Geo. r. Walker and John Surber
were down from King on Monday in an
effort to iron out the school house difficult
ty in that district. At the annual school
meeting it was voted to build a new
school house at King and to abandon
the former school house site. There
were 2 in favor Of the proposition and
against it. Under the law two
thirds vote is necessary to change the
site and it now develops that there are
33 voters in the district which leaves the
majority one short. The present schoo
house is located some little distance from
King but it is substantial rock building
and wasbuilt about four years ago at q
cost Of over $1,000. hence the objection
to abandoning it. AT the time Of th'
school meeting Mr.. Surber was not re-
garded as citizen Of the district and

Hon. Geo. Eckert suggests that Med-

The proposition to increase the salaries
Of the members Of the legislature will again
be submitted to the voters at the No
vember election. The proposed amendment
to the constitution fixes III. salary Of nem-
bers of the legislature at $500 for reg
ular session and $3.50 for special ses-
sion, and three cents per mile for every
mile actually and necessarily travelled in
going to and returning from the state
capital IN the performance Of Official duty.
The present compensation is So per day
not to exceed SO days in a session. If
the legislature happens to be in session
longer than so days, the members are
on their own expense. Thus it Will be
seen that the salary Of representative or
state senator amounts to the sum Of 5 SO
for two years or SIS per year. and he
pays his own expenses while the legs
lature is in session, out Of that. This is
wrong. We have always believed tina.
the very small salary paid to members
Of the legislature has had an influence to
cause members to go wrong, but wheth-
er this is true or not, if it is worth any.
thing for a man to spend ms tune n
making a campaign and serving IN tn.

ger salary, does so at financial loss.

Barber county was not represented
at the Democratic party council at Tope-

to send to yesterdays meeting. But
our guess is that the platform will be all
right nevertheless.
