contested SCHOOLS.
PROBLEM TO BOARD

Now that the question of teachers
wages has been decided for the time,
for the teachers Of the Bemidji Public
schools, at a recent meeting OF the
board Of education, another import
ant matter confronts the board, rela-
tive to additional school facilities
and the matter of securing room to
take care of the increasing enroll
ment in the city schools. A special
meeting of the board is planned to be
held soon.
Efforts are being made and induce
ments offered to retain the present
teaching force for the coming year,
and to that end the board of educa-
ton has voted an increase in salary,
the minimum wage scale to be ap-
proximately SIP per month in lieu
of the present scale OF 500 minini-
mum wage. All of the efficient in
structors will be retained if possible.
The petition Of the Junior and Sc
nior departments of the High school,
asking that school hours be changed
from the present hours Of 8 to 4
o'clock to 8 a. m. to p. M, was
laid on the table by the board and
no decision nor any plans for a
change have been announced.

If you are not sure of the results
of placing a classified ad in The
Pioneer, try one to see. A party
in this city had baby carriage to
dispose Of and decided to advertise
the fact in The Pioneer for three
issues.
Before the second issue was
completely off the press, word was
received from the advertiser that
the carriage had been sold and
that the lad" should be stopped.
At least 20 calls for carriages
were received by the party who
advertised. There are many such

PROHIBITION SENDING
FOREIGNERS BACK HOME

New York, March 13.-Prohibition
is causing 50 many foreign born to
leave the United States that emigra-
ton is exceeding immigration, accord
ing to Congressman Isaac Siegel, a
member of the house immigration
committee.
Ellis Island records show that inn
migration since January 1, totaled
$4,000 while $1,000 persons left the
country. Most Of the latter have
gone back to Poland and Czecho
Slovakia to stay.
While a desire to live in rejuven-
ated homelands is factor in emigra-
ton, Mr.. Siegel believes that prohibi-
ton is the principal reason. 1nabil-
ity to buy beer or wine, he said, has
created considerable i'll feeling among
foreign-born residents, particularly
in mining districts.

Washington, March 10. 49, Charges

."This propaganda led the depart

the full cooperation with the allies, "
Sims told the committee.
He said the reluctance of the navy
department to cooperate with him
drove him to- desperation.
Hundreds of thousands of tons
of allied shipping were sunk, because
the navy department held out for the

KAPP REACTIONARY.

DR.. Kapp, who has assumed the
chancellorship, is known as violent
reaetionary and has opposed the
Ebert government since it's incep-
ton. AS head of the powerful Faith
erland party he was considered an
advocate for restoration of the mon
archy.
Kapp has been closely in touch
with activities of the pane ermanist
groups, who have been backing Field
Marshal Won Hindenberg for the pres
idency. Won Hinderberg was last re-
ported as accepting the offer to be-
come a candidate.
The fall of the Ebert government
may be fraught with the most far
reaching consequences. Allied lead
ers have made every effort to insure
it's security, publicly declaring that
any change of government in Ger.
many would be sure to endanger the
treaty Of Versailles.
Problem for Allies.
The revolution will bring the allies
face to face with these problems:
Forcing the new government tc
adhere to the treaty of Versailles.
Securing stronger guarantees from
Holland that the former kaiser now
informed there will be so guarded
that there will be no opportunity fol
his return to Germany.
Forcing the new government to
adhere to the allied decision to make
Germany punish her own guilty by
trial, before German tribunal al
Leipsic.

Remembering that the state appor-
tionment is about SO per pupil, school
boards should look up delinquent chill

the report, since this state aid is a
great help to a struggling school dis
trict. AS compared with the census
of children of school age, the attend
ance at certain schools in this county
on the day of the visit of the county
Superintendent of schools, the attend
ance in many instances was very low.
Taking fourteen districts, for ex-
ample, the census called for 375
pupils, while only PIP were present
on the day Of visit. Several schools
had a fine attendance and others had
only about so per cent attendance.
If the pupils are not kept in school,
itg is declared, the districts will lose
large sums in. state apportionment:
Besides that, the school boards and
taxpayers are paying for something
which they are not receiving, it is
further asserted. Teachers and school
boards are urged to make the attend.
ance as complete as possible at all

SALARIES TOO LOW
TO BE ATTRACTIVE
Something Must Needs Be
Done to Retain Services of
Postal Workers.

Local No. 1872, OF the National Fed
GRAFTON OF Postal Employees, through
Its officers and committee. has lust
sent out letters IN which attention IL
called TO existing conditions In the
postal service.
1T Is daily becoming more appnr-
emit" tho letters stated, that tho ex-
odus OF trained men from the service
will soon take on the aspect OF q ca
lamity. and to imagine that this loss
can he easily replaced or offset is the
highest OF folly. A competent potI<i
worker cannot be developed In less
than three years, and the material In
not at hand. as Is evidenced by the
fact that the most recent special civil
service examination nj this city at
tracted 80 few applicants that II II
feared the already existing vacancies
cannot be filed.
THE postal workers are making no
threats, and they will not strike in mn
effort to coerce congress into granting
them relief, They have always been
loyal In the past and will remain 80
as long as possible. III the economic
pressure becomes too strong for them,
they will have TO start life anew IN
other fields of enhancement OF
them practically bankrupt. This
statement can be easily verified In
the findings OF the congressional COM
mittee on the revision OF postal SAL
aries"
Members OF the press and business
men, after giving the matter careful
consideration, are requested to write
or wire senator's and congressman
from district and state urging them
to enact the needed legislation TO save
the service and employees from col
lapse.

MANUFACTURERS
ASSAIL LOUTHAN
Request for Additional Taxa
ton information Declared
to Be Outrageous.
P. !. kRUESI GIVES VIEWS

"Outrageous and uncalled for" is
Chattanooga manufacturers opinion
OF Chief Statistician A. v. Louthan's
latest demand. which consists of re-
curing manufacturers to file supple
mental or additional information re-
garding the value of their business
other than that contained in the reg
ular schedule furnished Tax Assessor
Randolph Howell.
Manufacturers this week received
from Nashville blanks from the chief
statistician's office, which must be
filled within thirty days, requesting
compliance with subsection of sec
ton FLA, chapter COZ, acts of 1907.
This law compels corporations,
firms and persons OF Co partnership
to furnish in addition to specific in
formation contained in Their schedule
other facts pertaining to value of
their property as may be demanded
or deemed necessary or material.
1t is pointed out by the chief sta
tistician that this supplemental re-
port does not take the place of the
schedule furnished the tax assessor,
but that both will be used in finally
auditing tax returns and in deter
mining actual cash value of assess
able property. Exceptions to filing
these returns are public service cor
porations, hydro electric plants. ex-
press and mercantile businesses.
Thinks 1t Outrageous.
Il think it outrageous and uncalled
for" stated Paul J.. Kruesi Tuesday,
in discussing the matter, that the
chief statistician should require of
corporations another tax schedule in
addition to the one furnished the tax
assessor. Manufacturers have just
passed through the trying ordeal of
making out income tax returns, and
now are called on to go through a
similar difficulty. l think voice the
sentiment of a good many Chatta-
nooga manufacturers when I say that
it is outrageous; in fact, there is
