ion that in the long run more good
would have been accomplished and
less friction and ill-feeling engender-
ed, had two or three years been given
to what was undertaken in one. But
we would be both stupid and unfair,
if we did not also recognize the fact
that much of the hostile criticism of
the commission is in reality properly
chargeable to the action Of certain
boards of supervisors. 1t has been
brought to out attention, for exam
pie, that certain boards made abso-
lutely no real effort toward equaliz-
ing assessments among the taxpayers
of their own counties. They simply
avoided the onerous labor which the
discharge of this duty entailea, and
adopted the easy method of raising
every individual assessment the fiat
percentage required by the Tax Com
mission for the county as q whole.
Some boards even went so far as to
assure their constituents that this is
what the law compelled them to do.
thereby shifting to the Tax Commits
sion the odium of the entire transac-
tion"
The House the past week passed a
compulsory education bill which
leaves it With each county to deter
mine for itself whether or not the law
will be put in operation. The bill
follows the local option idea which
has prevailed long time in the
State.
This is measure which has been
badly needed many years. The state
spends so much money in maintain
ling schools in which to educate the
children Of the state that none of it
should be wasted. Too many parents

JAPAN, SIBERIA AND
UNITED STATES

Is it the Monroe Doctrine which
keeps the United States from consent
ing to give Japan free hand in Rus
sia? Is it a desire to further preju-
dice against the Japanese, on account
of the yellow PERIL? If Japan is a
first-class nation, so recognized by the
U. S., why not accord Japanese in
America and out of America the same
confidence, consideration and associa-
tion allowed other first-class powers?
There seems to The Star that there is
a shrewd, subtle, deep diplomacy be.
ing used in the American-Japanese-S
berian question. 1t is, however, funny

WHITE DRUG CLERKS AND SODA
DISPENSERS STRlkE-NEGROES
ROSE THRU PROTEST.

Scholtz Drug Stores, which formerly
employed Negro employees, but which
recently employed white help, have a
strike on their hands. Rumor has it
that Mr.. z. l.. Scholtz, the Negroes
best friend, has resigned from the
company His brother, w. l.. Scholtz,
the Negro,is still with the company, and
labor, is still with the company, and
we are told has secured crew of Ne
groes for some of the stores. This has
been an interesting observation lesson
for The Star because when the Negro
soda dispensers struck some of our
most prominent men took the rostrum
and pulpit against their move to bet
ter their conditions, at the same time
other drug stores were eager to secure
the services of trained, well-qualified
artists and accordingly opened their
doors to them. Hence, where only a
few Negroes were employed then,
nearly every eating place or drug
store of any prominence have the eff
cient service of Negro help. While
w. l.. ScholtZ might have intended an
injury to us, it was the greatest help
yet. 1t really pays to be man. None
of the striking Negroes have gone
hungry. Really!
