EDUCATION BOARD
TO PUNISH CADET
FOR MAKING BOAST
Fraternity Member Admits
Saying He Could Rule
| School.

Superintendent A T. Stuart has in
dorsed a recommendation that Lenox
Lohr be deprived of his commission
as lieutenant colonel of the high
school cadets for the remainder of the
year. The recommendation will go to
the military committee of the District
schools today.
This action was decided upon at the
meeting of the Board of Education
yesterday afternoon when the official
report to Mr. Stuart by DR.. George E.
Myers, principal of the Mckinley Man
uel Training School. was read. 1t
charged Lohr with pointed opposi-
ton to authority" and in addition to
recommending his reduction in the
cadet regiment asked that he be sus-
eended from school This, also, bore
Mr. Stuart's formal approval.
The disposition of the case Will de-
pend largely on the report of the mil
itary committee.
In Mr.. Stuart's report he stated that
the Lohr incident was the first one
that had been called to his attention
in which fTaternities had attempted
to control the government OF the
school. Il may mean decision to
eradicate them-a step that has been
taken in many of the public schools
of the country.
His Boast.
In the report of the principal to the
superintendent, DIR. Myers says that
Lohr admits having made this state
ment with reference to getting the
date of the school play changed so
that 1t would not conflict with the
date of a dance planned by the frater-
nity he heads: 81 have three ways
of getting the date changed-by argu-
ment, by coaxing and pursuasion. and
bv force. II the date is not changed
the cast will be broken up"

OPERA Of "S|GURD'
DRAWS SMALL BUT
PLEASED AUDIENCE
Exacting Roles Are Well In
terpreted by Able
French Artists.

II may have been the inclement
weather last night or the fact that
few cared to go to the opera on Good
Friday, but it is certain that those who
heard the French Opera Company at
the Belasco in "sigurd' were amply
repaid and showed their appreciation
by prolonged applause at the close Of
the last act.
Ernest Reyer's four-act romantic
opera, which presents story of the
virile Norsemen and the quest OF Brune-
hild by Sigurd. is exacting in every
sense of the word upon the few prin-
cipals, and demands constant effort.
The fortissimo passages of the brass in
struments are constantly in vogue
throughout the story, and the lighter
reed and string instruments are subor-
dinated 10 the sustained power of the
brass with but few exceptions.
NJ. Fontaine, cast in the title role of
Sigurd, sang with grace and ease the
heavy passages. His aria in the third
act and the duet With Mile. ScalaT,
fourth act, earned him round after
round of appreciative applause. Mile.
Scalar again scored with her delight
fully mellow contraito voice, easily
maintaining the popularity OF her per-
formances earlier in the week.

gen and Gunther. effectively rendered

physiques and prepossessing appear

Reports Milk Bottles
Measure Up to Standard

Less than l per cent OF the 100000
bottles owned by the dairymen of the
District are of short measure. and In
these the deviation is slight, according
to report of an inspection of measure
ments submitted by Col. w. c. Haskell,
Superintendent of Weights and Meas
ures, to the Commissioners.
Colonel Haskell states that he Is ad-
vised by dealers who furnish So per
cent of the bottles used in the District
that they have not had a request from
Washington dairymen for bottles less
than the standard measurement for a
number of years.
This condition, he says, Is just the re-
verse of what IL was eight or ten years
ago, when only a small percentage Of
the bottles measured UP TO the standard
An inspection is now being made OF
ice-cream measures, a report of which
will be submitted to the Commissioners

l READ that Ssh. D. Layman,
president of The National High
ways Cuban organization recent
ly incorporated under the laws of
New York and located at lis
Broadway, states that 40 multi
millionaires are back of an en-
terprise for building national
highways without taxation. The
plans contemplate a 144-foot wide
highway from New York to
Washington and then an extern
sion to other large cities, the esti-
mated cost being 500, 900 a mile.
The plans provide for 12-foot foot
paths on each side, two 20.foot
public roads for animal traffic
only, and two 20-foot roads for
automobiles and motorcycles.
Next come two trolley tracks in
the center of the thoroughfare and
two roads for commercial traffic"
Since the money does not come
from taxation, | presume the null
ti-millionaires will foot the bills.
How their purse strings will have
to be loosened!

l SEE in a late issue of the Pop
lar Bluff Citizen that an eastern
syndicate has bought a body of
Gbout 5000 acres of land in Butler
county. l don't like these big
purchases; they are not good for
the country. Better by far are
small holdings by sovereign citi-
zans-men who are not tenants,
but p~ossessors. If | could have
my way, no man or body of could
lawfully own more than 100 acres
and to limit it to 80 acres would
be still better. l came west to
Iowa in 1855. At that time the
bulk of the land in cultivation was
held by the men who titled the
soil. There were a few tenant
farmers, but each of these looked
forward confidently to the time
when he would possess a farm of
his own. Now, how different!
Hardly n in twenty owns the
land he cultivates, and, worse
still, has no hope or intention of
ever being anything else than
tenant at his landlords will. Just
read this paragraph taken from
the Vinton (La,) Times of recent
date:
"All this week men have been
moving from one farm to another.
All this week there has been a
tearing up and taking away. All
this week men have been undoing
things they spent time in having
done. All this week there has
been a waste of energy and a
lack of soil interest that must
some day be paid for and dearly
paid for. The organism of our
present rural life with it's system
of tenantry is wholly at variance
with the nature of man. Instead
Of order, that divine-like attribute,
there is chaos. System has given
place to accident and as the result
of it all we will eventually have
Observation-Disclosures of soil
wealth.
Not only is the present system
destructive of soil wealth, but of
man-wealth-of nearly all that
goes to make a citizen fit for liber-
ty and self-government.

Effect of the Tariff on Wheat,

1t is claimed by the American
Economist, a protection organ, that
the price of American wheat in
Minneapolis is every year about
IL cents higher than the price Of
Canadian wheat at Winnipeg, and
that the difference is due to the
American tariff on wheat. Wheth-
or there is this difference in price,
or any difference in price, quality
for quality, we do not know. Pos
sibly some of the grain-price ex-
perts of Minneapolis or Winnipeg
may care to advise us. But if the
difference exists, why is it only u
cents pray, when the Anne rican
tariff on wheat is Is cents?
There might be several reasons
for such a difference. 1t might be
the American tariff. But if it we're
there should be a closer ratio of
higher price to tariff than SO per
cent, and explanations consistent
with tariff influence of why Ameri-
can wheat and Canadian wheat,
which have their common market
at a common price in Liverpool,
vary in price at their respective
local markets. Among the pos
sible reasons for price difference,
cost of transportation Legitimate
and illegitimate cost must not be
overlooked. Neither must ques-
tons of quality; nor of purely
local influences with reference to
proximity of the foreign frontier.
One must ask also what the diff
ference in price may be at Ameri-
can shipping points as compared
with Canadian shipping points.
When all the factors affecting
prices of agricultural products are
considered, something your pro-
tectionist never INDUCES in, the
influence OF the protection tariff in
protecting American farmers fades
lightly away.-ChicGgo Public.

Some Sharp Resolutions.

JEFFERSON CITY, March 20, 1911.
Ed. RegiSter-I am instructed by

lowing resolution which was

"ResoIved, that said article was

AN Englishman of some note
says that the United States is sure
to have trouble with Japan, and
that our Pacific possessions invite
easy conquest. He is right as to
the latter proposition. Uncle Sam
ought to have kept hands off of
Hawaii and the Philippines. The
acquisition of these by force and
purchase was a crime against our
own Declaration of independence,
and a blunder still greater than
the crime. And, sure rs the sun

an individual can commit wrong
without rendering eventual atone

Jefferson city Correspondenee.
JEFFERsoN CrrY, March 20.

JEFFERSON CITY, March 20.
Ed. Register-The Legislature has
put the capitol question up to the
people-they can take their choice
of a short term, small bond prop
osition at a special election August
1, 1911, or a long term, larger bond
proposition at the general election
in 1912.
The proposition for the special
election calls for a three and one-
half million dollar capitol, while
the proposition at the general cleo
ton means a five million dollar
capitol.
The three and one-half million
dollar bonds are to run thirteen
years, while the five million dol
lar issue runs thirty years.
The short term bonds are tax
able, the same as other property ;
the long term bonds are non-tax-
able.
The bonds in both propositions
bear three and one-half per cent.
interest, and the tax-rate called
for in each instance is two cents
on the one hundred dollars as.
sessed valuation.
The amount in each proposition
includes building, equiping and
buying additional capitol grounds,
and the act stipulates that any
sum spent in the excess of the
sum called for in the bond issue
shall be "void and forever nom
collectable."
If the smaller bond proposition
carries in the August special cleo
ton, the larger one will go by de-
fault, but should it fail to carry,
then the larger bond issue will be
voted on at the general election
next year. 1t will require a two
thirds majority to carry the small
or proposition at the special cleo
ton, while a majority vote carries
the larger bond proposition at the
general election.
The three and one-half million
short-term bond proposition rep
resents the views of the Legislators
who believe that amount is sufi-
cient to build, equip and buy
needed additional grounds and
who oppose long-term bond is
sues. The five million long term
bond proposition represents the
views of the members Of the Gem
eral Assembly who think three
and one-half million is not enough
and who favor long term bond is
sues.
Both propositions call for re-
building the capitol at the pres
ent seat of government.
It's up to the people-they can
build a three and one half million
dollar capitol by paying a capitol
tax of 2 cents on the $500 for 10
years, or they can build a five
million dollar capitol by paying 2
cents on the $500 for thirty years.
The way to beat the 2 cents for
30 years proposition is to vote for
the 2 cents 10 year proposition in
August at the special election.
The way to carry the long term
proposition, which only requires a
majority vote, is to vote against
the short term proposition at the
special election in August.
The state must have a new cap
itol. All r agreed that it should
be erected at the present seat OF
government. The question is,
shall we have a three and one.
half million or a five million dol
lar building? Shall we pay 2 cents
on the 500 for 10 years, or 2 cents
on the 500 for 80 years?
