What might be- termed a
glaring inconsistency appears
in the proceedings of the city
alderman appearing in this
paper. For instance they
import a so called health Off
Ger, knocking local physicians
out of this service and thus
forcing the Taxpayers to con>
tribute to a man not a tax
payer or even a citizen, who
assumes the position of die
tatOr over the citizens and is
now telling the aldermen to
hold up the election of a
health officer until, We sup
pose, he decides on a man,
which makes it look like we
are taking orders from Berlin.
1t is certainly not democracy.
Then the aldermen make a
thaust in the right direction
and put a 500 tax on out of
town soft drink peddlers.
The people would like to
know why a $1,000 tax is not
put on these imported ofici>
ais.

The fact is brought out that
Chief Justice Walter Clark,
mighty for woman suffrage, is a
candidate on a platform that is
silent on equal suffrage, that was
adopted by a convention over
whelmingly opposed to it: while
Hon W P Bynum, Republican
candidate for Chief Justice, is
opposed to woma suffrage and
is a candidate on a platform that
favors equal suffrage. AS candi
dates for judge in this State are
not expected to go on the stump
in campaigns, Judge Bynum and
Chief Justice Clark are sayed the
embarrassment of explanation
Statesvllle Landmark.
This illustrates the Indifference
of the public to what might be
called intensive politics, or the
public welfare, and the need of a
platform with teeth backed by
enlightened public conscience
seeking results. 1t has become
the policy to nominate men on a
platform of straw and then permit
them TO proceed as their individ-
ual. tastes may dictate. The
idea Of men voting for candidates
merely because they are on his
party's ticket has passed its day
OF usefulness. Candidates should
be named tor a purpose, instruct
ed, and held to a strict account
of their stewardship, however,
this is the second phase of the
proposition. The people should
first organize, decide on what
they want, name candidates who
will take orders and then pro-
coed.

School Six Days a Week.

Suggestions have been made to the
Butler board OF education to discon-
tinuc the Saturday holiday and hold
school six days in the week instead
OF five as is now the rule By this
means the school year could be fin
ishcd more than one month earlier
and many of the farmer boys who
leave school before the end of the
term could take advantage of the full
term. Another argument used i'll
favor of the six day week is that
many of the High school boys would
be available to work on farms i'll the
spring, taking the places of men who
have or who may hereafter be called
into the service of their country. The
opponents of the move argue that the
student, in order to do the best work
should have at least one day each
week away from his stu,les. That
the health OF the children, especially
in the lower grades might be affected
by too close an application to school
work. This is Matter that has been
studied for some time bv the leading
educators OF the country, several of
whom have written articles for the
press either for or against the move,
but up to date no action has been
taken by any school SO far as known.

Permits Not Necessary for Certain

regional committee, cooperating

of the recent order which prohibited
the construction OF all kinds of new
buildings until a permit had been
first secured from the War Industries
board. The modification permits
dealers 10 sell up to $1,000 worth of
lumber for new construction without
permit. This for farm purposes
only. Repairs and extensions for ex-
isting farm buildings, costing not in
excess oksa,5oo, can be erected with
out permits from any kind of mater
ial required for their construction, in

]. S. TAKES OVER
! EXPRESS BUSINESS
Necessity CompeIs Public Control
Of Another Great National
Utility.

One of the biggest moves toward
the democratic operation of public
utilities that has come since the ma
summated recently when the govern
ment assumed operation of the four
principal express companies of the
United States.
The capital of the new government
controlled company is to be $30,000.-
900, which evidently covers only the
value of the assets needed In the con-
duct Of business. Thus q great
amount of watered stock has been
squeezed out.
The government, as operator Of the
railroads, is to receive E0T per cent
of the gross earning from the express
business, and of the profits remaining
from the other 49% per cent, after
expenses are paid, the company is to
pay s per cent on the stock and any
profit beyond that is to be divided
with the government. This is prob
ably the first big consolidation on rec
ord in which watered stock was
squeezed out. The general practice is
to put a large amount of water in to
absorb the estimated savings of con-
solidation.
Public ownership Spreading.
The latest move Of the government
in assuming control Of the express
business illustrates how public opera
tion in one field inevitably leads to
public operation in related utilities.
Several years ago the parcel post sys-
tenn was established by Congress
against the bitter opposition Of the ex-
press companies. 1t soon developed
that the government could carry par
cells much more cheaply and efficient
ly than private express companies and
the express companies were saved
only by the fact that Congress- set

conditions under which they were car
