MARION, o., Dec. 20. - President

This is stated by those in his conf

The President elect has arrived at

by Congressman-elect Theodore +.
Burton, OF Ohio, who Is REGARDED as
leading Republican authority on
maritime commercial questions.
Harding still Is Open-mnided, how
ever. as 10 the details Of the executive
program for exempting American
ships particularly whether the eX-
emption should apply to all American
vessels or only those engaged in
coastwise trade.
"Harding's ideas on the proposal
that American shipping be favored

SWILTON AND EXCELSIOR
SCHOOLS TO CONSOLIDATE

The patrons and residents in gen.
eral of the Excelsior and Swilton
school districts are taking a great
deal of interest in the Improvement OF
their school conditions. The first
step was to sign petitions to consoil-
date the two. This was granted by
the county board Of education making
one district between Little Mountain
and Prosperity. Excelsior having just
voted unanimously 4-mill tax in Or
der to have the same levy of Swilton.
The assessed valuation of the new dis
trict will be about S175,o00 being one
of the highest rural districts in the
county.
The people will enjoy the benefits
of a modern 3-teacher school another
session. They are. now planning to
build an up-to-date building on the
new road which will be credit to
the community. In order to build
and secure the best available teachers
the sentiment is now for a petition
for a four mill tax which will operate
the school under the equalizing law.
The equalizing law will guarantee a
principal at js110, and assistants at
$4,000 per month if amended. They
realize that school tax is one OF the
forms of tax being spent entirely at
home and that four additional mills
will secure them good amount OF
state aid each year. An example Of
this may be noticed from Hunter-De-
Walt, an adjoining district whose g.
mill tax amounted to s314.71 last
wear and the state aid to guarantee
the term amounted to s64o, being
over two dollars for every one invest

would go her part, and there would
be aid from the funds under control
Of the state commission. ).
