KRUPP PLANT OPERATED
IN 1910 AT A DEAD LOSS

Washington, D. c. Bethlehem
SteePs net earnings in 1919 amount
ed to $37,4441 ,219. Krupps, of Essen,
did not earn one, Solitary deprecriat-
ed German mark Once the greatest
steel makers i'll the world, they
emerged from the war vitually ruined.
Such is the tale tod by figures which
have just reached this country, show
ing that Krupps, for. the first time in
their more than 100 years OF history
operated last year at dead lose.
The Krupp balance sheet for 1919
reveals that net profits of $24,00000O
in 1915 sank to the vanishing point
in 1919. Five years ago the company,
which has a normal capital Of $45,-
100000 distributed II per cent
DIVIDEND to its stockholders, chiefly
Frau Bertha Knapp Won Bahlen and
her husband. This year there is not
a plenning to enter on te profit side
Of the ledger. Gross profits in 1919
aggregated $1,275,OOO but these were
more than wiped out by interest dues
taxes insurance, weN ARE expenses

DECREASE IN SOUTH
CEORCIA'S COTTON

Martin. c. Calvin, statistican in
the state department Of agriculture,
has brought TO light some Interesting
facts concerning ;he deaseas of cot.
ton production in south Georgia
counties in the past three years.
Taking the map Of Georgia. ne di,
vided the state into south Georgia,
middle Georgia and Horth Geog:la
and computed the cotton prod On
in these three sections from Of
ficial ginning reports of the federal
government for 1917, 1918 and 1919.
His statistics show that south Geor
gia in 1917 produced 30,5 Per cent of
the states c3tton crop; in 1918 pro.
ducded 26.7 per cent; in 1919 pro
duced onl IT'S per cent.
They show that middle Georgia in
1917, produced 58 per cent of the
states cotton crop; in 1913 produced
6l.7 per cent.
They show that north Georgia in
1917 produced Ills per cent produced
1873 per cent; in 1919 produced POS
per cent.
The boil weevil, OF course, is re.
sponsible for the rapid decline of
cotton production in south Georgia,
as in his section Hhe seasons are
long and conditions are favorable
for the weevil to accomplish il max
imum of damage. In north Georgia
the advance Of the bool weevil has
n0t yet reached its peak Mr.. Calvin
believes it will never be able to ac-
complish as much damage in north
Georgia, in proporetion TO the cotton
planted, as it did in south Georgia,
owing to the thigh altitude, colder
winters and shorter crop seasons.
His estimate is that south Geor.
gia from 1917 to 1919 sustained a
| less, all things considered of nearly
$40,000,000 in the decline of it's cotton
production. but he estimates that a
large part of this was offset by the
increased production of other crops

attract into the schools teachers of abil-
ity and training. The other one-third Of
the parishes will find it necessary to call
elections and raise the limit of special
maintenance taxes to eight mills as pro-
vided by the Sylvest Amendment. When
When this has been done, the several
parishes having low assessments will
have fairly adequate funds with which to
hold good teachers in their schools.
The City of New Orleans probably
faces more serious situation than the
country parishes. The salaries of the
teachers of the city have been low all of
these years, and the school board has
found it impossible with the funds at its
disposal to provide many needed new
buildings. A crisis was reached about a
year ago. 1t became absolutely neces-
safy to raise the salaries of teachers, or
close the schools. The school board pro-
vided for a material increase in salaries
by having levied the two and three
fourths mills which Act 218 of 1918 sets
aside for the city schools and two and
one-fourth mills out of the three and
half mills tax provided by Act No. of
1916. The people of the city are familiar
with the suit which was pushed through
the courts to establish the fact that Act
21S of 1918 annulled that provision of Act
No of 1916 setting aside three and a
half mills for the benefit of the schools.
It was very fortunate for the schools, /
think, that both parties interested agreed
to withdraw this suit before the Supreme
Court had an opportunity to rule upon
it. The schools of New Orleans cannot be
operated successfully on a city tax of
two and three-fourths mills land l am of
the opinion that that is the city tax TO
which the schools are entitled. If prop
er buildings are to be provided and the
teachers of New Orleans are to be paid
adequate salaries, it will be necessary to

lal maintenance taxes which q
school district OR a parish may
vote from five mills to eight mills
This amendment does not provide
for any additional school funds in
the country parishes. 1t simply
makes it possible for the country
people to vote special mainte-
nance taxes up to a maximum of
eight mills where they can now
vote only five mills. The amend
ment does provide for a parish
school tax Of a mill and a half, but
since it annuls the Byrne Amend
ment, or Act 218 Of 1918, which
provides for parish school tax
Of a mill and half, there will in
~eality be no increase whatever in
the parish school funds should the
Sylyest Amendment be ratified.
Summarizing.
Amendment No. /, if ratified,
will provide an additional State
school tax of one mill, and this
will amount, on the present as
sessment, to about 81 500, 900, and
will be distributed to all the par
ishes on the school population.
Amendment No. 2, if ratified,
will fix the city school funds of
the City of New Orleans at seven
mills on the city assessment, and
1t will raise the limit of special
maintenance taxes in the country
parishes from five mills to eight
mills, provided the people see fit
to vote such increase in any dis
trict or parish.
Reasons Why These Amendments Should
Be Ratified.
The public schools faces a complete
breakdown unless additional funds could
be found with which to pay teachers bet
ter salaries. This was true of the coun-
try schools and of the city schools of
New Orleans. These two amendments,
If adopted, will enable the school officials
throughout the State to meet the situa-
ton fairly well. The additional one-miil
State tax viii enable possibly two-thirds |
Of the country parishes to pay their
teachers fairly adequate salaries and to

VOTE FOR PUBLIC SCHOOL
AMENDMENTS,
NOS. / AND 2.

Baton Rouge, La, Sept. 80, go
To the Friends Of Public Educa-
ton:
Two amendments on the subject
of public education will be sub
united to the voters of the State
for ratification or rejection in the
Congressional election to be held
November 2, 1920, and it is prop
er, / think, at this time to explain
what these amendments are and
the reason why their ratification
seems imperative.
The amendments are as follows:
Act No. SIS of 1920, known as
the Hamley Amendment. This
will be Amendment No. / on the
ticket to be used in the November
election. This amendment pro-
vides for State school tax of one
mill on the State assessment. IL
ratified, this amendment will yield
Rbout 81 100000 to the schools of
the State. The tax will be col
lected on the assessment of 1920,
and the funds realized from it will
DE deposited with the State Treas
urer and distributed to the vari-
Gus parishes on the basis of the
number of educable children in
each parish.
Act No. 81 of 1920. known as
the Sylvest Amendment. This
will be amendment No. 2 on the
ballot to be used in the November
election. This amendment has
two provisions.
(a) It fixes the city school
fund in the City of New Orleans
at seven mills ON the city assess
ment. one mill of which may be
funded into bonds and the pro-
ceeds used to erect and equip
school buildings.
(b) 1t raises the limit of spec

ratify the Sylvest Amendment thereby
giving the schools access to seven mills
on the city Assessment They cannot
operate successfully on smaller millage
The proposition has been advanced that
should the Sylvest Amendment become
law providing for seven mills on the
city assessment for the schools of New
Orleans, the school tax of three and a
half mills provided for by Act No. 4, OF
1916 will be available to the Commission
Council and can be used by the Commits
sion Council for the ordinary expenses
incurred in administering the affairs of
the city. Ex-Governor L. E. Hall, As
sistant Attorney General, who wrote the
Sylvest Amendment, has furnished me
with an opinion that such will not be the
result. The opinion shows clearly and
conclusively that the adoption of the
Sylvest Amendment will annul the three
and half mills school lax found IL. Act
No. 4 Of 1915, and that saii tax will not
be ava;l1h'e for any purpyse.
Some emission may arse ron the
fact that the Sylvest Amendment pro-
rides for parish school tax 81 mill
and half in the county, <rlsles, and
this may be construed by some of the
voters as an additional tax. Such is not
the case. This amendment provides for
no additional school money in the coun-
try parishes. The amendment does pro-
vide for school tax of rail- and half,
but if this amendment should be adop-
ted the Byrne Amendment, or Act 218
of 1913. will be annulled. The Byrne
Amendment carries a school tax of a
mill and a halt. and so the result of the
adoption of the Sylvest Amendment will
be to kill one school tax of a mill and a
half and provided for another school tax
of a mill and half. In other words, its
adoption will not affect one way or the
other the school finances in the country
parishes. The only interest that the
