Why The Bonds Should Carry

/
J Since the condemnation of the old
school building it is necessary that a
new school house be built
rhe board of directors Of this district,
after due consideration, decided that
ss $1,000 bond would he the amount
required to meet the demands of this
district, taking into consideration che
wants and necessities Of the time to
come.
This 5s50Oo0 bond If voted is "a be
used Tor the construction and furnish
ing new school building.
+ We must take in.o consideration fu
ture needs as well as present needs,
when building, and must consider Us
we'll the peculiar requirements OF modern
school buildings.
good, well equipped school building
is nm advantage to any com nunity.
While it may increase our taxes, still
taking into consideration that ii in
croases the value of our property nra
boosts our country more than anything
else.
The pnbic is responsible for the cdu
cation OF tho children in the public
schools, and it is not matter of saving
few dollars when you think OF the
benefits derived tberefrom.
When the s9,500o0 boud issue was
sold to tho highest bidders, they were
sold at par and on 5ls per cent basis
/ rhey brought se40 90 above par In
other words, instead of receiving check
for S, $1,000 from the bonding company
we will receive check 70, $4,000
Now in the event the bond issue is
voted down another election must be
held and smaller bond issue voted
to the district, and without question, il
smaller amount of bonds we're to be
sold they would demand more interest
and probably sell at par value without
any premium whatever.
am informed the Parker school dis
trict in Douglas county bonded for 81 1000
selling their bonds at four per cent be
low par, and paying seven per cent in.
terest on the bonds.
We are simply borrowing this money
from bonding house and are giving
our bonds as security. II an individual
goes to a bank to borrow, say SS00ooo
he can borrow that sum at less rate oI
interest than the same individual could
borrow one hundred dollars for. This
same example would undoubtedly hap
| pen il we were to vote on a smaller tond
issue.
In case this bond issue as'suggested
by the school board is voted down il
would mean delay of starting the
school building at least sixty days, as
The laws on advertising, selling new
bonds, special elections, etc, would have
to be complied with before new bonds
could be sold
A new school building is an impera-
tive need and the question must be
faced squarely. Consider how much
more it will cost you on your taxes tc
bond for $4,000 than say SC 000o0.
Let's all get together and consider
these things and realize that every dol
lar spent in this matter will bring ade
quate returns.
1t is public question, and not pri.
vate one, so let us invite it our duty as
citizens, and uphold the action of the
board of directors 10y ascenliug to the
bond issue they have proposed.

WHEN THE WAR ENDS,
LOOK OUT, UNCLE SAM

The war has doubled the foreign
trade of the United States. For the
calendar year 1916 imports and ex-
ports will total approximately $1,000
600 600, according to a close computa-
ton by the National City bank of New
York. Before the war the total fell a
little short Of $4,000. 900 900.
Everybody knows that the United
States is selling more abroad than II
ever sold before. but the fact is not so
well understood that we are import
ing more foreign merchandise than we
ever imported before. An erroneous
impression lies in the minds of many
that the war destroyed the export
trade of the belligerents and that Eu-
rope has little to sell in the markets
OF the United States. In point of fact
the United States will import this year
nearly $3.50, 900 900 more OF foreign
merchandise than il imported In 1915.
Imports for this calendar year will be
approximately 81. 500. O00, 900, as
against S1,779, 900 900 in the calendar
year 1915. Never before had our i'm
ports reached 81, 200, O00, 900 in any
year.
When the war ends il is inevitable
tlat our exports will slump. Europe
viii cease abruptly the buying of mu-
nitions and other war supplies. For
tie ninp months ended September 80.
according to figures published last
Neek by the New York Journal of
Commerce, We sold the belligerents
$500 900 900 worth OF explosives alone.
Purchases of other war materials
rougEt tie total for the nine months
to 1897 $40. 600, or more than rs per
,ept OF the country's export trade for
tie period under review.
That trade will vanish in a flash
WITH he ending of the war and the
armies Of men and women o EN-
L.oJCI IN the munitions factories OF
this country will find themselves out
Of work.
Al the same time. though the change
Will not be so abrupt, the b%elligerent
countries will cut down their buying
of American food supplies, for the 25,-
600. 900 men now in the great armies
will be sent back to the pursuits OF
peace-to tilling the soil, to work in
the mines and factories.
When that hour comes the indus
tries of this country will face a crisis.
Our exports will slump off and unless
we guard our markets with a protect
i've tariff u imports will be tremen-
dously increased.
II must be patent to every rejecting
mind that II a warning world, In a
year OF war,~can sell $3.50, 900 900 more
OF merchandise in the United States
than IL sold in time Of peace. we shall
be flooded with cheap labor products
when the war is ended and all Europe
gathers herself for the inevitable com
mercial war which all authorities
agree is surely coming with the re-
turn OF peace.
With Germany totally cut off from
the markets Of the United States w
are importing $3.50. 900. 900 more OF for
eign merchandise than we imported
in time Of peace. When the war 4
ended Germany will again be free to
push her goods in the markets OF the
United States, and also 10 compets
American Falls press. [volume] (American Falls, Idaho) 1907-1937, 1916-11-30

sharply for the trade we now enjoy
with the neutral countries of Europe
and South America.
Two factors account for the $780,
O00,0 0 increase of imports this year.
The war has brought increased indus
trial efficiency to Europe and Japan
and the enactment of the free trade
Underwood tariff law gave the for
eigners easy entrance to the markets
of the United States So long as the
war goes on we can very well bear a
tariff for revenue only, for American
workmen who are displaced when we
buy manufactures abroad which might
better be bought at home, now find
employment In munition works and
factories turning out other war sup-
plies.
Blu when the war is over those
workmen will be out OF jobs. They
must then turn to factories engaged
In pursuits OF peace and those fac
tories will have to compete with the
cheap labor OF Europe and Asia. II
they are closed dow in the unequal
contest, or. II they run on short time
and with diminished output, workmen
Will he thrown out OF employment. and
when a large number OF w~age-earners
are idle the merchants find that their
business falls off and collections come
hard.
At the same time our farmers will
find that with the return Of millions
OF soldiers to the soil will come a
diminished European call for food
products from the United States, Can
ada, Australia and South America. The
result will be heavy and increasing
importations OF wheat. corn, butter
i've stock, meats and fruits from Can
ada, Australia and South America.
The Spokesman-Review Is not re-
preaching those w%orkingmen and
farmers who voted for Mr.. Wilson. II
is simply doing what II can toward
looking prudently and inteIliRently to
the future. II the conclusions are
sound which IL has drawn from ac-
knowledged facts-if the vision
glimpsed by business and Industrial
authorities in this country and Europe
is true-this country can not begin too
soon the vital work OF putting its
fences in MISREPRESENTATION

demns 1t In Another.

l am here at Nashville attend
ing the meeting of the Public
| School Officers Association. 1t is
said that this is the largest and
best meeting this Association has
ever had.
Judging from the report of the
various County Superintendents
over the state, think Marion
County is above the average
county in the state in many re-
spects.
| have just read your article in
last weeks News relative to the
meeting of the road commission
ers at Whitwell, and am pleased
to note what you say about the
bond issue. You have been right
all the time, in my opinion, in re-
gard to the burdensome taxation
in Marion County but wrong as
to the remedy.
It has never occurred to me that
it is the part of wisdom to drag
through the mud, over hills, hol-
lows, rocks, and ruts simply be-
cause somebody has failed to pay
his just part of the taxes.
think it better for the people
and newspapers Of Marion County
to oct behind our tax assessors
and equalization boards and see
that we get just and equitable
assessment on all property
in the county.
When this is done, | believe
that the tax rate in Marion County
will be considerably lower than it
was before the bonds were issued.
While there may be a difference
of opinions as to the proper rout-
ing of the Dixie Highway, every
one must concede that the route,
as laid out by the Dixie Highway
Commissioners, will accommodate
more people in Marion County
than any other route mentioned.
Since the bonds are issued and
will be sold, let us all assist the
Road Commissioners in every way
we can, and see that every foot of
road that can possibly be built
with the amount of money avail
able is done.
We have a splendid Board of
Commissioners, and | do not be-
lieve that any CRATER need apply.

YEARS BUSINESS OF
COUNTY CREAMERY

Winchester, Tenn, Jan. 49,
The annual meeting of Frank
lin County Creamery Association
has just been held here. The fig.
ures given out showed an increase
of Al per cent over 1914-an in
crease from $50, 900 to $75, 900,
an increase from ITO patrons to
180. In 1914 the total amount
of butter manufactured was
lao, 600 pounds, while the report
for 1915 showed the sales to
have been 225,O00 pounds. The
average price paid to patrons for
butter fat in 1914 was 81 cents,
and 80 cents during 1916. The
year just closed marked the
lowest price to which butter fat
has gone since the creamery be-
gan lLS operation.
The election of officers for the
ensuing year resulted as follows:
J. O. Templeton, president; F.
E. Pittinger, secretary and treas
urer, w. J. Arnold, w. l. Lips
comb, and Joe F. Scharber, direc-
tors, who, with the president and
secretary, comprise the executive
board.
1t is the hope of the manage
ment to increase the business to
100000 during 1916, and every
thing points to the most success
full year in the history of the
crea merry.

Carl McCampbell disappeared

trial was circumstantial but un-
