three years it has more than trebled in
enrolment and attendance. We now
have an area Of Sc square miles, popu-
latiQn over 1900, and assessed valua-
tion Of near one and one-Quarter mill
lions. Our school has literally out
grown its home Every grade room is
crowded Rooms 1, ? and 8 each has
double the number it should have. Two
new teachers must be added for next
year. Our people are planning new
building to provide the extra rooms.
It is predicted in three years more we
shall have 500 in school with a high
school Of 100 or more. A good school,
second to none, is our ambition. Our
children and their education is our
first interest.

Wilson Presses
Senate to Ratify
Colombia Treaty
Democratic Caucus De.
cides to Push Agreement
to a Vote

Washington. March l2.-President
Wilson to-day sent for Senator Martin,
Of Virginia, Democratic leader OF the
upper house. and insisted that the Co
lombisn treaty be ratified before the
adjournment Of the special session Of
the Senate. Mr.. Martin communicated
this wish 70 the Democratic caucus,
which Immediately decided to push the
treaty to a vote IL possible. Chairman
Stone then called meeting Of the
Foreign Relations Committee FOR to-
morrow morning with a view to report
ing the treaty.
In February, 1916, the treaty was re-
ported by the committee to the Senate,
but last Tuesday the Senate referred
the treaty back 70 the committee, so
that a report must be made before the
Senate can act
The situation just now is that the
treaty is on the bargain counter and II
Il is marked down enough II can be
ratified. II the price is held up there
will be no sale. The price in this IN
stance is not only the amount OF money
involved, but the terms of the apology
clause.
Even II all the Democrats vote 20
ratify the treaty there will not be the
necessary two-thirds majority unless
approximately ten Republicans vote for
il. In the Republican camp are two
elements, one Of which is desperately
opposed 70 the treaty under any terms
or conditions, and the other is willing
10 swallow il IL the price 10 cut con-
sideraoly and the apology is eliminated.
Provisions of Treaty
As the treaty now stands, in commit.

the committee last year changed the

The governments Of the United
States and Colombia. wishing 70 put at
rest all controversies and differences
between them arising out Of the events
from which the present situation on
the Isthmus Of Panama resulted, ex-

Washington, March 12.-Apparently
there is 10 be no Difference TO Hiram
Johnson by the Republican organization
in the Senate. Just about the proper
number Of committee vacancies were
reserved for him. but apparently in as
signing them the Republican steering
committee could not rid itself Of the
idea that perhaps II Johnson had really
worked Hughes might have carried
California and been elected.
Following are the vacancies reserved
for him: Woman Suffrage, Philippines
Irrigation and Reclamation Of Arid
Lands, immigration, FISHERIES, Tom,

Civil Service and Retrenehment
Of these, just two are generally con
sdered good - Commerce and Phliip-
mines The Commerce Committee, how
ever. has been stripped Of It's imPor-
lance BIZ the anti-pork crusades. Inc
phiiippinesCo has been virtually
stripped Of its excuse for existence by
the passage Of the Philippines bill last
wear. Il did not have meeting last
session, and probably will not for sew
eral more years. The immigration Com
mittee is in the same category with the
Philippines. II may not hold another
meeting for years.
The Woman Suffrage Committee. Of
course. will report out the Susan b.
Anthony amendment at the next ses-
sion. but the committee has virtually
no discretion. Incidentally. another
new Senator. A. A. Jones, Of New Mex
leo. is mode chairman Of that COM
mittee.
All other vacancies which have been
left for him are on joke committees,
designed only 70 afford clerk hire and

bills are referred 20 them.

u. S. Will Raise
S3O0,000,00 on
New Income Tax
Two and a Half Times 1916
Total; Internal Reve-
nue., $500, O0O,0 900

Washington, March 12.-Prelminary
reports to the Treasury Department
from every section Of the country
since March l indicate that the gov
eminent will collect 100000, 900 in
income taxes during the current fiscal
year, or about two and a half times
as much as during the preceding
twelve months. In all the internal
revenue receipts are expected 20 ex-
coed 500. 900, 900, an increase Of nearly
5000. 100000.
The time for fling income returns
expired March !. but all the totals have
not yet been tabulsted. Most Of the
increase is due 10 the higher rate of
taxation provided for by Congress last
September
Included in this total are collections
actually made up 10 the present, sg-
gregating about s25, 100000. This is
100000 more than was collected
this time last year.
In addition. the tax on munitions
will net approximately s40,000,00O. II
is thought, while for the few months
Of the fiscal year during which the
former emergency tax law was in
effect the returns will approximate
s25,000,000 on miscellaneous items
affected BY this tax.
From the ordinary sources of inter
nal revenue whiskey, beer, tobacco
and oleomargarine- is estimated
that the tax this year will approximate
1885,, 900 ,000,. the greatest total in the
history Of the department
The Supreme Courts recent dee sion
sustaining the Webb-Kenyon law will
cause a diminution. it is assumed. in
the returns from whiskey and beer,
although thus far the tax collected is
considerably higher than last year. A
total OF 1907, 100000 has been col
lected from internal revenue taxes Of
all sorts from the beginning of the
fiscal year up 70 the present. This is
approximately s25,00O,O0O more than
last wear.

Legislature to Act
On Drive Problem
Governor About to Call Con-
ference to Plan
Settlement

Albany, March 12.-The Legislature
is expected TO formulate some measure
in the near future looking toward a
final settlement of the West Side-New
York Central problem. Senator Elon K.
Brown. majority leader, told Controller
William A. Prendergast to-day that the
Governor was about TO call confer
ence of the legislative leaders to de-
termine what course should be pursued.
The Controller discussed the West
Side matter with Senator Brown and
the Governor. Il IS presumed here that
the city authorities arc willing now
that a legislative investigation or some
ether step should be undertaken. The
Drive problem is being used primarily
for partisan political purposes here
a. well as in New York City.
