school Board Meeting

The board of education met
Monday night and made some
rulings concerning the local
school. One thing was to give
the children every fourth Satur-
day as a holiday. Heretofore
this term school has been in ses-
sion every Saturday. The first
holiday will be next Saturday
and every fourth Saturday there
after. The board also decided to
eliminate English history and
physiology from the course of
studies in the seventh grade.
The school Inspector reported
that the seventh grade was be-
ing over-worked and recommend
ed some action regarding .elimi-
nation of some of the work.

ernor snapped his fingers ''for
whether Judge Southern's ap-
poihtments pleased the political
crowd or not. They were not
made to please the court or the
contractors or any political
crowd. My only instructions to
Judge Southern were to cut
down the number of deputies to
that absolutely needed to do the
work, eliminate all useless jobs
and then to appoint men as depu-
ties who would do the work in
an efficient manner and, above
all, would see that a dollar of
rock or a dollar of work went on
the roads for every dollar spent,
not because they belonged to any
faction or were politicians.
Evidently, Judging from the
dissatisfactions with which his
appointments have been met in
cefsain quarters, he has followed
those instructions and succeeded
in carrying them out WE'LL"
If the Governors contention is
correct, the County Surveyor is
Ex-officio Highway Engineer and
Bridge Commissioner and the
County Court has no right to
split the Office and appoint, any
more than it would to separate
office of Treasurer and Ex-Officio
Collector and name a man for
the latter office. 1t is likely, if
the Supreme Court holds as con-
tended by the Governor, that
numbers of counties in the state
will be sued by surveyors for the
amounts paid to appointees tc
the Office of Highway Eng.
ineer and Bridge Commissioner.
Chariton courier. (Keytesville, Chariton County, Mo.) 1878-current, 1915-03-12

The Governor further said:
"The idea of a county court or
it's attorney holding a state law
unconstitutional is so ridiculous
it approaches the limit of absurd
ity. Since when did a county
court get power to declare state
law unconstitutional? Any ap-
pointment to the Office of high
way engineer by the county
court is illegal on the face of it.
There is not any doubt at all
that the courts will hold that
and any money paid out to a
man appointed to that Office by
the county court will be paid out
illegally.
81 don't think any contractors
will care to do work or bid on
any contracts which will fall
under the supervision of such an
illegal appointment. This matter
win go to the supreme court Of
of the state if it becomes neces-
sary. The court which took this
ridiculous action might as well
realize that now before they go
any further.
Furthermore, l know this;
Judge Southern will not be in
timidated into giving up his own
appointments of deputies and
name those wanted by the court
or the political crowd the court
belongs to or any other political
crowd.
Il supposed it was a fine ap-
pointment and he was a good
surveyor and highway engineer
until he'd made his appointments
of deputies and when he didn't
name the men the court or the
courts crowd wanted, he would
not do at all.
Il don't care that" the gov

After the Hunters

j. r. Mercer of Washington,
administrative assistantin charge
of the Federal Migratory Bird
Law, is in Kansas City to start
some prosecutions against hunt
ers who have been shooting
ducks and geese in violation OF
the federal law.
There has been a fancied Sc
curity on the part OF hunters be-
cause the state laws of Missouri
and Kansas has open season.
until late in the spring" " said
Mr.. Mercer last night at the
Hotel Savoy, but the govern
ment recognizes no state laws.
A conflict cannot be claimed any
more than a man could set up
that the possession of a federal
liquor license absolved him from
paying state, county and city IL
censes to run a saloon.
We want to cooperate with
the states as much as possible,
and we have no disposition to
undertake any vindictive meas
ures, but a state law like that of
Missouri, which permits the
shooting of migratory birds until
April, is ridiculous. If all the
states had that privilege there
would soon be no duck and goose
shooting"
The season in Missouri and
Kansas closes February l, by the
terms of the federal law. The
hunters have generally been de-
flying this provision and claim
ing the enjoyment of the longer
season authorized in the state
laws of Missouri and Kansas.
This will lead to grief, Mr..
Mercer declares.
So far this year the govern
ment has prosecuted twenty-six
cases, fines being imposed in
most instances. Seventy more
cases are pending, and Mr..
Mercer with the aid of Kansas
City officers and E. C. Higgins
of st. Louis, who is here with
him as assistant, exects to ado
some Kansas City cases to the
list. X. G. Star.
