He said that when he reached the Vol

emerging from the water and the davit

to do, he felt he must try to lower a

"But We were In an awkward position"
said the captain, with great possibility
of my tanning him. A line would have
been useless, No line made would stand

by now the Grosser kurfurst was

desired. having told Captain Inch that

The question of cutting down eX-
strike home pretty forcibly when the
enormous delinquent tax list is con-
sidered. People who cannot pay their
taxes this year under a very light
comparative taxation will be strictly
up against it next year when with the
levy nearly the limit they will be tax
ed on full valuation as against forty
per cent valuation for the past year.
1t will stagger many more who were
able to pay last years taxes In the
face of this the school district budget
calls for more money and more teach
ers and broader scope of work. 1t
would seem to the thoughtful taxpay-
ers that retrenchments can and must
be made until the big SCI 900 floating
Indebtedness is wiped out. Rather
than lose the financial good name of
the school district all of the frills and
so-called new lines of study should
be absolutely wiped off the slate. Let
the schools get down to the basis of
the ordinary school systems until the
resources of the district will warrant
luxuries. The Times believes in the
so-called diversified lines of study.
providing that the resources of the
taxpayers is not drained to meet them.
When they are, it is time to stop, and
that time has come. Domestic science,
manual training, art, music, agricul-
tural training and several others come
under the head Of such luxuries. They
should be cut off until every penny of
the floating indebtedness is paid up.
Ihere should be no mock heroics
about hurting the name of the Twin
Falls schools. If we have been fool
lsh in the past regarding the schools,
then 1t is no reason why we should
continue to be foolish. The Times be-
lieves that at least fifteen thousand
dollars can be cut off from the esti-
mate OF the superintendent for the
coming year. 1t also believes that in
justice to the thousands of struggling
households in the county that it is the
one thing that should be done The
Times will admit that it will be hard
to cut off some things that have been
added to the curriculum, but better
that than bankrupt district or dis
hearted and over-burdened taxpayers.
