the assistant janitor was voted $25 a week and the elevator boy was grant ed S21 a week.
 When the resolution and recom- mendation on Alderman Hogan's non partisan election plans were read |: was pointed by the G. O. P. admin istration that such a thing was not necessary and was in direct violation with the principle of other big Con necticut cities and 1t was recon rnended as being not adopted. When acting Mayor McManus put the ques- ton 1t was straight party vote which decided the issue.
 On the recommendation of the legal lights of the administration the coun- cil refused to adopt the esolution of Alderman AfacFag-den which would allow the city to take a right of way with the consent of 51 per cent. of the property owners along the street. This was pointed as not being legal and in harmony with the state laws and constitutional rights and 1t was voted down.
 By a unanimous vote the aldermen then curbed the privileges of the jit- neys by putting all authority for reg ulating their traffic in the hands of +%r 1.0IiCe comm :ssion.

Following their usual custom, re gardIess of whether the motions were for the best interest of Bridgeport. the Common Council last night voted to turn down every Democratic reso- lution proposed by Alderman Hogan which would have provided Home Rule for the city and a non-partisan election of officials.
 The council also voted to do away with the building line now in force on Myrtle avenue at the plant of the Burns 6 Bassick Co.,, as the company wished to erect a new concrete fac tory there in place of several sect tered old buildings now in use The council voted on the recommenda- ton of the streets and sidewalks committee to waive the building line for about 150 feet. Attorney Clar- ence o. Lister appeared in behalf of the company.
 At the request of the BuIlard Ma chine Tool Go. the dead end Of Al fred street was voted discontinued. Alderman Hogan wanted 10 know to " hom the land went and was inform ed that was for the city to decide.
 The salary of the city hall janitor was increased to S1,56O a year. while

vERrFIEs REPuBLrCAN FIGURES

Senator Thomas. In his speech In
support OF his substitute for the ad-
ministration good roads measure In
the senate. quoted the figures pre-
pared by the Republican campaign
committee and circulated in the last
campaign. as being authentic in the
matter of the amount OF money that
has been appropriated since state
hood. These were the figures denied
by the democratic campaign commit
tee but 1t was clearly noticeable that
they were not questioned by any Of
the senators. When the Republican
campaign committee told the people
that the democratic legislatures since
statehood had appropriated PRACTICAL
ly $54,000,000 the democrats denied
1t vehemently and vociferously--fo
campaign purposes. There was no
mystery about those figures. They
could be found by anyone who cared
to look into the last session laws.

folks. those figures are still correct,
and one day each of you will be made
to feel keenly their reality. But that
isn't all. The present legislature
will Increase that amount to prac-
tically s75.00O,O0O in addition to the
$50, 100000 proposed for paved
roads. The last item, however, will
be put before you for your votes of
approval.

GENEROUS TO EDUCATIONAL
INSTITUTIONS

The lower house of the legislature
has passed bills carrying more than
$4,000. 100000 for new buildings, re-
pairs and equipment at the various
educational institutions. or this
amount the state university gets
$433.240 and the A. & M. College
s395,990. For the first time in the
history of the state the university re-
ceived more than 100000 more
than its president asked for. And no
college president is ever modest in
asking plenty.
This ultra-liberal policy for institu-
tons for higher learning and the
niggardly one usually employed to-
ward the rural schools. where, after
all, more than 90 per cent of the
young folks receive their only school
ing, came in for severe criticism from
farmer members and others inter-
ested in country schools. During the
discussion II was clear that the rural
members of the law-making body
could talk neither as long or as loud
as the other fellows.
Some time this country will wake
up to the fact that 1t is the education
OF the masses that make for depend
able citizenship. Educational oppor-
tunity made easy OF access to the
average child is the solution of many
future difficult problems.

STATE EXPENDITURES

Two years ago when the Oklahoma
legislature appropriated more than
SIS, 900 to be used in operating
the state government for the two sue

that never again would such extrav-

power. 1t was a stupendOus sum and
should have been sufficient to meet

would be retrenchment and reform

"found that no one Is to blame" for
the disgraceful conditions that have
existed at that institution. The state.
to whom unfortunate parents trusted
their little girls for safe keeping. is
not responsible for the pollution of
those girls while under its supervi-
sion! High state officials in whom the
law vests the authority to care for
and protect the inmates of that insti-
tuition. have deliberately neglected
that duty to the end that many OF
those unfortunate enough to be in
carcerated there have been debauch-
ed and diseased.
