WORKS. SCHOOL FUNDS

The financial condition Of York
county's public school system is still
far from what the more earnest and
intelligent promoters Of educational
development would like; but neverthe-
less the figures for the year ending
June 30, 1918, as compared with the
figures for the year ending June 30,
1903, show progress that is far from
discreditable.
Leaving out Of consideration the
revenue that came from the sale of IL
quor under the old dispensary regime,
the increase in the school fund during
the past ten years has been 1873 per
cent, and if the dispensary funds of
1903 are included, the increase still
amounts to 121 per cent.
The receipts for 1903 were as fol-
lows: Poll tax, $5,722.45; special le-
vies, s4,S26.4O; constitutional school
and other sources, s1S,736.30.
The receipts for 1913 were as fol-
lows: Poll tax, $7,549.21; special
levies, s24,SOS15; constitutional mill
and other sources, s44,S03.15.
Total for 1913 ....... SIT, ,160 81
Total for 1903 80. 80. :. 1926 15
Increase in 10 years :. ...s47,S75 SO
By reason Of the additional special
levies voted during the past year, the
county will get more state aid this
year than heretofore, and it Is estimat-
ed that the total income for the schools
will mount up to something like $780,

There will be disputes next summer
over the question as to who is entitled
to the credit for the looping Of that
$500, 900 Of the general appropriation

propose to try to settle the dispute
now, we will venture the suggestion

If 1t is a fact that the people are cap
able of choosing their officials, then 1t
will have to stand to reason that they

course it must be admitted that the
people can be deceived and buncoed,
and it must be admitted that they are
often deceived and buncoed; but all

ton, in 1910, will recall that I then
insisted upon a general Endorsement
Of Governor Campbells administra-
ton; and certainly, | had stronger
personal reasons for Withholding an
Endorsement in that case than have
in the present case.
Having thus distinctly answered
your question, you may not desire any

for me that am going to the State
Convention. in the hope that | can
hold our party in Texas steadfastly to
the doctrine Of State Rights. and to a

Convention for the purpose; first, Of

pose Of securing a declaration against
National Prohibition; and. third, for
the purpose Of securing declaration
in favor of the ancient and traditional
Tariff policy Of the Democratic party.
And, in order that everybody may
know just what intend to ask the
convention to say on the Tariff Ques-
ton, hand you this resolution, which

I We are in favor Of tariff for
revenue only, limited to the ne

TWO APPOINTMENTS BY
VILLA CAUSE COMMENT
Rod0lfo Flerro and Carlos oomln.
que1 TO Be Made Commanders Of
Brleades In Villas Army.

FL Paso, Texas. July 2O.-Two pro-
posed appointments of officers of the
division controlled by villa, which he
will make within a day or two are
causing considerable discussion
among the officers of both Carranza
and villa factions as to whether the
appointments will mean another out
break between villa and Carranza.
Both men are said to be In the bad
favor OF Carranza and their appoint
ment appears to be an act Oh General
Villas part to show Carranza his in
dependence in military matters.
The appointments are Rodolfo FL.
erro as commander OF the brigade,
which was commanded by the late
General Trinidad Rodrigues, and the
other is the appointment of Carlos
0aminguez as commander Of the Or
tega brigade, whose commander died
at Chihuahua on Thursday. Fierro
viii be promoted from colonelcy to
brigadier general while Dominguez,
who held the rank of major on Cen
eral Carranza's staff, will be pro-
NOTED to become colonel to COM
mand the brigade.
Carranza and his faction have OPP
posed Fierro for some time. Domin-
guez was exiled from Carranza terri
tory under penalty of execution II
he ever returned, because he had the
courage to address Carranza during
the banquet while he was the second
in command of his staff, telling Car
rama what he believed were his
faults. Dominguez had also trouble
with General Jacinto Trevino, Car
ranza's chief of staff, who is one of
the Carranza clan which Villa SYM
pathizers have always opposed.

WHAT JOE BAILEY SAID.

The enemies of former Senator J..

Democrats of Texas when was a

am, therefore, more than willing TO
say to you that | have no thought
of attempting to prevent general in
dorsement of President Wilson's ad.

One OF Bryan's urgent needs is an
auditorium. This has been evident In
many ways during the past few years,
but on last Friday upon the occasion
Of Col. Balls visit TO Bryan its need
was shown more forcibly than ever.
No one who was present at that time
could dispute its need or doubt this
statment. There was not hall In

people here, not only from adjoining
counties, but from all sections Of the
State-farmers attending the institute

have comfortably seated them the good
things they owuld have said OF

have been worth the price of the audi.
torlum. As II was, we do not hope to

FURTHER TEST OF PAVING.

The joint meeting of the committee
from the City Council and the com
mittee of Main street property own
ers and f. C. Proudfoot met Saturday
afternoon in the Council chambers at
the City Hall to consider the matter of
paying Mr.. Proudfoot the $4,000 which
was reserved out of the payment for
the Main street paving until the pave
ment was tested. After considerable
discussion Mr. Proudfoot agreed to let
the city hold the bonds until the mid
die of September, so that all parties
concerned would be satisfied as to the
quality of the paving. This will give
the paving a test by the big cotton
laden wagons in the fall of the year.
