 BOARD MEETS
Designates Mesa Union High School as Institu- tion Entitled to State
 Aid; Draft of Distribu-
 tion of Funds to Counties

The state board of education held an important session yesterday in the su- preme court chamber of the state house at which the appOrtiOnment of state aid to the several counties according to the present Jaw was figured on and tentative draft made The law re- quires that the full rate per child of school age shall be ninety cents but the GppOrtiOnment is made on a basis Of eighty cents.
 There are many who wanted the payments to be made immediately but the general sentiment is in favor of payments being made after the end of the school year and before the next year bgins, This is calculated to save a lot of time in the main, as well as a whole lot of bookkeeping.
 The balance in the school fund is ap- prOXimately $6,00O and the amount of state school moneys reported by the treasurer amounts to s39,59992
 The draft of the amount subject to chance howayar iS-

year or within $s,425,349 of the total amount he
pays his labor.
GAS 63,969 workmen get $37,288,148 year.
the average is $582.75 year, or $11.21 a week.
The employers get protection equal to 1886 per
week each. So if we ignore the matter of freight
the foreign workman would get only $3.50 a
week if the present tariff only compensates for
the difference between the cost OF labor here and
abroad.
"But if consider the matter of freights the
foreign manufacturer must pay to get his goods
into this country and add to it the duty we will
find that the foreign manufacturer OF glass will
have to pay in freights and duty before he gets
his goods into this country as much as the entire
labor cost of the glass manufactured here.
''The glass industry pays to labor about the
highest percentage of the value of the product
that is paid by any protected industry. Taking
the industries Of the country a whole they
enjoy a protection of about "A per cent Of the
value Of the foreign product or about 80 per
cent of the value of their product, but they
pay less than 20 per cent Of the value of their
product to labor. The tariff gives them enough
to pay the entire labor cost CT goods and then
pay half Of it over again.
1.-THE glass manufacturers are not as bad as the
average, but they not liberal enough with
their labor to Justify their workmen in volun-
tarlly appearing before the committee and asking
it to tax the people to raise money for their
employers. Our old friend, the laboring man,
who has appeared in this and will doubtless
appear in others is probably not working for his
health. 1T is safe to assume that he is lobbyist,
is we'll paid for his work and does it because he
mittee know him and his motives and will give
his suggestions the consideration that would be
accorded to the unsupported statements of any
other lobbyist"

The Parcels Post Badly Mangled

T. AN anyone explain why you, acting
~ through your representative in Congress,
denied yourself the benefit of sending books
and receiving them, under the reduced rates
of the Parcels Post?
What made you do that, Mr.. People?
. This is the day of cheap literature.
Almost anyone, who will deny himself
plug of tobacco, or a few cigars, can buy
books
The express charges on the books are often
equivalent to the cost of the books.
It frequently happens that the cost of trans
portation exceeds the cost of the book.
Now, when the Parcels Post was up, you
had splendid opportunity to free yourself
from express company extOrtiOn
Why didn't you do it, Mr.. People?
You gave yourself the benefit of sending
and receiving almost everything through the
Parcels Post, thereby saving millions of dol
airs, which otherwise the express companies
would have pocketed, but you made an eXcep-
ton of books.
That exception will cost you millions of
dollars.
Why did you throw away the splendid
opportunity to enable many poor man, poor
woman, poor boy and poor girl, to get the
literature which excessive express rates holds
out of their reach.
[ am surprised at you, Mr.. People.
Through your representative you voted in
favor of the express companies against your
self and your family.
Please tell me why you did it.
If you are unable to comply with this
request, please ask your representative for the
explanation.

The Liquor Question lis Again
Troubling Smith, OF The
Atlanta Journal.

E-Oh some years. the gOOQ people VINO nave
been endeavoring to put the barrooms
out Of business, have urged Congress to pre-
vent "wet" States from shipping liquors into
"dry" States where such liquors are evil
IDENTIFY intended to be offered for sale, in
defiance of prohibition laws.
Thus far, the Whiskey Trust and the
Liquor Dealers Association have succeeded
in preventing the passage of the bill
Those Congressman who serve the Whlskey
interests have been adroit enough to keep the
bill from coming to a vote; they are afraid to
go on record against it, yet they must retain
the support of the whiskey interests by
obstructing the passage Of any such law.
This petty game of hide and seek is still
going on.
From the Congressional Record of Janu-
airy II, 1913, we learn that unanimous con-
sent was asked and given that the bill In
question, known as the Kenyon Bill, should
be submitted to a vote in the Senate OH Jan
uary 20, 1913
The Mormon Senator, Reed Smoot, claim
ed that he had intended to object to this
unanimous consent, but could not obtain
recognition from the Chair
The Mormon Senator from Georgia,
Smith, eagerly rallied to the support of the
Mormon Senator from Utah
These two Senators, backed by such other
Senators as Lodge, Root, Bradley, Crane,
OGorman, Simmons, and Gum Shoe Stone,
moved that the question of unanimous con-
sent be submitted to vote.
Forty Senators voted against the unanim-
Gus consent.
Fifty-four Senators either voted in favor
of the unanimous consent, or lodged the
vote.
Thus minority of the Senate overthrow
the record and displaced the Temperance
Bill.
In the course of his opposition to vote
on the bill, Senator Smith, of Georgia, stated
that he was in favor of it.
That's just like Smith
He holds the support of the whiskey peo-
pie by preventing vote on the Temperance
Bill.
He holds the support of the Temperance
people, by saying he intends to vote for the
bill.
For many years Smith has been playing
this double game, and he has played it with
eminent success.
BY subsequent unanimous consent, it was
agreed that the Temperance Bill should
come to a vote on February 20, 1918.
Let us wait and see what Smith and other
liquor tools will do on THAT day.

ly Aired in January.

According to present plans, the
state railroad commission will hold
2 very important hearing in Grand

uuestion-said by several officials to
be the most important issue ever
brought before the commission-will
be considered. It Was the complaint
Of Grand Forks shippers that brought
on the express rate investigation.
Prior to the meeting in this city,
the commission will meet at Fargo
30 consider the excess baggage rate
question. Teh hearings probably will
be held during the week Of January
8 to 10. The exact date Of both ses-
sions soon will be fixed.
Attending Chicago Meeting.
President Stutsman and the COM
missions rate expert are now in Chi
oago. attending a conference between
the express company managers and
committee Of the National Associa-
zion Of Railroad Commissioners. The
object Of the conference is t oattempt

Dakota Seeks State Control.
According to word. received from
Chicago today, however. there is no
hope of taking such action. North
Dakota, the report says, is strongly i'll
favor of individual state control.
Many of the states. after long fights.
have succeeded in getting low rates.
pnd they are not in favor Of surren-
dering their advantage, 1t is said.
Consequently, the meeting in Grand
Forks will be unusually important.
The North Dakota commission last
year held a number of hearings on
the same question at various places
en the state, but, in view of the fact
that the proposition already was be-
bore the interstate commerce commits
non, the matter was delayed until the
hitter body's rates were promulgated.
Rates Are Held Up.
These rates have been announced.
Ind were to have gone into fleet on
October u.s. but, owing ito the~vast
amount Of work thrust upon the ex-
press companies in preparing tariffs
based on the national rates. the date
has been postponed several. times.
The rates probably will not be effec-
tive for several weeks.
The North Dakota commission has
had its rate expert at work on this
question for some time, and, 1t is ex-
Dected, that he will be ready to re-
sort at the meeting in this city. If
Do. the commission undoubtedly will
lake definite action IN the question.

What he did say to her in his
amazed surprise neither of them ever
remembered. When they parted it
was with the knowledge that each
had found a friend.
Gustav Spohr had expressed his
gratitude so delicately. SO gracefully.
that Elsie parted from him with n
doubt as to the wisdom of her inn
pulsive action.
He had told her gently that he
treasured her kindness above every.
thing that had eve happened to him,
and that the return Of his violin
would enable him to resume his posi-
ton with the theater orchestra, Of
which he had onc been s%oloist; with
the renewal of his health he would
not only regain that position. but lat.
