EQUAL SCHOOL TERM
FOR EVERY SECTION
OF MAURY COUNTY
BOARD or EDUCATION MAKES AN
EQUAL DISTRIBUTION OF
ruNpS.
GIVE; ALL EIGHT MONTHS TERN
Greatest Advances In the History OF
Popular Education In Maury Coun.
ty-ApproprIations Made for Left
wieh and Philadelphia Schools
saturdays Daily.)

Action taken by the County Board
of Education this morning means that
all OF the district schools in the coun-
ty Of Maury hereafter will have an
equal term. The board formally dis
continued the district fund apportion-
ment system and inaugurated the
scheme that was in the mind Of the
Legislature when the county board
system was put upon the statute
books four years ago. Hereafter the
school funds Of the county will be
massed and school that has the nee
essary average attendance of fifteen
pupils will run the same length Of
term that any other school will be In
session regardless of the amount OF
money raised In the district. This
guarantees an eight months term for
every country school.
The Inauguration of the new system
Is the greatest advance step in the
history Of popular education in this
county. It puts Maury county abreast
of the most progressive counties of
the country. 1t Is the end which ed
ucators in the State have sought for
years. It will help the weak schools
without hurting the strong ones. It
gives every boy and girl an equal op-
portunity to secure an education with
out regard to the property values In
the district or section where they
may reside. The plan goes into ef-
feet at once and this years term will
be extended to eight months at all of
the schools of the county.
County Superintendent Graham is
naturally very much gratified at this
perhaps the greatest achievement of
his official life. He has always been
an earnest advocate of the county sys-
tenn.
Some of the colored schools of the
county may be discontinued before
the eight months expires for lack of
the necessary attendance.
An appropriation was made to cover
for the school at Philadelphia, and
with the aid of the patrons of this
school a new house will be built. This
is the last log school house In the
county, and an appropriation for a
new building has settled the fact that
within the year there will be no more
log houses for schools.
An appropriation Of $3.50 was made
the school house at Leftwich. There
was very little other business trans
acted, and the board adjourned.

Governor, and Report Says Ham ls
Sick and Tired of Politics, and Will

Will Patterson resign his Office as
Governor? Close friends of the man
say that he will relinquish his office
next week, or at most by the middle
of February. The astute political
leader has announced, according to a
rumor that Is constantly gaining cir
culotion, that he Is sick and tired of
politics, and that he will resume the
practice Of law in Memphis as soon
as he is out of the Governors chair.
Whether he will resign or not Is a
matter of conjecture. The fact that
he refused to continue in the race as
candidate, although it was a fore
gone conclusion that he would be beat
en-, seems to indicate that Ham really
wants to retire from active service
in the political fieeld. While he will
still be recognized as the man behind
the throne in all the future manirula-
tons of his political gang, 1t is stated
that he will never again use himself
as the candidate.
Patterson's career in the State has
been meteoric one. Five years ago
he was PRACTICAL unknown outside of
his own Congressional district, which
had twice elected him to Congress.
He had also been to the Legislature
from Shelby county, and had served
one term as attorney general. Then
he announced for Governor against
John Isaac Cox, then Governor. and
later one of the chief lieutenants of
the Patterson machine. The campaign
was talked Of all over the country as
one of the bitterest In the history Of
the State. When Patterson announc-
ed as candidate for the third term
in Office, the State was in political
turmoil, and before the November
election had come Patterson was fore.

Maury county Is recognized as the
best fox hunting country in the State,
and hunters over the county report
that the little animals are getting very

hunters would make most interest

fciently large to insure that interest
will be kept up in the meet until 1t

Plans have not yet been fully ma

practically certain that something will
be done toward this end during the
meeting In February. At this meeting
the number of members will also be
greatly increased, and the committee

Political Announcements
Henry Lovin for State Senator.

This week we are called upon to an- nounce the candidacy of Henry Lovin for the Senate of the new State of Ari- zona, and that he will go before the democratic electors of the county for that high office.
 Mir. LOvin has been prevailed upon by his friends to make the race, and now that he has consented to shy his castor in the political ring he will make the fight to win. Mir. Lovin is one of the largest property owners of the county and has held many import ant offices under the electorate of the people. For four years he was sheriff of the county, and at the last election was sent to Phenix to help prepare the constitution of the new state, and in that body was one of the progress ives, having voted for the adoption of all of the progressive features of the constitution, which the people of the territory adopted by so large a maJor- ity. It is not probable that he will have opposition for the nomination within the party.

Kingman's Postal Savings
 Bank.

Yesterday morning the KingDan postoffice opened the savings bank that is to become an adjunct of that institution, and the first depositor was Miss Bessie Thompson, daughter of MT and Mrs. Edward F. Thompson. It is expected that this institution will be used by all small depositors on ac- count of the safety and accessibility of the governmental institution. At the present time the working of the bank will be somewhat hanpered by the lack of room and help. but as soon as the new postoffice building is con- pleted it will be put on a business foot ing, with necessary help to promply care for all deposits.

This week the MINER presents to the people the tickets of all the parties, so far as the filed nominations go- The terms of the primary law re- quires that the ticket be printed in the newspapers, so that the voter may familiarize himself with the names of the candidates, not only those on his own party ballot, but of all who pre- sent themselves Go the suffrage of the people The democratic ballot will, in consequence of the many nomina- tioDs, be very long. while that ot the republicans and socialists barely fill out the ticket for each of the many offices Co be filled. When the ballots are printed for the primary election, each party will have separate ballot, but the same ballot box will be used and the same set of officers will count and make return of all votes cast for each candidate. The result will be declared by the board of supervisors the same as at the general election.

uphoIds Contention
 Limiting Registration.

Judge E. w. Lewis, of the second Judical District, in the matter of the application for au order to restrain the Recorder and the Board of Super visors of Gila county from printing aud distributing a supplimental regis ter of voters registered since the l2th day of September, l9le, handed down an opinion granting the writ, in which he held that under the enabling act and the election ordinance no valid registration of voters could be made subsequent to the date therIn named, which is the date of the closing of the register for the election of delegates to the constitutional convention. held Ou the I2th day of September, 1910. Judge Lewis held that the plain in- tent of the law was to the suffrage to those who were then electors of the territory.
 Tbis ruling will undoubtedly be taken as directory to all the Record CTS of the territory in making up the register of voters. It is understood that fully 1900 new names have been added to the great register of Mari cnaa county this year and were they allowed to vote it would work a great injustice upon the other counties that have observed the law relating to suffrage. The great registers of all the counties should remain as they were last year, or with the addition of the transfers, which would make very little change. If Maricopa was allowed to cast it's l5O0 new votes it, would nominate nen that might be wholly distasteful to other parts of the territory and who could not be nominated if the new voters were eliminated.

CARL HAYDEN,
Democratic Candidate for Congress.


 Among the many candidates pre- sented by the democratic party for the office of Congressman from this dis trict, none are more widely known than Carl Hayden, the fearless sheriff of Maricopa county. Mr. Hayden was born near Mesa, Arizona, in the late seventies and resided in that county all his life, with the exception of the years that he spent in California, where he attended Stanford Uriver- sity.
 He is making DO canvass of the ter ritory before the primary, contenting himself in the belief that the people will select the best man from among the many candidates for the office and if he is lucky enough 10 be the man will then enter the field and make the great fight of the party for election. He has been honored in many ways by the democrats of Maricopa county, and at present is the sheriff of that munic- ipality, having been elected in year when the territory was carried strong ly by republicans and when Maricopa county defeated many democrats for office.
