SCHOOL BOARD AGAIN
CHOOSES SUPT. TODD
Equipment For Military Drill
viii Be Applied For From
Government.

There was a very quiet, ottinary
meeting of the school board last night,
there being no matters of Importance
to come before the body. Two mem
bers we're absent and those in attend
ance devoted the short session largely
to discussion of the payment of bills.
The largest item was the taking up of
a payment of over $4,000 in interest on
outstanding bonds. Incidentally it was
noted that there was a suggestion of
disposition on the part of certain par
ties from whom the board had con
tracted services to "pad up" their ac-
counts--something that might be dis
couraged by publishing list of such
services and goods purchased and the
prices imposed.
Among other matters it was agreed
to allow Miss Cosper, the assistant su-
perintendent, to attend the meeting OF
the Inland Empire Teachers assoeia-
tion on her own expense, but with sal
ary continued This was recommended
by Mr.. Todd as Miss Cosper is a mem
Der of the state text book commission,
and the matter of text books will be
prominent in the association session.
superintendent Todd called atten.
tion to the recent communication from
the gOvernment authorities regarding
the maintenance of military dill and
equipment in the high schools Of the
state, and he was authorized to make
application to the proper sources for
the equipment, providing it entailed
no additional expense to the school.
AS was generally expected, when the
matter of renewing the contract with
Mr.. Todd as the superintendent was
brought up, his reelection was unani-
mously approved, his salary to be con
tinued at $4,000 the same as during the
past year. This action will meet with
general approval on the part of the
public, for throughout the
three years in which Mr.. Todd has
been at the head of the school there
has been evidence Of increasing eff
ciney and organization. Even the ultra
who have been inclined
to question the policy of Mr.. Todd in
rapidly modernizing the school system,
are compelled to admit that the results
have more than compensated for in |
creased expenditures. The Salem
schools will now compare favorably |
with many of the metropolitan schools
Of the northwest.

were asked by Colonel Arthur Woods,
special war department assistant on

become critical unless each locality
takes steps to provide work for It's dis
charged soldiers. lie recommended
that the chambers Of commerce pro.
vide employment bureaus and assist the
welfare organizations in providing all
the employment possible. The agencies
were also urged to get the soldiers
away from the cities, where unemploy-
ment is increasing.

was expressed that expeditionary forces

YERB|AGE OF PEACE
PACT TO Be CHANGED
Principle Of League Not To
Be Altered---Certain Points.
VIII Be Strengthened.
By Ed L Keen

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Paris, Mar. 26.-The league of ma
tons covenant which was heing TAX
en- up by the commission again today,
will be entirely changed in verbiago
when it is next presented to plenary
session, according to reliable infofma-
tion. ,mM
The principle of The league will not
bo altered, namely, maintenance OF
peace through a community of inter
ests among nations, without impairing
the sovereignty Of any nation, But rec
ognition Of sovereign rights will be
more strongly defined.
Unless some other government OBJ
ieets-whieb is now believed to be I'M
likely-the revised constitution will
carry an amendment that will specif
ically guarantee the Monroe doctrine
without naming It.
U s Votes Equal to Others
By extending the necessity for unan.
unity OF decisions by the house Of dele
gates which is now planned, it is felt
that Senator B0rah = charge that the
British would dominate the league thru
their colonies is met. Under such a
voting arrangement, America q three
votes would be just as effective as
those of Great Britain and her pos
sessions.
When the republican storm of criti-
cism first broke, the correspondents
were given clearly to understand there
would be no general amendments 10
the covenant. II was stated that all
questions had been thoroughly thresh-
ed out and the best method Of phrase
ology decided on so as to suit all
powers. Further, it was pointed out
that il the door were open to amend
nents there would be such flood Of
taem that the covenant would never
be completed. Objections to non-inclu-
sion Of the Monroe doctrine were met
by the statement that if this were per
mitted all other powers would endeav-
Or to make exceptions in their own I'M
tefests.
Now Covers All Points
A feeling IS manifest that the cove
lant as it now stands covers all tho
points raised in the various objections,
but, in the desire to meet all criticism,
certain amendments are now being
made. It IL significant, however, that
some neutrais presented the same sug-
gestions that were brought ont by crit
cisms in America.
If political view is taken Of the
it all depends on where you
it. Either the republicans have gain
d their points in getting the amend
nents they demanded; or President
Wilson has merely sensed public opin-
on Of the world in general and Is ae-
.eding to it.

PLANS TO FINANCE

Var Finance Corporation VIII
Make Direct Loans To
Railroads.

Washington, March 26.-PlanS Tor fl

troll until congress appropriates suffi.
eient funds for capital expenditures
have been agreed upon between the wal
finance corporation, the railroad admin.
istration and the individual roads.
The war finance corporation win
make direct loans to the railroads, Eu.
gene Meyer, Jr., managing director OF
the corporation, announced today.
The war finance corporation already
has begun filling applications for ad.
vances from the individual roads to
meet their April requirements, Meyer
said. The railroads are offering as col.
lateral for their own notes, certificates
of Indebtedness issued to them by the
railroad administration.
To date the war finance corporation
has loaned $1l6,00O.09 to the roads.
This sum includes $4,000, 900 which was
advanced to the railroad administra.
tion.
Policy Provided.
"The policy of lending money to rail.
roads is expressly provided in the act
under which the war finance corpora.
tion operates" Meyer said.
"The policy, therefore, which is now
being pursued in loaning funds for the
operation Of the roads, is entirely in line
with the original intention of congress
as expressed bv the statute and also in
line with the settled procedure Of the
war finance corporation through the
course of its brief history
Officials Of the corporation declared
that with the certificates of the railroad
administration attached to the rail
roads collateral, these nores OF tho rail-
roads could be turned over 10 private
financial institutions later if necessary.
But for the present, it was said, the
war finance corporation will hold the
security for the loan itself.

ment which provides funds for the rail
roads will 90 long way toward elimi.

This aounts to about 81, 100000.

The railroad administration has given
he equipment companies trade accept

discount at federal reserve banks, thus

Director General Hines recently stat
ID that the railroad administration
would require $70l ,697 900 to finance its

The war finance corporation, there
