men
argue that the assessed value of the tax
able real estate property of the state is
about 80 per cent. of the true value and
that the assessed value of personal prop
erty is about 80 per cent Of the true
value. These conclusions were based on

mittee of railroad men.--Hudson Star

Crow Slaughter Started.

Adispatch having it's origin in James
vile says the wholesale slaughter of
crows has begun in all sections of Rock
county. in response to the offer of the
county board Of 10 cents bounty for each
crow killed. The bounty is offered in
the hope that thousands of them will be
killed by the farmers before the hog
cholera opens in the spring. Instances
are know of farmers having neglected to
bury their cholera slain hogs and of a
flock of crows, after feeding on their
bodies, dropping Gieces of diseased flesh
into fields in which healthy hogs are
feeding. This spreads the disease, and
is known to have caused damage to the
extent of thousands of dollars.

A wager of $500 was made be-
tween Ferdinand Else, manager of Mr. S
Marsden's home farm, and S Marsden,
the implement dealer of Rockdale. The
conditions were that the latter should
strip 900 pounds of Comstock Spanish
tobacco raised on said farm in ten hours,
should take the tobacco that Mr. Elise
had put in the stripping room previous
to wager. Monday was the day chosen
for the trial. At the end of ten hours
when they weighed the bundles it was
found that S had stripped GAL pounds,
Al pounds more than the amount re-
quired. He says this pays better than

LOUlSIANA'S GREATEST NEED
EXCEPTIONALLY.
In answer to the question,
what is louisiana greatest need
Internationally, propOunded by
the Louisianas School Review to a
number of leading teachers over
the State, the response was al
most unanimous that more eff
Gent supervision was the great
est need, which, was probably
the answer expected, as not
alone by the teachers, but by
the people generally is it coming
to he forcibly recognized that
the efficiency of a school system
depends upon the kind of super
vision. This recognition has
grown into a certainty in the few
parishes where trained superin-
tendents have been employed,
notably in this parish, where
there has been such betterment
that it really seems strange that
the school boards of every
parish have not followed the
lead promptly. Prof. V. L. Roy,
of the Southwest Louisiana In
dustrial Institute, expresses
very clearly in his reply the
value of a trained superintendent
as follows:
A competent superintendent
presuppOses a competent school
board: but, of the two, the super
intendent is the more important.
No parish is so poor that it can
not afford to have, and to pay
for, a qualified superintendent;
nor is any parish so wealthy that
it can commit such an extrava-
gance as TO employ an incompe-
tent superintendent, be his
salary $25 per month.
The qualified superintendent
is almost a panacea for school
ills; he appoints better teachers.
secures better teaching, creates
a healthy school sentiment, in
fluences taxation for schools,
obtains larger school appropria:!I
tons from police juries, and ad-
ministers the school affairs of the
parish generally in a proper
manner.
As he states, a cheap superin
tendenti is acostly luxury, where
as a high priced one is a cheap
necessity. and the time will soon
come when it will be deemed just
as necessary to have a trained
superintendent as it is to have
schools.
The greatest salary permitted
under the law is 1920 per year.
which by some is considered
excessive, because they do not
understand the real value of a
good superintendent. We shall
see later. that this amount will
be increased, and a generous
rivalry among the parishes for
the best superintendent. This
won't happen to morrow, it is a
little farther off; but it is coming
just the same.
