CUSTOMS OFFICERS
GET MASON'S GOAT
McAdoo and Houston Are Busy,
Now, Trying to Recover
II.

A goat has butted into Uncle Sans
business. and two members Of the Presi-
dents Cabinet are racking their brains
for means of appeasing the scrappy
animal before it gets pugnacious.
1t all happened because the customs
officials at New Orleans refused to issue
certificate of admission to the "cere-
moniar' goat which the members of
Ossian Temple, Mystic Shrine, of st.
Paul. Minn., were bringing back with
them to this country after trip to
Panama. The customs officials at New
Orleans let the Shriners In. but they
put up the bars against the goat.
Secretary McAdoo knew nothing about
it until he received a telegram this
morning from j. E. Pearce, one of the
st. Paul men. who declared that "the
local doctor refuses to issue a certificate
of admission unless authorized by your
department" and who asked Secretary
McAdoo kindly to authorize the local
examiner to deliver the goat" adding
that the general health and condition
OF the goat were excellent
Secretary McAdoo lost no time In
framing q telegram asking the release
OF the goat. The animal was Of Ameri-
can origin and never would he permit
an American goat to be barred out Of a
port. But before he sent the telegram
he found that the Agricultural Depart
ment had something to say about It.
Authorities there had to know that the
animal was free from all diseases that
afnict goats, even II they have reached
the dignity Of 'ceremoniaf' goats, and
are taken along by the Shriners when
they ride their novitiates over the burn
ing sands.
So Secretary McAdoo and Secretary
Houston are on their toes trying to find
some way to release that goat. Mean
while the members Of Ossian Temple
Mystic Shrine. are hung up in New
Orleans. as they refuse to leave until
their assistant in the initiatory work 70
released from the clutches Of the Gus
toms officers.

What right has the legislature
OF Arkansas to say to Russell
vile or any other school district,
''This much and no more can
you spend for educational pur-
poses?" The Russellville dis
trict needs additional funds for
buildings, teachers salaries, etc.,
and while the district has al
ways voted the maximum for
school purposes allowed by the
law, this is proving entirely in
adequate, not only in Russell
vile, but in all the larger towns
and cities where the best schools
are maintained. Why should
the legislature limit the amount
that may be voted in any dis
trict and not limit the mini
mum? A district is not COM
PEELED to vote any school at all
if it chooses, but it is prohibit
ed by law from voting more than
seven mills. We believe the
next legislature will remedy
this handicap by increasing the
maximum to 10 mills, or by re-
moving the limit altogether, and
leaving the district free to
vote any amount Of school tax
they think proper under exist
ing conditions. If this is not
done, districts needing addition
al buildings or confronted with
heavy expense for other pur-
poses, will be through the i'm
provement district plan. This
throws the district at useless
expense in accomplishing what
should be made easy through
our regular school laws.-Rus-
