AUDITOR MOORE HAS
SOLVED DIFFICULTY
Will he No Delay i'm Paying Teachers
on Account of Tech
Dicalitlcs.

Thousands of public school teachers
throughout the state Will doubtless re-
toice with State Superintendent X. {,
Stearncs 81 the announcement that
Their October salaries for th.5 year
win be paid two or three weeks
earlier than usuai---that IS, alJnS
about November g..
7 November is always bad month
/ for county finances and as the year
/ 1915 is a sort OF transition period
I under the new tax system il looked at
one time as If the regular fan appor-
tionment of Sc hooi funds might be
seriously delayed
This apportionment, as the school
superintendent all know. IN based
primarily upon the returns of thu COM
missioners of revenue. Necessarily
some of these reports Of the commits
sioners have been delayed this tall.
while further complications seemed
imminent, in view of the fact that the
apportionmeuts for the various school
divisions were also dependent upon
the school census returns for the year
1915. These. too. in some instances.
have been uuavoidably held back. But
technical explanations are needless in
this connection. The fact is that. in
spite of what seemed insurmountab'e
difficulties in the way of the usual
fall appointments, on which teach
ers' salaries depend, the teachers are
to get their money even earlier than
under normal conditions.
This pleasing condition is due to a
ruling of c. Lee Moore, Auditor of
Public Accounts, who has exercised
all of his ingenuity To meet the sit
nation. Some days ago Mr.. Moore
determined that he would not keep
the teachers waiting merely because
of delays in receiving the land and
personal property books. but would
send TO all of the county and city
treasurers one-haif of the amounts
they received under the apportion-
ments OF last year. These amounts
total $S7b.751.44,
After the regular apportionment is
made on the basis of the commission
ers' returns--that is, on February /.
l916-another warrant VIII be sent
for the difference between the checks
actually issued and the total amount
due each county or city, To sum
things up, Auditor Moore Is deter
min that the payment of teachers
salaries shall not be delayed on a
mere technicality.

Better Cake and Biscuits

In all receipts calling for
one teaspoonfu1 Of soda and two
OF cream Of tartar, use instead
two spoonfu1s of Royal Baking
Powder. You Will get better and
finer food and save much trouble
and guessEork.
Look out for adu1terated bak-
ing powders. Do not permit them
to come into your house under any
considerati on. They may add an
injurious substance to your food,
destroying in part It's dtgesti-
bi1ity. Doctors Will tell you
this and it IS unquestionable.
Housewives are sonnet ines led
to use inferior baking powders
because Of apparent lover cost,
but there is very little differ
enee IN practical use, about one
cent for a whole cake or pan Of
biscuits-a mere trif1e when you
consider the vast difference in
healthfulness in favor Of food
made with Royal Baking Powder.

The Work of Congress.

Since congress adjourned the individual
units, senators and house members, have
scattered to every section of the country
some to their homes and others to the hust-
ings to acquaint the people with the work
that has been done
Some go to praise it.
Some go to condemn it.
The democrats, in the main, are pleased
with the result satisfied that they COM
pleted legislation that has gone into the
records. 1t is true that some of the dem
ocratic plans failed, and that democratic
members combined with those of the oppo-
sition to bring about these failures, but we
cannot expect to have united organization
IN every measure Too much unanimlty
would be too much leadership, would be too
little Independent thought in the legislative
branch. Therefore, we must be content II
there have been some plans left undone
because of difference of opinion between
men engaged in the same patriotic purpose
az to the means to accomplish the same
ends.
The late congress made new records be-
cause it enacted more legislation than any
other congress; it sat 542 days out of a pos
sible 623, and it's printed record consists of
10000 900 words which is more than any
other congress has ever spoken.
The democratic party presents the follow
ing as the principal achievements of its con-
gress, and upon that record it will rely in
going to the people for endorsement:
The Underwood-S Simmons tariff act with
+b ;pnonoo "a
The federal reserve act, reorganizing the
currency system of the country.
Supplementary antitrust law legislation
including the Clayton law and the act Gre
ating the federal trade commission.
Repeal of the Panama canal tolls exemp-
ton for American coastwise shipping
An act directing the construction of a gov
eminent railroad in Alaska at cost OF
$35, 100000.
An act to regulate the cotton exchanges,
and to penalize dealings in purely specula-
tive cotton future sales.
The levying Of war revenue tax.
A government war risk insurance bureau,
authorized to protect American ships against
the hazards of war.
An act providing for the transfer of for
eign-owned or built ships to American reg
istry.
The bill consolidating the life saving
and the revenue cutter service.
The seamens bill improving the condi-
tions under which seamen work.
The rural credits bill, which many hoped
would be of benefit to the agricultural inter
ests of the country, failed of passage. Sen
ator Smith urged it, but in the controver-
sizes of the closing days of the session it was
defeated.
