Mr.. G. R. Brownell
Writes on the Pro-
posed Bond Issue
Suggests That $4,000 the
Amount .Recommnded Be
Increased to $65,OOO

In yesterdays Daily Review I
noticed our School Building Com
mittee recommended a bond issue
of $4,000 to enlarge our school
facilities in order that the criminal
packing of our children into made
quate quarters may be discontinued
and normal school conditions may
prevail. If within the range of rea-
sonable effort, no good citizen will
say it should not be done, and be-
lieve that we have a large majority
of good citizens in Morgan City
School District who are not only
willing but anxious to do their share
towards giving the children reason
ably comfortable and roomy school
quarters in which to pursue their
studies and fit themselves for the
duties of life and future citizenship.
The children are helpless and en-
tirely dependent upon the parents
and good citizens to protect them
and provide for them. Will we do
it? /, for one, say, yes. To say that
we cant is weak, foolish and selfish;
to say that we wont is criminal. So
as good citizens we must do it.
In my opinion, the amount pro-
posed is too little. We should have
at least $65,OOO. The building we
al -
quite, $4,000, and the site was
donated. In this new case, l can see
no ground for hope that such will
be done.
Building material Of all kind has
increased in value, also labor is
close to 25 per cent higher than at
the time when the present building
was built. This increase in cost will
call for the extra $4,000 of the
$4,000 and consequently do no
more than was done with the for
mer issue of $4,000. The new
building should be larger than the
one we now have which is adequate !
for less than half Of the children
now in the district. So it seems clear
to me that we should have a larger
bond issue to carry out our wishes
and provide what is really neces-
sary.
l am no advocate for high tax
rate except for such items as are
absolutely essential to our progress
in keeping peace with other commu-
mites in those essentials of conven-
fences, comfort and preparedness
for good citizenship and the future
welfare of our children.
There will be no grating with
this committee. My dollar will be
accounted for and we shall
need every dollar of a $4,000 bond
issue, and hope the committee
may ask it.

CHILE PLOTTING TO
BRING ABOUT WAR
IN SOUTH AMERICA

Buenos Aires, April 21.-A diplomatic
uproar that resounded throughout the
South American continent tonight re-
suited from publication in the weekly
newspaper Revista Of an article in
sisting that Chile was making over
lures to Peru for war on Bolivia.
The article was by ]. Aime Molins.
one of the foremost authorities on
South American internationalism. It
asserted that part of TariJa province
was the prize sought in the Chilean
overtures and pointed out that mas
much as North American capital was
building a new railroad in Tarija any
war involving that province would
mean transfer, of Bolivia's present
commercial dependency from Chile to
Argentine. Bolivia now has no sea-
board outlet and her traffic, for the
post part, goes via Chile. The new
railroad would divert this to Argen-
tine. "
Students of South American affairs
agreed with Molins tonight and de-
clared their belief that Chile would
be ready to put her plan into effect
just as soon as Argentine became in
volved in the war against Germany
just as soon, in fact. as she becomes
too busy with international affairs to
handle situation near at home.

But the gathering years have tenn

let passed through a militiamah's hat.
The assailant at the machine shop
flashed light on the guardsman in
side and opened fire. In both attacks
the soldiers returned the fire but their
assailants escaped.
Soldiers on guard at railroad bridges
in Diagonal. Ia, telephoned national
guard headquarters here that they were
