At The High School.

The students of the civics class are studying the workings of our government by working out the different departments. Twice a week since the beginning of the class it has resolved it's self into lawmaking body modelled after our Congress and State Legisla- lures, The purpose is to apply the text work and to let the pu pil know how by doing. Current Legislation is also kept up with and discussed. In fact this branch of work is reaching thru out the school.
 Following is a record of the work done:
 The Senate of the U. $. in ses- sion March 1, 1913. Bill No. l.
 A bill providing for an income tax on the following conditions:
 All incomes over 5000 and un- der S20, ,O0O to be taxed at the rate of l per cent; incomes over $20,000 and under S250,000 to be taxed at the rate of 1-2 per cent; and all incomes over $250,00O to be taxed two per cent.
 Senator Cummins from Texas introduced the bill and when the committee reported favorably on it, there was very little discus sion. It was passed 10 to 8.
 Some suffrage bills were brought forward but it was de. cided that under the Constitu- toin this would have to be left to the State Legislatures.
 About twenty five boys of the High School turned out for base ball practice Monday afternoon and elected as officials: Ben Wal Ter Jr., coach; Blake Scott, man. ager; Shell Marsh, captain.
 The prospects for good team are favorable and the boys wish the hearty cooperation of both Board and parents.
