Senate In Doubt, But Also Probably
Republican.

Washington, Nov. 6.-Congressiona

apparent that the Republicans had
taken control Of the house of repre-
sentatives by majority of at leas'
eleven-probably more

outcome depending on final return
in Michigan, where Henry Ford was
running close contest with Truman
H. Newberry, and in Idaho and In
New Mexico.
On the returns available rs Re-
publicans had been elected to seats
in the house now held by Democrats
and seven Democrats had been elected
to seats now held by Republicans.
In the senate one Democrat had
been elected to seat now held by a
Republican and six Republicans had
been elected to seats now held by
Democrats.
On the returns at hand the house
figures were Republicans, 236; Demo
Gratis, 1876; Socialists, 1; doubtful /
a majority is 218.

WOULD DOUBLE TEACHERS
PAY FOR ONE MONTH.
Supt. Bond Thinks that Safest Way
to Make Up For Lost Time.

In a letter addressed to superinten-
dents and principals of schools State
Superintendent W. f. Bond, following
the advice of the attorney general
suggests that it is better to increase
salaries for teachers while at work
than to pay them on lost time bas-
sis on account of the recent closing
due to the influenza. Superintendent
Bond says:
1.-The Attorney General has given
it as his opinion that it will not be
safe to pay teachers directly for time
lost, and suggests that the lost salary
be made up by an increase in salary
during the next month taught or dur
ing the remaining months AS you
know there is no statute bearing d.
recetly on this proposition, consequent
ly it would have to be taken to the
Supreme Court for a final decision.
Since it is almost as convenient to
1ouble the salaries of all teachers for
the next month taught and thus
avoid any question at all as to the le-
sality of the proposition, this seems
10 be the safest thing to do.
IL think the teachers on their part
should volunteer to make up the time
either on Saturdays, or holidays. or by
teaching a period longer each day.
If the matter of lost time and salary
has been settled already in a manner
satisfactory to all parties you need
not of course pay any attention to this
letter.
Il trust that you will give only one
day for Christmas this time in view
of the fact that we have lost so much
time. Furthermore. these are war
times. and holidays are strictly out of
order. Very likely our soldier boys
will not haven even Christmas day off
The second line of defense should be
Just as patriotic as they"

PRICES STILL GO UP
DESPITE PEACE TALK.
Reserve Board Reports Business Active
Throughout Country.

Washington, Nov. 6.-Despite peace
prospects, prices generally through
out the United States are showing a
tendency toward a further upward
movement" according to the federal
reserve boards monthly review today
of business conditions as reported by
agents in each federal reserve district
Increases are particularly noticeable
in commodity lines not affected by the
governments price-fxing program.
Many manufacturers and other pro-
ducers are reported following a con-
servative course by keeping only small
stocks on hand in preparation for new
business conditions after the war.
Rising prices and credit imitation
the board says, must be opposed by
strictly personal economy.
The boards explanation shows that
bank loans for purposes other than
short time commercial transactions
are becoming steadily greater in
volume and in proportion to reserves,
causing imitation and resultant in
creases in prices.
General business activity throughout
,,. "try is reported by practically
all reserve agents.
The marked reduction in re,.,..
put of clothing materials, shoes ana
other articles of personal use indicate,
the board said, that civilians in few
months may have great difficulties in
getting these goods.
Banking conditions are reported
about as satisfactory as could be eX-
pected under the circumstances"
Building operations are practically
stationary.
