London Standard

The London Standard advises
Japan to go slow in making an issue
of the race question which, if al.
lowed to develop, "would compel
Japan to face the united western
world" England is an ally of Japan
as we'll as a firm friend of the
United States, and the advice of the
Standard, which is based on informa.
.tion obtained from the seats of Eu.
ropean- government, should be
needed by the Mikado and his ad.
visers. But even though a breach
between the United States and Japan
should compel the last named
country "to face the entire western
world" the assistance of European
nations would not be necessary i1
order for us to thrash the yellow.
skinned peril of the orient. This
country is capable of vanquishine
Japan, China and all the othe1
Asiatic nations if necessity should
require such action.

School Brevities.

The total enrolment of pupils in
our public schools for the year just
closed was 664. The number en-
titled to apportionment is $50. The
average daily attendance would have
been quite little higher if it had
not been for the large number of
cases of sickness during the spring
term.
AS a rule the pupils passed the
state examinations with good marks
and larger number of papers have
been sent to the state examiner than
ever before in the history of the
schools.
During the school year several
visitors have assisted in the morning
exercises. Among them we recall
the following: Hon. R. G. Dunn,
County Superintendent Ewing, J. J..

Agreement Reached in Township DISPUTE

Agreement Neached IN Township Dispute
On Saturday representatives from
the townhips of Page, Hayland, Isle
Harbor, Onamia and the town of
Princeton met at the court house to
adjust the dispute between the first
four towns and the town of Prince
ton, involving the tax monies col
lected in the four unorganized towns
in the north end of the county,
which towns were set off from the
town of Princeton and attached to
the others in 1910. The tax money
includes the November, 1912, and
the March, 1913, settlements.
The agreement reached by the
towns involved was that the town OF
Princeton shall receive the sum of
$50 from the unpaid share of each
of the northern townships, the bal
ance of such tax money to be paid
over to the treasurers of these four
towns. This settlement was made
upon the understanding that all
pending lawsuits involving the prop.
osition be dismissed, thus ending
the controversy for all time.

The Omaha Real Estate exchange
has petitioned Mr.. Bryan to oppose
the income tax section Of the Under
wood tariff bill upon the grounds
that the minimum income proposed
to be taxed 81, 000-is too high. 1t
is contended by the real estate men
that millions of dollars in revenue
will be lost by not placing the mini
mum at $4,000 or less. These real
estate men would obviously like to
reduce the minimum so that the
common laborer might be taxed.
The idea is preposterous.
