The budget committee of the Real
Estate Board In making its second
weekly statement as to needed econo-
mics in city expenses calls the atten-
ton Of the Board of Estimate to the tre-
mendous estimate of the Board Of Edu-
cation. The amount stated to be re-
quired for 1919 Is about $50.000,000.
This estimate does not include the
amount needed for free college educa-
ton. In 1906 the amount appropri-
1ted for school purposes was $23,35s,-
1850, in 1911 s29.O07.747.14. Seven
years later the Board Of Education asks
for s50,000,Oo0.
The Increase in the number OF pa
rochial schools and the establishment
Of parochial high schools have had no
effect in checking the increasing cost of
the school system in this city.
DR.. Henry w. Berg, an educational
expert, claims that thousands Of dol
ars have been wasted on all kinds of
lads and that the estimates themselves
are based upon incorrect registration
and incorrect and improper grading.
DR.. Berg says there should be no
appropriation beyond the amount
fixed by law. 4 9-1o mills, which would
produce about s43.0Oo,OO0. This amount
was fixed by experts as the limit to be

estimate calls for $50 ,000,0 900 this would
lessen the proposed budget $1,000 900, or
nearly nine points in the tax levy.

ion that no argument is necessary to
prove that the municipal government

college education. 1t might be advisable.

Defense Council to Help

Work Organization Which Played Large Part in War
 Told By A. H Rowe

coon after our country entered the ,roat war the National Congress pass sd an Act creating the Councol oA National Defense. President Woodrow w;lson was at the head of the organi- ,at;on with Secretary ofIWar Baker
 .nd other members of the Cabinet. The President appointed the National council and called into the service of he government some of our ab'est men, All served without compen a. inn. Large and commodious bu. l. mos were erected to carry on the work. The National Council author ,ed the Governor and Adjutant Gen.
 pral of each state to form a State culncil of Defense. which was head cd in Arkansas by Governor Charles I H. Trough and Adjutant General Lloyd England.
 The Governor with the advice of the Adjutant General, appointed in each
 county County Council of Defense.
 On June Fist. 1917. the Jefferson
 County Council of Defense received their appointment. The following
 men composed the Council
 A. H. Powell, H. B. Strange J. B.

 notable was the voluntary act of giv- ing our soldiers in Frnace all the flour owned by the merchants of Jefferson county This was q voluntary act on the part of the merchants when they were told that our soldiers were in need of white flour, they unanimously agreed to surrender what flour they had on hand to the government for our soldiers over there. This one pa
 triotic act has helped greatly to put Jefferson county before the eyes of
 the patriotic world.
 A few other matters now claim the
 attention of the council. Most prom
 inent is the assisting the returned sol ders to get their old positions back ! or new employment. The council as
 we'll as all citizens in Jefferson coun- ty will do this gladly. From the be- ginning the council as well as every , citizen in Jefferson county, was will ing to make any sacrifice to do any thing that the government asked and
 stood willing and still remains willing to help in the read iustment of all
 matters that our government directs to our attention.

The Council of Defense was an or ganlzatlon of the government and the government through the county coun- els distributed information and col lected and assembled facts which it desired. In fact the County Council of Defense was the clearing house for all government matters. Much infor- nation was furnished the government that was confidential. Very few ap- continents were made without ques- tlonnaires sent to the council by the government or the head of the de- partments for full and complete in- formation. This was true as to Y. M. C. A. workers and Red Cross nurses and others. The alien enemies lists were given to the council as well as all naturalization investigations and 1t was the duty of the council to fur nish information asked for by the gov e,nment and to carry out the orders and instructions. The council held weekly meetings and complete record was kept of every decision of the council. All meetings were well at tended and with marked patience and careful Investigations did the council go into every matter. large or small, which was submitted to them for their decision. Nothing but the best inter- ests of the government prompted their decision on any matter. The Council of Defense was permitted to raise funds to carry on the war activities in our county. to pay the expenses of Liberty Loan drives, Food Admins tration and other matteers and it is indeed with just pride, that We refer to the fact that our patriotic citizens responded literally and willingly, and in that manner these great war ac-
