COST OF LIVING IN HOLLAND.

Tobacco is scarcely a luxury in Holland, with its free trade and large importations from its own colonies. One cent will buy cigar superior to that which sells for a nickel in the United States, while five cents will purchase a box of 50 cigarettes six cents will furnish the same with gold mouthpieces.
 The standard English lunch of bread and cheese, purchased at a coffee house, costs two cents, and one cent more washes it down with a large glass of buttermilk. The high cost of living does not furnish

FACTS CONCERNING
 COMMON SCHOOL FUND

est in the grounds, buildings and equipment given over to the common school education, is the deduction from the most recent state school statistics. The fig lures covering the school-year ending June 30, 1911, have been compiled by the United States Bureau of Education with the CO operation of George B. Cook, State Superintendent of Public Schools of Arkansas, and will be published by the Government in report form in few weeks.
 Thesextent of the mutual part nership..which the population of Arkansas has in its public school system is reached in this way: The Census of 1910 is authority for placing the population of the state atss 1,574,449 inhabitants, while the statistics compiled by the Bureau of Education show that the 6.306 public school, houses in the state are valued, with the ground, at $6,342, ,391. Add the cost of school.equipment which comes to 1,C3O, ,465, divide by the total poL ulation, and the Arkansan's average investment in the common school plant of his state is determined.
 To maintain this great con- mon school system, Arkansas has state school fund of $1 134, 800 from which last year she de- rived an income of $57, ,000, which three mill general property tax and receipts from other sources swelled further to the sum of $1 ,301, ASA. In addition seven mill maximum levy by district and municipal taxation realized S2,178,856 more, so that all told the state received for the educa tion of her youngest citizens a grand total of $3,676,676. Of this amount the greatest part, S2,- 969, ,177, went to pay teachers salaries appears more than a quarter of million dollars was spent in new equipment, and tidy balance of $1, IA, 367 was carried forward into next year
 While in the aggregate the sum devoted to the payment of teachers salaries appears to be large, when it is divided among the 9,S34 educators in the com mon schools of the state, it is found that that the average sal ary received amounts to but $301.63, in earning which each | teacher had to hold on an average | of IA days.
 The pupils who received in- structions numbered 404, 760, | out of total population of school age amounting to 585, 749. These figures seem to indicate that some 60,000 children in Arkan- sas are not receiving any school ing, but it is explained by the Bureau of Education that for the purposes of the statistics the population of school age" in cludes everyone between 6 and | 21, with the result that many many wage earners and married | women who have long since left school are counted in. As mat ter of fact, it is noted by the bu reau, the Arkansas Legislature of 1911 brought sixteen addition al counties under the provisions of the Compulsory School At tendance Law

 The American Society Of Agricul tural Engineers is composed Of edu- cators .n agricultural engineering lines and of representatives of com mercial interests. It fayors such a bureau so that it can more efficiently serve the American farmer as he awakens to the importance of rural engineering problems. The farmer is demanding solution of these problems. for he realizes that today they arc among his chief barriers to a more economic production.
 This society believes that there should be an effort on the part of the department of agriculture to organ ize iinvestigatIon, secure funds flor such work. and to disseminate such information as the farmer needs. IL suggests a bureau of agricultural ell gineering. with various divisions to treat the subject of farm power. farm field machinery and farm buildings and equipment
 The importance Of this work is em phasized by the figures of the Cen sus bureau which show that the farm CT is feeding seventy-six milhOns oi people, that inc has nearly twelve hundred and sizty-two millions Of dol lars invested in farm machinery and six and a quarter billions of dollars invisted in farm build.ngs.

NOT FOR SAN DIEGO

The Democrat does not for a moment be- lieye that our legislature will even consider San Diego in the light or a Panama Exposition. Arizona is not much on patronizing side shows when We have a real one in sight, and # there is any appropriation made 1t will. as a matter of common sense, be made for San Francisco, as that is tue city that congress voted as the exposition city.

 coASTWiSE TRAFFIC.
(st. Louis RepuLhc.)

One of the tender points in the Pan ana Canal question is the new sit uation which the canal will create under the existing law, in the coast wise traffic
 Under present conditions ocean traf. hc between New York and San Fran, cisco via Cape Horn or the Strait of Magellan is noC regarded as coasL wise traffic, for the sufficient reason that 1t is not. While the route indi- cated is the shortest possible between two parts of continental United States,
 the voyage cannot be made by a steam vessel without stopping at a foreign port for coal. Vessels plying between the east and west coasts oi the United States engage in interna. tonal trade, for all that their termina, DOTS are both within the United States.
 With the opening of the Panama Canal all this will be changed. Steam CTS of fIfteen-knot speed will be able to make San Francisco on about the sixteenth day from New York. The coastwise fleet will cease to be di. vlded in two; ships. of the Atlantic and Pacific will range either coast at will.
 At present American and Canadian ships are on an equality in trading between the east and west coasts or North America. But when the cana, opens, the trade, so far as American ports are concerned. will cease to be international and become coastwise. The Canadian ship will pay toll to pass through the canal, while tho American coastwise vessel will pass free. Water carriage between New York and Seattle will be cheaper than between Quebec and Vancouver COMMENT

 .First-Mr. Bryas does not advo' cate the retirement Of outstanding na- ,ionsl bank currency but he opposes any enlargement of the privileges nov enjoyed by national banks and he be ueve that such emergency eur rency as may be necessary should be issued by the government and not by the banks.
