Claxton puts this query iR his annual
report to Secretary Of the Interior
Fisher, at the same time recommend
ing the appointment in the bureau Of
education Of a specialist in school hy-
giene and sanitation to aid him in the
work
DR.. Claxton declares his bureau
should have more opportunity to study
the needs Of rural schools which

the most dificult OF school problems"
Industrial education, he contends also
ahould be studied by group OF COM
petent field specialists and assistants
to help toward the formulation OF

reau, the report declares, should be-
come the chief source OF information
TO investigators throughout the coun-
try in all phases Of education; whtre-
fore he recommends the appointment
OF man who could give his entire
time to this work. For these and some
minor new appointments an increase
of $3.50, 900 is asked; also an increase
of $4,000 for Alaskan educational
work.
In order that the commissioner HIM
self might spend much of his time in
tho field, attending conventions of
school teachers and officers and visit
ing and inspecting typical schools of
all kinds and grades the commissioner
expresses the opinion that there should
be an assistant commissioner.

NOMINATE WILSON URGES
JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS.
Senator Says He Has Seized on the
Fundamental Idle.


rlottesville, Va, NOV. SIN a
letter to DR.. Hiden Ramsey, of Ashe-
vile, N. c.. president Of the Woodrow
Wilson Club Of the University OF Vir-
ginia. Senator John Sharp Williams,
Of Mississippi. writes in part:
IT believe that we ought to nominate
woodrow Wilson and / believe that
we can elect him. Southerner by
birth and tradition Northerner by en-
vironment and long service; citizen Of
the world Of scholarship he is at once
intensely an American, and yet full of
the spirit Of modernism, which pro
misses to urge the whole world for
ward IN q spirit of daily and weekly
better appreciation Of genuine democ-
racy spelled with a big ID and lit
tie ID both.
Woodrow Wilson has seized the
fundamental idea that If you once pre-
vent special privilege by law, you will
have cured most Of the evils Of which
men have a right to complain. What
first attracted me to him was his en-
phasis Of an idea. Guilt is personal
Behind every corporate abuse is some
man or some set Of men guilty of hav-
ing committed the abuse of some one
man somewhere guilty of having intiat-
led, it, other men guilty of having con-

Corn at 10 Cents Per Bushel or Less.


Young Samuel Riddle, of Endicott,
made 81 bushels of corn this year on
his test acre. The yield was not the
largest in the county but so far as
reported stands second largest. Earl
Poole stands first, with a yield of "a
bushels.
The most remarkable thing in the
production of this acre of corn was
the low cost of production. Mr.. Rid
die makes the emphatic statement that
ali fertilizers, cultivation, labor, ETC.,
to produce the 81 bushels amounted
to only So, making the cost less than
10 cents per bushel This does not
take into consideration the fodder or
corn stalks as rough feed. If these
be counted at their market value the
grain will have been produced almost
if not entirely without cost.-Troy

and can be hitched on to any su}ky or

that it takes no extra power to

We are inclined to doubt somewhat
the statement that it requires no extra

rotary harrow wide enough to cover

plows would make quite a differe ice

However, as many of these attach

This comment was made by Cover
nor Brown today when the petition for

TO the Atlanta Journal, that the Gov

stand doomed to serve a life sentence
in the penitentiary, from which he fed
after being convicted Of the killing Of

It was stated by the Governors

FAIRNESS is SOUGHT.

What would appear to be fair
measure, at least upon first reading, is
the workmens compensation bill,
which has been introduced in the Ore
gon Legislature by Representative
Abbott. The bill deals with the vex-
atious problem of how to care for the
workman who is injupred at his occu-
patton, by providing instant relief in
the matter of hospital attendance,
sick benefits, and compensation for
his injuries.
By the terms of the BILL the en-
ployer pays into a fund known as the
accident fund, an amount equal to 2
per cent of his total payroll, together
with l per cent of the wages of each
man employed. To this sum the state
adds sum equal to 1.3 of the amount
to be used for payments made under
this act. The bill at one step provides
means for eliminating the casualty
lawyer and also the indemnity COM
pany, and places employer and en-
ploye in close relation on this vital
question without intermediate agencies
profting therefrom. The bill is drawn
wholly in the interests of justice to
employers and employees alike. It has
no special champion; it is purely the
work of a voluntary committee, who
believe the vast and unnecessary ex-
pense now incurred for charges and
court costs, by which taxpayers are
mulcted, should be stopped as speedily
as possible.
