After an exchange of letters be-
tween Mrs. Josephine Preston, state
superintendent of instruction, and
Richard Seelye Jones, executive COM
missioner of the state commission for
the Panama-Pacifc exposition, in
which the former argued that $4,000
was too small a sum for an adequate
educational display at the San Fran
cisco fair, the commission proposes
to go ahead with it's original plans,
retaining control of the educational
exhibit, as all others.
eve believe $4,000 will be enough
for our purposes said Mr. Jones
I'VE plan to make our exhibit tell
graphically just why the Russell Sage
foundation ranked this state first in
its report On education. Because
many other exhibits, such as agricul
ture, manufacturing, stock raising and
dairying must be provided, we cannot
see our way clear to discriminate il
favor of the educational exhibit

The high school students Of the
state are coming to the rescue OF the
taxation experts and state authorities
who have been all but bluffed by the
problems of taxation for the last in
Vulnerable decades. During the sea-
son of 1914-15 about eighty high school
debating teams will each wrestle three
or four times with the question, Re
solved, that a system of taxation be
adopted in the state Of Washington
under which revenues from public
service corporations operating in
more than one county shall be applied
to the support of the state govern
ment, and the revenues from remain
ing property shall be used exclusively
for local purposes"
In announcing this question for the
ensuing school year, Assistant State
superintendent G. A. Sprague outlines
the meanings of the terms used, and
urges that Libraries all over the state
make special effort to accommodate
the students who will wish to make
study of the question during the sum-
mer. The announcement of the ques-
ton is made earlier than usual in or
der that student debaters may study
the working of the taxation system
during the assessment and tax pay
ment period.
Among the conditions and defini-
tons to govern the question are the
following:
The question of constitutionality of
the proposed system is waived.
Indirect sources" shall include rev.
enues from state lands, inheritance
taxes, escheats, fees for corporation
charters, automobile licenses, taxes on
insurance companies, fees of state Of
fee, share of liquor licences.
Remaining property shall include
real and personal property, franchises
IF public service corporations not OBJ
elsting in more than one county, Ii
quor licenses, local licenses.
Local purposes" shall cover govern
ments Of all political subdivisions of
the state-municipality, county, port
district, road district, school district.
''The reports Of the state board of
tax commissioners and of the state
board Of equalization win be four
quite helpful. Copies of the reports

THE "FARM-PRODUCTS" POST

The latest extension of the parcel
post service will be welcomed by city
folk and farmers alike, notes the Chi
cago Tribune, because it permits the
shipment of farm products in lots of
twenty to fifty pounds in ordinary
crates and boxes and will in opera
ton relieve both producer and con-
sumer from the tender mercies of IAN
INSCRIPTIONS middle-man." Another
new ruling, it might be noted here, al
lows the attaching of duly stamped
letters to parcels to insure their sim
ultaneous delivery. The farm pro-
ducts post" is limited to the first and
second zones, distance of about $50
miles, and it's purpose, to establish di-
rect traffic relations between truck
gardener or farmer and the city pur-
chaser, will, it is believed, reduce the
cost of living for the one and add to
the margin of profit for the other. AS
sales are managed now, a writer in
the Louisville Courier-Journal says,
food products for which the farmer
receives 1924 on his farm are retaiTed
in the city for $685." The new idea is
attributed by this writer to a coopera-
ton between pOstoffice and agricul-
tural department experts, who calcu-
late that the figuring of this sum I'M
der the parcel post system will work
cut somewhat as follows: The farmer
will prepay postage and accept S425
for the articles of food for which the
commission merchants now give him
approximately 1924 and which they
sell to the consumer for. $555. Thus
the farmer will pocket an increase of
$1.01, and the city consumer will save
S1.3O on each such purchase, accord
ing to the theories Of the experts
who are trying to eliminate the mid
dleman" and divide his profits between
the producer and the consumer.

Daniels Order Continues
to Be Main Topic For
Discussion in CAPITAL
By Associated Press

Washington, April 7. Secretary
Daniels order barring alcoholic
liquors from American warships and
naval stations continued to-day to be
topic Of animated discussion at the
Army and Navy Club and wherever
navy officers gathered. Mr.. Daniels
said he has not yet considered in what
circumstances he will make exceptions
to the iron-cl rule, but reminded his
inquirers that Surgeon General Braist-
ed, who recommended the banishment
OF alcohol had suggested that excep-
tlons could be made wherever inter-
national courtesy required. The sec
retary has not made up his mind what
course he will pursue when the inter-
national fleet mobiliZes at Hampton
Roads next year to go through the
Panama canal at its formal opening.
II am sure the order will meet with
the approval of nea- " all officers and
expect full compliance" said Mr..
Daniels.
The order created no little interest
among army officers, but none of the
officials of the War Department would
comment for publication. When the
subject was mentioned to Secretary
Garrison, he said
When / was young man my
father pointed out to me a man who
had made q fortune minding his own
