STATE MUST ADD
NEARLY FOURTH
I TO TAX VALUES

To provide sufficient revenue to
meet the increase in appropriations
for 1920 voted by the legislature last
summer, which are 81, 100000 great
er than the states appropriations for
1919, an increase of taxes through
increased assessments is necessary,
according to Henry j. Fullbright,
state tax commissioner. This will
mean $25O,0OO,00O added to prop
erty valuations in the state, or near
ly one-fourth of the entire tax val
ues on the digest at the present time.

any one thing that gives a second

THE BREAD AND
BUTTER QUESTION

The teaching profession is a
noble charitable one, but are you
content to work in the charity de
partment of your state when they
allow you no pension or protec-
ton in old age? Are you willing
TO 80 into the great broad fields
OF business where you can lay up
something for a rainy day, and
provide your own protection for
old age? Six thousand teachers
quit the profession in Texas an
nually. Can you blame them
when you compare their annual
earning capacity with that Of any
other class of educated men or
women? Those entering the
bushes world through the route
of BOokkeeper, Stenographer,
Private Secretary or Operator
draw as beginners, salaries from
$4,000 to $4,000 per month,
twelve months in the year and
soon receives an advance in sal
airy and it is not long if they are
made of the right kind Of stuff
before they are promoted to as
I SlStant manager or manager Of q
large business concern, or engage
IN business for themselves and
are thereby enabled to lay up a
comfortable living for old age.
Make a comparison of the teach
er, who after graduating from the
high school spends from one to
two years in the State Normal
and hundreds of dollars prepar-
/ ing himself, and has been teach
ing five years in the public
schools, with the bookkeeper,
StenOgrapher or operator who
has only spent from three to six
months in obtaining his educa-
ton after graduating from high
SchOl, and from one hundred to
two hundred dollars and has had
five years experience in the bust
ness world, and you will find
that the one who has spent only
a few months in obtaining his
education and small amount of
money is drawing twice the sal
airy of the teacher regardless Of
the fact that the teacher spent
more time and money in the
preparation for their life work.
More evidence on this subject
can be had by writing the Tyler
Commercial College at Tyler,
Texas, for their large illustrated
catalogue giving full particulars
of Americas largest commercial
training SchOo with more than
three thousand enrollmentS an
nually and reading what teasherS
say who have attended this inSti-
tuition, Of the advantages it offers
to those entering the business
world where they can greatly in
crease their earning capacity, en-
ablin8 them TO own homes OF

that should rightly be theirs.

NEWBERRY LOSES POINT.
His Attorneys Plea For List Of Federal
Witnesses Denied

Grand Rapids, Mich, Dec 16.-A mo-
tion of the defense for list of Govern
ment witnesses to be used in the trial OF
United States Senator Truman H. New
berry and l34 other men indicted on
charges of violation of the election laws
was denied by United States District
Judge Sessions here yesterday
Arguments for the defense were made
hv Attorney George Nichols, of Ionia,
and former Judge James O. Murfn, of
Detroit Frank c. Daley, who conducted
the grand jury Investigation for the
Government, opposed the motion.
Murfn argued that the request was
prcdicated ON the understanding that it
was IN the interests Of Justice and fair
play for the respondents He said if
the respondents were telling him the
truth, some oi them nj least had been
indicted upon their own statements.
Daley attacked the affidavit filed by
the defense and Contcnded that IL was
insufficient in that it WAS made by coun-
sci instead of one of the parties directly
involved Granting Of the motion, he
held. would place unnecessary obstacles
in tho way of the Government

ton, refused to consider the point raised
by the defense that in 40 States the stat
utes provide that respondents shall have

PRESIDENT CAN CHECK
COAL PRICE ADVANCE
Has Power to Overrule Commis.
sion; Garfcld's Attitude Re
sented in Washington.

Washington, Dec. 16.-The complaints
registered by Federal Fuel Administrator
Garfield that in the settlement of the BIZ
luminous coal strike he had not been
consulted and that his basic principal of
settlement had been repudiated, and all
of which he has given rs n reason for
offering his resignation. has aroused the
resentment of many Administration Off
cials.
There has been great deal of sympathy
here with the position which DIR. Garfield
has assumed, largely because only his side
of this highly important controversy has
been stated. Although the strike has
been brought to an end through the de-
termined efforts of the President and his
advisers, IL is morally certain that the
country will hear a great deal more OF this
matter as the curtain which concealed
the elimination of the long-drawn-out
struggle is further drawn aside.
This discussion will tend toward criti-
cism of the President and those through
whom he has acted unless he finds it
desirable to present the other side. This
might perhaps be done in pointed fashion
by making public the letter OF DIR. Garfield
to the President and the latter's reply.
While the exact contents of these COM
munications are not generally known here,
it can be safely assumed that DIR. Garfield
did not resign his position without stating
his exact reason for doing so and it can
be assumed that the President has made,
or will make. a very appropriate answer
