CAPTAIN JAS. F. OYSTER.

CAPTAIN JAS. +. OYSTER.
There is no member OF the
Board of Education any more
loyal or fair to the teachers in the
public schools than Captain James
F. Oyster. He has the respect and
confidence of the people, who
know that he has done and is doing
all in his power to advance the pub
lie school system. He doesn't dis
crininate, and neither IS he a man
to draw the color line on any prop
osition. There is not a colored
teacher in the schools who would
say that Captain Oyster is not fair
and just to him, and he has done
everything in his power to give the
teachers their just dues. The I'M
called for reference to him before
the Commissioners last Saturday
is not Endorsed by any citizen in this
city. He believes in doing for the
colored schools as he does for the
white schools, and there is no MEM
Der Of the school board better liked
than he is. The three cOlored
members of the Board of Educa-
tion don't represent the people, and
it will be fully demonstrated in a
few weeks. There is to be a public
meeting held shortly by the repre-
sentative citizens of Washington,
who will ask the judges of the Su-
lpreme Court to appoint colored
Representatives on the Board of Ed
Iucation to represent the people in
deed and III fact.

work that he paid him handsome
sum to spend the summer with him
and manage his press notices and
assist him in general with his many
theatrical duties. We expect great
things from him in the near future,
because he possesses in a great
measure those requisites necessary
for a successful theatrical man-a
rare intelligence pertaining to every
department OF the stage, a determi-
nation to succeed, a love for his
work, a capacity for learning, and
common sense.

TAXATION BLAMED FOR EXODUS

Canada's Official Year Book re-
cords that during the last three years
nearly 400 900 persons, mostly farmers
and their families, have quilted the
United States to settle there. Some
may have sold their lands i'm the
states, others must have abandoned
them in silence, with the sacred aSsO
Citations that surrounded them; and
all must have felt that nothing but
dire necessity had urged them to
such a step.
This sinister movement has been at
tributed to the desire for cheap
lands in Canada. But, as there can
be no advantage i'm abandoning i'm
proved lands for unbroken ones, relin-
gushing what you already own for
what has to be purchased, there must
be another and deeper reason. This
is surely in the ominous Influence of
misgovernment; and the pressure Of
tax system that levieS over 5000 a
year upon the families of the fleeing
emigrants, says the Wall Street Jour
lal
The federal, state and municipal
taxation in the United States has in
creased over two and a quarter times
i'm ten years In some of the states,
and especially those on our frontiers,
the state taxes alone, to say nothing
of the federal and local burdens, have
increased not two and quarter but
three and one-half times during the
same interval.
While something may be advanced
in extenuation of such extravagant
expenditures in the case of new
states, like New Mexico, what shall
be said of we'll settled ones like Con-
necticut, Maryland, New Hampshire
and Vermont? Who is spending this
money and what is it spent for What
excuse can the virtually self-elected
administrators of these states
offer for demanding from their people
three and one-haf times as much
tribute today as was found to be
sufficient ten years ago? What shall
be said of the monstrous taxation in
Minnesota, Dakota and the other bor-
der states?
Does it not seem that our people,
the best of our people, are fleeing
ter, rather than deserving their own
improved lands and homes, to enter
Ghe wilderness and begin life over
again.

RESTORE LAND TO ENTRY.

More than SO, 900 acres of land ly-
ing along the Little Colorado river,
in Coconino and Navajo counties, will
be thrown open to settlement shortly.
several years ago for reclamation pur'
poses.
Some time ago the reclamation ser
vice gave UP all idea of an irrigation
project anywhere along the Little Col
orado. There are several dam sites,
but no great amount of water can be
impounded. There are so many other
more favorable sections for reclama-
lion work that it was decided to re-
open the land that had been with
drawn.
The officials of the reclamation ser
vice have been requested to look over
their maps, plats and reports and des.
ignate all dam sites, power sites and
reservoir sites that should be re-
tanned by the government. Such sites
are not to be restored to entry, but
will be reserved in conformity with
the governments conservation policy
Land attorneys state that there lis
widespread demand for land in the
area withdrawn from entry. 1t is
, largely through the efforts of attor-
neyS and intending settlers that steps
have been taken to reopen the land
to settlement.
