DRY PROCLAMATION
 POSSIBLY ILLEGAL
Providence Journal Says Authori-
 ties Disagree With Polk

Providence, R. |, Feb, 1.-The Providence Journal printed this morn ing a statement declaring that the action of Mfr. Polk, acting secretary of state, in proclaiming the prohibit ton am endment effective and adopted was illegal and that the proclaim stion is entirely void for the reason that when it was made, 36 states had not ra tified the amendment. The state ment is:
 The national prohibition amend ment to the constitution was promul- gated by MT. Polk. acting secretary of state, on the 29th of January, the proclamation stating that it was effec- tive IS of the 18th day of January. The proclamation recited 36 states which had ratified the ame en dme ent as of the latter date. This list of states in cluded a number of states the consti- tutions of which contained provisions for referendum of the acts and reso- lution of their legislative assem blies Among these states were Ohio and California.
 ''The Journal has consulted some of the best-known constitutional lawyers III the united States regarding this question and their opinion is unani- nous that MT. Folks action was not warranted by the facts and was illegal
 The Journals information is that referendum petitions are to be filed in all of these states within the pre- scribed period after the adjournment of the assen1 plies which have done their part in ratifying. Undou btedly the state of Ohio, for instance, has not ratified, and ratification cannot be said to have occurred in the state of Ohio until the referendum proceedings havo been completed, either by way of an approval of the assenbly's action or it's disapproval
 Therefore, MT. Folks proclaim ation declaring that 36 states had ratified as of January 16, 1919, is void and without force.''

STATE BOARD
 ANSWER TO CHI
Needs and Plans for Education
 System Fully Explained

Charles F. Smith and other mennhe of the state board of education have prepared the appended statement in which they answer some of the crit- icism that has been aimed at the edu- cational bill proposed, and at the same time explain just what is desired of the legislature and what the result is expected to be if their opinions are carried:
 At the request of tho governor of the state that "A complete and practi- cal plan for needed improvements in our school system should be prepared by the state board of education, that body directed it's assistant secretary to draw up such q, plan. That plan so prepared and submitted to the leg 1slature is based on these considera- lions:
 Our schools cannot be maintained at their present standard--much less i'm mprovad-without greatly increasing the expenditure of money for school purposes. It is especially necessary that teachers salaries should be ma terialiy increased.
 Tt is vital to the interests of the state and fair to the children of the state that school opportunities every where should be made as nearly equal as possible. The country child should have as good schools as the city child.
 Tt is not possible to raise by local taxation the greatly increased sums necessary to maintain the schools at the desired efficiency.
 ''Cnder these conditions it is neces~ sary to utilize the indirect taxing pow CT of the state to provide the neces- sary funds. The plan does not con- template any increase in direct taxa ton upon the grand lists of the towns
 If She state appropriates greatly increased sums of money for school support, 1t must assume increased re-

 ''The past month has been fea- tured by the largest attendance, at special activities. in the history of the local association.
