SCHOOL EXPENSE AND CHARGES.

IT is rather unsatisfactory to the
people of this city to sec that along
with the graft, suppressed accounting,
ncpotism, and general skulduggery that
have been exposed in the operations Of
the Board of Education in this city, the
Board imposes an increase Of $4,000 in
the school expenditures for the coming
year, over tho expenditures Of the
present year. Docs the wrong doing
account for the increase? And is it to
make more opportunities for grabs that
the additional money is called fort The
Board certainly should explain.
We are glad to see that Mr. Matho-
nihah Thomas. who has done himself
credit in refusing to stand for false
and suppressed reports, is still insisting
on an investigation and correction of
the wrongs At the meeting of the
Board on Tuesday evening he offered
a resolution calling for an iuvestiga
tion of the wrong doing, by committee
of the whole board Even those evi-
IDENTIFY concerned in the crooked trans
actions. did not dare to vote against
it. And so the Board undertakes the
investigation. This work must be full
and open, and the rong-doers not only
exposed, but punished.
Enough investigation has already
been had by a committee Of the Board
to show evil doing. Payrolls have been
held out and tampered with. Property
has been unaccouuted for. Relatives,
partners. and employees of members
have been employed where they could
not earn what they were paid; in somo
eases nder assumed names and aliases.
McmL rs have done work or furnished
supplies, contrary to the direct man
date of the law forbidding everything
Of the sort. And a condition of care
lessness and responsibility has been
shown in many ways, all scandalously
reprehensible.
fetal function in this city. It's opera
tions should be above suspicion. But
they are not. On the contrary, they
are clearly and necessarily under
cloud. 1t is up to the Board to clear
away that cloud especially if they
still intend to appeal TO the taxpayers
of this city to give them a vote of CON
fideuce on the issue Of bonds to build
high school for the east side, when
the building operations of the Board
and the acts Of its building superin
tendent are called directly in question,

THE PRESIDENT TRAVEL-FUND.

We do not believe that there will be
any difficulty in Congress in providing
the travel fund for President Taft. II
has been the custom to appropriate
S25 900 year for the Presidents IS trav-
cling expenses; but in the struggle be-
tween the House and the Senate at the
last session on the question Of increas-
ing the President IS salary, this appro-
priation was cut off.
The Senate wanted to make the Pres
ident IS salary 100000 fat; but the
House would not agree Then the Sen
ate proposed to make it $4,000, with
the usual appropriation of $4,000 for
travelling expenses; but the House re-
fused. Then the compromise was
reached Of making the salary $4,000
fiat. This left the actual pay of the
President the same as before; as Prcsi-
dent Roosevelt received $4,000 a year
salary and $25 900 for travelling ex-
penses, he not being required TO make
any accounting for the $4,000, and as
every company was glad to entertain
and carry him free. most of the travel
ing money was practically an addition
TO his salary.
But President Taft is poor man He
cannot afford TO pay his way in official
or semi official tours Of the country.
Still less can be afford to allow any
company to chalk his hat. And he is
doing exactly right in insisting that he
will not make official tours unless Con-
gress consents 10 these being a public
charge. There was good deal of feel
ing against President Roosevelt in the
late Congress, and this no doubt acted
to unite members of the House to re-
fuse to agree to the Senate proposals.
But there is no feeling against Prcsi-
dent Taft. On the contrary, all feeling
is in his favor. We do not think, there.
fore, that there will be any refusal to
accord him the usual appropriation for
Presidential travelling expenses

1.-THE MAN-EATERs OF TsAvo.

There is little doubt that the deter.
mination Of President Roosevelt TO 90
lion hunting in Africa sprang from his
reading the remarkably stirring arti-
cles by Lieutenant Colonel !. Fl Patter
son, an English army engineer, as pub
Iishcd in The World IS Work, beginning
with last November's issue, and con,
tinuing in the December and January
numbers. A good many other people
all over the world were moved in the
same way by the sensational narrative.

TWO pOLYGAMous RULERS.

| In Turkey they have Just got rid of
cruel. ruthless, polygamous despot.
In Utah, we have such dcspot, who
openly claims the right to rule his people
temporarily as well as spiritually, and
who says that the man of his following
who denies him this right, "lies in the
face of God" And we have not de-
posed him from his rule.
In Turkey, the Young Turks made
a vigorous, concerted move to assert
their Independent political rights, and
have made their assertion good.
In Utah. though Young Utah has for
upwards of twenty years been called
upon to assist itself and force this com.

All of which goes to show that the
movement for freedom and civil emanci-
patton from polygamous tyranny moves
faster IN Turkey than in Utah. Still,
good example has been set. Why not
follow it. even though it is Turkey that
points the way?
