case will reach the jury in the early

The testimony on the part Of the
prosecution tended to show that Cue

several years and that Cue had several
times threatened to kill Young; that
the day Of the tragedy Young, who
owned the farm on which Cue and
his family lived, visited the farm to
look after some cattle. and that Cue,
who had sent him word not to set
foot on the place, shot him with a

shown that Young was killed about

Parents TO Demand

ing Systems.

Parents of Washington school
children, through pdrent-teacher
organizations, through the Mothers
Congress, and through citizens as
SociatiOnS, plan a concerted effort
this Winter to remedy certain con-
ditions which handicap the public
schools.
One of these conditions is the
large number of old, poorly heated,
badly lighted, lily ventilated, and
fire trap buildings, for which re-
pair funds are not available.
The Times today begins a series
of articles setting forth some of
the needs of the public schools in
this city. A striking example of
the handicap of inadequate physi-
cal equipment is afforded by the
old Johnson Annex, which the Mt.
Pleasant Citizens Association nom
is Investigating.
BY ]. R. HILDEBRAND.
Perhaps you thought the days of the
weather board school house, with its
upright barrel stove, scorching those
pupils near it, and allowing those
farther away to shiver from breezes
creeping in through crevices. with no
toilet rooms in the building, with a
leaky roof, and dim light on cloudy
days, were memories of a bygone day.
Far from 1T. In Washington you can
find one school house which exactly
fills these specifications. And II you

that of the direct draft resulting

There is no artificial lighting in

replaced with a roof OF highly in

ACCORDING to figures compiled
it cost the municipalities through
out the state the nice little sum of
43 cents for each and every vote
polled on Nov. 8. The cost to the
candidates for various offices. state,
judicial, county. legislative and
local was about 81 AZ for each vote
polled, in campaign expenses.
The total cost to taxpayers and
candidates was about $1S5 vote.
In this computation no account is
made of the primary election last
June. The expenses of that were
doubtless as large, if not larger,
than those of the general election.
There were Approximately $4,000
ballots cast in Minnesota on Nov.
8. According to Julius A.
Schmahl, secretary of state, there
are 3,O44 voting precincts in the
state and the average election cost
for each of these is $50, including
the payrolls, rent, printing and
other expenses. This makes a
total of S152, 200 for the taxpayers
to meet.

SCHOOL EFFICIENCY
the city schools.

the city schools.
Instead of the county superin-
tendent, who is usually fully cap
able but may be primarily master
of the art of getting votes, there
will be the superintendent chosen
bv the board, just as the city super
intendent is chosen by the board of
education in the independent dis
tricts. He must have knowledge,
capacity and experience.
When a cooperative creamery is
started the farmers do not take
turns making butter. They hire
the best butter maker they can get.
If the common school education is
as important as the state seems to
think when it spend $14, 10000 a
year on it, nearly 100000 of
that state funds and state taxes, it
is as we'll worth while to hire
competent man or woman for man
ager of the cooperative school dis
trict as for manager of the CO.
operative creamery.
When school was a place where
children went to learn the alphabet
and the multiplication table, one
teacher was perhaps as good as an
other. Our schools have out
grown that. Teaching is trade
not less intricate than making
creamery butter.
The city schools get the best
teachers they can find and the best
supervisors they can hire. The
country schools are entitled to just
as good supervision. In the CO.
operative common school districts
they can get it.

However the next house is
organized, the efficiency plan will
be assured of consideration. 1t is
assumed by every leading member
OF the house that it will be one of
the important measures. 1t is as
stunned that whoever is chairman of
the house committee to handle the
efficiency bill will have a position
hardly less important than the
speakership.
1t seems to be the understanding
that special committees of both
houses will be appointed to con-
slider this measure and that it will
be mulled over in joint sessions.
Evidently, the public expects
some action on the efficiency pro-
gram and the legislature is pre-
pared to take it.
SOME COMMENTS.
H. H. F1owers-The economy
and efficiency commission has pro-
posed an excellent reorganization
scheme. Some action along this
line is demanded.

Peterson, Gunnar B. Bjornson and
Others) believe that if this reor-
ganization can be adopted, with
or without modification, by the
Legislature it will mean added
prestige for those back of the
movement.
The Minneapolis Tribune-Mr,
Hammond desires an early vote on
the bill because he wishes to see
the next legislature frame a state
government reconstruction bill
which actually will offer a better,
more economical, more efficient
government.
The Morris Sun, speaking ap-
parently with authority, declares
that L. C. Spooner has not sought
the speakership and that he regards
the efficiency program as more
important matter to come before
this session. His principal inter
est is that the house shall be so
organized that this measure will
have careful and thorough consid-
