CODE COMMISSION
SUBMITS SUMMAR-
lied REPORT
Gives In Concise Form Sug-
gested Amendments
and Changes


A complete draft of the proposed
new school law has been prepared
and put into the hands Of the Gov
ernor, the members of the Legisla-
ture; the Code Revision Commits
sion, and others interested.
The arrangement is such as to
facilitate reference and make easy
reading. Additions to the Code are
indicated by capital letters; ommis-
sions are printed in italic; and ordi
nary type represents the portions
of the Code that were left un-
changed.
The proposed changes as present
ed to Governor Townsend last
Tuesday by Pierre S. du Pont in
an abstract gives a general idea Of
the revision work accomplished by
the commission:
The maximum school tax rate has
been reduced from $3.50 per hun
dred to $1.00 per hundred. In addi-
ton, 25 per cent of the voters of
any county or special district may
call for a meeting to consider a
revision of budget; but this meet
ing cannot reduce the budget to an
amount calling for a tax rate Of less
than soc per hundred.
The attendance law has been
modified. 1t now reads that a par
ent, guardian or other person hav-
ing control Of a child, may keep the
child from school and be free from
penalty if proper excuse is filed
within three (3) days with the
teacher Of the district or with q
board Of education. Working al
agricultural pursuit is named 6
proper excuse for absence. Other
proper or necessary excuses may be
announced by the State Board Of
Education. However, no excuse
excepting that of illness, shall re
duce the school attendance of {
child below one hundred twenty
(120) days each year.
The powers of the boards O
trustees Of the various local schoo
districts have been enlarged anc
made practically the same as unde
the law repealed in 1919. TIL
making of repairs, buying Of fue
and furniture and the requisition
ing of text books and supplies fror
the county are to be duties of tn
board of trustees but all expendi
lures must be in accordance with
written budget authorized by tn
County Board of Education. An
expenditure beyond this amour
must be approved by the Count
Board Of Education before commit
ment is made.
While it remains the duty of tn
County Board Of Education t

school may notify the county boar
Of it's decision to choose a teache

Had Plenty of Arguments.

Some weeks ago, Gov Riggs of Alaska came here with the proposal to establish constabulary in the Terri tory. He had arguments a-plenty He had the example of the Canadian mounted police to cite. But he got nowhere. Congress being of econo- mical mind, was cold to him. Ex- ecutive officers were not interested Oh, yes, they told him, some time a scheme of this sort might be all right but not now. This is not the time to wiring any sort of new appli- cation from Congress. Whereupon Gov. Riggs returned.
 Yesterday the tale of the alleged determination of Alaska to be self determined, broke on the public Somebody passed the word that Gov. Riggs was in Washington. Reporters moved upon him for statements and interviews. It was the Governors

 Strong For ConstabuIary.

In them he touched only sketchily upon the talk of a real revolution in Alaska, very truthfully pleading lack of detailed information on the subject from tho Territory, but went strong on the text for a constabulafy to enforce the law The result - columns of splendid publicity for Al aska and congressional interest re markedly aroused for the constabu- lary bill.
 Not one word did the governor say to indicate that if he did not get his constabulary. the territory was going sure enough Bolsheviki, but some congressman are argu.ng that. that would be the natural re- suit. Metropolitan papers have taken very seriously the tale of the Red revolt in Alaska. Thus the New York Sun this morning has editor ial nearly a column long on the sub ject. Truth is, Alaska has not had so much publicity in a long time. If used effectively, it may be of zeal use to the Territory.

CORN GROWERS HEAR
PROF. CHRISTIE TALK
BY WILLIAM r. sANBoRN

One hundred and fifty attended the
meeting and banquet OF the Union
county Corn Growers at Liberty, on
Thursday night. Professor G. o. Chris
lie was the speaker. He devoted his
ime to the broader questions effecting
he farmer as a citizen, and to the
iced for national action in the help
nl solution of what is not merely the
armer's problem, but the food and
prosperity problem of our whole
people.
Il don't think" he said, at is pos.
sible that we can long continue doing
business as We are today. The peak
Of the industrial and economic load
may have been already reached and
the turn in affairs be in sight"
THE biggest men in the country are
preparing for it, and one Of the best
informed men in Washington said to
me the other day, I fear that within
five millions of men looking for
work.
Interests Not Safeguarded.
What have we done as nation for
the upbuilding of our agricultural in
terests in foreign lands? Practically
nothing as a government. There isn't
a. man representing the American
Bureau of Agriculture, in any city in
Europe or South America, Or at any
port around the globe
Mr.. Christie stated that when the
farmers of America periodically &C
cepted $3.50 per bushel. wheat was
selling at more than $500 in Chicago
and -four at more than $17.00 per bar
rel. Because of this s2.20 price for
wheat the country has been saved
millions of dollars on its bread, and
yet some narrow and thoughtless
people have said that, while the men
who went to the front needed no ad-
vance in pay to make them patriotic,
the farmer had demanded subsidy as
to price to make him increase his
wheat acreage. This talk was rank
injustice to the farmer who has borne
his full share of the load"
An enjoyable musical program en-
livened the dinner, and for which
much credit is due to Miss Kate
Hustled, soloist. Miss Charlotte Hus.
ted, pianist, Miss Mary Rebecca Pig
man. violinist, and to Mr.. Ralph
Kitchell.
John Mcmahon presided. and the
first speaker at the dinner. John A.
Driscoll, an old member and corn
medalist, gave an interesting talk on
the origin of the Corn Growers as
ISOLATION, which dates in Indiana from
March 7, 1900.
Frank W. Boyle. who in 1919 raised
lO317 bushels to the acre followed
briefly. OF the Is men entering the
5-acre contest last year, IL captured
medals, Mr.. Boyle and Roy Carson get
ing gold medals for producing more
han 100 bushels. at is thought that
Is to 80 men will make the race this
year" said county agent Nye. but the
list is not yet complete"
There are 440 members of the feder-
alton in Union County, which has
learly 900 farmers. A campaign to
axe these all in will be made this
.o.ning fall.

Sobbin' Saxaphone Is Most
Popular Music, Say Dealers

The jazz craze Is given credit for
the popularity which the saxophone is
now enjoying. Local dealers say that
they are receiving more orders for
this instrument than any other small
musical instrument.
One dealer placed the responsible
ity for the situation upon the humble
ukelele. 1t was this .sinuous instru.
ment that first convinced amateurs
that they could produce music of their
own.
Orders have been placed with manu-
facturers for saxophones in lots of 20
and so, but dealers are able to obtain
only one or two instruments at a
time.
The other small instruments, such
as banjos. mandolins and guitars
come in for their share of the lime
light, although they are unable to pry
the sobbing saxophone from Its Sc
cure place.
