ARBITRATION TREATIES ARE
DISCUSSED IN HIS TALK IN
ERIE, PENNSYLVANIA.
RECIPROCITY IS DODGED
President Says Hs viii Not Speak
About That Tender Subject Until
Our Canadian Cousins Have Decided
What They Are Going to % About
it-How Hs Decided on Journey.

Erie, Pa, Sept 16.-President Taft
ended the first of his 46 days or
speechmaking with an address In the
auditorium here tonight. Before ar
rlving he had spent nine hours In
Syracuse, N. Y, where he made three
speeches.
The president said he had deter
mined that his average during this
trip would be four and a half speeches
n day so he did not start out at top
speed
Mr. Taft reserved his most impor-
tant utterance of the day for the
speech here when he outlined a plan
by which he hopes to wipe out OBJ
jections In the United states sem
ate to the recently negotiated treaties
Of arbitration with Great Britain and
France.
These treaties have been held up
and threatened with defeat. largely
because several senators have con-
tended that the proposed Joint high
commission which would determine
whether or not question should be
sent to arbitration practically robbed
the senate of its function of passing
upon the question.
A Compromise.
The president tonight suggested as
compromise that the American
members of such joint commission
should be confirmed by the senate.
He said he saw no reason why they
.ka 4, hn
ate. thought II dangerous to trust the
president only to make the appoint
ments.
Mr.. Taft indicated that he would
go further than this and he willing
to wipe out the joint high commits
sion entirely, II need be. and leave the
decision as to whether n question Is
arbitral to board of arbitration. He
also would be willing to have this
board pass not only upon the merits
of the question, but upon the juris-
diction.
Either we are In favor Of arbltra-
tion or issues which are likely to lead
TO war. or we are not" he exclaimed.
II we are In favor of war as the only
means of settling questions of i'm
portance between countries. then let
us recognize 1t as principle and de-
cline all arbitration: but II we are
really In favor of arbitration as a
means of avoiding war, then why
should we not be willing to submit
to impartial men the decision upon a
question rather than to leave 1t to
the result OF a bloody battle, In which
with fair cause we may be beaten
or with an unjust cause we may
conquer
The president did not plunge d.
rectly into a defense of his admin
istration. as some OF his hearers had
expected. One Of the most signifi-
cant things he said was at the
luncheon with New York states faii
commissioners at Syracuse. when he
explained why he had not discussed
reciprocity In his outdoor address tc
several thousands of country folk ans
farmers.
Il am not going to speak about reel.
procity," he said. until after the mat.
ter Is settled In Canada. We havs
done our part and we are waiting an.
1t Is just as well for us to keel
quiet"

States have distributed their money
and efforts than have most of the old
er States, including our own. The
table is for the white population, and
gives the area, the number Of public
high school pupils, and the number
of public high schools.
Even Maine with 2,470 more square
miles of territory and 1858 more pub
lie high school pupils has fewer pub
lie high schools than South Carolina.
Colorado, with more than three times
our territory and 4,019 more public
high school pupils, has provided only
80 public high schools against our
156. Minnesota has certainly one OF
the best systems Of public high
schools in this country, and the sys-
TEN has developed means Of direct
State appropriations. With nearly
three times as many square miles as
this State, and more than three times
as many public high school pupils.
that State has but 199 public high
schools. On MinnesotaIs basis South
Carolina should have not more than
IS public high schools instead Of 1856
''It is not too much to say that We
have now in several counties too many
so-called high schools. We have es-
tablished high schools in places with
out sufficient pupils to support them,
and We are attempting to maintain
two and three schools in territory
scarcely able to maintain one service
able one. Both these mistakes are be-
ing repeated year after year. In num-
bers of instances two teacher high
schools have been established, and
have had to drop to a one-teacher bas-
is in less than two years. Several
one-teacher schools have had to drop
the high school altogether. Under an
other heading this whole matter will
be. discussed more fully"

COMPTROLLER MAKES
CHARGE OF LOBBYING
Report of Comptroller General Jones
to General Assembly-Remedy
Suggested.

mat important appropriations Aec-
essary to the conduct Of the State
government have been left out Of the
appro! .riation bill as the result of
"lobiying" of influential citizens ap-
pearing before the ways and means
and the finance committees Of the
house and senate OF South Carolina
is the charge that is made in the an
nual report Of A. W. Jones, the comp
troller general, which will be sent to
the general assembly.
The following section Of the report
is explanatory:
Estimated revenues and expendi-
lures Of the State government, Code
OF laws 1902, section 676, requires
the comptroller general as follows:
He shall prepare and report at ev-
cry session of the general assembly,
estimates of the public revenue and
public expenditures
The estimates heretofore prepared
and submitted in my annual reports,
have been apparently entirely dlsre-
garded by your honorable bodies. The
ways and means committee and
finance committee, of house and SEN
ate, are annually beseiged at all times,
often during the last moments of your
session, by heads of departments, in
stitutions, and other associations, de-
string appropriations for special pur-
poses. The opportunities and "lobby-
ing" of influential persons appearing
before said committees, have 50 in
creased the appropriations for special
purposes, that important appropria=
tieng necessary to the conduct Of the
business of the g6vernment have been
neglected or unprovidSd for; In some
eases the legislature free Conference
committee has reduced or left QUE Of
the appropriation bill as passed by the
general assembly, actual necessary
appropriations for the conduct Of the
government, and substituted appro-
prSations for other purposes, which in
all probability would have been kill
ed by the general assembly, had its
attention been called earlier to them.
Provision should be made by law,
requiring the heads of departments,
public institutions, commissions and
all other persons or associations, de-
string appropriations for any purpose,
on or before December LIST, Of each
year, to file with the comptroller gen
eTal a statement in detail Of the
amounts of appropriations asked, and
the reasons therefor. The comptrol-
Ter general should be required to tab
ulate and submit the same in printed
form, with comparatively data and esti-
mates of increase, to the governor and
legislature for their information, on
the arss day Of the session. This
would insure desirable publicity with
respect to the demands upon the tax
payers of the State; would facilitate
the legislature in dealing with the
question Of appropriations, and tend
to economy and expedite the business
Of the se&sier.

REVISION IS FIRST
in TWELVE YEARS

The systematic revision of real es-
tate assessments in Faulkner county
by the present. equalization board is
the first to be attempted in this coun,
ty in IL years. The first equalization
board met in the county in 1887, fol-
lowing an act of the legislature ere
ating such boards, and the same rec
ord has been in use by the county
clerk each year since that time. This
record shows nothing except a few
scattering changes in the real estate
assessments since 1899.
The board is continuing its work at
the courthouse and has now complet-
ed the revision of eight of the twenty
three congressional townships. Coun-
ty Clerk Bailey stated the changes in
township 5, range IL, which included
Palarm township, were more numer-
Gus than those of any other township
yet put on the record.
