.$1, ,000 a year to get such a teacher, and since most districts cannot do that on the maximum of 12 mills the next best thing they can do is to provide all they can by voting the limit of 12 mills and get the best they can. It is true that the better salary you can pay the better chance you have for a good teacher.
 Most of the readers of this letter may think it useless for me to urge the voting of a l2 min school tax since it is generally known that even that amount is not more than half what a great many would vote if the law allowed. A little illustration will show why it is necessary to mention such thing. A good man from one of the smaller districts of the county told me that it had been suggested in his district that they did not need to vote a school tax this year because they had a good sum in the treasury. Their balance is S176. The income 1 from 12 mills would be about S15O. i They get from other sources $130 a year These figures show that they have possible income of S280 a year, yet some think they do not need so much. During the same conversation the man asked that do not send them a little girl teacher who is not old enough to make cake of cornbread." " The truth is that the best they can possibly do so if they vote the limit of l2 mill IS to employ young and in- experienced teacher. The reason for this is plain. In large majority of the districts they always vote the limit of l2 mills in order that they may have all the funds possible to get the best they can. Those districts which do not do that can do nothing but take the young ones who want ex- perience so they can pet the places that have the money.
 The vast majority of us are poor people. If we vote the limit of 12 mills it costs most of us less than S6 each. Everybody knows that an edu- cation is the best thing that may be given the child. By far the cheapest way to get the education in reach of the child is by taxing the entire com munity Why should anybody object to paying a school tax if it is needed for the education of their children Even tho one may not have children IS 1t possible that he would object to casting his vote for good school tax?
 There is not a district in Polk county that does not need the income from 12 mill tax Mir. Voter. this matter is in your hands. Are you go- ing to cast your vote so as to cheat the poor children of your district out of the opportunity of securing an ele- mentary education at home? The re- sponsibility is yours, but before I could vote down the school tax I would think it over seriously. The fu- ture lives of our children depend to a great extent on school elections. Shall we do our part by them?

THE ANIMAL SCHOOL ELECTION

The election this year will be on May 2l. A few notes may be for some benefit to the districts. especially to those where there has been a lack of interest in school affairs. Last year there were several districts that had no school meting. Some of these failed to hold the meeting because they did not fully understand the law. The following will show briefly what should be done in case there is not a full understanding of the law:
 l. The school election comes under the general election law. All people who are eligible to vote in a general election may also vot in the school election. Women are eligible to vote and hold office the same as men. but they must have paid their poll tax last year. Some think they can vote on this years poll tax receipt. That is not true. Last years poll tax receipt IS the one We vote upon until the first of July in all elections.
 7. Five electors constitute quo- rum to hold school election. If you do not have five voters present you should attempt to get others there. In case there are not five electors to be had suggest that you have the cleo ton anyway. have known three electors to hold the school election.
 ;. The election of directors, and the voting of school tax must be at tended to on the third Saturday in May The law plainly says that these matters cannot be attended to at any other time.
 4 It is not absolutely necessary that the directors be present. In case they are not, the electors present choose chairman, and judges, and two clerks who take the oath. The forms for the oath are found in the poll books which have been mailed to every board in the county
 5. All officials should read the ex- tracts from the school law on the cover of the poll books. They show what should be done at the meeting. and none of these matters should be omitted
 The matter of voting school tax is the one that should be given very careful consideration this year. Taxes have been high in some places because of the highway tax, times have been abnormal, and many people have gone without money, and done without the things this year that they are usually able to buy. It is not expected that the hard times' will last long. By the time taxes are due next year we will surely see better times. It is probable that if some districts should vote a low tax at this time on account of the abnormal conditions it would b. regretted later There is no way to remedy the situation.
 ]. There are districts in the county with less than $500 total income that do not vote the limit of I2 mills. These very districts are always look ing for a good man teacher. If I ask directors the kind of teacher they want. three out of every four will sav they want first grade man teacher In most places 1t is impossible to get first grade man for the total in- come from 12 mills and the state tax. 1t requires in the neighborhood of

 Score another for Congressman Otis T. Wingo of Arkansas. By viz orous action and a timely speech he succeeded in defeating c special bill which was being railroaded thru Con gross for the granting of full Ameri can citizenship to one Emil Fischer of New York.
 The record showed that Fischer had taken out first papers twenty years ago and no more, nor had he lived in this country over five of the twenty years. Of course naturalization laws would iiot authorize his naturalization And so powerful Republican friends backed bill for special act. The reason given was that Fischer wants to marry wealthy and prominent young woman who refused to marry him unless he first becomes a full hedged American citizen.
 1t was of interest that Congressman Wingo's address unified the Demo cratic minority and won many Reuub- ans among whom was Congressman Alice Robinson of Muskogee.
