Roosevelt Three Fl
Times NdrrODn
Escapes Death

TULSA, Okla, Sept. 9.--For the
third time today Lieut.. COL. Theodore
Roosevelt had a narrow escape from
death when the airplane In which he
was making the trip from Okmulgee to
Tulsa for his night address here en-
countered severe electrical and
rainstorm, and the pilot unable to see
the earth or dodge out OF a cloud
bank, was forced to fly aiinlessly about
until the storm subsidized.
4 E. o. Lingo and James Kennedy, OF
Tulsa, occupants Of a companion to
the Roosevelt plane, said lightning
cracked about the two planes. and
twice the engine of the Roosevelt
went daxd. short-circuited by
the rain. h when The twos machines
alighted at handing station here
Roosevelt's pilot remarked to him
that the entire party had been mighty
lucky" Col. Roosevelt was in two ac-
cidents at Joplin and .vinita earlier
in the day. He escaped both unin-
jured.

RURAL SCHOOLS
WILL Profit BY
five CENT LEVY
FAILURE TO APPLY SLIDING
SCALE WILL BE BIG BOON TO
THE POORER COUNTIES.
MEANS AN INCREASED TERM
In Counties Like Maury Where Per
Capita Assessed Is High It viii
Give Considerably More Than II
viii Get In Return.


Because Of the refusal of the special
session of the legislature to apply the
sliding scale of taxation to the five
cent school levy of 1919 for rural
schools it is estimated that this
fund will be increased next year from
something like 100000 to nearly
100000, figuring the raise In the as.
sessed valuation of the property Of
the state at 200 per cent. which il
is said, will be about the average for
Tennessee.
Under the act of 1919 this five cent
school tax is levied on all property in
the state, but 1t is used largely for the
benefit Of the smaller and poorer
counties. For example it Is paid on
the basis of taxation and distributed
on the basis Of population. Maury
county, being one of the richest
counties in the state in per capita
assessment would pay largely more
than 1t would receive, but the excess
goes to the education Of the children
Of the counties where they have not
been SO greatly blessed
On the ne wassessment in this coun-
ty five cent levy will lraise between
$4,000 and $4,000. But the county
will only get back about half of that
sum. Under the law pne-third of this
fund goes to the counties on scholas-
tic population basis which would give
'Maury county about $780, Another
third is distributed to the counties
equally. This would give Maury coun.
ty about another $4,000. The other
one-third goes to counties that have
less than LAO days of school term.
None of that third would go to Mau.
ry county.
An effort was made to apply the
sliding scale to this five per cent levy
and the senate did pass an act for
that purpose, but 1t was killed In the
house. 1t was insisted that the rural
schools of the poorer counties needed
the money, fact that canont be den
led. 1t has even been estimated by,
some enthusiasts that as a result of
the, failure of the legislature to apply
the sliding scale to the five cent levy
an eight months school term would
be assured in every county in the
state. 1t is believed, however, by well
informed school men that this is not
justified. s

PROPOSED MULTIPLICATION.

State Senator Thomas Brown of
New Jersey is reported to be planning
to introduce at the next session of the
senate the following joint resolution:
Whereas tho eighteenth amendment
has not been ratified by the state OF
New Jersey, and whereas ii is doubted
by the state whether the amendment
was passed in constitutional manner,
and since. further, the state of New
Jersey is about to test the validity of
the Folstead enforcement act passed
pursuant to the eighteenth amendment,
and since the state government consid-
ers that it has concurrent power under
the amendment, even if it be held val
id, to pass an enforcement act of its
own, il intends to disregard the Vol
stead act and pass new enforcement
law which will be supreme within the
limits of the state of New Jersey.
The adoption Of such a resolution
would be as clearly an act of nullifica-
ton as the act of South Carolina in
1892 when that state refused to enforce
the federal tariff laws. Notification in
South Carolina was successful. the fed
eral government passing new tariff
bill which practically removed all Of
South Carolina S grievances.
If New Jersey can nullifv the ma
tional prohibition law there will be no
argument against organized labor dis
regarding laws that impose restraint
upon it or against any other minority
defying the laws of the majority. 1t
is plain that the liquor interests Of
the country, having failed to secure
the protection of law in their business
are ready to become outlaws for the
profits of their traffic The question
before the country is shall the dollar
or the law control the liquor traffic

BOOSTS II. c. L.

The disbursement of eight or ten
million dollars bonus money to the
employees of the Ford Motor company is
generous to the employees but it will
have . different effect upon the gen
eral public. The Ford factories have
for years paid the highest wages TO la
Dor and this addition of practicable
$10,000,000 creates still higher stand
will have TO be approached by other
employees of labor throughout the coun-

cost of producing all necessities of life;
and further increases in prices viii be
an inevitable result.
This immense sum represents the sur
plus of profits in the business after the
management has taken what it consid-
ers an adequate profit and reveals one
of the potent factors in the high prices
of the day, the demand for Injuries re-

Illegal Booze Deadly.
St. Albums Messenger.

The danger of buying liquors in
these days is demonstrated in a most
tragic way by what happened in
southern New England cities, in New
York, in Chicago, and undoubtedly in
scores of other cities of the country
last week. Thirsty individuals bought
their drinks and great many of them
paid for the indulgence with their life,
because instead of whiskey being
served them, they were given con-
coction the base of which was the
deadly wood alcohol.
1t ought to be plain that it is very
difficult to beat the game. Liquors
are very difficult to obtain. Those
who deal in them demand exorbitant
prices, and it is only natural from the
very circumstances (Which are pre-
dicated on wilful violation of the
law, that the illegal dealer is not over
solicitous about anything but the
revenue involved. Somewhere in the
chain of selling a man who cares moth
ing for human life is likely to be
found. Last week Is deaths make this
very plain 1t isn't safe to DO buying
whiskey these days. Best way TO do
| is to forget it.

Good Word for Congressman Greene.

Certainly the President Thomas sen

About once in so often something of
this character has to come up to re-
mind Vermonters what an able man
the state has in Congressman Frank l..
Greene. He is SO brilliant q statesman
that he is q dueed poor advertiser. Hon
estly, for a man trained in the news
paper business he is the limit. Mr.
Green s record and official standing in
Washington have entitled him to much
publicity which has never been given
out. The storage batteries are well
charged with facts which will make
very delightful reading when occasion
requires. Congressman Greene is the
logical man to succeed Senator Page
when the proper time arrives and
what : more in our judgment this is
just what will happen.
