SANITARY sCHoohHoUsE LAW.

The State of Indiana has a com
prehensiye sanitary schoolhouse law
and the State of Ohio has a build
: ing code which regulates the con
struction of schoolhouses and alsc
lays down rules as to their sanitary
equipment and condition.
| In order TO increase the sum o.
knowledge with respect to school
house construction and sanitation
the United States Bureau of Educa-
ton has published the Indiana Law
and the Ohio building code in a bull
Ietin under the title Sanitary
| Schoolhouses," Commissioner Clax-
ton says in his note of introduction
that these laws seem to be "as near
ly typical of the best as any in this
country"
There are many States which have
no laws of this kind. New school
buildings constantly are being con-
structed. These States are spending
millions of dollars every year for
buildings and improvements with no
State supervision to insure safety
and sanitation. Schoolhouses not only
should be comfortable and healthful,
but they should be equipped with
some degree of uniformity and shout
be built with due regard for fire
hazards and other possible dangers.
This can be accomplished in the
erection of city school buildings,
through local ordinances governing
such matters, but it cannot be done
in towns, villages and rural dis
tricts in the absence of regulatiye
legislation.
The United States Bureau of Ed
ucation is devoting much attention
to the matter of school buildings
and equipment. 1t has issued some
valuable bulletins, has prepared some
model plans and is giving advice and
assistance to school officials when
ever requested to do 80. But"
says Commissioner Claxton, "it be-
comes ever more evident that there
can be no certainty that all or most
In any State will be
constructed in the absence
of adequate building laws,and school
officials and legislators everywhere
are seeking information as to the
best forms of such laws"
One States laws on such sub
ject might not be adaptable in their
entirety to another State, but care
fully drawn laws, such as those of
Indiana and Ohio, necessarily will
contain much that may be profitably
considered by any State which con-
such Legislation.

TAX MAIL ORDER HOUSES.

Peddlers, vendors of wares of al
kinds who come into your town to
sell goods are made to pay a Ii
cense. They realize that If they are
to make their living off of any com
munity it is up to them to share the
expense of making that community
law-abiding one, safe place to
sell goods.
Why should the mail order hous-
es, worse offenders by far, through
the fact of location, be exempt from
sharing in county and state taxes
when competing with merchants
who pay tribute to their Local
governments?
The majority of people are sure
that this country is all the better
for having small towns and rural
communities, therefore, we can't see
where any one can figure it wrong
to tax mail order houses, and have
the government divide this revenue
on prorata basis with the various
states.
The Constitution of the United
States was adopted for the sole pur-
pose of protecting the American
people from themselves, and it is
high time we were seriously con-
sidering legislation of this kind to
protect the smaller towns and
communities, the very life-blood of
the Nation. Selfish people, and un-
thinking people who look at a pos
sible saving Of the moment, and
overlook future consequences, need
a check on their foolish enthusiasm,
and this is a good way to make a
start.
See your Congressman. Ask him
If it is good way to help your
town by taking itstrade away from
it. If not, TO get busy on law to
levy a tax on mail order houses.
