LETTERING OUR SCHOOLS.

Progress is being made in the mat ter of educational institutions the same as in other directions, and any community that has a regard for the duty it owes to the coming genera tions cannot overlook it's schools. Good schools. up to date schools and those that afford as many of the ad- vantages as possible to the children in order to fit them to properly han dle the problems of life are not only desirable but should be insisted upon. The character of it's schools means much to a city. It suffers if they are neglected and it profits if they are Nept up to the right standards.
 Next Tuesday night it has been ar ranged by the town school board to have a mass meeting of the people of the town at the town-hall for the pur- pose of presenting to them certain plans which have been receiving con- sideration looking toward the estab- lishment of junior high school. It is something new here but it has gone far beyond the experimental stage elsewhere. Arrangements have been made to have the various details of SuCn an lnStltuLlOn set IOrtn TOT the purpose of enlightening the people ' thereon and titS is a-s meeting that should draw forth a packed house.
 1t is not meeting when action will be taken one way or the other. It is d for the purpose of instruction and ev- eryone who has an interest in the schools and their betterment should make it point to- be there and get in touch with the facts that will guide their action when the time does come to pass upon it. The matter of course must be judged upon its mer- its and inasmuch as it concerns our school system it is a matter in which everyone is interested.
 Attend the meeting listen, ask questions, find out the reasons for it what 1t will do for our educational system, what it will cost, what the objections are, if any, and get in g position to act intelligently on the matter when the time comes.

INCOME TAX FRAUDS.

In view of the many other ways in which schemes have been utilized for the defrauding of { the government there can be little surprise that ar rests have been made in New York charging a systematic falsifying of income returns, as the result of which the government has been deprived of an unknown amount of taxes. In the matter of paying income taxes as we'll as in other directions, no sooner was the law enacted than there were those who set about figuring how to beat 1t, and there were those who were glad to offer their assistance in this direc- ton to those who must pay such they could get therefron.
 Even though they may have believed that they had thoroughly fortified themselves against detection by the safety arrangements they had made, there are some at least who have been caught, and the number includes not only members of an audit company but an employe in the office of the col lector of internal revenue. For such people there can be little sympathy Their whole purpose was glaring fraud and had the particular individ- ual to whom they had disclosed their scheme in the hopes of profting from the saving in taxes that they could make for him by their crooked work been willing to enter into their scheme their swindle would not have been re- vealed now.
 How many moR there are who are practicing the same kind of fraud is unknown but it has been made evi- dent that the internal revenue depart ment needs to exert the utmost vigi- lance not only in running down sucf frauds but in prosecuting those wht are involved. Otherwise the collec
 ton of the income tax is going to re suit in the grossest sort of injustice tt those who make honest returns.
