The Roy School Board has to date
received 12 applications for the posi-
ton of principal Of schools here, and
has as many more for positions as
teacher, which does not seem to- coin
eide with the protestations that there
is shortage Of teachers.
But then Teachers Associations
have the same right to employ plain
chunk" in their efforts for higher sal
aries that others do. The only argu-
ment against high wages for teachers
is that then the positions will be fill
ed by incompetent grafters instead Of
with idealists and enthusiasts, who

The State Taxpayers Association
points out that several hundred dol
lars could be saved on the printing Of
delinquent tax lists. This seems to
be a hobby with the association, and
claims lot of their time which might
better be spent in getting some of the
"malefactors of great wealth" to pay
a larger share Of their proportion Of
the taxes. 1t is truly annoying to see
the people who have been slow pay
ing or who have some charges. of
which they had no chance to know,
paying for a long description which
is illegal, penalty which the collec-
tor who is to blame for the delin-
auency should pay and an attorney
fee which is nothing more nor less
than piratical tied on to it that some
political barnacle may have soft liv-
ing out of the sweat and brains of
other men who do produce something
and are of use in the world
The association also endorses the
action of OterO County in declaring
that candidates for county offices
shall give their entire time to the Of
flee, forgetting that a man who is
qualified to fill an office is seldom
suitable candidate and vote getter,
while vote getter is seldom mentally
qualified to do anything useful.
The theory is all right, but its ap-
plication would be nothing short of
revolutionary.
