acquiesce in the work being done
by their school board when they
do not take enough interest tc
turn out at the regular and spec
ial school meetings and endorse
such policies as they feel they
want. And this has been the
habit too much of late years.
In contrast to this, the meet
ing on Saturday was more what
it should be at all times. The
turnout was good and the interest
displayed was of the proper sort.
And when it came to voting a
sufficient tax to keep up the
school, it was unanimous.
People, the school is yours;
become interested in it and know
that you are getting all that your
money will bring in efficiency of
teaching force, and understand
that what you are putting into
this institution is being judicious-
ly and economically handled. By
attending all meetings Of the dis
trict you are enabled to keep in
line with what is being done, and
there need be no misstatement
of facts.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES:
THURSDAY. December A. 1918
THE SCHOOL LEVY.

AS will be noted from the ac-
count elsewhere in this issue OF
the special school meeting on
Saturday Afternoon, the taxpay-
ers of the district have voted a
ten mill tax for the maintenance
of the school for the coming year.
Of this levy, six-tenths of mill
will provide for sinking fund of
the district.
The bonded Indebtedness of
School District No. One at the
present is s48,000.00. $8000. 90
of these bonds is on account of
the old school building, and these
have been running for about six
years. They are redeemable
after ten years but may run
twenty years at the option of the
district. There is in the sinking
fund to meet the maturity Of
these bonds about $4,000 at the
present time, and at the rate this
fund is increasing, these old
bonds should be retired at the
end of ten years from the date of
their issue. The interest on
these bonds is 1920 per year.
The late bond issue, out of
which the new school building
was constructed, amounts to
$40, 100000 and runs for twenty
years from July End, 1912. It
will not be necessary to begin
proyideing a sinking fund for
these bonds until the old bonds
are retired. To pay interest on
the new bond issue, $4,000 per
year is required.
These matters have all been
made public heretofore but peo-
pie forget as time goes on, and
many peculiar statements are
heard and put forth us facts,
which do not conform to the ac-
tual facts at all.
At the present time the district
ID having W pay OuJ III OdldIl6o
to teachers, 1890 per month, and
for janitor, $85 per month, MAX
ink total of 1915 per month for
nine months of the year. In
cidentals will bring this up to
about S1050 per month during the
school year, while the salary of
the janitor continues the year
around.
Now it is not the intention of
this paper to offer any criticism,
particularly, upon the policy that
has been pursued by the school
board for we believe that their
actions all the time have been for
the very best interests of the
school. They have made some
mistakes, no doubt, as all human
beings do but in the main they
have succeeded well, and are
gradually bringing the school up
to a high standard. Our con
tention is that the taxpayers of
the district have been largely at
fault for the lack of interest
taken heretofore in the affairs of |
the district. The people have no
right to sit back and quietly

Valuation Bill Passed

Washington, March 13.-The bill
for the physical valuation of rail
roads as basis of rate regulations
has been signed by the President and
is now a law. This bill is of large
Importance, not only to the public,
but also to the railroad organizations.
1t is a well known fact that the sys-
tenn now in voge Of financing railroad
corporations results very largely in
the overcapitalization of these roads,
and thus places an obstruction in the
way of the employees securing ade-
quate wage scales on account of the
difficulty of arriving at an equitable
basis as to the value of railroad prop
critics. With the financial operations
brought to light of day, the manage
ment of the various railroads will be
unable to incorporate the water now
contained in the stock as an avail.
able asset upon which to base wage
scales.

No Constabulary Bill
If Legislature Meets!

There will be no Constabulary Bill
enacted by the probable session of
the. West Virginia legislature if the
labor unions of the state can prevent
it. This was made certain by the &C
ton Of the Ohio Valley Trades and
Labor Assembly Sunday, when it was
unanimously decided to protest to
Governor H. D. Hatfield against in
Guiding the constabulary bill in any
call for special session, and to re-
quest all locals of the state to also
send protests.
A eonstabulary bill is sought by the
mine owners of the state, who hope,
by maintaining an armed guard for
their properties at the expense of the
people. to save the expense of their
privately employed thugs, and at the
same time overawe the miners and
prevent them from organizing into
unions for their own protection. Penn
sylvania has such law now, and
the Pennsylvania "Cossacks" are
known wherever misery abounds.
It is feared that this bill will be
included by the governor in a call for
special session, as a state wide
strike of the coal miners of West Vir-
ginia is anticipated soon. and the coal
barons of the state are bringing every
pressure to bear upon the governor
to help them pass such law in time
to use state force to subdue the
strikers.

Assembly R endorses
! Pro posed Charter

For the second time the Ohio Val
ley Trades and Labor Assembly went
on record faVorfng the proposed char
ter which will be voted upon Manch
2. A committee was appointed to
visit affiliated local unions and ex-
plain the charter to the members. The
action was unanimous.
The matter came up in the report
OF Chairman A. v. Fisher of the legis-
lative committee, discussion result
ing in which Delegates Corcoran,
Frohme, Hilton. Weekley and Presi-
dent LaF1am took part. Every speak
er favored the charter. Not one voice
was raised against it. The vote was
upon motion to instruct the legis-
lative committee to give publicity to
the views of Labor on the PROPOSE
ton, and it stood s49 to /, the lone
opponent, L. f. Sprouse, stating that
he favored the charter, but that his
local, Firemen No. q, would not IA
vor Labor men hobnobbing with C. H.
Watkins and George Lutz. On a later
motion, straight endorsement of the
charter, he voted favorably and the
endorsement was thus carried unani-
mously.
Upon motion President LaFlam
then appointed the charter commit
tee as special committee to visit
the affiliated locals and explain the
provisions of the new charter to
them.
