Library Notes 7-s Grade.

At the beginning of the term OF
school the library was found to be in
very bad condition. The library case
was very small and the books were in
confused mass, being without numbers
or any other means of identification.
The small book case was replaced by a
larger one and the books were arrang-
ed and numbered by pupils from both
grades, after which Maud Suhr was
lected librarian.
The plan of checking out books was
decided upon by the vote of the pupils.
One fourth of the proceeds realized
from the pie supper in October was in
vested in books for our room.
The library record shows an addition
of 3S new and up-to date books, a part
of which was presented by Prof. Richey
An Eighth Grade Pupil.

Councilman Clayton Presents Argu-
mentS for Consolidation.

H. V. Clayton, member of the city
council of Oakland, has written an eX-
haustive and detailed article for the
State Journal concerning Oakland tax
Ievies. Oakland voters decide at a
special election tomorrow whether or
not they will become a part of Topeka
Mr.. Clayton has answered the argu-
ment that, although last year the
Oakland tax levy was one mill higher
than Topeka's, such will not be the
case in the future. Mr.. Clayton de-
clares that the school levy alone must
be nine and one-half mills in 1913 in
order to clear up outstanding indebt-
edness and meet current costs of at
least $4,000. Mr.. Clayton says in his
letter:
Zone of the arguments used by the
Oakland Home Guards against the
consolidation of Oakland with Topeka
is taht although the Oakland tax levy
for the year 1912 was one mill higher
than was Topeka's tax levy, such will
not be the case in future.
Let us see whether or not there is
anything substantial to that argument.
In the first place, what is the present
bonded indebtedness of the Oakland
school district? About July 1, 1911,
there were issued by that district
$4,000 worth of fifteen year 5 per
cent. bonds in denominations of $500
each. In 1911 and again in 1912 the
county commissioners made one mill
levy on the Oakland school district to
pay the interest OH SAID OOLuS IOi the
years ending July 1, 1912, and July /,
1913, and left small balance each
year to go into a sinking fund eventu-
ally used in paying off the majority
of said bonds when they become due
in 1926. The assessed valuation of the
property in the Oakland school dis
trict for the two years past has been
slightly over one million dollars each
year-several thousand dollars less in
1912 than in 1911. A one mill levy
on an assessed valuation of one mill
lion dollars will only bring in $1,000
if all taxes are paid. So from the two
years levies, that have SO far been
made toward the payment of interest
and principal on the Oakland school
bonds, the Oakland school district
including the yet unpaid balance of
the 1912 tax levy which will be most
1y paid next July-will only have re-
ceived approximately $4,000 all told.
The interest on $4,000 worth of
bonds at 5 per cent. a year amounts
to $500 per year. or $1,000 for the two
years Subtract the $1,000 interest
payment-which must be paid each
year as it becomes due-from the ST.
coo received and you will have left
the ma gnificent sum of $500 to be used
toward paying off $4,000 worth of
bonds. That means that only enough
money was raised during the two
years to pay off the current interest.
and have enough left to pay one lone
bond of $500 and have $500 left to-
ward paying off another bond out of
like the county commissioners will
have to raise the Oakland school bond
levy about one-half mill if those bonds
are all to be paid off when due. 1t
may mean another half mill addi-
tional on the 1913 total levy. How
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1913-01-24

does that sound to you?
What were the conditions of the
Oakland school district finances on jan
uary 1, 1s13-outside the bond matters?
Well, the facts are they had about So,
goo worth of school district warrants
outstanding, most of which were
stamped not paid for want of funds
and drawing interest at a rate of six
per cent per year, amounting to $3.50.
Now. according to the published state
ments of the present clerk of the Oak
land school district. it costs about $3.50.
per school month to run the nine grades
in the Oakland schools, or $500 for
school year of nine months. Add the
sum of $5.000-which amount one of the
high privates of the Home Guards says
was the entire outstanding general in
debtedness of the Oakland school dis
trict on July I, 1912, and also add at
least $500 for interest on those out
standing warrants, and you have
total of 81, 500 for the total liabilities
of the Oakland school district for the
current school year. Now you know
the Oakland school levy for 1912 was
nine mills and the total assessed valua-
ton approximately one million dollars.
That means about $1,000 income from
that source for the current school year.
Add to that amount about 500 which
the district may expect to receive from
the state and county school funds, and
you have a total income for the Oak
land school of $500 against total
liabilities for the year of about $11, 800.
Looks somewhat like a deficit of about
81, 800 to be paid out of the 1918 levy
with deficit of some 81. 800 and
costs of at least $500 to run the school
for a school year, and about 500 in
terest to pay on the deficit, the 1913
Oakland school levy will have to be
about nine and one-haIf mills in order
to clear up all outstanding indebted

HE MAKES GUARDS RUN
Prison Men Given Hard Test by Major
Leonard.

Leavenworth. Kan. Jan. 24.-Major
Henry Leonard, Attorney General
Wickersham's personal investigator of
the federal prison, who has been here
two weeks made it apparent today
that he intended to investigate all
guards and other employees as well
as all departments. Every guard was
taken to a cinder path outside the
prison and made to do" 500 yards as
fast as they could run in an effort to
determine their heart action. Many
of the men who have grown old in
service almost collapsed as a result
of the strain, and they are anXiously
awaiting the verdict of the Washing
ton official.
Major Leonard's work now is about
completed. The finishing touches will
be added this week, and he probably
will return to Washington Saturday.
Two stenographers accompanied him
here and the three have been engaged
nightly when all other prison officials

WOMAN BURNS TO DEATH.
Blaze From Clothing Sets Fire TO
House and Orchard.

Salina, Kan, Jan. 24.-While lighting
fire in a gasoline stove last evening
at her home six miles north of Sylvan
Grove, the tank exploded and Mrs.
John Scutt's clothing caught fire, and
she was fatally burned. Mrs. Scutt was
alone at the time and neighbors saw
her run from the kitchen door with her
clothing in blaze. She ran to the
center of the orchard near the house
and fell. where her body was found
later. The fire in her clothing set fire
to the dry grass in the orchard which
started to burn, but was extinguished
before the flames reached the prairie.
The flames in the house were also ex-
tinguished before much damage had
been done
When the neighbors saw the fire a
general telephone call was sent out
along the rural line and farmers rushed
to the rescue from every direction.
