CHOOL DEBT
NDE
Special Act Of State Legislature
Allows Sc, 900 to be Refunded

By special act of the present
legislature Meade school district
has been given the privilege of
refunding six thousand dollars
OF her school debt. This an
nouncement will be very well
come to the patrons and the tax
payers of the district. Instead
rof having six-thousand dollars of
past due outstanding warrants
drawing six per cent and the
credit of the school impaired, we
will now have, as soon as the
board takes advantage of the act,
bonded Indebtedness at four or
five per cent. The bonds will
be issued for a twenty year pay
ment and they will be taken care
of by a regular sinking fund.
Owing to six or eight thou
sand dollars worth of permanent
improvements. which practically
rebuilt the present school build
ing, the district mas been forced
into debt to such an extent that
her warrants were accepted only
at discount. The refunding
of this debt and the Barnes Law
and with the state aid of seven
hundred aud fifty dollars, ought
to put the school district in good
financial standing. Besides the
assistance from these sources,
there is now move on foot to
add a few nearby sections to the
district. There is every reason
to believe that this will be done,
rs both the residents of the out
lying sections and Meade are in
favor of the plan. The school
meeting in>April will find more
cheerful outlook than has been
in evidence for years.
The refunding' of the debt did
not come without effort The
school board has had plans un-
der way for over year. 1t was
only through their persistant ef-
fort with the valuable assistance
of Mr.. Boehler and Mr.. Jones
that the refund was made pos
sible. Senator Price of this dis
trict put the bill before the leg
islature and sawlt safely through.
You can usually count on Sena-
tor Price when it comes to
progressive school measures.

Only for the prompt work of
neighborhood bucket brigade
organized before the arrival of
the Fire Department, the south.
east part of the city might have
been reduced to ashes, last Sun
day evening. In same manner a
prairie fire started south east of
the city, and with the assistance
OF strong wind blowing from
the same direction, the unwel-
come traveller made rapid prog
ress toward the city. The first
warning OF the approaching dam
ger, was the smell of burning
prairie grass and great clouds of
smoke, and the fire was discover
ed and was within less than
hundred yards OF the residences
OF III. Robinson and VIM. KEN
yon. The Fire Department was
at once called, and since there
was no time to be lost, the en-
tire neighborhood, men women,
and children turned out to fight
fire. With hard work they kept
1t pretty well under control.
When the Department arrived
and the fire was extinguished, it
had burned to within a few feet
Of the Kenyon residence. With
the start it had before being dis
covered, and the wind being so
favorable, it is only the heroic
work of the bucket brigade that
saved that part Of the city.

GOV. HODGES
MESSAGE
Recommends A Commission
Form of Government

| = - AAOuSSS tOudJ oCut d
message to the legislature, which
embodies the recommendation of
a commission form of govern
ment for the state of Kansas.
The governors plan is to abolish
the present legislative system
and install in its stead govern
ment resembling that in vogue
several of the states, cities and
towns.
The governor recommends that
each congressional district shall
be entitled to two representativ-
es and shall be clothed with the
same powers as those now poss-
essed by the legislature.
Following is the governors
message:
ITO the legislature of the
state of Kansas:
"As the Legislative duties of
the legislature of 1913 draw to a
close, / desire to congratulate
the mbers of both branches
on the magnificent work which
they have accomplished. | be-
lieve that | am justified in saving
that you have worked harder
and accomplished more than any
legislature in recent years. AL
most every pledge you made to
the people last year has been full
filled, But am convinced that
this magnificent record is due
rather To- the efficient member
ship of this legislature, than to
the system.
"In common with a large and
growing number of thoughtful
people, am persuaded that the
instrumentalities for Legislation
provided for ,in our state con-
stitution have become antiquited
and inefficient. Our system is
fashioned after the English par
lament with its two houses bas-
ed upon the distinction between
the nobility and the common
people, each house representing
the divers interests of these
classes. No such reason exists
in this state for dual legislat-
i've system and even in England |
at the present time the dual sys-
TEN has been practically aband-
oned and the upper house shorn
of its Importance, and | believe
that we should now concern our
selves in devising system for
legislating, that will give us more
Efficiency and quicker response
to the demands of our economic
ann social conditions and to the
will OF the people.

The worlds champion Red Sox trim

OF wasted opportunities, and President
Farrell OF the Yankees telephoned the
Chicago pilot that Chase was detained
in New York by pressing business en-
gagements.
Consequently Fournier retained his
Job as a first baseman and also was re-
sponsibIe for the White Sox being in
the battle at all. Jacks three-base
smash against the center field fence in
the NTH inning blazed the trail to the
two runs the White Sox scored then
by q. succession OF three hard bumps.
That was all the runs they made all
day, although they had plenty chances.
For lack OF a bunt or the telling punch
in a pinch they missed out everywhere
elsa
Tex Russell was hit no harder by the
home fellows than Ray Collins was by
the visitors and the boots were even,
but Tex lacked some of the control for
which he has been famous and the Red
Sox made better use Of some OF their
opportunities than the other boys
could.
