Sl.95 APPORTI, NEb
TO EACH CHILD
PER CAPITA DECREASED
COUNTY RECEIVES
NEARLY $4,000 FROM THIS
SOURCE.

Little Rock, Sept. 1.-The State
Board of Education made the annual
apportionment of schools funds to the
various counties. The total amount
apportioned is $1,254 $3.50.
Amount apportioned to each child,
$1.95.
Total enumeration for 1913, 617 1861
Increase in school population over
1912, 14,139.
The per capita apportionment for
this year is lessened on account of the
failure to receive the returns from ST.
Francis county; the fact that the
amount from antitrust suits is $15,-
900 less, and there is no money from
the fertilizer fund, this fund having
been diverted from the common school
fund by act of the last legislature.
This last item amounted to $S,06S.27
in 1912. Again this lessened amount
is apportioned among 14.139 more
children than last year.
Faulkner county, with 1924 per-
sons of school age, will receive $19,-
80 from the apportionment.

HON. EDWARD I. TAYLOR.
CONTINUED from Page ~

Some of them have been introduce
ed before. but in the rush of business
have been pigeon-holed for later con,
sideration. Mr.. Taylor, however. is
tireless and perseyering in his work
for his constituents.
The municipal coal mine bill. the
credit for which was attempted to be
taken by Secretary Fisher and the
Taft administration last year, has
been reintroduced. 1t will unques-
tionably go through either at the ex-
ira session or at the next regular
term. 1t proposed TO deed the city of
Grand Junction 100 acres of coal
land on the Book Cliffs to be used
for municipal mine. The work
must be prosecuted so that in two
years after the approval of the act
workable vein of coal is developed.
Congressman Taylor, through the
Chamber of Commerce. has Interested
himself in the matter of securing rail-
way mail service on the Colorado
Midland, and in letter received to-
day he quotes the second assistant
postmaster general as saying that
arrangements are now being made
looking toward the establish of
railway mail service on Colorado Mid
land trains 04 and 105 out of Grand
Junction" Mr.. Taylor's assistance
was asked by the local Chamber of
Commerce. and he Immediately inter
ested himself in the matter to the eX-
tent that there is now no question but
that the announcement of the new
service will be made within the next
80 days.
Another important bill by Mr. Tay-
lor is for the establishment of an
agricultural experiment station in
either Mesa. Delta, Garfield or Mont
rose counties. An appropriation of
100000 is asked for this station,
which it is hoped will be one of the
most important stations in the entire
west.
While Mr.. Taylor has given practi-
cally all of his apportionment to the
Grand junction federal building and
the remainder must come from some
other congressional representative,
Mr.. Taylor appreciates the fact that
the building should be larger than is
now planned in order to accommodate
offices for other government stations
here. He has therefore introduced
bill to increase the cost limit from
100000 to $4,000 This measure,
1t seems likely, will be passed at tne
extra session.
A measure of national importance
to potato growers and which will be
hailed with delight all over western
Colorado is the Taylor house bill to
authorize the expenditure of S25, 900
Immediately through the department
of agriculture to combat the wart and
black scab diseases of potatoes. An
experiment station will probably be
established on the eastern slope to
carry on this work possibly in CON
junction with the state agricultural
college and the United States expert
ment station at FIT. Collins.

SAYS Congressman.
Sentinel Special Service.


Washington, May 2.-Representa-
tive Taylor introduced a bill today ex-
tending the time in which settlers un-
der national reclamation projects
shall reimburse the government from
10 to 80 years. His bill provides that
during this period there shall be no
interest payments.
The government has misled the
settlers as to the price they shall be
called upon to pay for watering their
lands said Taylor today. Under
the promise that the water charge
would not exceed S25 an acre large
numbers of settlers took lands.
To-day the cost of constructing has
mounted so high that s75 an acre
will not cover the settlers charge. II
is simply impossible for farmer TO
meet these demands in 10 years. Ac-
cordingly | have prepared TO increase
the payment period to 80 years"
Representative Taylor today also
introduced a bill providing for the
destruction OF predatory wild ami
mails on the forest reserves in Col
orado and on the lands adjacent
thereto.
Taylor introduced bill to expedite
hearings in contested or probated fl
nal proofs in land cases. The meas
ure orders that all contests by the
government shall be taken up within
60 days.
