September 2S, 1910, was the day
appointed to meet the people and
school board of Canaan township,
at the Dwyer school building, and to
make a personal investigation of
the needs of, or advisability of re-
opening the above named school.
After measuring the roads from the
Prompton and the Steene schools

Another provision in the Jones
bill is that townships receiving state
aid for dirt roads may not receive
more than $40 per mile, and the
department asked If payments for

only cash tax should be kept within
the $40 mile limit or charged

should be charged against the en-

the townships entitled to it, each
township receiving not more than
$40 per mile in addition to any ex-
penses for surveys.

in said sub-district was absolutely
necessary, then they were ready to
act for the best interests of the
school children of the sub-district.
After the school board met, a mo-
tion was made and seconded to re-
open the school as soon as possible
and secure a qualified teacher. The
vote was unanimous to reopen the
school.
A meeting of the same school
board was called the afternoon of
the same day, at which meeting Eva

State Will Only Make Surveys for
Cash-raX Townships, rrr

In an opinion given the state high
way department Assistant Deputy
Attorney General William NJ. Har-
gest clears up some knotty points
in the Jones dirt road bill of 1909.
In regard to the township road
act, the highway department wished
to know If it could legally incur any
expense in furnishing plans and
specifications to townships which
have elected to adopt the work sys-
tenn of road tax or If the depart
ment could make surveys for
such townships. The appropri-
alton for this purpose carried
by the act is payable only to town
ships which collect their road taxes
solely in cash, and largest holds
that, inasmuch as the evident pur-
pose of the act is to encourage cash

Eree.Trnde Won't Make Jobs.

China is making cotton cloth. The
wages in China for making this cloth
range from 13 to II cents a day.
How long will it be possible for
American labor to compete with that
labor unless there is a high Protec-
tive Tariff on imported cotton goods.
This is not a theory, but condition
that every American wageearner Will
have to confront as soon as China
gets under way in the manufacturing
line. And Free-Trade won't make
Jobs for Americans, but a high tariff
will.

CONGRESS TO ACT PROMPTLY.
Rival Exposition Claims of New Orleans and
 San Francisco to be Heard May 26.

On May 26 Congressional com mittees will hear the several reas- ons New Orleans and San Francis co have to advance in support of their rival claims to recognition as the official Panama Exposition city. Both have $5,OOo,ooO in sight. Both claim the canal will make them greater cities and greater ports. New Orleans will advance the further claim that 1t is the logical point. in that it is the practical North American sea port center of North and South Ameri- can population, and that it can be reached with less difficulty and less travel by seven times more people than San Francisco. Fur ther that it is the logical sea port for nearly all the Mississippi Valley states. In proof of this claim the New Orleans delegation, which will be a strong one, will exhibit large map so circled as to show the. pop ulation in the territory within reach of the two cities. This map will play big part in the discussions. It indicates that by the census of l 900 the last figures available there 1Z,OOO.oOo people living in North and Central America within 500 miles of New Orleans, 65,- 100000 within 1000 miles, and ooOOO.OOO within 1900 miles, as against 100000, 6,ooo,Ooo and 1Z,oOo.OOO respectively within similar distances of San Francisco, and that while the people of Mexi- co. Central and South America can reach New Orleans easily. many of these people. to reach San Fran cisco at all, must pass through New Orleans and then make the long trip across the continent.
 The New Orleans delegation is receiving the endorsement and backing of the Mississippi Valley, many states in the East, several Central American Republics and expects to profit by this support when it appears before Congress May 26.

The Center Of Population.

It will be interesting to follow the center of population. Each succeeding census offers food for reflection. It is yet too early to even speculate upon what the re- cent census may show, but there are incidents in the past that pave the way to what the future may produce.
 The center of population of the continental United States was at the time of the first census twenty three miles east of Baltimore. It has been steadily travelling west ward ever since.
 It was Gen. George Washington who was responsible for the first census. It was he who supervised
