! In keeping with the movement start
ed and endorsed by the Michigan State
Teachers association, the teachers in
the local schools have fixed the price
of their services for the ensuing year
at 81 900 for high school teachers and
$500 for the grades. The Board of
Education at a recent meeting voted
to tender renewal of contracts at 5000
for high school teachers and $712.50
for grades, and if we are correctly in
formed, the teachers decline to con-
slider renewal of contracts at those
figures. The situation does not pre-
sent pleasing aspect, and it is to be
sincerely hoped that tn differences may
be adjusted in some manner which will
be satisfactory to both sides of the
controversy. AS stated in these
columns in recent issue, Paw Paw
schools never had stronger faculty,
or a more satisfactory and prosperous
school year than the present one.
The Board of Education have shown
their appreciation of the excellence
of the present force, by the substantial
increase voted in rendering contracts
for the ensuing year. They realize the
advisability of retaining good teachers
if possible, instead of taking chances
with new and inexperienced ones.
They are also cognizant of the con-
stantly increasing tax rate, and will
so far as possible protect the tax pay
erS of this district from unnecessary
expenditures. They are all business
men with the interest of the school
and the community at heart and are
disposed to do the fair and equitable
thing. No one can censure a teacher
or an employee in any line of work,
for demanding wage scale in keep
ing with the amount paid for similar
work in other communities; but there
are always many things for a teach
er to consider in changing from one
school to another, even at slightly
increased salary, and it would seem
that the teachers should consider the
question well from every angle before
issuing definite and absolute ulti-
matum. There should now be some
middle ground on which the teachers
might meet the Board of Education in
a compromise which would be salts
factory to both sides of the controver-
sy, which would eliminate all uncer-
tainties for the coming year, and in
sure the present efficient corps of
teachers. Think it over.

ment on this ballot is the so-called
"Wine and Beer" amendment. Like
the others, this is followed by the
words eyes" and mo-. A cross in
the square opposite the word "Yes" is
a vote to permit the manufacture,
sale, keeping for sale, giving away,
bartering or furnishing of cider, wines
beer, ale and porter in this state. A
cross in the square opposite the word
mo" is vote to keep the saloon from
the state.
The next ballot will be the regular
township ballot containing the names
of the candidates of the republican
and democratic parties. The names
are arranged in two vertical columns
the republican first, the democratic
last. There is a circle at the head of
each party ticket. A square in the
circle at the head of either ticket is
straight vote for the entire ticket. A
"Split-ticket" may be voted as out
lined at the beginning of this article.
The last ballot is small one rela-
tive to raising the sum of $4,000 to
construct a pavement from Gremps
street on west Main, west to the Will
age limits. This also is followed by
the words eyes" and mo-. A cross
in the square opposite the word Eyes"
is a vote to make this needed improve
ment in the village of Paw Paw. and
cross in the square opposite the
word mo" is vote against this
proposition.
This completes the list of questions
on which the voters of Paw Paw
township will have to vote on April
7th. After marking the various bal
lots, each must be folded separately
before leaving the booth, so that the
initials on the back will show when
presented to election official for de-
posit in the ballot box. There
will be two polling places. All
persons living north of the Terri
torial road through the township are
in precinct one and will vote in the
Opera House. Those residing south
OF Territorial road are in precinct
two and will vote at the Coterie Club
house. The polls will be open from
TOO A. M. until 500 p. M. Every
person must register before he or she
is a qualified voter, and there is yet
one day in which to have your name
registered with the township clerk.
After tomorrow, Saturday, March 20,
it will be too late.

1t is perhaps unfortunate that the
newly enfranchised voters at their
first opportunity to exercise, their
right on April 7th, will be called upon
to vote on so many different propos-
itions. 1t will require some thought
and study prior to election day, and
a clear mind at the polls if they
would express an opinion on all the
propositions in accordance with their
prediction views. These lines are
written in the hope that they may be
of some benefit to the new voters. 1t
might be said to that members of
the fair sex are not the only voters in
the land who may profit by predict
ion instructions. In the first place it
is highly important that every voter
should decide with which political
party they desire to affiliate. Then
make careful study of the various
amendments and know for themselves
which is the right side of the question
and how to vote it. In Paw Paw
township the voters will be presented
with four ballots as they enter the
polling place. One state ballot on
which are the candidates for state
Office and county school commissioner;
One State ballot on which are three
amendments; One Township ballot on
which are the nominees for township
officers; One Township ballot on which
is the township bonding proposition.
These four ballots should be taken in
to the booth by each voter and dis
posed of separately and intelligently.
For convenience in these so-called

take the state ticket first.
1t will have six vertical columns. The
first column will contain the names of
Offices to be filled, the others will con-
tain the names of candidates nomina-
ted by the various political parties in
the following order:- Republican,
Democratic, Prohibition, Socialist,
Socialist-Labor. Under the vignette
at the head of each column is circle,
and cross in the circle at the head
of any column, is vote for that en-
tire ticket. To split a ticket, "a line
should be drawn through the name of
the person for whom you do not de-
sire to vote, and cross made in the
square before the name OF the person
for whom you do desire to vote.
The state amendment ballot will
contain three propositions as follows:
At the top will be the "Good Roads"
question, followed by the word eyes"
and "No" with square after each
word. A cross in the square opposite
the word eyes" will be a vote to
authorize the Legislature to bond the
state for the building of good roads
and enable Michigan to receive its
money from the Federal government
appropriated for that purpose; A
cross in the square opposite the word
"No" will be vote against that
proposition. The next amendment on
this ballot is question relative to the
increasing or decreasing of Salaries of
Public officials during the term of
their office. This is also followed by
the words eyes" and mo-. A cross
in the square opposite the word Eyes
in this amendment will be vote pro-
hibiting the change in any way of the
salary of any public official during the
term for which he was elected. A
cross in the square opposite the word
"No" is a vote to leave the question
as it is at present. The last amend
