Heavy taxes for every acre o.
arabic land not put to the production
of food is proposed in a bill prepared
by Representative Randall of Cali
fornia Randall proposes to tax
very acre of tillable, but untitled
land, $500, and every implanted
city lot $1.o0, the taxes to go toware
the support of the war. The govern,
ment would gain revenue and in
crease the food supply, he thinks.
This is a step in the right direction
but $500 an acre sounds pretty high.
But there should be regulation
which would prevent anyone from
holding land merely for speculative
purposes, whether in. city or country
Also. there should be law absolute
ly forbidding anyone not full fed
ged citizen of the United States from
owning any real estate within the

Of our country to handle all the
available land, provided it is put

AUTocRAT OF THE SCHOOLS
Ex-Teacher Writes or Conditions.
Brought About BY P4escnt
System.


To the Editor: have been in
terested in several articles published
in regard to public school teachers
resigning their schools In order to
take up other work at higher sal
aries. Having been one Of those
teachers who resigned, and in close
touch with other members of the
profession, / am in a position to
know the real reason why SO many
teachers have derided to make 2
change. While higher salaries ma
have influenced some teachers to de
part for other fields of labor, think
It safe to say the majority of thoss
who resigned did so because the
we're opposed to the school law
which was passed at the last session
of the legislature.
The county boards OF education
are appointed by the Governor, and
no one can deny that the majority o
these receive their appointment as
reward for PARTY fealty, without an,
regard to their fitness for the office
"a great many of them being practi
cally without any knowledge OF
school matters.
From this county board the super
intendent Of schools receives his ap
pointment, and, under the new law
the superintendent is given full and
absolute control over the schools and
the teachers in his county. He re
commends to the county board all
teachers for appointment, has thu
power to assign teachers to thei
positions in the schools, transfe
them from one school to another an
if he so desires, to suspend them Q
recommend them for dismissal.
We speak today Of autocracy. Fla
not the county superintendent Of
schools been created an autocrat il
his own particular sphere? If We
top to consider, does it not seen
strange that such wide power
should be given to one person recei'
ng his appointment from the source
mentioned? We read OF Mr.. Ste
fphens viewing the situation with
great concern, teachers constantly
resigning, and no applicants fol
schools. Well, he may do 50, foi
our public school teachers, trained
as they are, and we'll fitted for othe
positions, are not a superb bunch 0
idiots that will sit quietly down and
submit to their rights being unjustl
taken away from them.

FARMERS LIBERTY LOAN.
Another Issue To Be Made Next
Suring.

Spring.
The third Liberty loan, which will
be known as the farmers ISSUE"
will be foated with the return of
warm weather. according to plans
perfected by Secretary of the Treas
ury McAdoo and his advisors, who
believe that much better results will
be obtained than by a midwinter
flotation. The drive will be directed
especially into the small towns and
farming communities of the United
States, where the financial heads of
the nation have reason to believe
there is more money than in a gen
Grafton past The farmers issue"
also will be the biggest amount so
far put out, aggregating $685.
233,850; OF a total of $4,000, 000,-
600 to be absorbed before June 80.
The farmers, therefore, will be ex-
pected to subscribe literally to the
next war loan. At any rate he will
have very special opportunity to
show his patriotism, just as soon as
winter ends and the country roads
are in condition to facilitate the
canvass.

Don't Sell Your Liberty Bonds

Don't Sell Your Liberty Bonds.
Secretary McAdoo has authorized
the following statement:
''It has been brought to my at
tention that numbers of merchants
throughout the country are offering
to take Liberty Loan Bonds of the
first and second issue at par, or even
in some cases at premium, in ex-
change for merchandise. While
have no doubt that these merchants
are actuated by patriotic motives,
am sure that they have failed to con-
slider the effect which the acceptance
of their offers would have upon the
situation. We are making the
strongest effort to have. these Gov
eminent Bonds purchased for per-
manent investment by the people at
large. to be paid for out Of the past
or future savings Of those who buy
them. Purchases thus made not
only result in providing funds for the
uses Of the Government, but they

and material. When the Bonds are
exchanged for merchandise, it de-
feats the primary object or their
sale, it discourages thrift and in
creases expenditures, thus depriving
the Government of labor and ma
terial needed for war purposes. In
addition to this, such bonds when
taken in exchange for merchandise
must in most cases be Immediately
sold in the open market. This
naturally tends to depress the mar
ket price of the issue and makes
it less easy to sell future issues at
the same rate.
IT hope that the merchants of the
country, upon careful consider
alton of this subject, will discontinue
their efforts to sell merchandise and
take Liberty Bonds in payment"
