EXTRA
TAX TO KEEP
SCHOOLS OPEN
State Superintendent Shaw
key Notifies All Board Of
Education.

In order that no school In West
Virginia may be closed short OF the
minimum term Of six months this
year Superintendent Morris P, Shaw
kew of the state department of
schools has sent to boards of edu-
cation an urgent recommendation
that these boards, where a necessity
exists therefor lay so much as may
be necessary of the extra levy of five
cents on the 500 valuation authoriz-
ed by the last legislature.
1t is the opinion of the states chief
school officer that these boards may
not provide for less than six months
terms unless they have first exhaust
ed every source of revenue, including
the extra levy for which provision has
thus been made.
Ninety districts, it was said at the
department of schools today, Will
need to take advantage of the new
proyision, it being the opinion OF
superintendent Shawkey that the
state supplementary fund will not
meet over fifty per cent OF the
amount that will be demanded.
~ recommend" said Mr.. Shaw
kew that You count on fifty per sent
Of YOUR needs to be supplied from the
supplementary fund and that you lay
Of The extra five cents enough to meet
the other fifty per cent of the amount
needed a.. ,.o,,,.
valuation is 100000 and that you
are requesting $500 from the supple
mcntary fund. You would be able TO
get s46O from the supplementary
fund, and a four-cent levy would pro-
duce the other $500"
This levy, said shawkey, must be
laid on the fourth Tuesday IN Ag-
Eust when the other levies are laid'
else it cannot be laid at all.
Several schools were closed last
wear short of the minimum term con-
templated by the school laws and II
is the intention of the department
to see that this is not done this year
"Failure, however" says MI
shawkey, was not, in my opinion. In
territorial on the part of anyone. me
department this year simply desires
to show the boards Of education no"
to work out the problem"

by parties, the selection of men to
judicial position through the medium
of political parties seems unavoid-
able. Hence | am the candidate OF
the Republican party and must look
primarily to the members thereof FOR
successful outcome Of my candi-
dacy. IT, however, by the aid OF my
fellow Republicans. supplemented by
that OF Independent voters, who have
come to WELD a pNent power in pol
itics, should be chosen to preside
over the criminal court of this coun-
ty, it shall then be my chief concern
to perform the task at hand honest7
ly and fearless. wholly without re-
gard to the men who and the party
which stands sponsor for me on this
occasion. 1t shall be my prime pUr-
pose to hear the differences be-
tween my brethren and Judge right
eously the cause between each man
and his brother and the stranger is
with them.
FINALLY, Mr.. Chairman, the ques-
ton OF compelling interest is, shall
we win the conflict for which we are
now buckling on the armor? While
l do not pose as a prophet firmly
believe, my friends, that victory
awaits us, but in expressing that be
lief, | would not have us underrate
the steel of our adversaries. Fear
less and courageous men are to be
found in the ranks of our political
foes, and it but fair to assume that
in selecting their standard bearers
they choose their wisest and most
trusted counselors. Furthermore
their leaders are imbued with tho
conviction that their cause is just,
and inspired with that belief, they
do battle worthy the sword of he
70. ConCeding, therefore, that the
conflict which confronts us demands
the united effort of our combined
forces, assert again that after the
smoke of battle shall have cleared
away in November, we shall be in
complete control of what is today dis
puted ground. The American eagle,
proud emblem of our party, will be
perched upon the capital at Wash
ington, signalling the return to ma
tlonal power of the party OF Lincoln,
Garfield and Mckinley party
which must endure for it symboli2es
a government of the people, by the
people and for the people.
