TAX COM NAILS

NOntfOiie0 NANNY ny the 1. '. n.
The state tax amounts to Is per
cent of all the taxes paid in North
Dakota in 1919, according to an off,
cial statement made by Tax Commits
sioner George E. Wallace during the
week. Upon this small percentage
of the total tax the I. V. A. politi-
clans and papers based all their at
tempts to create the impression that
the League administration was re-
sponsible for the tax increase in
North Dakota this year and that in
crease was running the state.
AS Commissioner Wailace's figure
shows, the state administration is re-
sponsible for increases in less than
one-sixth of the taxes paid by the
people this year, while the county adj
ministrations is responsible for what
ever increases there have hecn in
taxes that total more than FIVE
sixths, or IS per cent Of all the taxes
paid in. AS most county administers

THE uNpERPAio TEACHER.

Telfair Enterprise:
Il have a job in mine and am
making more without an education
than you with one Thus spoke a
boy to his teacher in an Illinois high
school. when the teacher plead with
the boy to remain and finish his edu-
cation.
An irrefutable argument, that. The
boy told the truth. The teacher
knew that he was telling the truth.
A pitable truth it was, too.
How can we encourage men and wo-
men to remain in a profession that
only pays them barely enough to ex-
list? How can we encourage the youth
of our country to finish their educa-
ton when they can go ont as practi-
cally unskilled laboTers and make
more money than those who have
spent years in educating themselves
that they might teach others? In
Washington teacher has to work %
years before qualifying for $1,000 a
year In Chicago teacher cannot get
81 900 a year before putting in II
years in the profession. IN %
STATES TIL ETEACHERS AVER.
AGE LESS THAN $500 A YEAR,
AND GEORGIA is ONE OF THEM.
Drivers of milk wagons and bak,
ers' delivery wagons get $50 to $50 a
month and they do not need to know
more than any ordinary farm lad OF
Ia yearse know A quick, light-finger-
ed colored barber is offered a guaran-
tee of $25 week and told that his
commissions will run the weely sal
airy up to $35. We do not deny that
the milk wagon driver, the barber and
all others are worth what they are
paid, but if they are, those who spend
from ten to twenty years in prepar,
ing themselves to teach our young
sters, should certainly be worth far
more than they are getting.
Georgia has got to do better by her
teachers The pittance that the
empire State of the South is pay
ing her teachers is a shame and dis
grace. 1t is unfair to the teachers
and it is unfair to the uneducated
youth of our state. Let us sincerely
hope and trust that the coming SEES
sion of the state Legislature will give
relief to the situation,

Germany? you ought to wait till we
are out of the war with Germany, be;
fore you begin that talk. We gave
more than fifty thousand of our
bravest young men to defeat Ger
many. We spent upwards of twenty
five billions of dollars to stop the
Hohenzollern tide of aggression.
These young men went to the conflict
with the greatest show of bravery

lives in a manner that makes us
know they were not afraid to die.

That is a pathetic view the anti
suffragists take when they claim that
100000 negro women in the south
will be enfranchised. The negro man
IN the south under present plans
never bothers us. Which OF the two
is. the more difficult to manage? The
man who hides behind three million
negro women in his anti-suffrage
argument, knows he is in big
mares nest. There would be less than
three hundred negro women to
bother about voting. much less three
million. The man who says the negro
woman will undertake to vote does
not believe it himself He knows
every word of it is false, and he al
most knows? There isn't a fourteen
year old school boy on the American
comment who doesn't know that
woman suffrage will not bring the
negro woman into the use of the bal
lot.

Take the embroidered Initial or

cases and use them on new slips. Cut
letter from old slip. leaving a three

linen are usunlly two inches). then cut
the material to form an oval leaving a
small margin to turn under. Sew to
the new slip. then outline with en-
broIdery cotton to concenl stitches.
Outline another row one-fourth of an
inch from the first and work eyelets
at intervals between the rowe to form

tier than when first embroidered.
