BADCONDITION
Board Meets Today to Discuss
Raising Funds.

With n view of remedylng the condi-
ton into which the school city has been
thrown by the reverse ruling of the su-
preme court on the horizontal assess
ment valuation Of property, special
meeting OF the board OF school commits
sioners was called for this afternoon at
? o'clock.
George w Hit, business director Of
the board, announced that efforts would
be put forth at the meeting to devise
some plan by which the school city viii
be able to raise the necessary funds to
meet immediate financial obligations
and TO carry on the city schools this fall
NO SCHOOLS WITHOUT
ADDITIONAL REVENUE.
He said that TO him the outlook was
that there could be no schools unless
some means Of providing revenue by fail
IS found
More than $4,000 in revenue to the
school city has been~cut off by the action
of the supreme court on the horizontal
property valuation, he said.
Mr.. Hit declined TO state whether or
not he thought there was any possible
hope Of the special session Of the legis-
lature called for next week to legalize
the action of the tax board. saying that
he was not a lawyer or legislator and
that the present ENHANCEMENT should be
left for them to unravel.
But he did say that the only means
OF escape for the school city and the
city, IL the Legislative does not legalize
the action Of the board. is the levy and
collection OF taxes for this fall.
HARD FOR SCHOOL
CITY TO GET LOANS.
He said that the tightening down in
the financial powers probably would
make II difficult for the school city 10
get loans, In view OF the already heavy
hond issue and temporary loan of $3I5.-
Oo0, but he declared that some relief
must be had In the near future or there
could be no functioning by the school
city.
Bids on the plumbing and electric
wiring OF six city schools. which were
received at the last special meeting Of
the board, and which were referred to
the advisory board for investigation, will
be taken into further consideration, Mr.
HIT said, unless too much time has
to be taken in the discussion of the
financial problem facing school officials
ard the board.

Plank o. KID by Borah.

Senator Borah announced recently
that he wants no league at all, but
the foreign relations plank in the
Republican platform at Chicago,
written by Mr.. Root, pledges the
party to an agreement with the other
nations of the world to preserve
peace. Both Senators Johnson and
Borah formally approved that plank.
To the Democrats hereabouts, the
Root speech brings confirmation of
their charge that the only purpose
the Republicans have had from the
start was to prevent Woodrow Will
son from achieving during his cd
Immigration the distinction of Amer
lean membership in league Of ma
tions, the creation of which had
been so largely his inspiration and
work. The Democrats pointed to the
Hitchcock reservations offered in the
senate as early as November, 1919,
in which every objection recited by
Elihu Root was covered, even to the
limitation of article 10. The Demo-
Gratis naturally see behind it all only
a partisan fight against Wilson, with
an attempt to hold him responsible
for the failure to accept the Lodge
reservations when, as a matter OF
fact, according to the Democratic
viewpoint, the/Republicans refused
to accept the Hitchcock reservations
Indeed, the Democrats recalled today
the agreement reached in the bipar-
tisan conference of senators whereby
reservations on every subject were
agreed upon except article 10, and
then Senator Johnson threatened
Senator Lodge with a revolt in the
party and the Massachusetts leader
declined to continue the bipartisan
conference unless Johnson's views
on article 10 were accepted.
Charge Debatable.
That's what the Democrats think
and say, but just how much validity
their view has will hardly be proved
until after the election is over and
tho United States actually negotiates
for reservations to the present
league of nations. If America, under
a Republican administration, should
toffer the Lodge reservations again,
then 1t will be evident that partisan
ship had nothing to do with it. If
Elihu Root should follow the lead of
certain Republicans in the Chicago
convention who opposed flat footed
approval of the Lodge reservations
because they were considered cum
bersome and in some respects de-
structive, it will be apparent that the
Democrats had some foundation for
their charge.
Meanwhile the speech of Elihu
Root is considered the big gun of the
campaign fired in the last two weeks
of October, not only to keep in line
those Republicans who had begun to
think vote for Harding was a re-
pudiation of the present league alto
gether, but to pave the way for the
future overthrow of the Borah- John
son group in the American senate.
