The School Treasurer.
[Carlisle Optimist.l

The house committee on schoo!s mas
reported for passage a bill for abolish
ing the office of school treasurer. SIM
liar pills were introduced in the mir
tt-tflird and Thirty fourth general
assemblies, but the organized hostiiilF
of city and town treasurers ana coun
tr, banks defeated them. The hercest
fight occurred two years ago. when the
treasurers and banks under the lead
ership Of Treasurer Hogan OF Des
Moines, thoroughly organized them
selves for a systematic fight. Many
letters were received by the members
o. :he general assembly typewriter On
bank stationery and signed by farm
ers. showing that such banks made use
OF their customers to influence legsia-
ton. We hope majority Of the pres
ent general assembly will not be hood
winked the same way.
It was shown in those contests that
many thousands Of dollars would be
saved in salaries and in interest the
school funds would bring. There is
another source Of saving. AS the courts
have now juggled the law, there is no
security for any school funds deposited
in banks unless the treasurer has re-

Practical Conservation.

The Connecticut dam bill. in giving
permission TO a private corporation TO
build a dam for water power purposes,
requires that the company pay the
United states reasonable compen-
sation for the privilege.
This is the principle Of conservation
properly applied.
Potential power is developed; in
dus,rv is encouraged: navigation is
aided: revenue is created for the gov
eminent.
new source Of wealth is brought
into being and fairly distributed.
This measure is far in advance o!
the previous permissive legislation
which only required private companies
to provide locks so that ships coulo
pass around their dams. and Is entlreis
6iffeceut from other legislation where
by. the government put in improve
meats aud gave their money earnihs
facilities to private individuals or cor
norations who stood in with the leao-
ers Of congress
This bill will be bitterly opposed nS

Here then is a representative loss in

A light on the Temperance workers

thrown by the recent demand for the
resignation of f. s. Dunshee. director

charged that Dunshee was attorney tor

he was attorney for the liquor dealers
and resigned. Now how many other

Now. while we are establishing the

The new game warden seems to be
man of ideas and also an official who
is inclined to give the hunters and the
fishermen some return fo- the money
they put into the public till. Very
wisely. he proposes to give much at
tention TO the propagation and protec-
ticn Of the native quail And he pro-
poses to establish game farms and
games preserves in different sections OF
the state. Perhaps the ideal plan would
ne to have a game preserve in every
county Of the state. The overflow
from that preserve would do much
toward restocking that particular coun-
ty The new man also has excellent
ideas about fish. and perhaps he Will
bring about some tangible results.
