upon property. 1t is apparent that
ii the revenues derived from indi-
rect sources shall be increased-as
this department estimates that they
will, then the amount necessary to
be levied against property to meet
the appropriations recommended,
Will be correspondingly decreased"
Ihe report states that under the
authority given by the administra-
tive code, some further inter-de-
partment consultations are in con-
temptation. These include the abo-
lition of the division of stallion reg
istration which is to be consolidat-
ed with the division of animal in
dustry, and the diScontinuanCe of
the hog serum laboratory at Spring
field by the department of agrl-
culture and its transference to the
University of Illinois, which will
use it for experimental purposes
The consolidation of the divisions
of chronological survey and natur-
al history survey in the department
OF registration and education has
already been effected.
Recommendation is made for a
survey of the building needs of the
state for future years. Exclusive
of the improvements located in
Springfield, the state has a build
ing investment of approximately
S20,OO0,000. Former appropriations
for repair purposes have been made
in a more or less "hit or miss" man
ner and have frequently been used
for other purposes. This fact,
coupled with the cessation during
the war of all work deemed not i'm
perative, has resulted in the build
lngs being neglected to more than
the usual degree. A survey made
by the department of finance has
resulted in carefully prepared list
of needed improvements. The
needs have been figured upon the
basis of depreciation in accordance
with well established usage, and
while the amount is in excess of
previous appropriations it is stated
that if the plan is followed for a
series of years, it will result in the
buildings of the state being put in
to a condition which will enable
them to be operated creditably and
economically.

WOULD HAVE ONLY
ENGLISH USED IN
ILLINOIS SCHOOLS

All children in Illinois will get
their education in the language o.?
America. if the state legislature
follows the recommendation of the
state council of defense that the
teaching of the common branches
Of education in English be made
obligatory in all elementary
schools.
- While this would not prohibit
tFf- study of foreign languages in
the schools t would make it nee
essarv that the school proper be
conducted in English.
The recommendation which was
forwarded TO the lawmakers of tho
state says:
Because the English language
is the common as we'll as the Off
cial language of our country. and
because it is essential to good cit
izenship that each citizen shall
have or speedily acquire. as his
natural tongue, the language in
which the laws of the land, the de
Crees of the courts and the procla-
nations and prOnouncemants OF its
officials are made. and shall easily
and naturally think in the Ian
guage in which the obligations of
his citizenship are defined. it is the
sense OF this council that the
teaching of the common branches
of education. as reading, writing.
arithmetic. geography. common
grammar and elementary history.
in the elementary grades of all
schools in Illinois should he in the
English language. and that such
teaching in English should be by
law made obligatory"

Equal rights, so far as the colored folks
OF this country are concerned, bear no rela-
tionship to social equality, so far as the
white folks are concerned Political and
equal rights are or should be the heritage
of every citizen of this country while social
rights are the concern of man and man.
The political question Of the hour is, Did
Hyram johnson of California defeat Charles
Evans Hughes for the presidency with an
eye single to his own candidacy? If he did,
and it certainly looks that way, then why
not the Republican party administer to him
dose of his own medicine
The various branches of the National
Association for the Advancement of Colored
People and the various branches of the
Equal Rights League should insist that the
institutions come together and be one, the
loggerheading of Monroe Trotter and Du
Bos to the contrary notwithstanding.
