Many Trained Soldiers.

Elk River Sentinel: There is con-
siderable speculation in various parts
of the country as to whether, in the
evert of active land war the United
States could depend upon the enlist
ment of the enormous numbers of for
eigners who have had army service
at home.
In the civil war the Irish and the
Germans furnished proportion of the
northern armies much greater than
their proportion of the total popula-
ton and rendered excellent service.
1t is said that during the entire
war Irish-born soldiers and those of
Irish parentage numbered about L.
100, 600 and German about 500, 600.
Since then most immigrants except
English, Irish and Scotch have come
from countries in which army training
is general and would make a large
body of trained troops if they care to
serve and the government cares to
have them.
Taking this region as a sample 1t
seems likely that virtually all can be
depended upon by the United States
for war in its own defense or for it's
own interests.
An Elk River man was making a
rough calculation last fall of the mum
Der of men within twenty miles of
,hr La,
European army and have a thorough
knowledge of drill and discipline.
He placed it as about 200 then, al
though somewhat less now.
According to his calculations about
sc Greeks, 20 Bulgars and the same
number of Servians left Elk River
and vicinity for the first Balkan war
of four or five years ago. Most have
come back to this country, although
probably only few to this region,
but the others Of the same nationality
all have the same army experience.
The Italians living here have also
mostly done their time with the
colors and so have the Austrians.
Add to this few French and Ger
mans and fair sprinkling of Rus
slams and quite number of Norwe-
gians and Swedes and it is seen that
the figure of 200 seems conservative.
How many of these would enlist
for the war?
From talks with quite few it is
probable that virtually all but some
socialists who have an almost relig-
ious objection to war in general would
enlist for the benefit of the United
States although none with expert
ence are war enthusiasts. The Aus
trians, Germans, Greeks and Bulgar-
ians would not turn hand over to
helpp England and would not be ex-
pected to. The Scandinavians are
very partial in their European prefer
ences and the others support their
own people.
So it may be said that almost all
the foreign-born Americans in and
around Elk River who have had army
experience and are not hindered by
dependents or physical defect will en-
list for the benefit of the United
States if needed; none will enlist for
fun or excitement.

CONDEMNS THEIR OWN CRUISE.

Assessor Hinckley is condemned by
the Orofino Tribune for assessing
timber according to the Nease cruise,
a thing the Tribune crowd arranged
for, and which cost the people, a
goodly sum. The Tribune now says
the Nease cruise is rotten; that it
does not show anything like the tim
Der on the land cruised by Nease under
the supervision of the Orofino Tribune
crowd. The record shows that As
SCISSOR Hinckley has assessed timber
higher than it was ever assessed in
the history of the county, the timber
companies paying 10 per cent of all
county taxes in 1916. But what does
l. X. Crow care for facts, county
records, or the truth? In 1914, under
a democratic assessor, timber COM
panies paid SO per cent. of the Clear
water county taxes. Mr.. Hinckley
was elected and in 1915 timber COM
panies paid 81 per cent. of Clearwater
county taxes. Last year, 1916, under
Mr.. Hinckley, timber companies paid
70 per cent of the taxes. In other
words, under P. H. Blake timber
paid $63 out of every 500 of county
taxes. In 1916, under Mr.. Hinckley,
whom l. r. Grow is pleased to label
timber tool, timber companies
paid $40 out of every 500 of county
taxes.

minors, having heretofore filed in this
court his petition duly verified praying
for an order to sell real estate belong
ing to the estate of the said minors
for the purposes and for the reasons
therein set forth.
1t is therefore ordered that the next
of kin and all persons interested in
the estate of the said minors, appear
before the said Probate Court on the
23rd. day of April, A. D., 1917, at
the hour of ten o'clock A. M. of said

(a) Sec. l29m. The first provis-
ion refers to the special tax which
may be levied for maintaining gym
nasium. At present this tax is
limited only by the provision that
the grand total district tax may not
exceed 20 mills. This means that it
would be legally impossible for some
districts to levy 10 mills for the sup
port of gymnasium. This bill
limits the gymnasium tax absolutely
to maximum of one mill.
The amendment also cuts out GER
tain complicated provisions which are
of no real value and have already
given rise to legal conflicts.
(b) Sec. 1890. The second pro-
vision allows independent districts to
levy over the maximum Of ten mills
up to Is mills with the approval Of
the State Board of Education.
(c) Sec. l29aa. This provision
was passed in 1913, but owing to con-
fict with other bills has been declared
by the courts of non effect. 1t at
tempted to change the number of
teachers required to constitute an in
dependent district Glass AZ from
35 to 20.
The educational system has been
running on this basis for three years
and this amendment is included
simply to validate the intention of
the Legislature in 1918 and the actual
conditions now existing.
SENATE BILL No. 1877.
The present laws contain mass of
ambiguous and conflicting provisions
concerning the qualifications of voters
at school elections. After the most
thoro study of this question with the
aid of county superintendent, school,
trustees. and legal advice, this act is
submitted, which clears up the whole
matter and reduces it to absolute
simplicity; the new provisions are as
follows:
~ All persons over the age of
twenty-one who have resided in the
district where they offer to vote at
least thirty days immediately pre-
ceeding the election and who are:
(a) freeholders, including both
husband and wife when the freehold
is community property; or,
tb) parents having children under
twenty-one years of age.
SENATE BILL No. ITO.
This is probably the most far
reaching measure in the educational
field. 1t has an exceedingly inter-
esting history for the bill as passed
is radically different from the origi-
nal, attic aimed to solve the same
problem
In its first form the bill provided
two contrasting courses of study, one
for the rural population, seven
months year for ten years, the other
for centers of population nine months
year for eight years.
1t also provided in all districts,
both common and independent, that
the board should fix the length of
term, thus repeating the present min
imum of nine months for large dis
trlcts.
The new bill makes no change in
the law as to school term. but calls
for (D course of fundamentals for
minimum term schools and e. COM
mission to study the whole problem of
the curriculum and work of schools.
