aside from the mechanical bene-
fits OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES of fun
damental importance-we have
the advantage of, the intimate
supervision Of an expert and
specially qualified teacher over
the several rooms which consti-
tute the consolidated school.
Teachers better adapted to the
primary rooms than to the higher
grades may be assigned to these
rooms; those who are specialists,
so to speak, in teaching gram
mar grades may be used where
their qualifications assure maxi
mum efficiency, namely in the
grammar grades, while those
teachers whose success is most
marked in the high school classes
and whose education specially
fits them for teaching the more
advanced pupils, may be secured
for the high school department.
For it is true that by CONSOLE
dalton, and only by such means,
almost every rural school may
have it's high school, perhaps not
the first year or so before the
system becomes thoroughly in
stalled and firmly situated fl
nancially, but certainly much
sooner than could be expected
without consolidation. The new
educational bill recently passed
in the Montana legislature helps
greatly to assure this condition
by providing for the distribution
of county high school moneys
among such accredited high
schools. To so dignity our rural
schools and make them of fullest
possible practical service, to the
community is the duty and the
privilege of the progressive citi-
zens of the country.
We will make the rural school
a living, powerful force in the
community's life. We will en-
large it's scope, enrich it's curri-
culum, raise it's ideals, develop
it's potentialities and make it the
highest expression of the COM
munity will; we will make its
welfare identical with the well
fare of all. We would wish it 10
be the servant and saviour of the
state and the highest exponent
of individual self expression.
But to materialize these ideals
we must have the machinery of
consolidation of small schools.

NINE MONTHS WORK.
The new Tariff Law, passed four years
after President Taft signed the existing
Payne-Aldrich Law, is the result OF more
than nine months of work in Congress.
Hearing were started January 9 by the
House Ways and Means Committee.
Chairman Underwood introduced the
Tariff Bill April Z, Immediately after
President Wilson had convened the new
Congress. It passed the House May s
and the Senate September 9.
In the opinion of its makers, the
Democratic leaders Of Congress, the
most important features OF the new tariff
are:
A reduction OF nearly one-half in
the average tariff on foodstuffs and farm
products.
The placing Of raw wool on the free
list, and reduction OF nearly two-
thirds in the tariff ON wooden clothing,
especially OF the cheaper grades.
A reduction Of one-third (average) on
cotton clothing
Reduction OF the sugar tariff and its
ultimate abolishment in 1916.
A reduction of one-third (ayerage) in
the tariff on earthenware and glassware.
Adjustment fall tariff on meat, fish,
dairy products -four, potatoes, coal,
iron ore, lumber and many classes of
farm and Office machinery.

Department will plunge at once into the
task of collecting the nations revenue
on new basis, and with hundreds Of
new classi6cations and new provisions
of law to complicate their activities.
The Federal Government has been
spending nearly billion dollars a year
and the new tariff law will raise less
than one.third OF that sum. Experts
in Congress predict that the rates will
raise $249, 900, 900 year, and that the
income tax will raise 1922, 900, 900. The
remainder OF the Governments great
income is made up principally Of in
ternal revenue taxes and postal receipts.
The income tax probably will bring
the new tariff law most forcibly to the
attention of citizens. President Wilson
and Democratic leaders in Congress be-
lieve, however, that the reduction Of
duties on clothing, foodstuffs and other
necessaries of life, and the complete
removal Of the duty from many like
articles, will eventually bring reduc-
ton in the cost OF living without ma
terially affecting business prosperity.
SUMMARY OF NEW LAW.
A brief summary OF the new tariff
law as prepared for the Senate follows;
Average percentage Of tariff rates as
compared to the value Of all imported
merchandise. Old law, 81 per cent. !;
new law, 27 per cent.
Value of annual imports added to the
free list, $747, 900, 900.
Estimated revenue from all import
rates: Old law, $3o5, 900, 900; new law,
$249, 900, 900.
Estimated revenues from corporation
and income taxes: Old law, sS7 ,0o0,-
600; new law, s122, ,000,0 900.
Altogether consumers in the United
States probably will receive from abroad
free OF all tariff, more than 81 ,000, 900,
600 worth Of merchandise during the
next year. During 1912 the amount Of
free imports was more than $3.50,
100000. and when the tariff is entirely
removed from wool. sugar, iron ore and
cheap iron and other important items,
the total is expected TO increase notably.

UNDERWOOD SIMMONS TARIFF BECOMES LAW

Washington, Oct. 3.-With solemn
pride the President signed the Tariff Bill
tonight, and the leaders Of the Demo-
Gratis watched him pin the future OF the
party upon his signature. For accord
ing to the success of the measure the
Democratic party, as at present led and
constituted, will stand or fall, and those
in the little room knew it. II the tariff
law realizes the hopes of its creators the
party's domination will endure; and il
those hopes are blasted Democracy is
blasted, too.
Such thoughts being uppermost, it
was an impressive ceremony in the
Presidents room OF the executive office
suite at $40 O'Clock tonight. By
Woodrow Wilson's act the Democratic
party became for the first time ir recent
years an administrative party, and on
his pen stroke what had been proposed
bill became the law OF the land. After
the Presidents hand had guided the
point to its final flourish great ships that
reached our ports from foreign lands
and trains that crossed our borders passed
under a new taxing system, as different
from the one heretofore existing as day
is from night.
After the President had signed he
made little speech. 1t will 60 down in
history as classic. The President spoke
in low voice, Of even modulation, but
everyone in the room heard him, and
everyone was gripped by the intensity,
the pride, the hope and the solemnity
that rang in his tones. He said he had
assisted in doing the thing he hac
dreamed OF since boyhood evening the
burdens Of taxation and helping to MAKE
business free.

the brilliant young Tennessean who
framed the new income tax and made
possible the reduction of tariff on count
less necessaries of life. And there were
many more-the Speaker, gazing gently
upon his one-time rival for the presi-
dency, Cabinet Ministers, Congressman,
the Vice President and others whose
names are fraught with the history Of
the party and the nation.
But foremost, among them all, was
the President Of the United States.
A happy group of legislators, merA-
bers OF the Cabinet and friends encircled
the President as be smilingly sat down
and slowly affixed his signature with two
gold pens.
He presented to Representative Under
wood the pen that had written the word
Woodrow" and the one which had
completed his name to Senator Sim
mons, both OF whom bowed their APP
probation.
"We'll be coming here again in a
short time to see the Currency Bill
signed, !" said Secretary Bryan. Secre-
tary McAdoo spoke with equal conf
dence.
RATES NOT INVOLVED.
1t is generally understood that de-
termined effort will be made as soon
as the new Congress convenes for the
regular session in December, il not be-
fore that time, TO take up cotton futures
tax legislation, and to eudeayor to pass
separate bill to regulate cotton ex-
change trading and to lay heavy tax
on that branch Of cotton trading which
members of the House and the Senate
characterize as gambling.
Germany will be the first nation to
take advantage Of that section Of the
new Tariff Act which provides for the
negotiation Of reciprocity arrangements
embodying mutual concessions in GUS
toms taxes. Already the initial steps
have been taken to secure such an ar
rangement in anticipation of the sign
ing OF the bill by the President tonight.
The chancellor Of the German Embassy,
acting in the absence Of Ambassador
Bernstorf, has been in communication
with the State Department, and tits ex-
pected that rough outline draft of
such an arrangement as is referred to in
that section soon will be ready for con-
sideration.
AS it emerged from conference this
section no longer contains the retaliatory
provisions inserted in the Senate, and is
now nothing more than an authoriza-
ton to the executive to negotiate trade
agreements with foreign nations where
in mutual concessions are made look
ing toward freer trade relations and
further reciprocal expansion Of trade
and commerce.

SUMMIT HALF GAINED.


1T is solemn moment for me, !"
said the President. Democracy now
rests in the pleasant inn, halfway to-
ward the summit Of achievement, and,
when the Currency Bill is passed, the
summit will be gained. That is what
the country is waiting for he told the
distinguished men who were gathered
about him, and he says he has the ut
most confidence that the Senate will do
what the nation is expecting, and pass
the companion measure to the Tariff
Bill within a'reasonably short time.
Three-fourths OF the Presidents speech
dealt with the linking Of the currency
with the tariff. Both are necessary, he
said, to make business free and relieve
the burdens OF the people, and the Demo
cratic party has consecrated itselfto that
dual end.
The political significance OF this por-
ton OF the Presidents speech sank in
upon his audience. All felt the firm
hand behind the noble language. All
knew, whatever their views about the
need OF immediate currency revision,
that Woodrow Wilson means to have it,
that he believes the nation requires and
expects it and that he will not rest con-
tent until he lies in the inn at the very
summit OF the party's achievement.
SHARING IN HoNoRs,
During the Presidents address no one
moved or spoke. The thought OF APP
plauding its stately periods came to no
man there. 1t was too powerful and
too earnest. After the President had
finished sigh ran among these men,
seasoned as they are to great oratory,
that preceded storm Of applause. A
moment after Mr.. Wilson S voice ceased
to be heard he had turned and was
sharing congratulations with Chairman
Underwood Senator Simmons, Repre-
sentative Hull and others whose work
had made to-night's triumph possible.
But the lesson he read and the determi-
nation he enunciated did not loosen grips
on the understanding Of any man there.

There was Oscar Underwood, whose

the party triumphantly together during
its consideration. There was Senator
