Wnere the money was to be secured
with which to pay the advanced sal

On the present rate of taxation,
which Is at the maximum allowed un-
der the city charter, there will be a
defcit of $16,500 incurred in meeting
the advanced salaries voted the teach
ers. The only solution is an increas-

the board will send a committee be-
fore the council asking recommen-
datlon Of legislation to that effect by
the general assembly of Georgia at
Its session which convenes the fourth

figured that the school tax rate will
have to be increased from fur mills
to six mills, even allowing for a nor
nal increase in property values.

Gift Hat For Wife

NEW YORK, May 13-The $4,000

country hoped to present to Nine.

$50; another, $1,5OO; two $3.50;
and the others, $1,000 each.
In the grammar schools two of the
principles will receive $1,40O each
and the other $1,000. The grade
teachers in all grammar schools will
receive 81, 1,O8O, against 5000 each this
year. This scale will also apply to
the teachers to be employed in the
East Albany school, which it is hoped
soon to establish.
In the negro school liberal increases
were granted, and the teachers in
that school now receive a minimum
of $50 month, and from that to $40
month, or more than the white
teachers in some of the smaller
schools in Georgia are receiving to-
day.

THE public anxiety for Garfield

death was deepened by a general dread
Of the vice presidents succeeding to
the presidency. The people as a whole
knew nothing of Chester Alan Arthur,
except that he had been only lately
removed from the collectorship of the
port Of New York as machine pol
itician, and that he had been noni-
mated for the vice presidency as a
henchman of Roscoe Conkling.
After Athur had been sitting in the
vice presidents chair only a little
more than two weeks, he opened big
White House envelope one day and
flushed as he glanced at the unexpect-
ed contents-the nomination of hated
"Half- Breed" to the colleetorship of
the port Of New York. With an ex-
cited gesture, he summoned Senators
Conkling and Platt, and the three
"StalwarIs" famed up with rage at
the challenge to them from the new
administration. When the New York
senators resigned thir seats and ap-
pealed to the legislature Of their state
to re-elect them as a protest against
the administration, the spectacle Of

AN ERA OF REFORM

TT IS one Of the pranks of fate that
Il Chester A. Arthur, whom President
Hayes put out OF the New York GUS
tom house as a spokesman and politi-
cal boss, should find himself in the
White House seven months after
Hayes left it and conducting reform
administration. It was the mandate
and lesson Of Garfeld's assassination
that we must get rid of factions and
spoils or the government itself might
next be struck down as its chief had
been. Arthur saw that this was the
logic of the tragedy which had thrust
him into the presidency and he did his
best to clean house.
The race for preferment had excited
an unnatural appetite for public office,
and the getting of job was regarded
as exhilarating sport. From police
man, fireman and letter carrier to
chiefship and consulship, every place
on the payroll Of city, state or nation
went by favor. Two endless process
sions were forever moving, one made
up of those who had been turned out
or turned down, and the other of those
who were struggling to get in.
The civil service law, which was
passed in Arthur's administration, took
out of politics the departmental clerk
ships in Washington but S5 per cent
of the federal employees as a whole
were left under the spoils system.
Nevertheless, the difficult first step had
been taken toward the present COM
prehensive system, when all but a few

Question He was indeed almost the
first president in so years who felt
free to ignore the unhappy issues OF
sectionalism.
When he stepped into the White
House Arthur found his party rent
by factions. He left it more nearly
united than it had been before in
20 years and with at least chance
to win again in 1884. He might him

He looked as well as acted the presi,

rural or small town men, Arthur was
the best dressed man to sit in the chair
since Washington, and perhaps the
handsomest, with a tail, graceful fig

and grave but easy courtesy.

Mrs. Arthur died only in the year be-

Declining to remove the collector of

had appointed, against his protest, he
even permitted that otficeholder to
leave his post and oppose him in the
contest at the national convention.
No other president has done so little
as Arthur did to obtain Il second term.

the high example he set, but for his
