extravaganza in administration, and
unbusiness-like ways Of running the
county, and urged that the following
be considered: Justices of the peace
TO have jurisdiction in petty cases
which now come up before Court, and
cost a great deal of money; give jury
cases precedence in Court so as TO
shorten the Court terms. In both of
the latter plans Justice OF the Peace

The proposition for increased sala-
ries Of public school teachers was
launched by former Sheriff George T.
Beasley, who offered a resolution urg-
ing the Senator and Delegates from
Anne Arundel the wisdom and neces
sity of establishing pay schedule of
salaries for elementary school teach
ers in Anne Arundel county of $500
minimum TO 5000 maximum per year.
Miss Maize Smith, chairman of the
legislative committee of the County
Teachers Alliance, was next heard
and presented a paper from the Ali
ance urging the increased salary for
school teachers.
Professor Burdette felt that the ac-
ton of the county school system in re-
fusing the increase in salary was wise,
because he felt that the real way to
solve the question was by a consolida-
ton of rural schools.
Mrs. Robert Moss, of this city also
urged the increase of pay of the school
teachers.
Walter II. Hart also spoke. touch

the RENTER ERon lLLlnols.

He was from Illinois, attending a
big stock sale of high grade cattle in
Marshalltown. You know most OF
those good Illinois farmers slip oveI
into Iowa when they want the best
stock TO he had anywhere. He Is a
''renter' in Illinois in the Rock River
valley and complains that at the pres
ent high price of farm lands the rent
ers can not make any money. Still he
was in Marshalltown buying high
grade shorthorn cattle for breeding
purposes, something that suggests that
he isn't losing much on his farming
operations.
He isn't. He is making money
Here's the secret of it. He is a good
farmer. He has been on the same
farm for eight years He and his
| landlord agree that he ought to stay
longer. They are in a sort of partner
ship in which the renter pays cash
rent that is not extortionate and farms
the land as tho it We're his own. He
knows he's going to stay. That is why
he is buying Thoroughbred shorthorns
to take back to rented farm.
The reason that some tenant farm
ers do not make any money on rented
farms is twofold-they do not farm to
make anything but the rent for the
year and take all they can skin off the
place, and the landlord is rack renter
and helps skin the farm by over rental
Such renters and such landlords al
ways get together by a law as i'm
mutable as that Of gravitation. They
are both sharks in their peculiar
fashions. 1t is a sort of. Kilkenny cat
process in which little is left Of the
cats and nothing of the farm when
the end comes. And both deserve TO
lose.
But it is hard on the land. 1t is
hard on the state. 1t is hard on the
town to which the farm is a trading
tributary.
The short lease and its exponents,
the rackrenter and the soil skinner,
are the greatest danger the agricul-
tural interests must face. They belong
in the discard. The ten-year tenant
and the human landlord are the saliva
ton of the soil.

BY BOND OR BY DRIBLEIs.

Recently a campaign was waged
tho unsuccesstully, in Los Angeles
county for new bond issue with
which 20 finance the building of more
paved roads. Most Of the main travelled
roads in that county have been paved
from previous bond issue and it was
impossible TO interest majority in
giving al public expense 10 the re-
manning few the benefits of such roads
as the majority already enjoyed be-
cause California has not provided for
assessing the property most directly
benefited but the arguments used by
the campaigners in a country In which
road bond issues and the paved road
are common will be read with interest.
Let US have our highways by pay
ing for them on the installment plan
instead Of building them on the in
stallment plan. Well get them sooner
and enjoy them longer" reads their
appeal.
| Cheaper by bonds than by driblets"
! is the title to another argument which
! is proved conclusively by pro rating
the cost Of a paved road over period
of forty years, in fact it is shown that
building a permanent road by bonding
lis cheaper In the long run than build
ing temporary work, the claim being
that spread over a period of forty
years We will not have to bear the

california booster from actual expert
tence, that one of the fundamental
principles involved in making public
improvements by bonding, is that the

made to bear their just share of the
burden; that we Of the present shall

The cloudburst is an effort on the
part of nature to renew popular belief
in the deluge and the story Of Noah's

Cloudbursts are caused by a large
body of water collecting in one spot
and falling upon the earth in solid
lump. Sometimes this lump is so solid
that it irons out the unsuspecting
pedestrian in smooth and efficient
manner and washes him into the near
est basement, where he is pursued by
the cloudburst and has to take refuge
on top of a hot air furnace. In To-
calities which are favored by cloud
bursts every thirty days, however pop
