Amsterdam, Oct. 30.-The expert
ence of an Austrian banker with
Bolshevik methods, when he made
business trip to East Russia recent
ly, is the talk of the Vienna bourse
advices received here state.
The banker was arrested and in
termed. Disguised as a peasant, he
escaped with 10000 rubles in his pos
session. He fell in with a company
Of Bolsheviki, who, despite his pro
tests, took and divided the contents
of his pockets.
| "Share and share alike is the rule
here" they explained, handing him
back his share" which was only a
tenth of his capital.
/ Soon, though, his fortunes took a
turn for the better. He fell in with
another band which added to its ranks
ragged individual from whose peck
cts 100000 roubles was extracted
This sum was pooled and carefully
divided mad the banker received fai
share. Eventually he returned Il
Vienna with 10000 roubles.

TO THE voTRAs or FLORIDA:

You have the opportunity Novem-
Der S to save the public free schools.
The amount of money available two
years ago permitted school boards to
pay an average salary Of only $685. a
year, a pitifully small sum for q
white woman teacher to live on
twelve months and pay the present
high rates for board. Since then
school incomes are increasing 2.3 per
cent. and enrolment SO per cent
About 500 teachers have been forced
out of the work in Florida this year
Many Boards that have raised sala
ries to hold teachers face bankruptcy
next year.
Your vote for the Ten Mill Maxi
mum School Tax Amendment Is tht
only thing that can save the schools
of many counties in Florida-per
haps, of your own county. If YOU
Board does not need any extra mill
age, they will not levy it. II they

tenths of cent on dollar, or 30t

few mills on the dollar to impair the
progress of our schools, or deny the
teacher small increase In salary?
1t may be that some will say that
the present tax is sufficient. II 50,
why do you continually cry that the
teacher is inefficient, that equipment
is insufficient, that the term Is toe
short and that school wagon is not
backed up to your door every day to
haul your children to school?
| notice that some papers over the
State-notably the Punta Gorda Her
ald-are advocating dog tax for
schools. | hope you will not get this
dog tax mania in your heads. It's a
subterfuge. It's a dodge issue. It's
dollars to doughnuts that no Legisla
ture in Florida for years to come will
ever pass dog tax law. When you
tax mans dog, it's like pulling his
eye-teeth. He would rather you woulG
take bread and butter out of his
month.
The Punta Gorda Herald says it
works we'll in South Carolina. Did
you not know that South Carolina is
far behind most Southern States in
educational matters?
I knew one Southern State to pass
law requiring every owner of dog
to purchase collar and put it on his
dog-the money paid for the collar
to be used for school purposes. A
few purchased collars; others re-
fused, defied the law. The Circuit
Judge instructed the Grand Jury t.
indict every one who did not comply
with the law. The people still re
fused-no indictments. And that law
is still statute in that State to this
day, though dead and of no effect. Sc
far as l am concerned, you can take
all the ours, "possum" hounds, bird
dogs, and lady" poodles, and put
them in "No Mans Land" 1t certain
ly would Hooverize much. l am nj
dog man, nor dog tax man, but | de
not want to see the amendment killed
with such an issue. I am tax pay

it, to the betterment of the public

| Some one interested In the school
affairs of this State asks and partial
| ly answers the question, why should
the people of Florida bubble over a
slight increase in taxation for the
support of the public schools when
! all realize the fact that Florida
schools are operating on the same in
come that was barely sufficient before
/ the cost of equipment, supplies and
salaries of teachers necessarily in
creased along with everything else?
mo fair minded citizen can justly
ask or expect that the teacher go to
the school each day for $500. to pre-
mare his son who will at the end Of
a few years walk out into job pay
ing $780,"
Every true teacher delights to know
of her former pupils going "over the
top" in any honorable line of bust
ness. But the public has too long
poised in ease over this most exalted
reward Of the teacher. Teach and
train; that's an easy job" is often
heard upon the lips of those who do
not know. They do not realize that
she is giving every particle OF
strength she possesses to the training
of the youth intrusted to her care
yet she must forego herself of many
privileges, and necessities, accorded
to others of unlike callings or pro
fessions, for the lack Of insufficient
funds.
Remember that means for maintain
ing the home, and for most every pub
lie institution has increased; then Is
it not natural that the expense Of the
teacher and the expense for maintain
ing our schools should follow?
The people expect much of the pub
lie school. They get more from the
public school than from any other in
vestment. More and more is demand
ed. More is demanded than car pos
sibly be given under the present rev
enues Of the State. Should we stant
still or retrograde?
Our President, the greatest teache
and leader of the age, urges with em
phasis the importance Of doing ou
best for both public schools and col
leges. He realizes that our youth
should be given the best training pos
sible to meet duties and responsible
tiles that may devolve upon them j
the industrial world at the close 0
the war.
Let us make it possible to carry on
President Wilson's suggestions b
giving our full support to the Consti
!. tutional Amendment.
You do not doubt that our publ
school system is the backbone of ou

and girls. In them we have the pow

Attorney Generals Letter
Repud!ates Acts of His
Former Assistant. Warren

A breach between Attorney General

Just resigned as assistant attorney
general, was revealed today in a letter
the Attorney General sent to Repre-

a brief and letter signed by Mr.. War

saying that for more than six months

close in the formers confidence and
has been active in an official advisory
way in the framing OF some of the war

out in a response to a letter Mr.. Cor
don wrote to the attorney asking if

BRITAIN'S AIR CHIEF LAUDED.
Baron Rothermere Has Increased
Efficiency by Taking on Experts.

LONDON, April 21.-There has been
much criticism in a section of the Lon
don press in the last week of Baron
Rothermere, air minister, and the gov
ernment in connection with the resig-
nations of Maj. Gen. Trenchard and
Gen. Sir Alexander Henderson. The
Sunday Times and the Observer. while
paying warm tribute to both officers,
come to the defense of Baron Rother-
mere. They suggest that the air coun-
Gil was formed on purely military
model without regard to naval avia-
tion. and that Baron Rothermere is the
first man in authority who recognized
the need for the air force to develop
along it's own lines. With this object
in view Baron Rothermere decided to
form a small strategic council of aerial
experts.
The Observer declares that since
Baron Rothermere took charge the eff
cheney of the air ministry has been in
creased many times over. and that he
has earned the grateful thanks of the
heads of the government.
