right Tor posterity 10 be asked to
share the burdens as they will share
the benefits, but there is a limit to
all things, and that limit seems to
have been reached locally.
The action Of the tax payers in in
diCating their desire to prevent in
creased expense and the adoption OF
new and untried plans, should serve
as a guidance to the Board of Edu'
cation in the conduct of school affairs.
Everybody wants good school hous'
les, the best of equipment. and capa'
bic teachers, but fads and frequent
innovations must wait for more ia
vorable environment
In this connection, also, it might
be we'll to suggest the burden that
should rest on every parent and pat
ron of the public schools. A free and
graceful submission on the part of
every pupil to the rules prescribed by
the board Of education and school of
icers in authority is desirable that
the best results may be obtained for
the large sums spent on the school
system in Oskaloosa. Let us forget
our differences and all get together

UNION IN TEST; 100000 OUT
Strikers in Italy Hear Many Fiery
Speeches and Make a Strong
Demand.

Rome, Italy, March 1O.--A meeting
of 100000 Italian workmen, who
started a general strike, was held on
the Piazza del PoyOlo. Fiery speeches
were delivered from several platforms,
but there was no disorder. The meet
ing merely passed a resolution de-
manding that the public hospitals be
organized for the benefit Of The work
ing classes. The ostensible reason Of
the strike was TO protest against
changes recently introduced in the
hospitals, The authorities, however.
believed the movement to be the out
growth Of a desire of the leaders OF
the workmen to test the strength OF
their organization. The entire garrt-
son and police force we're kept in
readiness. Besides these $4,000 men
several regiments were brought in
from the provinces. Every strategical
point in the city was occupied with
soldiers and squadrons of cavalry pa
trolled the main thoroughfares.

MINE OWNERS BLAMED
SPECIAL SENATE BODY REPORTS
ON w. VIRGINIA STRIKE.
Committee Found That Military Pow
ers Were Employed OrasticalIy Al
though Civil Courts Were Open.

Washington, March 10.-Blame for
most of the riots and loss of life and
property in the Paint and Cabin Creek
districts OF West Virginia in 1912 is
put upon the coal operators and civil
authorities in a report submitted to
the senate by Chairman Swanson Of
the special committee named to in
vestigate conditions In the West Nir-
ginia mines.
The committee found that military
powers were employed drastiCally. al
though civil courts were open and
were not threatened or molestcd. 1t
failed, however. to find that peonagc
existed. that United States mails had
been interfered with or that the fed
eral immigration laws had been VIC
lated
The report enumerates the follow
ing contributing causes of strife in
the coal fields:
The failure OF the operators in the
Paint Creek district to renew their
expiring contract with the United
Mine Workers; the determination Of
the coal operators under no circum-
stances to recognize the miners as an
organization or union the det~rmina'
ton of the miners to organize and
form a union; the employment by the
operators of mine guards; the failure
Of the civil authorities TO attempt
even TO preserve peace and order at
the beginning OF violence and permit
ting things to drift from bad to worse
without vigorous interference and as.
sertion OF authority; discomfort among
the miners occasioned by no oppor-
tunity to buy homes; no cemeteries
except on the companies grounds:
postoffices located in company stores;
private roads only to schools and;
the disposition OF the coal operators
to keep strict espionage on all
strangers who entered the district and
to exercise their right OF private own
ership Of this large district and to ex'
cIude from It all persons objection
able to them"

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

General speaking" says Henry
Clews in his weekly New York let
ter, the business situation is sound,
and the outlook is for Improvement
when spring approaches. The de-
clining tendency of money has been
checked, and there is the possibility
of temporarily firmer rates as the
first of April approaches. Bank re-
serves have fallen from $40,OOO,OOO
in the first week of February to be-
low $4,000 900 a week ago, loans
meanwhile having steadily increased
from $1,S49, 100000 December Is, to
50, OJ9. 7J4 900 week ago. The re-
serves. however, will soon be aided by
the return of Canadian funds to this
market which will serve to compen-
safe for the further outflow of gold
to Paris. The Western credit Situa'
ton still attracts some attention in
view OF the real estate situation out
there, and the fact that the farmers
are in debt more heavily than usual,
although not to any embarrassing en-
tent. The crop situation is now a
matter OF increased interest, and the
heavy precipitation of snow and ram
during the winter months should
leave the soil in generally good CON
dition. The railroad situation is still
Somewhat embarrassing owing to
declining earnings, which emphasizes
the necessity of the Interstate Com
merce Commission granting some
concessions. 1t can hardly be expect
ed that the full per cent will be con-
coded, but there is good reason to
hope for 212 to 3 per cent advance
particularly in the Eastarn lines
which are feeling the depression much
more keenly than those in the west.
No lasting Improvement can be OK.

this rate problem is settled. The out,

London than here, though this mar

STATES AND DEBTS.

/
! Iowa will show up pretty well in
the forthcoming bulletin on national
and state debts, by the Census De
partment. Advance sheets furnished
| the press show that on June 80 1919,
| Tor the close OF the fiscal year falling
within the twelve months preceding
that date) the total debt of the AS
states in the United States amounted
! to $419.167,0 900. OF this total about
$19 100000 represented floating debt,
and nearly S400,OO0,O00 represented
| funded debt. or the funded debt about
! 1858, 100000 are represented by bonds,
and Sal 100000 are special debt obi

As an Offsetting item against the
total debt. 4S states reported STOP.
! 900 in sinking fund assets. leaving
the debt (less sinking fund assets)
/ for the As states $342,ZoI 900.
Various practices are found in diff.
! ferent states with reference to the
assumption Of debt by the states, and
some difficulty arises when attempt
/ is made to compare the debt OF the
! different states. The only two states
which call for special mention in this
connection are Arizona and Massa-
| chusetts. In Arizona the state has
assumed responsibility for very
! large amount of county and municipal
| debt and has issued state obligations
! to cover the same, holding the cOun-
ties and municipalities responsible in
| turn. 1t might be noted, however,
that the Arizona debt even under
these circumstances amounts to only
eight.tenths of ! per cent OF the total
| for the United States. Massachusetts,
on the other hand, has assumed liza
/ bility for debt of metropolitan dis
| tricts which in most states would
| probably be classed as local, county,
or municipal debt. The total debt
| Cless sinking fund assets for Massa-
chusetts represents 1872 per cent of
the debt for all states in the United
States. Iowa, Wyoming and Oregon
each has less than one-tenth OF l per
contrast. New York has % per cent
OF the total for the As states.
| A study of the per capita debt
shows that in Iowa the debt 0ess
sinking fund assetsJ amounts to only
three cents per capita, and in Ore
g0n, four cents per capita. In Ar
kansas. Florida, Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota Nebraska,
New Jersey. Oregon, Pennsylvania,
South Dakota, Texas, West Virginia,
Wisconsin and Wyoming. the per
capita debt (less sinking fund assets)
| is less than $1,000.

years ago. the Indebtedness 0ess sink.
ing fund assets) for the 48 states
amounted to 1894, 909, 900 as compar.
ed with S342, 251 900 shown in the re-
port now being prepared. This is an
increase in ten years OF $107,342, 600,

with an increase of slightly more than
20 per cent in the population Of the

taken out Of town when they resisted.
The attorney general of the state was
on the scene, and at once went post
haste to the Office Of Governor John
son. The militia has been under arms
and it is reported that they will be
called out at once. The jobless men
carried American flags, which were
taken from them by the police. Those
driven out of the encampment place
spread over the city, greatly increas-

rowANs ARE COMING BACK.

Many Iowans, who sold their farms
when the high prices came, and
bought. cheap lands elsewhere, are
quietly coming back to Iowa" said
Dean c. T. Curtiss, of the Division OF
Agriculture, at the Iowa State College
in a recent address at the annual
short course. These men, who have
seen the farms they sold increase
many times as fast in value in this
state of sure crops as in the newer
lands, are slipping back to the great
est agricultural state in the Union.
He said that Iowa farms are now
considered the safest mortgage in.
vestments in the world, and as farm
values tend to become more stable
and permanent the interest rates In
this state will be lowered until on a
parity with government bonds.
He predicted that an increasingly
large proportion Of Iowa farms would
be farmed by tenants, saying that
long tenancy contracts, which provid.
ed for the upkeep OF the fertility OF
the soil, win make good money. both
