GOOD REASONS WHY MR..
TAYLOR SHOULD BE-
SUPERINTENDENT

The editor of The Review is still
snrmly convinced that the city coun-
Gil should give Principal A. A. Tay-
ior the superintendency of the city
schools next year. He has been
identified with. the schools the past
several years and fits into the work
with a nicely.
There has been some talk of the
lateness of the time in which to Sc
cure an outsider this year and this
IS the main reason why Mr.. Taylor
should be given the job aud not try
to experiment with a new man from
"a smaller town or a smaller job.
high Point schools are too big for
that. Could any superintendent get
more out Of the schools next year
than Mr.. Taylor We think not.
They are for him as body regard
less OF a few exceptions. We have
changed too much in the past for
the good of our schools. We should
try and see how LONG we could
keep a GOOD man and not how
QUICKLY we could dispose of him. If
the same teacher had charge of
pupil from the primary grade until
graduation day the pupil would grad
uate a year earlier. BY the time
they learn each other change is
made. that is the pupil goes to a
higher grade and d new teacher.
Just so with our superintendents;
by the time good work is started for
one reason or the other new man
is put Oh the job. Mr.. Taylor is not
a new man and would ft in per-
fectly.
We also should look to furnishing
the school children with books and
cut out this foolish extravaganza of
a new book every week and a COM
plete change every year or so.

Another still Captured

formerly owned by H. A. Mills, two
miles east of Jamestown near the
highway. The 4O-gaIlon still and
other apparatus, together with three
gallons of ''singlings" we're brought
back to the city but the distillers
escaped. Some 900 gallons of beer
was destroyed. The blockaders eVi-
IDENTIFY expected trouble for the fol-
lowing notes were found posted in a
conspicuous place: please take this
one out of your way" and the other
read: You can have the rest. Good
bye, am going. A. Y" A run of
spirits was in progress when the
officers arrived which they finished,
then cleaned up the premises and
returned to the city. This makes the
third raid on bIockaders in the sur
rounding territory the past week.
There seems to be plenty of liquor
in circulation these days.

TAXES RAISED SKYWARD
BY CITY COUNCIL.
Property Tax Goes From
S1.5Oto $1.9Oon the $1OO
Valuation and Poll Tax
From $3.50 to $3.50
About 80 Per Cent. In
crease on Property.

AT Tuesday nights meeting of the
city council new tax rate was fixed
for High Point and as a result we
probably lead all North Carolina
Cities in tax rate. In fact a while
hack only one city matched us then
and that was Asheville but we now
probably leave that resort town in
the shade in placing the property
rate at s1.9O on the 500 valuation.
Greensboro, Winston, Raleigh, Con-
cord, Monroe, Fayetteville. Sails
bury, Gastonia and every city,
LARGER or smaller, has a lower tax
rate (without these cities have
changed their rate since we last
looked over the list.
We suppose the council found it
imperative to raise the rate to meet
expenses, but 4Oc on the 500 is a
mighty big raise all at once.
Looking at the matter in gen
eral way the high tax rate is not cal
cuIated to cause property to be de-
Jfeloped as it should and prospectors
SHE away from high taxes. With
the valuation placed upon close-in
property and the high tax rate peo-
pie will not be very eager to own
property.
The revenue from taxes. white and
colored, is approximately $4,000,
which with water and lights and
special taxes will run the grand to-
tai up to something like $l75,0O0 a
year. OF course all of this is not
collected. But figuring on basis of
S150,000 the new tax rate should
add more than 100000 a year to the
city treasury. 1t may take it. We
haven't the time this morning to
delve further into the matter and 20
verify every figure exactly. :.

quered, he has GOT to be brought to
his knees as a supplicant for mercy,
otherwise he will clgi ne has been
successful and there is no telling
what the result might be, and our
boys know this and will see to it
that he gets no possible chance to
get in any of his "kultur" on US
good people.
AS Liberty is the predominating
spirit behind all our activities. it is
easy to see what prominent place
Liberty takes in our national affairs
We may be slow to anger and plen-
teous in mercy, but even such good
qualities when overstrained may
cease to be virtue. And then the
dogs of war are turned loose and
there is something doing. The kai-
ser has gone the limit and he will
get his.
Any thoughtful person who reads
the history of Germany or even the
literature of Germany cannot help
but realize that Germanys ambition
is to dominate the earth. There is
no question about that. Neither is -
there any question but that, Ger.
many is solely responsible for this
war, at least the kaiser is. Other
people may have wanted it but he
could have prevented it, and he not
only didn't do it but he failed to do
it intentionally. He had the best
opportunity in the world to at least
postpone it if not to entirely prevent
it. He failed to take advantage of
it. He wanted the war because he
is the ruler and the emperor of a
predatory nation which fully expect
ed to profit by the war for which he
had been preparing for 40 years.
Germany must be conquered. If
she is permitted to continue her ca
,reer of crime and spoliation of other
nations solely on the theory that
might makes right there is no tell
ing to what extent she would 90 to
satisfy her craving desire for world
supremacy, but one thing the foxy
kaiser forgot to take into account
he forgot your Uncle Sammy. He
had no idea that he could and would
raise an army and build a navy,
complete in every detail, send three
million well equipped men across
the sea under our own steam, and
turn all his cherished ambitions into
a mid summer nights dream. He
knows it now, he will realize it later
and when he sees the stars and
stripes floating over Berlin with
Liberty perched at the flagstaff sum-
NIT, then and only then will he be-
lieve that he is down and out with
no home, NO friends. no country; all
brought about by a selfish and un-
reasonable desire for more than his
share. And when our boys are thru
with him he will have no use for
home or country, and he will pass
into history as the most brutal and
atrociOus ruler who ever guided the
destiny of nation.

STEAMER ALASKA
 IS DUE TONIGHT

The steamer Alaska with the barge Elk in tow is reported to have passed Tolovana at 2 o'clock this morning and may be expected to arrive here some time tonight. She will wash boilers here and will sail for Whitehorse, on her last trip for the season, twenty-four hours after time of arrival in Nenana. All the passenger accommodations on this steamer have been sold with the exception of one berth for a lady.
 Considerable delay appears to have been experienced by the vessel and her tow at the mouth of the Kantishna river, owing to the very low stage of the water in this neighborhood. The steamer was able to get over the shallow place, but the heavily laden barge Elk

 Immediately after the show a dance was to be given the boys at the Labor Union Hall and hurried arrangements were made for the necessary music, which was on hand at the hall. Owing to the fact that the arrangements for holding a dance was taken in hand rather late in the day, the attendance at the function, especially the ladies, was rather poor.

I0LOVANA LAUNCH
 IN FROM BROOKS

The launch Helen M., under chart CT to Carl White, arrived in Nenana late yesterday evening after an unusually long trip from the Tolo- vana country. She left Brooks on the 27th of last month, and owing to the difficulties and dangers of navigation on the Tolovana river during the dark hours, the launch tied up to the bank as soon as dark ness fell on the land. The very low stage of water on both the Tolovana and the Panama rivers also considerably delayed the boat,
 She landed the following pass engers at the mouth of the Tolo- vana river: Mrs. and Mrs. Charles Craig, Mrs. Stoner and James Nichols. Mrs. Bustrom was the only passenger for Nenana, while those in transit for Fairbanks were Mrs. Jacobsen, Mrs. Gibbs, Miss Lillian

FINANCES OF TOWN
 MAKE FINE SHOWING

The townsite manager furnishes the following statement of townsite affairs, which is If interest to all residents of Nenana.
 ;! It indicates that the financial situation regarding assessments is much better than was supposed. And it puts an entirely different com plexion on the matter of prices paid for lots at the original sale. We all know that those prices were too high, but as we are now assured that fifty per cent of the sale price is to be returned as a credit against charges for improve ments of all kinds, it becomes ap- parent that the virtual effect of this is to reduce the sale price by fifty ! per cent.
 In other words, fifty per cent of all money paid for lots goes to pay the Alaskan Engineering Commis- sion for money expended by them for various improvements.
 It will take several weeks for the townsite manager to prepare a new 1 assessment based roundly on the statement below; and until that is entirely finished it will be impossible to say just how any particular lot stands as to payments.
 In the district directly served by water and sewer systems there may be some additional charges, as no water or sewer assessments have as yet been levied. For the balance of the town there will be no assessment against any lot on which the assessments levied are paid to date, until July or { August, 1919.
 To date there is yet unpaid, of assessments levied, $5,635.14.
 The lots on which this amount is owed will have to pay their share of the new assessment. But it is bound to be less than the total of the old levies.
 The new assessment roll will cover the following items: $1O per lot for the original clearing in 1916; TOWNSHIP 1 Total expenditures by the Alaskan I exclusive of the School Building
 (The School Building has beer kan Engineering Commission Fifty Percent Fund, therefore

operation and maintenance for the year ending June 30, 1917; opera tion and maintenance for the year ending June 30, 1918; water system and sewer system, grading and side walks.
 These headings coincide with the five assessments already levied, with the water and sewer systems added.
 Under the head of operation and maintenance the charges will be based on figures several thousand dollars less than the old rolls, the items making up this amount being allotted for payment out of the fifty per cent fund
 Lots that are overpaid as to assessments, will be given credit on the townsite books accordingly, against future assessments to be levied during the five year period.
 Penalties that have been paid will be credited against new assessment, cancelling the former penalty charge.
 On the whole this development shows the townsite's affairs to be in really first class condition.
 When the new assessment roll is completed new notices will be sent out stating the total charges against each lot; the amount of money paid and the resulting debit or credit.
 As stated above these notices will probably carry credit for all lots not in the district served by the water and sewer systems. And of course excepting those lots on which all assessments have not vet been paid.
 For those lots in the district served by the water and sewer systems there may be a debit balance, as they have not yet been assessed for these improvements. But it is cer- tain that these debit balances will not be great, as the total over assessments carried in the old oper- alton and maintenance rolls fully equal the estimated annual assess ment for water and sewer systems.
 The statement follows: .-..
