An Unfair Law

Baxter this year has one pupil
10 the county high school 1t
Columbus.
Baxter paid last year $s2z Il
in taxes toward the support OF
the county high school.
Over eight hundred dollars
a year for one pupil makes educa'
ton come high. And meanwhile
because Of the drain on the tax
payers from the out side, Baxter
has been obliged to deprive it,
children of the privilege OF =
full high school course.
Right now there are over oO
oupils in the Baxter high school
Unless we are able to add the
fourth year these will have to
Quit school without . full high
school education; or their parents
will be put to 4 big expense to send
Them away. Few will be able to
do that.
Paying taxes toward q high
school that cannot be OF benefit
to the community 10 all wrong.
Il is unfair and the Law that re-
Quires it ought to be repealed.
A determined effort to have 1t
repealed 10 now being made.
Baxt .r is intensely interested in
the outcome. Walter Apple went
TO Topeka Tuesday to represent
Baxter in the fight, numerous
other towns likewise situated,
are making to have the county
high school law 90 amended as
to exempt from having to help
support it, all cities that main
tain full four year high schools
of their own. We hope Mr.
Apple and his fellow workers
will be successful.

Commercial Club

Town Builder
When q town 10 like . cows

needs 4 Commercial Club.
No town that aspireS to DO
THINGS can afford to be with
out 4 good, live Commercial Club
or some similar organization.
The Commercial Club 10 to the
town what the aggressive adveT.
tisement 10 to the business NAM.
il puts all of the telling points
prominently before the prospec'
tive customer.
A live club never sleeps. 1t 10
always alive to the possibility OF
adding another citizen and an
other enterprise to the commun.
ity, And that 10 what builds
your towu..-the adding, one BY
one, of people and enterprises.
Men who DO THINGS--'live
wires-..do not locate in 4 town
unless there are inducements.
That 10 the one great work Of
your Commercial Club-'-to create
inducements; to bring about con-
ditious that will attract desirable
enterprises and desirable citizens.
Manufacturers, dealers, busi'
ness men are constantly on the
alert for LIVE towns in which
to locate their enterprises.
In the great majority of cases
these enterprises are largely de-
pendent on the cooperation and
encouragement Of the citizenship
of the town and surrounding
country for support. If that 10
given, the town adds the pro-
posed enterprise to its list. If Il
is withheld, the enterprise passes
BY and goes to the town that
does cooperate and support.
But just getting together and
organizing 4 Commercial Club
and then becoming absorbed in
our own affairs 10 not going to
turn the trick.
Baxter at present has q 90
called Commercial Club, but IL 10
not receiving any support what
ever from our business men.

ing its president has worked
hard In the performance of his
duties.
No Commercial Club can put .
town on the map without the
hearty cooperation of the citizen
ship Of the town and countryside.
Not only should every enter
prising man be an active member.
bat each should consider himself
personally pledged to uphold the
organization in every way.
Just . concrete illustration:
A citizen Of the town Of 8. -.
and one from the town Of c. ....
are Converting with q chance
travelling acquaintance. The
traveller mentions that he is de-
sirous Of locating q site for
manufacturing plant. The man
from Sea-. passes the remark
By % Of no concern to him, bu,
the man from Co... at once
scents 4 prospective enterprise
for his own town. He engages
the prospect in conversation,
gets his plans and 4 knowledge
of his requirements, takes his
address and upon returning home
puts the matter up to his homf
Commercial Club. The prospect
10 communicated with and found
to be worthy. Inducements are
offered which he accepts, and
soon c .....numbeTs one more
enterprise.
But s. had the same OPP
portunity, only her representative
was asleep.
This 10 not an imaginary case
II 10 happening every day, and
all over the land.
The business that is worth
having 10 worth getting out and
b ustliuR for. and without huStl.
ing there 10 little or no business
Business 10 not conducted in
graveyards-..they are places OF
rest.
The town that 10 big enough, "
whose citizens can see nothing
more to be achieved, soon finds
itself growing like the cows
tail..-down hill.
The town that doesn't get out
and hustle TOR new enterprises
will aoou find itself wondering
what has become of those it had.
Now just what are we doing TO
put this town on the map?
Better still aud more pertinent to
the question. What are You
doing?
One man can't do it.-.two men
can't do il Even the Commerciai
Club can't do it unless backed up
and supported BY solid commun-
| itv sentiment that spells PRO
GRESS il box car letters.
Our own actions will tell
whether we are citizens of town
